Have you ever seen The Hidden? I liked when I was a kid but prolly haven’t seen it since. I’m curious if it holds up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched it again about a month ago. Hasn’t aged terribly, but hasn’t aged well either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Killing Them Softly is such a weird bad movie with some great aspects to it. I watched it again recently to see if it improved on second viewing. It did not. It’s just a weird bad movie with some great aspects to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to believe the same writer/director behind a gem like TAOJJBTCRF made such a turd like this as his followup lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tetsujin Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) American Fiction was great but the trailer made it seem like a straight up smart, outrageous, LOL comedy. But it was more of a thoughtful, poignant movie with a good amount of subtle humor. Edited March 16 by Tetsujin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowler1215 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Retribution is god awful. Liam Neesen is driving his two kids to school when he gets a call saying there's a bomb in his car. If he gets up, the bomb goes off, the bomber also has a remote to detonate it. I didn't care abut anything. He tells his wife to do a few things, and she pretty much does it, no matter how crazy it sounds. Its no surprise who the bomber is, although there's one scene that makes no sense when the reveal happens. The movie also just ends. There's no Neesen reuniting with his family at the end. And for a 90 minute movie, it felt long. 0/10 Avoid this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a big fan of "True Crime" stuff (seldom NOT reading a mystery of some sort). Showed her all of the true crime stuff available on the ID network. Certainly piqued her interest. We then flipped through the offerings on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). Scrolled through until one caught her eye. She asked me what Se7en was. Gulp. I told her it was a murder mystery. An intense one. She told me she was up for watching it. So we did. Now this is someone that for my 6 decades on the planet always got up to "go make tea" whenever something tawdry or scary was on TV. She was glued to this....(she's a big Morgan Freeman fan). The one "jump scare" startled her. (I spoke with a friend who lives in LA, that I met thru Australian Rules Football, and he works in the tv/movie business. He told me that he had a friend who was on the crew for Se7en, and that they didn't tell John C. McGinley that the Sloth victim would "jump" up from the bed. He truly got a scare there.) When the delivery guy showed up, she correctly "called" what was happening at the end of the film. I was so darned impressed. My sister was mortified, as she thought it was going to traumatize her. Yesterday, she asked me about "Silence of the Lambs". I told her that it was even more intense than Se7en. She said that maybe she should take a short break from that sort of excitement. (She's made it 2 episodes into Breaking Bad. Krazy-8 has been locked to that post for several months now. We've got to resolve his issues soon. ) We've made it through 8 episodes of season 2 of BB. She is enjoying it. Just met Saul, and I've spent a bit of time explaining to her that there isn't a wasted moment of imagery, and even the titles of episodes have meaning. (i.e. 737, Down, Over, ABQ). She's absolutely loving it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Moneyball Always enjoy this, it's a well told story and Pitt and Hill do a great job making what could be a dull explanation of the concept interesting. I always do get a chuckle out of how they gloss over having the best rotation in baseball, an ace closer, and two all star infielders in Tejada and Chavez.
