Rewatched Rosemary's Baby after what's probably been decades since I first saw it, still a classic.

Never saw Rosemary's Baby and probably never will.

Worst Guy Ritchie film I have seen to date. It was as if some British bloke tried to write a western movie and it did not work out.

A friend of mine is in graphic design. He has software that he can enter parameters for what he wants in the ad; then the software spits out an ad. Takes no talent, but produces a result. It's almost as if Ritchie used similar software for this movie. The dialogue is anything but organic or believable. Based off the writing and the dialogue alone, it would be more believable if all the characters were robots.

I'm just not too keen when babies are involved in these type of films.

I agree it wasn't the greatest. I said I liked it, didn't love it. I'm not too hard on movies and try to overlook some of the flaws. Found this movie enjoyable. Definitely not Liam's best, but he did okay with what he had to work with. The Taken movies were good IMO, but were not without their flaws.

Do you mean Liam Neeson? He was born in 1952 and is 68.

Based on a novel by Michael Connelly, I liked it.

You know, I'm not really sure what it's supposed to be, but I'm not an expert on accents. Maybe some else will see this and chime in on what they think.

Sorry, Rick, I misunderstood you. I thought you meant if he put on a particular accent in the movie Dazed and Confused. I knew he was from Texas.

Looks like you're right.

The summer of 1993: there's a new movie out called Dazed and Confused. But Hollywood doesn't have high hopes. It's a time capsule of a small Texas town, in the summer of 1976, set on the last day of school.
