A Ghost Story (2017)

Starring Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara, the film follows the ghost of a recently deceased man. It's a really artsy film. I can't honestly say I fully understand what the film was about, but I doubt I'll ever forget it. It was very interesting. I might even watch it again to see if I can pick out the themes mentioned in its respective reviews and write-ups.

Followed a few previews for this and it reads confusing to say the least.

Is it worth the time investment?

 

I think so. It's only an hour and thirty minutes, so it's not that big of an investment. I doubt you've ever seen a film like it. I'm gonna watch it again.

No Chevy Chase = No Vacation.

He made a cameo appearance but it was too little,too late to save this shitty movie

Been stuck watching season 2 of Stranger Things - good creepy show

[martinsane]

Binged on the Rob Lowe short lived comedy Grinder. Certainly worthy of a watch or two. Very funny.

 

Balls deep in binge watching season 2 of Aquarius. Which is excellent.

[CureTheSane]

Grinder was great.

I've recently picked up and watched the first seasons of Superstore and Wrecked
Also, the second and final season of Vice Principals is nearly done. Hilarious show.

Everything is out at the moment
Star Trek Discovery
The Orville
Curb Your Enthusiasm
The Good Place
The Walking Dead
Hell's Kitchen
The Goldbergs
Survivor
etc

"Furious 7" (2015)

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and the rest of the street racing crew are off on another globe trotting adventure where they're targeted by a British bad guy (Jason Statham) with a personal vendetta against them. As usual, many cars are crashed, bullets fly, and lotsa stuff blows up. 

Sadly, this seventh "Fast & Furious" installment was also the final one for Walker, who died during filming.  I've only seen one other "F&F" movie besides this (and I'm not even sure which one it was!), but I dug this flick anyway, it's big, loud, dumb, destructive fun.

24 Hours To Live.

Comparisons to John Wick got me excited, only to be let down by a very B grade revenge flick.
Pretty messy with no real flow.
Was OK to watch once.

"Get Out" (2017)

An African-American man and his white girlfriend head out to the country to spend a weekend at her parents' estate. Though he's already expecting an awkward, "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" type scenario, our hero soon learns that there's something even more sinister going on behind the scenes of the ol' homestead... 
This horror/suspense thriller was a massive box office hit earlier this year and I can see why. This one sucks you right in and keeps up a feeling of dread throughout. Good stuff. 

[CureTheSane]

Yeah, Get Out was great. Way better than I thought.

Tonight I saw Tears Of The Sun for the first time in probably 10 years

Held up well.

[martinsane]

Yes indeed Get Out was tasty, well done.

Rough Night = "rough watch". A few irreverent jokes that got a mildly amused chuckle but overall a real steamer and that SNL gal is annoying and her attempt at an Australian accent was so pathetic that it is shocking that it was done let alone put out for consumption.

Baby Cake$ = EXCELLENT! Straight Out Of Jersey! Well written and acted telling of a below the poverty line girl with all the stereotypical white trash mythos. Overweight, alcoholic wasteoid mom, no dad, chain smoking grandma all living off the peanuts that Patricia makes at odd jobs while she dreams of being a hip hop superstar. Enter her Indian (not native but the other) pharmacist best friend/cheerleader and the creepy goth vampire black kid who is the musician/sample guy that lives in a shack in the "gates of hell" and this is dramedy gold. Some will hate cause of the rap element but for those that lived a lower middle class life trying to get out will appreciate this. The mom is/was a "hard rock" singer/want to be as well which makes for some real uncomfortable comedy gold. Watch this immediately.

"On Her Majesty's Secret Service" (1969)

James Bond travels from the Riviera to the Swiss Alps, romances a countess and battles Blofeld's plot to commit worldwide germ warfare via a squadron of specially-trained ladies he calls his "Angels of Death." 
George Lazenby's first and only spin as the "new" 007 is a mixed bag; the action sequences are great and Diana Rigg is an appropriately foxy Bond girl, but the leading man's near-total lack of acting experience keeps it from making the leap into the top-tier Bond.
If Lazenby had stuck around he might have developed into a decent 007; unfortunately he followed the dubious advice of his manager, who told him the Bond character would be 'passe' in the 1970s so he turned down a multi-picture contract and went straight into the "Where Are They Now" file. Great career move there, George!

"The Lego Batman Movie" (2017)

Gotham City's greatest hero gets locked in Arkham Asylum, travels to the Phantom Zone, battles a whole mess o' super villains and monsters, and learns what it means to be part of a family in this loud, candy-colored, hyperactively-paced animated adventure from the makers of "The Lego Movie." The jokes come at rapid fire speed, the graphics are colorful and wacky, and there are lots of affectionate jabs at the Batman legend. This may be the weirdest Bat-adaptation I've ever seen but it was also a ton of fun!

