That was a good movie. I knew nothing about it when i first watched it.
Since we are showing some older movies.
Gone Baby Gone was a good movie. I'm not a fan of Affleck so I didnt care at first but half way through I was hooked.
Running Scared, (not the Gregory Hines one) This movie caught me off guard. This movie is all over the place, and if you blink to much you will be lots but it all connects. There will be a few wait, what. Hold up, what the, yo did they really. I had my office watch it, they came in after the weekend shaking their heads, we will talk at lunch time. Crazy ride.

Yeah - it's a very good movie. Watched it on dvd years back, and bought the dvd at Goodwill for a $1 or 2 after the fact. That opening scene really sets the tone for the whole flick ...

The assignment(Netflix)
Saw this last night, and I thought this was good. There is a twist that happens a quarter way into the movie. That is fuck up, but it make sense for the plot of the movie. And I would recommend this movie.
Advantageous(Netflix)
This movie is not as good as the trailer makes it out to be. I would only recommend this, if you only want to view something to past some time.
.68 kill(Netflix)
This crazy ass shit was all over the place, but in a good way. I would recommend this movie.

Checked out Waves a few days ago & really enjoyed it. Plenty of visually stunning shots the way it's filmed. Especially with all the outdoor lighting.

Waves movie review & film summary (2019) | Roger Ebert
This is a deeper and more profound film than your average character drama, a masterpiece that’s hard to walk away from without checking your own grievances and grief.

On the level of Surviving the Game or The Most Dangerous Game......not really
PRAISE: Labeled as just a movie in which liberal elites hunted down and killed Republicans the film received a lot of backlash at screenings even the Prez weighed in and this sat on a shelf for a year.
Worth the wait?......Betty Gilpin is great as a hunted or is she hunting?...military veteran laser focused on whatever route she's going down.Hilary Swank was also good as a corporate shark.
There's a who's who of celebrities who couple themselves with good kills and some unique fights.
The absolute SATIRE worked for me most of the time
PROBLEMS:I was never fully engaged.Even when i was having fun with it something just said to me:wow i dont really care about any of these characters...but was that the point...to show we take the good and the bad and we are all a mixture of both?
not sure...but just a forgettable but fun romp
Scale of 1-10 a 6......i enjoyed Hard Target MORE than this.......LOL
Thanks for the reviews, Havel & JBlaze.
He never died(Netflix)
Saw this last night, and I thought this was great. I remember trying to watch this awhile ago and stopping it, but im glad that I took the time to watch this.

Just watched the movie Uncorked on Netflix last night it was pretty good. Especially since I’ve been trying to learn more about wine and expand my wine drinking palate.
I saw that aswell it was a good change of genre.

It was either fate or Jehovah God that kept me away from this movie for a long time !!
PRAISE: A handful of funny and charming moments.
PROBLEMS: I have never seen a group of actors with less chemistry.Horrible acting.Painfully unfunny,grating and obnoxious moments coupled with horrible dialogue,stiff moments and ear drum piercing singing.
Scale of 1-10 a 2

Showtime, for example, is currently offering an extended one-month free trial before its $10.99/month subscription fee.
Apple TV Channels are available through the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Macs, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and select smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, and Vizio.
Saw this documentary yesterday. It was on one of those movie channel free previews, so been scanning ahead on the menu guide (they have 3 - 4 different channels) & DVR'ing stuff here and there in the week ahead. If you liked the original Super Size Me doc', you'll dig this one too. Interesting watching Spurlock explain the "Big Chicken" comparisons to Big Pharma. The branding / rebranding tactics ... farmers explaining their battles, etc. Found the advertising / marketing portion interesting too, as those 2 guys broke it down quite well.

Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! is a 2017 American documentary film directed by Morgan Spurlock. A sequel to the 2004 film Super Size Me, it explores the ways in which the fast food industry has rebranded itself as healthier since his original film through the process of Spurlock working to open his own fast-food restaurant, thus exposing some of the ways in which that rebranding is more perception than reality.[2]
At the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, where it premiered on September 8, 2017, the film was second runner-up for the People's Choice Award for Documentaries.[3][2] Following its premiere, YouTube announced they had purchased distribution rights to the film to stream on YouTube Red for $3.5 million.[4] In December 2017, YouTube Red temporarily dropped the film after Spurlock admitted to previous instances of sexual misconduct and harassment.[5] The production company Warrior Poets also announced that the film was being pulled from the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.[5] Samuel Goldwyn Films released the film in theaters on September 6, 2019, and released it on VOD a week later.[1] It would also later be restored on YouTube as part of the new YouTube Movies service along with its predecessor under the "Free To Watch" category.

Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! movie review (2019) | Roger Ebert
He has some very good ideas at play here, but they’re presented in a lackluster fashion that kept sending my mind to other places where his material had been done before and better.

Super Size Me 2 isn’t much better for you than the chicken sandwiches it condemns
Have you heard the good word about Popeyes’ chicken sandwich, the king of fried fowl on bread? Over this past few weeks, Popeyes-sandwich-mania seemed ubiquitous, becoming the great escapist concern of our otherwise depressing media cycle. It was tested, think-pieced, tweeted about, and praised...

I saw this last night and this a good Sci-fi movie. The only critique i would give this movie is that after the climax of the story. The movie just ends, just like another Netflix movie How it ends.
