2019 Thread Here

 

Just finished watching Doom: Annihilation

 

Wasn't a bad movie ... it didn't *have* to be a "Doom" movie ... but it really wasn't that bad.

Picked up an 82" Samsung QN82Q80R during the holidays, and just finished watching this about an hour ago in 4K Ultra HD. Fantastic television, and fantastic movie.

Finally got around to watching the Irishman.   Top quality film if not a little bit longer than it should've been IMO.

Just watched Doctor Sleep, very good movie, 9?10 for me.

Midway 2019, I'm a sucker for these based on true story WWII flicks, they get me every time.  And while everyone knows about Pearl Harbor I think very few remember how important the battle of Midway was.  9/10.

The Manchurian Candidate - not a film I've watched for many years, however still very enjoyable. Denzel is in some great films.

Same here. Watched it a couple nights ago. Not much of a tv/movie watcher, but was a pretty good movie. Night before, I watched The Dirt. The movie about Motley Crue. Couldn't get into that dude playing Vince Neil though.

Parasite - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6751668/

Really enjoyed it.  Nicely filmed, well acted and a story that felt new to me.

I find that of all Scorcese's films - there feels like a lot that could be trimmed in the later acts.

Ready or Not - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7798634/

 

Surprisingly a fun watch (fell off a little during the third act).  I recommend it though.

Knives Out, 8/10 from me, it could've been a bit higher with some minor tweaks but still very good movie.

Contagion - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/

 

...because why not.

It's kind of funny how everyone remembered that movie now because of the virus.

 

As for me, I watched the new Sonic movie, again, just to kill some time.  5/10 IMO.

Now that it's hit streaming early I just watched Star Wars : TROS.  Yeah, *sigh*, 5/10.   The pace is just a mess, it's one action set piece to the next.  The film doesn't take a minute to breath or develop, you just get tossed into events like you're watching it at 5x speed or something.   Jokes are bad, they didn't land for me at all.  There were 2 good emotional moments but that's it.  Such a poor ending to this saga.

Terminator: Dark Fate. 4/10 Better then the last few but still bad.

 

Yesterday. 8/10 Fun movie, good music obviously.. Danny Boyle knows how to make 'em.

Sonic the Hedgehog

 

Maybe it was my excessively low expectations going in, but I thought it pretty good. 

[Peresvet]

Green Book

 

It's up there with the Intouchables.

Bloodshot,  5/10.

Did you like Riddick movie series or XxX with Vin?

Because I had high hopes for this one because of them ...

 

I am looking to watch Gentlemen and Bloodshot over the weekend. 

 

I know Gentlemen will be good.

Bloodshot should be simple fun because of Vin badassery (I hope)

The xXx series, not really, cheap popcorn flicks.  I'm more of a fan of the Riddick series and have been waiting for a new movie for ever.  Instead we get these other little popcorn flicks.  Bloodshot is xXx level IMO. 

[PGHammer]

I'm getting ready to watch Air Force One again (I've seen it before); yes - the one with Harrison Ford's second most famous movie line. ("Get off my plane!")

The how, however, is different - Sling TV's two week free trial.

Bad boys for life, 7/10. If you liked the first two then you will enjoy this one.

The Death of Stalin  - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4686844/

(streaming on Netflix)

 

7/10 - Funny movie ... fell a little off during the 3rd act but still an entertaining watch.  Steve Buscemi gave a pretty good performance.

Mortal Kombat Legends Scorpions Revenge - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9580138/

 

I give it 7.5/10 because I was a huge Mortal Kombat fan growing up and enjoyed the lore. I am hoping more of these come out.
