I've said before i think there's just too much content, hulu, netflix, apple, regular cinema/tv channels, prime etc ........ there's so much mediocrity.

NOt a Dracula bit....its more of a doctor bit. Yes the movie is 100% ridiculous but that is the point, this type of flick is supposed to be. Give it a shot, it really is a lot of fun

Have not seen it but I hear it's doing well at the box office.

br2wdc · 01-25-2022, 01:35 PM

Completely concur ... an insane action/thriller that is quite the roller coaster, written by the same guy who wrote John Wick, but this one is more realistic to me

Can anyone translate this? I believe it's Korean?
I must see it!

This movie appears to have gotten lots of buzz at Sundance! It looks very creepy with some unexpected twists. Sign me up.

Ooooooo that might be a good watch.

I just started watching, "Chosen" on Netflix. Let's see how it goes.

TXSTYLE · 01-27-2022, 07:29 PM

This looks really good.

Alfisti · 01-28-2022, 08:21 AM

That looks up my alley.

Kilabyte · 01-28-2022, 11:53 PM

^ That does look pretty good, but the trailer shows a car jumping from one piece of falling city to another reminding me of 2012 so I'm hoping it's less of that and more of what the preview shows. Watching it anyway

Esteban · 01-29-2022, 12:20 AM

Just finished Last Night in Soho. Thought it was very good. Nice twist at the end.

M5Rick · 01-29-2022, 03:44 AM

Saw Interstellar and regret ever starting watching it.

M5Rick · 01-29-2022, 12:39 PM

Just finished watching Jack Reacher, good action by Cruise but bit of a far fetched tale of an army sniper accused of randomly shooting strangers.

As is often the case, the books were much better than the movie. Cruise has made a lot of good movies, but was wrong guy for that particular role.

Quote:

When asked about the casting of Tom Cruise in the role of Jack Reacher (Tom Cruise's casting as Jack Reacher was met with severe criticism from fans of the book series, primarily because the disparity in their heights with Reacher portrayed as a blond, 6 ft 5 in (1.96 m) tall, 250-pound man in the novels, while Cruise is a 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) tall brunette. Child replied that "Reacher's size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force". Physically and appearance wise, Child has compared him to Rugby Player Lawrence Dallaglio.

(Lee Child is the author of the Jack Reacher books)

I actually liked the movies, but I never read the books so I had no idea that Jack Reacher was supposed to be a big, blonde guy. Just the opposite of Tom Cruise.
