I'd be curious about the actual case bcuz I swear the narrative for years was that she was legit guilty. It's not actually about Amanda Knox. Just the "American in foreign country murders roommate" story is based on it. As far as Knox is concerned, I'm not sure she was actually guilty of it or not. Didn't they have DNA of the other guy and that dude fled the country? I'd have to follow up on all the details again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading an-depth article about it years back while she still locked up. It sure didn't look good for her at all but I didn't keep a close eye on the trial. I think she was convicted twice and acquitted twice. I know she's pissed about the movie tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a blatant rip off of her story and she gets no money from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Jungle Cruise Meh. That's really all I got. Never been on the ride so I have no idea whether or not this story was true to it or not but it was okay. Enough to keep me entertained for a few hours but, other than that, there's no reason to watch it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mox Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Flipped through channels and Batman Begins/The Dark Knight were on. Had nothing to do so rewatched those for the nth time. Two movies I appreciate more and more every time. Probably the best superhero origin story ever, and one of best sequels ever. The Dark Knight is a masterpiece in so many ways but I love how many moral dilemmas are placed in that film. One man with gunpowder and dynamite brought a city to its knees. It's a damn shame Ledger died. The rumor of him coming back in the third movie as a Hannibal Lecter-esque character to help Batman against Bane would've been incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God, Maggie Gyllenaal was so miscast though. Nolan with a powerful 0 for 2 on that character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TVScout Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Outstanding example of how FX used properly adds to the story instead of being the story itself. Three stars. TVScout says check it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Prince Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Saw they live for the first time. Was a decent film that I’ll probably never watch again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty21 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Sweet Girl on Netflix. Very average at best. Didn’t really do anything new. The twist at the end they stole from The Uninvited made me laugh. Jack Reacher (2012) was pretty subpar as well. Action movies are kinda hard to pull off I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked out being like, well they change that Pirates of the Caribbean formula enough to work. But next morning was like no it was 100% the same formula. Worked, would watch another.
