I dunno, I thought it was a nice change and there are clueless ppl like that...well, not to the tape-measuring scene extent haha but to his behavior re his colleague and how he 'explained' to his boy.

Powers Boothe was in Frailty, but not in Identity, so maybe Frailty is the movie you're thinking of.

I really liked Barbarian. Agree it had some "rough edges" but sometimes you need to overlook that if you can. Many movies do imo.

I thought the scene about 'the father' was really good. The way the camera was right behind him all the time made me feel like you were there with him. Also, that scene was a very creepy and effective way to show his history and how 'the mother' came to be. Another thing about that scene was how the neighborhood originally looked vs how it looked now. It added atmosphere imo.

I agree, I liked the father scene, I just feel like we could have gotten more story or history with him.

Watched “Violent Night” today. A very enjoyable movie that mixes Christmas theme with action. It’s like Die Hard meets Hallmark and Home Alone.

This is one of the only horror movie that actually gets to me and me the mrs both love horror movies. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, because I can imagine some weird stuff happening in the middle of nowhere Texas. I know in SE Oklahoma, there are parts of the that region where you may get buried by someone with a badge.

Because this is something that could actually happen. As much as I love Halloween and Halloween II, that kind of stuff isn't real life.

It's "inspired" by a few.

Don't think I've seen this, Rick. Will have to give it a try.

Loved the original Magnificent Seven with Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen.
