Cold In July..... This movie is 9 years old but haven't watched it in a few years. Great cast with Michael C. Hall, Sam Shepard, Don Johnson and Wyatt Russell. It takes place in 1989 in east Texas and starts when an average family man, Hall (sporting a nice 80's mullet) wakes up and finds and shoots a burglar in his house. That's about as much as I can say about it, it's a movie that's better the less you know about it. I'm not sure how to categorize the movie, kinda Southern Noir or suspense pulp thriller, but I liked it. 8/10

I watched "Knock, Knock" tonight with Keanu Reeves. I really wish I didn't. It was so ridiculous it actually made me angry. Hollywood really needs to stop making trash like that.

7.5/10

Liam Neeson
Hot heroine January Jones
Usual Neeson action but fairly well scripted and entertaining in a ‘suspend reality’ kind of way
Mindless enjoyment

Prey on Hulu. Probably 6/10. Nothing will ever beat the Ahney version. But nifty take on Predator.

Main actors as 1600’s Cherokee tribe members not very convincing.

I felt about the same, but after a second watch I liked it a little more. Not a lot more, but a little. The CGI was terrible, especially the bear.

I watched "X" It's a slasher flick with Jenn Ortega as a co-star. It takes place in the 1970's east Texas and a group of young adults go to an old farm to make a porno, they want to cash in on that new home video market. It was a pretty typical slasher movie, they did a good job of having that 70's kind of vibe, overall it was alright. 6.5/10

They made a Sequel/prequel to that movie called Pearl.

In this one Mia Goth plays the girl who would eventually become the farmers old wife.

Personally I thought the X movie was better.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023)​

8.35 of 10.00

"I'M FULL OF HOLES!"

Of course, I am bias but I do think the Quantum Realm was very well conceptualized visually. It is completely alien unlike anything seen in previous Marvel movies, even Ant-Man and The Wasp. Special effects get an A+ for me. That includes MODOK as well (again/seen in the trailer/not a spoiler).

Understandably, Michelle Pfeiffer's character is an essential element in the entire plot (that much is alluded to in the trailer, so not a spoiler). The entire Ant-Man family is engaging individually, although it *kinda* felt Evangeline Lilly's energy was a tiny bit meh once or twice. Paul Rudd delivers as the other half of the main superhero duo though. Newly cast Kathryn Newton played Cassie Lang well enough to make me forgot about Emma Fuhrmann, who was Cassie briefly in Avengers: Endgame.

Do not blink or you will miss Bill Murray's cameo. It is not that short but yeah it's short!

Last but not least, Jonathan Majors. My advice to those who last saw him in Loki and did not get any evil vibe from him is buckle up. His Kang is darkly sinister. Malevolent. Menacing. Good-bye Thanos. There is a new big bad in the MCU. PERFECT casting.

Extras: two cut scenes. The first comes three minutes into the ending credits. The last appears after all credits have rolled. BOTH are worthy of the wait. And the first cut scene is worthy more as fact than opinion, especially for non-comic book fans that do not know who... Kang... is...

Time for a new avatar. For those who paid any attention to my avatar during the past three weeks, I rotated through all the main characters of the movie--changing to a new actor every fourth day until I reached Rudd before the movie's opening. Yeah. I'm a comics nerd.

There's Something Wrong with the Children​

A family takes a weekend trip with longtime friends and their two young children, but, they suspect something supernatural when the kids behave strangely after disappearing into the woods overnight.

Meh, had some potential and it was ok but it fell short in the end.

The Bad Education Movie​

English teen comedy with British comic Jack Whitehall
NSFW. Raunchy juvenile comedy. but if you are ok with that type of comedy you will
get a good laugh out of a few scenes.

I saw this a few years ago and liked it, just watched it again and still laughed at a few scenes.

UMMA

Amanda and her daughter live a quiet life on an American farm, but when the remains of her estranged mother arrive from Korea, Amanda becomes haunted by the fear of turning into her own mother.

MEH
Had potential and the overall story idea was not bad. However it was just not a good movie. Could have made it much better IMO.

 

[CouchCoach]

The Woman King, 8/10, Netflix. You can put Viola Davis in anything and I will like it and I think she was perfect in this part. This was very well acted by the entire cast and one I will watch again.

I remember that trailer. Sandra Oh was in it and got my initial interest but not enough for me to watch it.

I am still upset Davis did not get a Best Actress nomination for the role. She received over 30 nominations from major and minor award organizations including the Golden Globes, Critics Choice, Screen Actors Guild and Image Awards. > T-h-i-r-t-y.

Izogie (Lashana Lynch) was my favorite of the movie. Her subtle facial expressions and affectations made her character very convincing.

I give the movie a 7/10, and her performance a 9/10.

Worst: Maverick

I made it through 15 minutes while on a plane and that's all I could tolerate before needing a barf bag.

Watched this one last night. It’s currently available on Netflix.

Ugh! Sony’s Spiderverse is an embarrassment. When Disney isn’t directly involved as they are with the Tom Holland films, these things are a mess.

I feel bad for Jared Leto. He’s dedicated himself to several of these film properties - Blade Runner, Suicide Squad, Snyderverse, and then this one - and they’re all deeply flawed. It’s certainly not his fault because he’s not given quality to work with. The only blame could be what he’s signing up for.

This film makes little sense thanks to poor directing and editing. And the end credits setup is even worse.

4 out of 10 for a completely forgettable movie.
