Movies! The movie thread

After the disaster that was tenet, we rented Mr. Jones. Which was very average, until he switched trains in Ukraine. Very historically accurate, hair raising.

We watched an interesting flick last night called:
RUN HIDE FIGHT.

The Libertine · 01-24-2021, 03:20 PM

“The White Tiger” on Netflix. Started out strong, but last 30 minutes left me somewhat disappointed with the whole film. Still an interesting take on India’s “caste” system.

Just finished watching this with my wife. We literally looked at each other at the end like WTF.
Not that we didn't understand what the writerand director were trying to convey. But with sucha talented cast and genre of movie, it just fell flat.

Thanks for perspective on this one.

Agreed. Between this one and the Wonder Woman one that’s 2 strikes for new releases of movies on HBO Max for me.

TXSTYLE · 01-30-2021, 04:08 PM

I guess HBOMAX will have to change my mind with GODZILLA vs KONG

The Libertine · 01-30-2021, 05:08 PM

“King of Staten Island”! Best movie I watched in quite some time - highly recommended!

Watched over the weekend. Started out strong, meandered at times in the middle, but didn’t think it was all too bad? Definitely a “sleeper” and while not the best, was actually better than I thought it would be based on initial reviews.

ramman434 · 02-01-2021, 10:19 AM

My cousin just recommended The Little Things to me. Said he loved it...now I'm debating on if I should give it a go or not.

evil-G-nius · 02-01-2021, 03:41 PM

6 Underground & The Old Guard were two of my favorite action flix I watched last year. Not sure if they were mentioned in here but they were intense. Also really enjoyed 21 Bridges & Widows

Esteban · 02-01-2021, 04:12 PM

Seems like mixed opinions here re: the little things. Was looking forward to this coming to my "on demand." Like the actors, especially Denzel. Always enjoy his movies. It would probably cost $19.99 here and I'm trying to keep costs down so I may wait til it's cheaper, or even free.

BMW F22 · 02-01-2021, 04:25 PM

Little Things were just okay IMO. The actors carried the movie. If you have nothing else to watch then give it a try but you won’t miss anything if you don’t watch it.

It is a movie with a plot that plods along. Not a riveting thriller, and not the best directed film either, but is an okay watch if looking to fill a couple of hours.

NYBulldog · 02-01-2021, 04:53 PM

The Little Things is good. The acting is great. The end and the build up doesn’t take you where you are accustomed to. So I completely understand a low review.

ptper · 02-01-2021, 05:01 PM

re: little things...i was expecting a severed head in a box...there was no severed head in a box, so i only gave it 2.5 stars and bc the cast included three academy award winners who carried the movie (as others have said).

I have heard it compared to Se7en.

"What's in the box?"

The Nice Guys with Crowe and Gosling.
