Last movie you watched?

[CureTheSane]

Avengers Endgame.
For me it was a great movie. Worthy follow up to the last.
Lots of comedy in it, lots of more emotional stuff as well.
Really liked what seems to be coming in the future (won't give any spoilers)

Just got off a 10 hour flight to Shanghai.

Watched The Hurricaine Heist.
went in expecting utter crap but it was actually a reasonable movie. May have been huge if released in the 90's but shit has changed since then.

Tried watching Ralph Wrecks The Internet because I saw some shorts and it looked pretty funny, but after 10 minutes I canned it as just a kids movie.

The First Man? The Neil Armstrong movie.
exactly what i expected, and after an hour I started skipping until I saw the somewhat underwhelming ending.
It was done in the quiet, artsy way. Give me Apollo 13 any day...

The Burrowers (2008) - horror/western flick...usually this mini genre puts out crap but this film is actually a bit above average...at least worth a watch...

I hate that flight. Dunno where you were flying from, but the 10 hour from Vancouver to Shanghai is the worst. No amount of movies can make it any less horrible.

We flew from Melbourne

In the middle of nowhere in China at the momenT, visiting factories sourcing new suppliers.

Every single person stares at us. Many get their phone out and take pics/video
Had one guy ask yesterday "what are you doing here?" I said "shopping"
He said "how did you get here?" I said "aeroplane, then taxi"
He looked very confused lol

My very very limited mandaring words are also useless here as it's a different dialect and they don't understand me at all.
Google translate is a saviour

Back to Shanghai tomorrow for a few days then off to Yiwu - the world's larget marketplace - for a few days.
Looking forward to watching Game Of Thrones from today before I see spoilers

I'm so done with superhero movies, I had no intention to see this. But someone bought me a ticket. I didn't want to like the film, but it's really good. So good that I'm thinking I might need to watch some of the film's I missed.

Havent seen it but looking forward to it. Love the Beatles and this looks like a good story. https://www.yesterdaymovie.com/

Brigsby Bear~ Low key comedy, little arty, little dark, but quite a nice film. Mark Hammill  and Greg Kinnear steal the show.

 

The Mule~Came and went but watchable, not memorable and damn Clint Eastwood is farking OLD.

[Dead Planet]

Rewatching the entire Babylon 5 series...110 episodes and 7 movies...still one of the best scifi series ever made even though the cgi for seasons 1 and 2 is bad, seasons 3-5 are much better cgi wise....

[lettard]

Went tonight and watched John Wick 3 in the cinema...very good...I mean whats not to like about John Wick?   

Really liked how it just jumps straight in from pretty much where part 2 left off,so no need for an introduction

Went on Tuesday and watched Rocketman with my wife...it was good,not great but I enjoyed it.

Watched Bumblebee on disc last night,enjoyed it a lot,a hell of a lot better than the last few Transformers movies for me.

[martinsane]

Saw Endgame in the theatre last night and as already known this is a great addition to the Marvel franchise.

 

Snake Out of Compton, yep snake. This one would break Kieth's schlockometer, so bad and painful that is might be good? No.

 

Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot~ Gus Van Sants latest with Joquin Phoenix portraying Portlandian drunkard, quadrapalegic cartoonist John Callahan. Very well done, supremely serious and broody but a great film. Probably one of Jonah Hill's best performances and no he isn't even trying to be funny.

 

Winchester~the "true" story of the heir to the Winchester Repeater Rifle fortune and her maddening obsession with building a ghost hotel. Very interesting story however the movie was one jump scare after another and really probably just hollywoodized the underlying story. Worth a watch only to spark your interest to do some digging on the real tale. Apparently the house is still in the Bay Area and the end scene (s) and the great San Fran earthquake certainly make one wonder...

 

Hellfest~This watered down haunted theme park "scary" movie was meh. It was like a Scooby Do episode without the plot and/or being able to leer at Velma and Daphne...

Captain Marvel (2019) - it was okay, I've seen so many of these superhero flicks that they are all starting to look alike....

Captive State (2019) - decent alien invasion film...

[CureTheSane]

John Wick 3 - OK third movie. Same as before, with noting really new. Bit too much fighting. Lots of fighting is ok, but there was nothing that made you smile during the fights.
I reckon the next one will be the last.

Brightburn - Dick Superman. Actually far better than I thought. In fact better than most DC stuff these days. Worth a look.

What do you mean "starting"?

[martinsane]

Dead Ant ~ If your not savy get to be. This one is b-movie schlock at its best and done last year. Jake Busey and Co. play an over the hump glam rock band trying to reignite the torch, they stop in the desert for some mind altering and shenanigans unfold.

A nice movie and the soundtrack is awesome! For fans of KIX as they use 2 tunes of theirs and Steep Panther as the movie bands new song amply entitle "Sideboob" is brilliant!

Started watching Vacation.

The newer National Lampoons sequel
I've seen it before, but I'm laughing hellalot on second viewing.
That little brother kills me.
Had to stop watching because I have work to do so I'll pick it up again in a few day.

[martinsane]

Finally watched Bumblebee and boy that was not a good addition to the Transformers legacy even with the film set in the 80's...

[Invisible_man]

Serenity (2019) - weird movie with Matthew McConaughey, not quite what I expected, but the ending is rather dramatic and touching..

Arctic (2019) - good survival movie with Mads Mikkelsen, kept me interested and worried for the characters all throughout the movie

Happy Death Day 2U (2019) - I was pleasantly surprised with this sequel, I thought it was a fun continuation of the first one.

Agreed. They certainly upped the comedy but it was a fun tag along to the first one.

 

Finally got around to seeing Jigsaw, don't think I have seen any Saw movies since maybe the 3rd one and this was right inline with those. Splatter porn at its best with lots of "shall we play a game" riddles.

[CureTheSane]

Saw Murder Mystery, the new Adam Sandler/Jennifer Aniston movie which was OK I guess

Saw Big Stan which I hadn't seen before and that was pretty good.

Saw Vacation again with Ed Helms and Cristina Applegate. I love this movie the little brother is my hero.
