The throwing of the bat and recovery was particularly good in that.

"Red Notice" on Netflix. According to Rock himself it has the best opening on this streaming platform. And is listed as #1 in Canada
But I couldn't even pass first 20min mark. Sooooo bad IMO.

"Chaos Walking" on Prime I liked for what it is - space future Sci-Fi, despite all the critics destroying it...

Caught it last night, I liked it! It's somewhat derivative and The Rock and Ryan Reynolds playing the same characters they always do, plus Gal Gadot bringing
If you like their general shtick, you'll probably like this.

Yeah, I know, public definitely voted in favor and someone like me is in minority
It's age probably - getting attracted nowadays to more serious, dark, lifelike sh*t...
I always wonder what the atmosphere is like on the set of lazy, derivative movies like this. Does everyone involved hate themselves a little bit or are they completely blinded by the money?
Not proud to admit that I almost watched the whole thing.

I think all these people just basking in the The Rock's magic rays
I'd too be happy doing ANYTHING if The Rock was there! I think he is so popular right now so he can sell sand in a desert to anyone. I love the guy and his work attitude, don't get me wrong..I think they know they're making entertainment and banking $20m/star for having some fun. There is nothing wrong with that. Everything doesn't have to be oscar worthy.
Too many movies/tv shoes these days take themselves way too seriously, I'm all for dumb entertainment
I enjoyed it quite a bit, despite there being plot holes in it that you could fly an Antonov through.on the other hand

Oh no, I loved Venom 1 so much. Out of a billion “superheroes” - Venom and Deadpool are the only two i was able to watch till the very end and enjoy..
Same. I fast-forward the final(ish) group fight scene at the park where they were fighting the masked people.
Jungle Cruise - Quite enjoyed this one. Especially the dad-jokes.
Few Christmas Choices:
Love Hard - wife and I both enjoyed it. It's a rom-com obviously but not over the top.
Klaus - this one's a couple years old and I've recommended it before but I'll recommend it yet again because it's darn good (heck it was even nominated for Acadamy's).
Noelle - Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader. Anna is reason enough but the story and jokes make it even better.
Arthur Christmas - Not as good as Klaus but still a nice feel-good Christmas animated movie everyone will enjoy.

Host via Prime.
Found footage horror using zoom meeting as the main platform. Watched it with the kids. Kids enjoyed it. Much better than i expected. I have watched a number of horror movies on Prime, and some of them are straight garbage with the acting.

Dune: It was sort of okay. Much better than the 80s movie, but still a fantasy for kids. This is the first of a three-part series I understand. It's more like a Red Sonia formula with much better effects. String-bean hero kid taking on 'roid-o-muscular dudes is hilarious Saturday matinee fare.
No Time to Die: Hollywood bleeders got to the 007 script, making the same disastrous screw up that happened in 1969 with On Her Majesty's Secret Service box office flop. They even use the same music, cheap buggers. James Bond, family man, Dad, played by a too old to be believable Daniel Craig, with a wife who could be his granddaughter. The movie is all-wet, but still action packed. Motorcycle enthusiasts will be in stitches at the stunts. To their credit they do bring back the Ian Flemingesque creepy goons that add humour to the Bond formula. Of course, Hollywood script writers have to have tragic villains these days, with bad childhoods and redeeming features, sort of like the disasterpiece that was Joker. Watch this movie for the stunts and the action.

lol, meh the new movie I found to be boring, and one dimensional characters. The 84 version hasn't held up too well, some things work others don't mostly because of modern standards in movie making, not lack of creativity. I still prefer it, the cast was great and when stuff happened they reacted, much more impressive an memorable then the new version.
No Time to Die
Some partial spoilers.
Just watched it. Didn’t mind it. It was missing “something” though. Craig brought an edge to Bond that I liked but it didn’t seem to be here in this one. This was a film that seemed wrapped around the story of Bond as Craig, leaving. One thing I always liked about the Bond films were the locations and even though this one hopscotched around the globe a bit the locations were a bit forgettable to me save for the opening scenes. Another thing that bugged me was the way it was filmed too. The cinematic/audio trick with an explosion deafening Bond at the start was neat with the music change and all….but then they did it again later and it seemed a bit naff, like the director had found a neat trick and wanted to keep doing it. The massive set for the final scenes seemed a bit wasted, I thought they could have done so much more with that. The “farm” was interesting but they didn’t go anywhere with it.
Hard to fathom how they are going to bring the next Bond in as this one severed all ties to the character. Not that I’m a cinematic genius or anything but I would have introduced the new Bond somehow at the end of the film as a “to be continued” feature and I don’t know that the ending they had for Craig was the right one. Right now I have a horrible feeling they might “woke“ this one a bit somehow.
