First movie to give me motion sickness, mentioned before, but outstanding tension for not showing anything. ;) I since grew to detest documentary style story telling, especially, if not a stabilized camera. Even so generally speaking it’s the weakest method of telling a story, due to its restrictions.

Operation Petticoat (1959)- Loved this as a kid, watched it this afternoon, and the image on our large screen TV was horrid. It’s possible they are streaming a VHS version, definitely not remastered. :( WWII story semi-comedic about the adventures of sub crew and a pink submarine, well before The Beatles Yellow Submarine. :)

Our TV upscales natively and generally does a good job. Watch a lot of Film Noir on it, gets the job done. Just watched the tense and never aging Torpedo Run (1958)

Hell of a watch that still stands up in 2024.

I watched IF last night, it’s alright, bit predictable and I felt the girl playing the lead role was over acting somewhat. It’s hilarious watching Reynolds in this film after seeing him in Deadpool and Wolverine though 🤣🤣

Do I or do I not go and see Gladiator 2, that is the question? Budget l see is $250 Million. Currently doing $153 Million gross at the box office as of today. Waiting for the 4K version could be epic.

In the meantime I will settle for watching Smile 2.

Reason for watching it -- doesn't have Maximus Flatulus in it.
Reason for not watching it -- has anachronisms in it like somebody reading a newspaper 1200 years before they existed...
 
I kept coming acroas this movie in a forum I read so I thought I'd watch it: "American Psycho."
😒
I know it was supposed to be satirical (Something I normally appreciate) but...WTH? I didn't get what all the fuss was about. In fact, I just didn't GET IT. I read that it was a real horror movie...it was not. A dark comedy? I didn't find anything funny about it, dark or not. The only thing for sure that I can say about this movie is that it was a waste of four bucks and 90 minutes.

My girlfriend and I saw this in the theatre when it came out and when it was over we both looked at each other and said "WHAT?" "Where was the scary part?" One of the worst movies I've ever seen. (I promise, I'm not always this negative considering this review and the one before it.) :)

I've never seen it but I do believe it is truly one of those "love it or hate it" films.

I don't recall ever seeing it was "okay", or a "I kinda like it" reviews. lol

Yes, agree 100% with you on that; we saw it yesterday. I'd seen the musical years ago in DC and I was really impressed with the overall story (Dee Roscioli was AMAZING as Elphaba). I cant wait for part 2.

The play has been in the same theatre near Victoria Station in London for many years. I have not seen it as I do not enjoy musicals. I have seen some lukewarm reviews for the film but opinions are personal. For those who enjoy that genre enjoy!

I am by no means a fan of musicals, and if it hadnt been for my daughter wanting to see it I wouldnt have gone to see the play. Generally, song and dance in film is not my cup of tea, but I just really liked Wicked.

I watched Edge of Tomorrow last night.

An entertaining movie overall. Suspend belief and it's all good fun. How does a guy watch his comrades get slaughtered hundreds of times and not develop PTSD?o_O Shutdown the analytical part of your brain and enjoy.:) The only thing I didn't like was the final loop at the end. Killing the Omega altered events prior to Maj. Cage getting Groundhog's Day powers.🤔🧐

The only plot hole I can't forgive even though I love this film.

What will really confuse you is the fact they are making a sequel…. Think about how that one will work lol 😂

I thought the movie was lackluster and not good. The book on the other hand (yes I know, someone mentioning the book) is down right disturbing and haunting to say the least. You get a small, I mean very small taste of the characters mentality in the movie. In the book, it sooooooo much more and so much more disturbing. The graphic detail and the thoughts that follow said incidents is what makes this book good. It isn't great... it is good.

Love, love this movie. Plot holes and all. So much so, that I picked up the Manga that this movie is based off of. Can't wait to dive in. But the movie... love it!!!
