Tomorrowland on Disney. I was bored, okay!?

 

Midnight Sky on Netflix. Had a couple of moments, but still think it's worth about a 5.5-6 out of 10.





People often mistake me for an adult because of my age.

 

Keep calm, and carry on posting.

Average ?

 

It's a superb translation of the Tom Wolfe book into a live action cartoon.

 

Three hours goes by in a blink of an eye.

 

 

Sorry, @ilovemusic, I'm not sure the title of the movie you're commenting on - is it called 'Average' or are you responding to someone's earlier comments?!

Home alone

 

Finally got around to seeing this. Hasn't aged well, surprisingly violent, what was all the fuss about? 3/10 + 2 for Joe Pesci = 5/10.

 

(will skip sequels)

Wonder Woman 1984 (WW84)

 

All the poor reviews on IMDB were correct.  I give it 3/10, 1 point for Gal just because she is awesome and pulls off the WW persona very well, 1 point for Chris Pine, just a good all round actor, and 1 for Kristen Wigg who played her part well despite the terrible lines she was given.   

 

Other than that the movie had no redeeming features whatsoever past the first 8 minutes.  Story line was a disjointed mess with plot holes that are just so large as to be laughable or just completely pointless, terrible  CGI, a final showdown that was so short blink and you will miss it, and so many questions with that ending?????  Not even a poor cousin to the first movie.  I really wanted to enjoy this, but I wished I had avoided it. 

 

 

 

 





Lazy is such an ugly word, I prefer to call it selective participation

It's one of those you had to be there films. Helped to be young when it came out. The fuss is mainly nostalgia.

Sunset Boulevard 7/10 DVD

 

Stars William Holden and Gloria Swanson in a story about a screenwriter who gets tangled up with an old silent movie film star who is losing her mind. Pretty atmospheric and Swanson puts in a great performance. Directed by Billy Wilder which is never a bad thing.

 

If you like old movies (1950) it's worth a watch.

Underwater. (2020)

 

4/10

 

Not much to say really, story line is bollocks and acting not that much better.

 

A crew of oceanic researchers working for a deep sea drilling company try to get to safety after a mysterious earthquake devastates their deepwater research and drilling facility located at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

AVA - Netflix 6/10 - this was alimony money for the usually quite good actors - yawn.





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

It is ! I was bigging this up earlier in the thread.





Most of the posters in this thread are just like chimpanzees on MDMA, full of feelings of bonhomie, joy, and optimism. Fred99 8/4/21

Black Eagle on Plex. I was interested to see one of the earliest Jean-Claude Van Damme movies, - and how he would fare as the villain.

 

I am surprised he even had a career after that movie - 2/10.
