Movies! The movie thread

ASAP · 11-22-2021, 09:45 AM

Have you guys seen the new James Bond?

I am not going to spoil anything but it is by far the worst Daniel Craig Bond movie by far.

The film somehow lacked the finesse of the other movies and felt more like a fast and furious (obviously exaggerating) than a true Bond. I looked up the director and all of my suspicions were confirmed... all I will say is that if you watch Casino Royale and No time to die side by side... you would wonder what the hell happened.

Oh and Rami Malek... an amazing actor as evidenced by his Freddy Mercury portrayal is entirely wasted in this film.

I have been expecting that for years. It would have been golden.

Daniel Craig and his one face/expression...... bee sting. I have rolling pins that are less wooden than him.

Also excited for this one, and one hell of a cast in it too!

Yes we have……and yes, some of us felt it was a lackluster effort while some really enjoyed it. I found it boring, which is saying a lot because I really like Daniel Craig's "Bond."

I forgot to mention the zombie Netflix series, "Black Summer." I truly enjoyed it. I've also noticed Johnny Mnemonic is on Netflix as well.

P.S. Me, Hottie attorney and her son watched the new "Ghostbusters" movie last night. It was quite enjoyable and was a throwback to the first movie in more ways than four. I found it far more enjoyable than the Ghostbusters flick with the all female cast.

P.P.S. Has anybody watched, "The Deep House"?

No, haven't seen The Deep House, but glad to hear you enjoyed the new Ghostbusters movie because I want that to be good so I can enjoy it too.

I really enjoyed Black Summer as well. I watched that over the Summer and was surprised I didn't hear much about it. I only knew about it as I was perusing the menu on Netflix. I had posted about it at the time and mentioned how much more I liked it than the typical zombie series. Just has a "real" vibe to it if you know what I mean.

Haven't seen the new Ghostbusters and I never bothered with the all female cast version as I knew I probably wouldn't care for it. Hard to beat the original.

Not familiar with "The Deep House".

That zombie series did have a realistic feel to it. I hope there will be a season three. Like you, I watched it last year during Covid.

I was perusing the Firestick and I came across "The Deep House." The premise sounds interesting.

BMW F22 · 11-22-2021, 09:26 PM

Ghostbusters Afterlife was good. Definitely nostalgic as someone mentioned. I also like that old school element from Stranger Things. Should be a hit with those that grew up with it.

Yes. The other day. It's on EPIX. I'm a horror movie buff! This was lame AF.

Looks like I'll pass on that watery horror flick.

I'm kinda interested in Encanto on the FireCinema for after feeding my face Thursday.

TiMSport · 11-24-2021, 10:43 AM

Though this is not the "I Confess" thread, it is the movie thread so I'll combine both.

I watched the trailer for "Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin" on Paramount+ channel last night and admit it actually looked good. I didn't see the original Paranormal Activity movie so I'm coming in from a neutral and unfamiliar perspective. I checked reviews and it was pretty bad. Maybe it was the mood or something but since I can watch it for free I'll probably check it out. Lol.

Captain Blood · 11-24-2021, 10:59 AM

I had a great time watching "The Matrix" with one of my 19 year olds last night. Tonight, it's "Die Hard" with his twin.

Every Paranormal Activity is pretty bad. Pretty much over an hour of watching boring security footage with some jump scares sprinkled in, all for a 5-minute anticlimactic ending. The only reason the original is seen as any good is because it was a bit more unique of a movie for its time, but I wouldn't waste my time watching any of them.

But it's about the evil Amish people!

Watched a bit of this in the morning before rushing off.
Don't trust hamster killer Amy.

I don't know if this was posted earlier but I just saw the trailer so thought I'd throw it up, there has to be some Metrix fans here.

Captain Blood · 11-27-2021, 01:17 AM

I just watched the last 45 minutes of Cinderella man. Good movie.

After that, went to the media room, finished the last half of Star Trek 2. The best comfort movie of all time.

M5Rick · 11-27-2021, 02:58 AM

Watching this late night and it is a real shark attack scary.
