MUST-SEE MOVIES

Watched Carry On (not a new release) and it was great until the ending. Honestly the ending kind of pissed me off and ruined an otherwise excellent movie.

Just as everyone has said, Project Hail Mary is good

This is probably the only book I've read in the last 10 years (well, I listened to the Audiobook, but still).

Can't wait to see it and glad the reviews have been so positive.

Filmfest is opening up with a Uecker documentary with, apparently, behind the scenes access from 2024. 

 

I am lucky enough to be seeing it tomorrow

I read the book and the movie is a pretty faithful adaptation.

In the post show conversation, the editor (I forget his name) said he felt like he'd fine a great job with his first cut in narrowing things down.... And it was five hours long. I'm sure plenty of Brewers fans want that cut!

Normal

- Great flick!  If you like the Nobody movies, this is right up your alley!

- Humorous graphic violence is a thing now...

[wallus]

I enjoyed Michael. Jaafar Jackson should win some kind of award for his acting in this one but I am guessing he will not.

Time to rewatch Deliverance.  Hard to believe movie is almost 55 years old.

Anyone ventured out to see the new Star Wars flick yet?

I feel I need to go, but I'm not really expecting much to be honest.

I'll probably check it out this week.

No the trailers looked like garbage and the reviews so far have confirmed that.

I watched it yesterday and I really enjoyed it. It was like an extra long Mando episode, which is what I expected.  I like it better as a series, but definitely glad I saw it in the theater.

[TURBO]

Yeah, just got back from seeing it, and I found it entertaining, but that is the best praise I can give it.

Worth seeing in the theater for sure if you like Star Wars in general.
