A Quiet Place 3 stunk. This is the second movie I've seen in a row that didn't have a story. Remember what you saw in the trailer? That's the movie. The aliens attack. The lady goes from location to location with her cat. The movie ends.
I hope you have one of those monthly movie passes. Paying full price for all those stinkers has to get expensive.
I do. Three movies a week for $25 a month. I like the movie theater experience. The big screen and the big sound. But most movies suck. I can think of maybe three or four movies in the last several years that have been at least good.
Fortunately, the full 35 minute film is on YouTube. Unique premise and very dark ending. Enjoyed it alot. Thanks for posting it. I can see where this one might stick with a person.
We will be watching Only Murders in the Building Season 3 Episode 10 tonight. Definitely looking forward to Season 4.
This may be the most hated movie in recent memory.
Basically, the "society" exists for its members to magically appear and make white people feel safe and comfortable in potentially volatile situations. It's clearly meant to be somewhat absurd and over the top - hence the name! In that respect, it's akin to "Get Out," in which the villains take cultural appropriation to a most extreme level by appropriating people's actual beings, not just their culture. But this movie, like "Get Out," makes some very valid points about race relations in America. I get where they were going with it, especially in light of many incidences in the news over the past several years.
The overall approval rating for the movie is at around 25%, but I'm in the minority of people who actually like it. Watch it at your own risk!
We are watching Lost on Netflix and I am also watching Sopranos on Max on my own. Admittedly I spend too much time watching TV.
So it wasn't just me. I'll add that it was...um...less than subtle with its politics.
I really want to learn some of the new features. But I see things keep appearing and disappearing. Might just wait a bit till things settle down.
Watched 3 movies recently, all had actor Peter Lorre in them LOL. Wasn't intentional.
You'll Find Out (1940) is a vehicle for big-band leader and entertainer Kay Kyser. Comedy/Crime with Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorre and comedian/coronet player Ish Kabibble. I just like saying his name LOL. Light, fun, goofy entertainment.
The Story of Mankind (1957) headed up by Vincent Price as the devil (Mr. Scratch) having a discussion with The Spirit of Man about mankind's invention of the hydrogen bomb. Fantasy/Drama. Many well known stars in various vignettes set in different time periods of history. Peter Lorre played Nero.
This next one floored me as to how good an actor Peter Lorre was. M (1931), Crime/Mystery about a child killer in a German town that police couldn't catch. The criminal elements in town also joined in the hunt, but unknown to the police and for their own reasons. German language film (Lorre already spoke German and Hungarian), English subtitles. Brilliant film, in my opinion.
If you like German expressionist films, you might enjoy this.

Yeah, a couple of times I thought, “Well THAT sounds familiar.”
All the light we cannot see. The series.
Getting some giggles out of the goodies and baddies dynamic. Am I really supposed to be outraged only by the Germans who want to steal the diamonds from the French people who stole them from the Africans?
Expect the book might be a tad more nuanced. And quite possibly the movie as well.
