Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Brawl in Cell Block 99 (Vince Vaughn) was interesting. If you liked Shot Caller check it out on Amazon (some of the bashed in prosthetics heads could have used some work though lol).

I thought it was a misfire - though did do some interesting things. I highly recommend the director's other feature (at least the one I saw) 'Bone Tomahawk.' A lot of great thing about that movie but my favorite is the absolutely incredible performance of the 'town drunk' character. He took a normal western throwaway role and made it the core of the movie.

Went and saw 12 Strong earlier today. In my opinion, it was really good.

At least stop doing movies that involve firearms, given his views on private ownership.

That's disappointing to read. By default I just assume that most actors/entertainers differ from me on social issues, but I did some Googling and agree that it is pretty fucked up for a man who has made his living off of violent movies, then mocks the very same men (mostly) who give their money to watch his movies.

Godfather Trilogy is now playing on NetFlix....that is all.

'The Godfather' trilogy is coming to Netflix

Going to try to see 12 Strong this weekend. Reviews are not real positive so far, but I take reviews with a grain of salt. Anybody seen it yet?

Anybody seen it yet?

No, but I just went and did a quick Google. If NBC hate's it for the reason they state, I'll probably love it.

The new war film is colonialism masquerading as unabashed propaganda.

and is the author of the book "Wonder Woman: Bondage and Feminism

Huh. He had me at bondage and lost me at feminism. I'm sure he's a load of fun at parties.

This guy probably had his review written before he even watched the movie

HH6 and I just got back in from watching 12 strong, we both enjoyed it.
Yeah, some timeline mistakes, but overall a good movie.
We will probably add it to our DVD collection when it is available.

Finally have a free, long weekend. Planning to see as many of the Oscar bait movies playing around here as I can. “Shape of water” and “the Post” today and “phantom thread” tomorrow. If anyone hasn’t seen “Three Billboards” you need to fix yourself.

My dad will still buy VHS tapes from garage sales/thrift stores. Drives my mom insane. Lol.

I did as well up until recently. Unfortunately I have turned into such a high definition snob that I cannot bear to watch anything on standard definition, much less anything off of the VCR.

I still have a pretty big VHS collection, and I, like your dad, add to it with $1.00 purchases. My Blueray/VHS player sitll works great.

I still have my favorite, cheezy 80s/90s movies on VHS. Commando, Terminator I&II, Top Gun, Uncle Buck, Plains, Trains, and Automobiles, etc. They are always there if I cant find anything else to watch.
