SAW the Equalizer2. Good action ( gets gory at times). No let down from the 1st one. 9/10
----

ant man and the wasp....kinda stupid. mainly a kids movie. 4/10

 

[run and shoot]

Skyscrapper is a decent summer pop corn flick. Just don't take it to seriously, as there are several highly unrealistic sequences that take place. Die Hard is much better

Thought the dialogue could've been better. It seems like Dwayne Johnson uses corny similar dialogue in every movie. He could use some acting
courses.

Loved the first one until they did the final action sequence in a Home Depot, that was a very weak ending to a great movie.

"I'm gonna kill him with a glue gun!" LOL

Even though I only saw it once I loved Super 8 when it first came out.

Just rewatched it now and it's pretty dull. It's instances like this that make me afraid to revisit certain movies I haven't seen in a long time.

Also, JJ Abrams is a bad director lol.

I like Super 8...insane audio too, the train crash scene is deafening.

That's where the movie peaked IMO.

The kids rehearsing their quiet train station scene that they planned, and then frantically hurrying to do it loudly when they see a train is about to pass by, so that it can add some "production value", was impressive.
After that though, the movie splits those two narratives apart and doesn't do either effectively to me. It's not an real creature film because the kids don't even know that there is any sort of monster until the final act. So they're not hunting, running from, or trying to find any information about it. In the meantime, they spend most of their time making the movie, which never gets more impressive than the train scene.

And the directing was distracting, look at this scene from a technical standpoint.

Useless camera movements, odd cuts, weird angles. Just bad lol.

In Abrams defense though, I did just watch Jurassic Park last night, so that's a pretty high bar...

You forgot his use of lens flares...lots and lots of those lol.

If you like the HBO show VEEP, The Death of Stalin (same creator) is like that set in the Soviet Union. Which means, it's also like Animal Farm at times.

A really good satire/dark comedy.

 

[Monster]

Dark Crimes with Jim Carrey...
He did a good job in the sense it was a different character for him... which he did very well in 13.
I found this very slow to develop... the twist at the end was a delightful surprise but it was hard getting there.

I think it was a nail gun ( that's gotta hurt at close range)


But....
I hear ya.... I think they were trying to show his "resourcefulness" as a former BlkOps guy (you know being able to use whatever use what ever is available to 'off' somebody). I would have liked 2 have seen how he took out all those Russian bodyguards when he went to Russia.

Don't me wrong the ending did kinda surprise me. But he did a good job of torturing that villain ( I hated the guy...lol)

 

[run and shoot]

Just saw Leave No Trace

Deals with a Dad & daughter surviving in the wilderness ( it's really a national park in Washington state).

I give it a 5.5 /10 mainly because of no character development. Ya never find out why these 2 are living "off the grid".

JJ Abrams is a technically excellent director, almost to a fault. But he does make kind of a lotta movies with crap scripts.

A Quiet Place - 7.5/10

Really good but overrated, I was expecting a fantastic experience. Emily Blunt was excellent though.

A Quiet Place - 7.5/10....is about right....there were some holes in the story-line


Emily Blunt....is a good actress she made the 1st Sicario much better than the new Sicario: Day of the Soldado without her. She was also good in The Wolfman

The glue gun line was hyperbole, I know what they were going for with resourcefulness, I just think they swung and missed. I loved the movie, hated the Home Depot scene, and will definitely watch the sequel.

My favorite scene was when he locked the door, set his watch and took out the Russian prostitution ring.

But.....
How would you have written that the Home Depot scene ? And Yes...I recommend seeing the sequel.

It was too corny, the bad guys were all armed to the teeth, he should have been picking up their weapons after he wasted them. Use the Home Depot resourceful gag once, that would have made the point, but that shit went on forever and I thought it was silly.

The Russian pimp take down in the beginning was epic, so was the oligarch take down at the end. He should have gone to Putin next.

Mission Impossible: Fallout was one hell of a movie.

 

[ZOMBIE@CTESPN]

I stopped watching it after part 2. Do you have to see the others to see the new one?

I finished altered carbon and actually liked it I don’t get the bad reviews

I’m going to watch extinction on Netflix tonight. I know it looks redundant to other alien invasion movies but it looks pretty good. Maybe Sunday I might rent eastern promises.

Also watched the road last week and that was 10/10

III opens with and introduces us to his fiance/wife who gets pulled into his dangerous life but you don't need to see the whole movie. You can maybe just watch clips of them together on Youtube or find one of those free stream sites and just skip to scenes with her to get a feel for them both and what they went through. She returns in Fallout, which isn't a spoiler because it's hinted at very early.

Ghost Protocol can be skipped.

Rogue Nation however, you definitely have to watch. There are 2 or 3 important characters that return and are probably even more important in this one.

One of my complaints with Rogue Nation is that I didn't care about the characters, but Fallout does a good job with the internal conflict and emotional stuff to go along. It has that same feeling as Logan where the weight and emotional baggage of all the stuff from the past is catching up with everyone.
