Flight from Germany to Detroit yesterday September 16, watched 3 movies
1st - Mollys Game, 2017 release, never saw it. Wow, captivated me the whole time, 8/10 for me
Via IMDB
“Molly Bloom, a beautiful young Olympic-class skier, ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans, and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe.”
2nd - Drop Dead Gorgeous , 1999
Meh.. 6 of 10, as a time waster sure, but I’d not pay even $3 usd to watch it
Via IMDB
“In a small Minnesota town, the annual beauty pageant is being covered by a TV crew. Former winner Gladys Leeman wants to make sure her daughter follows in her footsteps. Explosions, falling lights, and trailer fires prove that. As the Leemans are the richest family in town the police are pretty relaxed about it all. Despite everything, main rival (but nice) Amber Atkins won't be stopped. There could well be more death and disappointment to come
3rd - Re-watched the Social Network, 2010, have not seen it in over 10 years
Wow, still holds its own as a movie, 8/10 with rewatching every few years, just to compare where social networks were / are / going.

“On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.”

I'm sorry you had to fly to Detroit...
But you got to see some good films on the way.
Gray Man (2022)- Great over the top action. ☺️ I love Ryan Gosling in this, not used to seeing Chis Evans as the baddie.
I have watched this a couple of times, and have since read all thirteen (currently) volumes of the Grey Man book series...
Rewatched this:
So that I could watch this:
Plot was a little crowded, but had a great time.

Vampyres (1974)
Two women who were transformed into vampires, now reside in a stately mansion in the English countryside. They hunt together, sleep together and do their best to remain hidden. During a rash of suspicious killings their cover is threatened.

Q-6
The beginning is nice
Short Time with Dabney Coleman and Teri Garr - Action Comedy (with a nice chase scene)
Heard about this movie and waited for the longest time to see this 'cause it was never released in Region 1 on DVD, perhaps due to Music rights, as there is a scene in it where the radio is on and starts paying a song, and there is no audio at all till it's over, and also there is no music over the closing credits.
Dabney is a good cop who only has 8 days before he retires (short time, a cop's term).
He takes a physical and his blood sample gets switched and thinks he has an incurable disease with also only a short time to live.
He's always been anxious to provide his young son with enough money for a college education.
His insurance won't cover that, but dying in the line of duty will....
Full free movie and a decent download:

Possession (1981)
Possession's a fever dream, that descends into surrealism, touches on cosmic horror & sheer madness. A film that's most definitely not for the masses. Those that get the film will struggle vocalise as Possession is more the experience and a shock to the senses than the run of the mill supernatural horror film. Tremendous direction & performance's, wrapped in multiple layers of fear, disbelief, insanity & phycological violence...

Saw the musical “Betelgeuse Betelgeuse” 1.5 years ago, loved it. Gonna see B2 this Saturday.
That looks delicious!Saw the musical “Betelgeuse Betelgeuse” 1.5 years ago, loved it. Gonna see B2 this Saturday.
Well we’re going back to the opera house to see Moulin Rouge on October 5th, might eat there again ..
King Kong (1933)
Better than many of the endless remakes. King Kong perfectly captures the essence of high adventure combined with genuine charm. Must have been absolutely mind blowing in the day to watch on the big screen. There was just nothing else like it in 1933, still well worth the watch over 90 years on...

Quite a technical achievement for its time. There was a follow on Kong movie I liked that had the bug scene where a crew member is consumed by slugs which somehow bothered me more than seeing humans ripped apart in other monster movies. 😳
I remember really liking this movie as a young adult.The beginning is nice
Whiplash. First I dislike jazz and secondly I’m not a drum fan. But otherwise, while a bit slow it was a good show. I give it a 7.5.
Watched Point break last night, the perfect Sunday night movie!!
Island of Lost Souls (1932)
Another classic that's a must watch While H.G. Wells tale has been remade numerous times over the years, my favourite while flawed version is The Island of Dr. Moreau (1996).
Somewhat spoilt by petulant actors who should have been sent home. All the same I still like this version the most...
