Old Henry: An old farmer, his wife 10 years gone, lives a hard life on an Oklahoma farm raising a son and keeping to himself. A train robber drifts onto his land an inch from dead so he takes him home and nurses him back to health, horse, loot and all. Turns out this robber ripped off a couple of other train robbers and they come looking for him. Every baddie is disguised as a law-man in this movie. The ghost of old William Bonny is resurrected (seems they're getting short of western legacy villains in Hollywood) as thereafter scores die in quick-draw gunfights and shootouts. The actors and directing make this movie, plot is hopeless fantasy. Fun entertainment.
 
Red Notice wasn't that bad, or great either, just simple predictable fun, saw that twist a mile away. Ryan had a few good ones. Also one of the few movies Gal Gadot was actually decent, not some dear in the headlights.
 
Comeback Trail.
De Niro,Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones.
Light entertainment.
 
Put Avatar into my old Blu ray player tonite. There was a huge thread years ago when it was released. Can't find it.

"The Alpinist" available on Canadian Prime now.
Must see IMO. Canadian connection. The survival rate of the high level solo alpinists is about 50% and this is an insight in that world of crazies. Some amazing footage and a few cool technical sequences.

Saw this the other day. Reynolds’s schtick started to get a bit annoying after a bit and I don’t really care for Gadot..except she does have legs that seem to be of infinite length, which I can tolerate. I like Johnson for some reason. He’s a natural comic and actually has some decent talent.
 
The Babysitters: Whew, where to begin with this movie? You would almost think this was directed by Jefferey Epstein. A hormonally driven teen gets into a relationship with a middle aged married man whose kids she is babysitting. He overpays her out of a kind of guilt. She likes the money and continues doing it, then she gets her high school girlfriends into it with other families, and basically ends up running a prostitution ring. It gets complicated from there.

Not sure, but the Hollywood "you shouldn't be doing this" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) factor towards young girls here is disturbing. I do remember something like this going on at a Montreal high school in the 1970s and it resulted in some arrests. In this age of 'OnlyFans' and internet Sugardaddy dating I suppose this film shouldn't be troubling. But it is. It's on Amazon Prime this month. Worth watching.
 
Found "From Dusk Till Dawn" on Prime. Any good?

That was nice. Salma Hayek is "nice" too.
She does agood job of a John Lennon song in "Across the Universe". Movie with a great cast. Joe Cocker, Bono, Jude Law etc etc.
 
I'll watch it again tonite. Never was a big fan of Fab4 music in the 60s. But the music in this movie was REALLY well done.
 
No Time To Die - Almost three hours and barely anything happens at all. I love bond movies, almost all of them, have zero desire to rewatch this though. Just seems like a vehicle for Daniel Craig to completely destroy any possibility of playing Bond again.

Venom: Let There Be Carnage - Another dud. No humour, no dialogue, poor action, and a plot that never gets explained. Really liked the first, this was bad. At least it had the decency to only be 90 minutes long.
 
No Time to Die- hated , hated the ending. Never ending supply of Astin Martens across the decades was fun to watch. Good motorcycle scenes, some cool effects but really missed the mark as a Bond film in my mind.
Hot girl, politics, super villain, cool cars and gadgets , yes.

Pandering to the 'correct' with all that encompassed in this film , well that was never Bond.

Agree that was never Bond films. Letting boys be boys and girls be girls. With tongue-in-cheek (or something like that) girlfriend names like Octopussy, Mary Goodnight, Xenia Onatopp, Dr. Honey Goodhead, Kissy Suzuki, Honey Rider, and Pussy Galore who recently turned 89. Harmless fun that has now become more church-lady (SNL) than real church ladies!
 
Good on Netflix ....Sherpas get their due as the best climbers ever. 14 peaks above 8k meter ...lifetime goals for even one for many........only 19 people have done all 14 in their climbing careers.
Well these guys?? Just watch. (y)

Dune was worth the wait for a big screen and sound system.
I enjoyed the David Lynch version but this has better casting especially for the lead who was a teenager in the books,
Special effects are of course a generation or two newer.
Bring on part II. Suggest iMax while you still can both for the big screen but especially for the sound.

Power of the Dog on Netflix.
Jane Campion is a fav director and Cumberbatch right up there for acting. YRMV
