New Indiana Jones, boring beyond words. Makes the last one with aliens seem like Oscars material
 
Beau is Afraid (2023)

Not sure how I feel about this - it's very unsettling and made me anxious. If you've seen Ari Aster movies before and like them, then watch it.

I have no desire to see this movie. Eventhough I haven't seen much on the marketing material, something about it just turned me off. Now you have sealed that decision.
 
Watched the Guardians 3 movie last night and really enjoyed it. Solidly entertaining with some great humour especially the bug girl and the suit colours part.
 
Better than expected

‘Hell or High Water’ Review: Modern-Day Western Takes on the Banks and Wins​

Great cast, including Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine, turn this Texas crime story into a lo-fi stunner

Hell or High Water Movie Review 2016
Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster turn Texas crime story 'Hell and High Water' into a gritty indie must-see. CBS FILMS
CHRIS PINE PROVES he can act. Ben Foster, well, he always could. And Jeff Bridges shows them both how it’s done. Those are just three riveting reasons to pony up for Hell or High Water. Hot damn, this one’s a goodie — a mesmerizing, modern-day western that moves with the coiled intensity of a rattlesnake ready to spring. Set in West Texas, like No Country for Old Men, this fierce and funny hellraiser takes turns into areas where there’s no moral compass.
Tightly directed by David Mackenzie (Starred Up), from a dynamite script by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario), the movie starts with the first in a series of bank robberies. Two men in masks: Toby (Pine) is focused; Tanner (Foster), a recent parolee, not so much. They’re brothers, and the movies heroes — the villains are bankers ready to foreclose on the boys’ farm. It’s a sweet irony, paying back fiduciary thieves with their own money and laundering the cash at casinos run by Indians, who also know what’s like to be screwed.


Enter Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton (Bridges, in True Grit mode, is a cagey wonder), who comes up with a canny plan for their capture. He spends a lot of time razzing his deputy Alberto (the excellent Gil Birmingham) about his Indian-Mexican heritage. But the old-coot lawman is well versed in the art of the scam. The Bridges scenes with Pine have a teasing humor imbued with subtle threat. This is in sharp contrast to the electrifying Foster, who shoots for the fences as the wild-card brother.

That Pine can hold his own with these two pros suggests a promising acting future ahead for Captain Kirk. These exceptional performances lift the bar on a film that expertly mixes jolts of violence with social awareness and a sense of life lived on the edge. Don’t make it a question of if you should see Hell or High Water; make it a question of how soon. It’s that special.

As a huge Wes Anderson fan i thought Asteroid City was great fun.
All the usual bizarre and random scenes and fantastic cast.

And that flat delivery that makes you think that everyone is a psychopath, that's probably more close to everyday speech patterns than is the usual actor emoting. Quite enjoyed it.
 
Transformers Beasts - RT has critics at 50% and audiences at 90%. It somewhere in between that. Story is thin as is most of the fight sequences. Autobots as usual mostly get their butts handed to them for much of the movie then miraculously find a way to fight better at the end.
 
"Renfield" - Amazon finally took it off purchase only and the rental wasn't too steep, so I took a shot. Turns out it's one of the good Nicolas Cage movies, and he isn't even playing the main character. He does get to chew on the scenery as Dracula though. Great cast; Nicholas Hoult, Awkwafina, Ben Schwartz, Shohreh Aghdashloo, and Nicolas Cage. Quite the bloody action comedy.
 
They Cloned Tyrone on Netflix - Wow, what a great movie. Somewhat along the lines of Get Out and just as well made
 
Champions.

Starring Woody Harrelson. He’s a college basketball coach that messed up his career and ends up coaching a team of mentally challenged players as part of his mandated community service.

Absolutely excellent.
