I didn't see much in the trailer that would make me want to put down any money to see it. I'll wait for Netflix or whoever to stream it. Why does DC miss the mark so often?

This looks interesting, I do like a good spy thriller.

That's what I'm talking about! Always down for some "Spy & Espionage".

This looks extremely interesting. And I appreciate them not revealing the antagonist or creature or whatever it is... Big fan of Jordan.

That's what I was thinking, too bad for him, it was a decent and enjoyable flick imo even though there were obviously some plotholes.

But massive, lazy errors?

Those sort of piss me off.

(As in using shots from two completely different airplanes that aren't remotely the same size or putting in features on aircraft that literally don't exist.)

That's just lazy. If you want to do "X", then use an airplane where you an go "Oh, ok— that's a bit of a reach, but I'll go with it".

Using a short-haul aircraft (hey— they're cheaper to digitally repaint), but then showing features that could only *possibly* be in a wide-body just comes across to me as "the audience is stupid, so why bother".

Just too much hand-waving. Yes, it's escapist fantasy, but at least stay sort of within the stadium.

I guess it's like watching a neurosurgeon do surgery with a spoon and a paperclip, or a family-practice doctor doing a heart-valve replacement as well as a cardio-thoracic surgeon (yes, they're both doctors, but is either condition *really* believable?)

Or, (since this *is* a M2 forum..... the script writer needs the M2 to have four doors and a V-8. Nope. Wrong. Not even close— go use a different car if that's your requirement.

Probably not explaining things properly.

On the plus side— Jason Bateman cast as the Bad Guy was kind of fun to watch.

R.

You didn't like when at the 1:37:10 mark the plane threw itself in reverse gear and backed itself up from the gate? I thought that was clever.

I pointed this out to my adult daughter who was watching the movie with my wife and I, and she asked, "Was that the first unbelievable scene you noticed?".

Finished watching Smile 2 the other day. Sorry to be late to the party. Does have some good bits. Don’t like the music video scenes. Lots of jump scare tactics. First made me think of Lady Gaga, then it’s more like Britney having a meltdown. Then it’s like a smile music video, but without the music. And a little excorcist thrown in for good measure. Was good but the first one was better imo.

Seen "Juror #2" of Clint Eastwood last night.

Interesting plot approach is the fact that you're shown fairly quickly what has truly happened and that you can follow, as a fly on the wall, whether everyone involved manages to get closer to, or further from, the truth because of case-related or personal reasons.

I just back from seeing the biopic on Bob Dylan called "A Complete Unknown". I thought it was really well done.

Watching Yates's Bullitt again and sure the car chase being one of the best but the general plot may be a little confusing for some (including me at first) centering on bent politician Chalmers asking Bullitt to protect a government witness who is of course taken out by two hit men at a secret location, but how they knew where he (door safety chain being unlocked) was gets interesting so including a review.

Now got myself into thinking what is the best car chase of all and another Yates' flick just a year previously to Bullitt comes to mind from the film Robbery with the crims favourite wheels at that time being those Jaguar saloons, Mk2's and ropey handling S-types. More to follow later and why not post your own ones too..

Sat through Krampus .. bleh, just terrible.

Just finished A Quiet Place: Day One. Thought it was sad. Lupita Nyong’o was great. I loved the two cats that played Frodo; Schnitzel and Nico.

[TXSTYLE]

This was good. Nice LOLs!

Catching up on all the classics (surprise surprise)
Frankenheimer's fact based The Train is the latest one, here Labiche is thwarting nazi Von Waldheim's efforts from thieving France's famous paintings.

I’ve watched Midnight Run several times in the past and just re-watched it during the Christmas holiday season. I like Robert De Niro’s style, especially how he expresses his anger with the F-word. The sad part was when he met his daughter.

[paprmkr]

watched this Thursday I like it.

Airport '77

Watched the Wicked movie last night. I'm at a loss for why it's so highly rated. It wasn't "bad", but not anywhere near as good as the hype. What am I missing? I found it sort of boring, the songs not very catchy, and the directing just too messy and cluttered in its delivery. the performances of the 2 main characters was pretty good, but nothing earth shattering.
