Close, but what I said was "like an advanced Chucky but female."

Should be a fun watch.

The Pale Blue Eye, go watch it, the lead actors were especially good.

Esteban · 01-14-2023, 06:58 PM

Looks good to me, tranquility. I like most movies with Christian Bale.

Will watch it when it comes to me.

I have it in my list. Just not sure if it will put me to sleep?

Well...you seem to get excited about a lot of things, so I'm sure this will be fine.

Srsly, I thought that it was pretty good, it rolls along w/o any filler scenes that I can recall.

Some late night Hammer horror.

Really enjoyed this.
Fun satire.

Watched M3GAN tonight with the lady friend. We both liked it. Didn’t know what to expect going in but pleasantly surprised at how well made the movie was. It had good acting, storyline, comedy, and action. I didn’t care for Ronny Chieng. Never found him to be funny as a comedian and didn’t care for him in the movie.

Conissah · 01-17-2023, 01:10 AM

Glass Onion, it was really interesting. Has Daniel Craig in it, part of the "Knives Out" series.

Watched Smile. Pretty good psychological horror. Ending was trippy.

BMW F22 · 01-17-2023, 11:09 PM

Watched “Wild Cat” on Prime. It’s very heartwarming but also sad. It’s crazy how us humans do so much harm to the environment. Major props to those who fight to preserve it and our animals.

That's the series, right? I love big cats. All cats, actually. Don't know if I could watch that.

I always (half-jokingly?) say that Agent Smith was right: we are a freaking virus.

It was a documentary. 100 minutes or so.

We really are.

Watching Jurassic World Dominion. Not loving it so far. Maybe I gotta give it some more time. Too many damn dinosaurs.

TXSTYLE · 01-20-2023, 09:10 PM

Acting from Alexander Skarsgard, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicole Kidman was also of course fantastic. Definitely not a movie for everyone, but was pretty good in my opinion.

Had high hopes for this movie. It was ultra boring and the series Viking Valhalla blows it away!

It is truly a wonderful world in which we live, I thought it was absolute shite!

The Minister of War & Finance and I rewatched "Ford v. Ferrari" last night in 4k on the "big" tv w/ 5.1 sound.

The movie just gets better and better rewatching it.

I dunno if we can be friends anymore

Maybe it's the phenomenon of being stuck on a plane so the movie seems much better? I dunno haha.

Haha, it's all good, different strokes.

He made those other 2? I liked The Witch but not the latter. Ya, he definitely has his own unique style, that's for sure.

Many ppl love David Lynch but I tried to watch Twin Peaks countless times and just couldn't get into it.