Sex Tape. Funny stuff and Cameron Diaz has a retardedly sexy bod!

yeah I thought "Sex Tape" was pretty funny, just watched it a few days ago..

"Perfect Sense" - good drama/romance with Ewan McGregor and Eva Green.

"Diamonds Are Forever" (1971)

After the lukewarm reception to George Lazenby's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," Sean Connery returned to the James Bond role one "last" time. In this installment 007 investigates a diamond-smuggling ring that leads him from Amsterdam to Las Vegas, where Blofeld and SPECTRE are using the gems to create a deadly laser satellite weapon. 

I'm sure fans were glad to see Sean back in the tuxedo again at the time, but "Diamonds" is not top drawer Bond by any means - Connery's clearly only in it for the paycheck and the entire production seems campier than usual. This one might have worked better if it had starred Roger Moore.

[martinsane]

Dirty Girl = a pretty darn good slice of 80's Americana. Well acted dramedy set in our favorite era. Worth a watch.

[Fat Freddy]

"Lucy" (2014)

A woman (Scarlett Johansen) accidentally receives an overdose of a dangerous new synthetic drug, which gives her unexpected powers and abilities. Naturally, she uses this advantage to get even with the Asian mobsters who dosed her in the first place.
This weird mix of shoot-em-up action flick and metaphysical sci-fi from Luc "Fifth Element" Besson is not what I was expecting at all, but it turned out to be a cool watch.

[Fat Freddy]

"Trainwreck" (2015)

Stand-up comic Amy Schumer (more or less playing herself) makes her film debut as a drunken, bed hopping magazine reporter who finally lands in a "real" relationship with a nice guy (SNL's Bill Hader), then nearly blows her chance at happiness with her bad habits. Schumer's good for a few laughs, but this is basically a foul-mouthed Lifetime Movie. 

"Green Room" (2016)

A small time punk rock band lands a last minute gig at a sketchy club (run by even sketchier people) in the middle of nowhere...but when they witness something that they shouldn't have, they have to fight their way out. A claustrophobic thriller with a great performance by Sir Patrick Stewart (!) as the Big Bad.

[Fat Freddy]

"The Revenant" (2015)

A lone frontiersman (Leonardo DiCaprio) survives a grizzly bear attack, being left for dead in the wilderness, and brutal winter weather so he can make his way back to civilization and get revenge on the guy who killed his son. 
Westerns are usually not my meat at all but this one drew me right in. A beautifully filmed epic of survival (based on a true story!) that earned Leo a well deserved Oscar.

[martinsane]

That Green Room was tasty and discussed before. RIP Anton Yelchin.

 

Watched the latest War for the Planet of the Apes and it is the floater in the franchise thus far.

[Dead Planet]

Black Sabbath - The End Of The End 2017 - I was expecting Ozzy's voice to be shot but I was pleasantly surprised as he sounded quite good and the band overall was great...I would have liked to have been at the concert....

[Fat Freddy]

"Vampirella" (1996)

Roger Corman produced this direct-to-video cheapie based on the cult horror/sci-fi comic book heroine. "Ella," a sexy bloodsucker from a planet of vampires, comes to Earth in a skimpy outfit to hunt down the evil vamp who killed her stepfather. This campy nonsense suffers from a serious case of mis-casting, especially former Bond girl Talisa Soto in the title role -- who's purty but not statuesque or chesty enough to fill out the Vampirella costume. The Who's Roger Daltrey (!), who hams it up big time as the bad guy, seems to be having fun though. I've seen worse but even on a Corman budget this could've been so much better.

"AC/DC: The Brian Johnson Years"
I had to check this out after hearing the news about Malcolm Young today. This is one of those cheap, no-frills "unauthorized" documentaries, in which U.K. rock critics like Malcolm Dome and Jerry Rutherford give an album-by-album run down of the Brian Johnson-era of AC/DC. Some bootleg-quality vintage live clips pad things out to feature length. Nothing earth shattering here, but a fun watch for fanboys.

[martinsane]

Morgan = Not a bad yarn with Ridley Scott all over it. Worth the 90 minute investment.

[Invisible_man]

watched some historical dramas

The Exception - drama about WWII spies,  about romantic love, but also about love and loyalty to ones country. Nice movie.

The Lost City of Z - movie about early 20th century explorer, kind of like a real-life Indiana Jones, but with more drama and way less action. The movie is well shot, and Charlie Hunnam and Sienna Miller played well.
