I watched Equalizer 3 on Labor Day and it was good, I was entertained. I'm an action movie fan, it did its job and was satisfying. On a side note, Italy looks beautiful, I'm going to visit other parts of the world but I'll have to add it to my list of future travel plans.
Strays it was so so bad. Will Ferrell was not funny AT ALL. I don’t even know if he really made any jokes. There were a lot of penis and humping jokes. Homeward Bound is a better, more enjoyable watch even for adults.
Ferrell hasn't done anything really funny in quite some time, he seemed to slip when him and Mckay broke it off. His schtick in Barbie was not good, its time for him to do something to revive himself, kind of like what Sandler is doing
No one will save you. 7/10. It's a good alien movie combination of Signs and a quiet place. These aliens don't play fair.
Hustle 8/10 - Serious Adam Sandler was surprisingly good. A little predictable but very good. Loved all the NBA cameos. This is the movie The Blind Side should have been.
I really enjoyed that movie and now that you mention it I think I'll watch it again sometime this week.
Gran Turismo I haven't cried this much during a movie, lol. When I walked into the theater to watch "Gran Turismo," I expected it to be all about fast cars and the video game, but it immediately delved into so much more. This film explores themes of intrinsic motivation, family dynamics, tragedy to triumph, and even sprinkles in a touch of romance. I've been a Djimon Hounsou fan for a while, so I'm always eager to watch anything he's in, and once again, he delivers a powerful performance. Hounsou portrays the well-intentioned, overprotective father who has been hit hard by reality and keeps trying to ground his seemingly delusional son. When he finally has his emotionally charged scene, I found myself sobbing. His portrayal of a father's love and concern is incredibly moving. In every role he takes on, David Harbour leaves a lasting impression, and "Gran Turismo" is a testament to his incredible talent. His ability to make a character his own while staying true to the essence of the story is a testament to his skill as an actor. Harbour's presence in the film elevates it to a whole new level, and his portrayal is a standout aspect of this exceptional movie. Orlando Bloom's presence in the movie was a pleasant surprise, and his role was skillfully integrated into the story. Although I initially thought his peculiar expressions and moments of seeming lost were meant to convey a driver recovering from a crash, the film never explicitly mentions it. However, Bloom's performance doesn't come on too strong, and he has some standout moments that add depth to the narrative. Archie Madekwe is a revelation in this film, showcasing a remarkable range of emotions throughout the two-hour-plus runtime. His performance is nothing short of outstanding, and he adds depth to the character dynamics. Beyond the emotional aspects, "Gran Turismo" excels in its pacing and cinematography. Neill Blomkamp's direction and Jacques Jouffret's cinematography work in perfect harmony to deliver a film that not only engages on an emotional level but also visually dazzles. Blomkamp's pacing is impeccable, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats throughout the movie. Blomkamp's skillful storytelling and ability to draw out authentic performances from the cast elevate the narrative, creating a profound emotional impact. Jouffret's cinematography takes the audience into the heart of the action. The race scenes are a visual feast, characterized by their vibrant and pulse-pounding energy. Jouffret's keen eye for capturing the adrenaline-fueled world of motorsports adds depth and excitement to the film, making it an immersive experience. The fact that the whole thing is a true story is ****ing insane! The realization that the events depicted in the film actually happened adds an extra layer of intensity and emotion to the viewing experience. The journey from tragedy to triumph becomes even more remarkable when you know it's based on real-life events. TL;DR "Gran Turismo" is a must-watch. It's a heartfelt exploration of family, determination, and the human spirit, complemented by stellar performances from Djimon Hounsou, David Harbour, Orlando Bloom, and Archie Madekwe. The movie's excellent pacing, cinematography, and the fact that it's a ****ing true story about gamer turned race car driver Jann Mardenborough make it an unforgettable cinematic experience that will have you reaching for the tissues. 8.7/10
9/10.This docu was great. Shawn was one of my favorite wrestlers, can't believe the pain and problems he had. Did Vince not offer medical insurance for hurt wrestlers?
Damsel (2024): B- Caves and a Dragon. Was fine for what it was. Baby Driver (2017): A- I'm late to this but finally caught it on Netflix. Lot of music in this. But highlight is the heist, stylistic cinematography and good car stunt driving.
I watched "Night Swim" on Peacock. Something about a haunted swimming pool. Nothing groundbreaking and slow moving but kind of fun. I won't be swimming in my pool anytime soon...not because of the film but because my pool sucks. 6/10
Anyone who has seen Civil War or Kung Fu Panda 4? Want to go to the movies, already saw Dune 2 and not interested in Ghost Busters, so these 2 are my only options.
