Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Been on a horror kick lately. Rewatched The Ninth Gate tonight for the first time since that was in the theaters. I finally caught on to the ending this go around. Only took like 25 years. Still just a meh movie.

And I watched Prey for the Devil last night. Hopefully there’s a sequel.

Also if you haven’t watched it yet, Nobody is on Netflix and a good watch.
 
I finally got around to watching Top Gun: Maverick. Very solid film, nice tie-ins with the first one, and Jennifer Connelly is still a smoke show. There were some goofy parts, a little cringe here and there, but...it is Top Gun. The Hangman character wasn't even a Great Value Iceman, I don't know who thought that was a good idea.

Speaking of Iceman, I thought they way they handled his character was very tasteful. The flying scenes were first rate.

8 out of 10 silver Porsches.
 
Rebel Ridge on Netflix is a good action movie. (If you seen Hold the Dark or Green Room, it's the same director.)

Former MCMAP instructor tries to bail his cousin out of a small town jail but gets his money seized in civil asset forfeiture. Queue plot of uncovering small town corruption.
Feels like a mix of Rambo and Walk Tall.

Might be the first movie to use Wikipedia to set up an action sequence.

 
I'm not sure about this one. Ana de Armas makes me hard but I'm really getting tired of forcing female leads to take over solid franchises. I'm sure it'll be a great movie...


Word on the street is it's supposed to fall somewhere between JW3 and JW4....like a John Wick 3.5 so to speak!

:thumbsup:

JW4 ending is left ambiguous, with John presumed — but not confirmed — dead, with a post-credits scene teasing a confrontation between Caine and Akira (Rina Sawayama). She attacks him with a knife after Caine earlier in the movie killed her father, Shimazu Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada) while sparing her.


The additional scene could be a teaser for a John Wick spinoff movie about Yen’s Caine assassin character, which is in the works at Lionsgate. The studio also has upcoming spinoff film Ballerina starring Ana de Armas, which takes place between the third and fourth John Wick movie
