Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

I gotta natural aversion to Nick Cage movies as a general rule. I also--at least in recent years--try to avoid Samuel L. Jackson, George Clooney, Matt Damon, John Goodman, Ben Affleck, Sean fucking Penn, Meryl Streep, Robert Redford, Hanoi Jane, Bendadick Cumabatch, any movie where James Franco is trying to be serious, Morgan Freeman, Robert DeNiro, Sylvester Stallone, Whoopie Goldberg and I'm on the fence with Tom Cruise.

All IMO either waay over exposed or has-beens or too freaking political.

So what you're really saying is, you don't watch a lot of movies. 😀
 
Anya Taylor-Joy...had never heard of her, but now I'm in love.

That aside, The Northman was fantastic. It was visually stunning, aside from some of the darker scenes, but that could be the projector since everyone seems to be digital nowadays. Kidman's performance was masterful.

I don't want to spoil it, so I can't speak of the film much, just that it didn't disappoint. Plenty of blood and gore as well as some interludes with the Seer.

Oh, you better like Alexander Skarsgård, this is his film. He is truly the Viking Berserker you imagine.

Worth seeing indeed.

Just got done seeing The Northman in theaters and I absolutely second @Kaldak 's take. One of the best theater viewing experiences I've had in a good long while. Fantastic visuals, plenty of gore and fighting, and a mostly decent storyline too. Highly recommend you see it in a theater, the sound adds so much to the atmosphere.
 
I've never heard of this one! It looks fun. I like Tom Holland, I'm working on a show he's starring in. Everyone is saying what a sweetheart he is.
It was the first movie, since I don't know...maybe ever, that I not only fell asleep during the first 30 minutes (granted I was feeling well) but had zero desire to go back and finish. The story and chemistry between Marky Mark and Holland just didn't work for me for whatever reason.
 
I saw two movies in the theater recently. Both were unexpectedly pretty good.

1. The Outfit - really had no expectations going in, so it made this one easy to like. No one really notable in it (main character played the father on the civilian boat in "Dunkirk" - good actor). I'd call it a gangster film but the concept is different - literally everything on screen takes place inside a tailor shop. Done very well for what it is. Recommend 👍

2. Father Stu - again, wasn't sure what to think of this one going in, so I kept expectations pretty low. Marky Mark isn't really my favorite actor but he can be entertaining in a fairly narrow role. This one was outside his typical range but it worked. It won't win any Oscars but I enjoyed the film for what it was. Also, recommend 👍

Neither are necessarily really rush out to see in the theater but both are worth seeing. I think I also just enjoyed watching a movie somewhere other than my couch for a bit.
