Maybe that Netflix movie with the Avatar guy. Sam Worthington? The one where his wife and child go missing. I really hated it. Dinklage was good in it, but nothing about it was enjoyable and I hated every minute of it. Bottom 10 movie I’ve actually finished watching in the past 10 years. Yeah, they needed to take a lesson from Burn After Reading to make selfish/boorish/bad people very likeable (and funny). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnChimpo Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) I watched a couple of bad movies, Johnny Mnemonic and Cool World, earlier this week knowing they’d be bad. I was feeling nostalgic for the 90’s. I had seen Johnny Mnemonic, but it had been about 20 years. It was entertaining for a bad movie, but I liked it more when I was a kid. Cool World was really bad, but it was entertaining enough for me to finish it. Brad Pitt was so different back then. Now watching a good movie I hadn’t seen in years...Batman Begins. I might just complete the Nolan trilogy. Edited March 6, 2021 by JohnChimpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty silly at times and obviously not as good as the last one but it was fun seeing all these actors together again. Leslie Jones and Tracy Morgan were hilarious additions. It may not make the rotation but it’s worth a look for fans of the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracy Morgan can be funny I guess. The man has great comedic timing, but it really depends on the script he's given, and this one was not good. He was excellent frequently on Saturday Night Live and in 30 Rock. Leslie Jones is not funny. Some things she's said in her standup and her television and her film career have been funny, and that's why people laugh in spite of her delivery, which is always the same. Her idea of funny is loud, boisterous and obnoxious and people are caught off guard by the incongruity of it sometimes and they accidentally laugh. But she is not funny. I think probably her yelling makes people uncomfortable, which forces people to laugh at her standup, and as the crowds got bigger the peer pressure for people to laugh got greater. I think that's how Amy Schumer got where she is, too. Not off humor, but discomfort stemming from their crass vulgarity and over the top delivery. It made people uncomfortable, so they laughed until more people laughed until enough people were laughing she got famous. Then again, there are a lot of people who think John Cena is funny in his terrible comedy movies. So Leslie Jones is great if you like the comedy of Dane Cook, Amy Schumer and Aziz Ansari. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't laugh out loud at any point either, but agree that it was fine. It's just preying on sentimentality and nostalgia, but that's fine and it worked for the most part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Rented out a theater at the local Cinemark for my twins birthday for them and their friends and chose The Meg to watch since none of us had seen it and it seemed like a solid choice for 14 year olds, and all the new release selections were pretty meh. This was a very paint by numbers type of action thriller, but I do have to say the numbers were painted very well. Statham is solid in this type of role as ever with a good amount of heart and badassery, the little girl was used very effectively and not over used, a good mixture of jump scares and tension building, Rainn Wilson plays the D-Bag billionaire well. The forced romance stuff fell flat, but it at least wasn't pushed too hard so it really didn't take away from the experience. All in all a movie I could easily see myself seeking out to rewatch in the future and the kind of movie you could pick up at any point and enjoy it until it finishes.

beekay414 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 The Whole Ten Yards is still the best sequel to a film ever. It's been almost 20 years but I want The Whole Eleven Yards damn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
