just watched "Murder on the Orient Express". the 1974 version. It was pretty good. I had a few problems understanding the Overexaggerated accent of Hercule Poirot but it was good. 8 out of 10.

Just watched “Taxi Driver” for the first time. For its time, it was shocking, but pretty funny now watching peter boyle being tough and talking about “gay guys” giving each other head knowing he was later in young frankenstien” and everyone loves raymond.
Jody foster being 12 and playing a prostitute was rough to watch, especially undoing the guys belt ..should have gotten an older actress.. prolly what turned her out,, but for a classic, it was ok for the time

Peter Boyle had a big hit in 1970 with a movie called JOE, where he was a tough guy who said a lot of shit like that. It's kinda depressing now, because it was taken seriously by a certain percentage of the population and the character a hero, even though he was meant to be an unsympathetic fucktard.

It's also depressing because a lot of the shit he says still comes out of right-wing mouths now, 55 year later.

Superman (2025) 9/10.
Absolutely loved it. Not really sure how it could have been more fun. This movie walked absolutely no lines. It was 100% comic cook movie and went all in on fantastical shit. But as long as you’re willing to go with it, it’s a fucking great movie. Perfect casting, perfect tone. I’m a big Superman fan and Gunn nailed it.

Rites of Passage (2012) - watched on Tubi.

Pretty bad. the characters and their motivations mostly made no sense and the movie had some good ideas that were either poorly executed or barely there.

I watched Sinners last night. I liked it, but didn't love it.

I kinda wish it didn't turn into a horror film. I enjoyed everything up to there...after that it was just From Dusk 'til Dawn part 2. The stuff in the cotton fields and sharecropper slums was just beautiful.

Would have rather just seen the story of the two brothers coming down from Chicago to start a club and discovering a young blues prodigy.

Don't forget Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane.

I couldn't take my eyes off of her throughout the whole movie.

That's an excellent observation and one I share. I went into Sinners thinking it was going to be a story about Robert Johnson. It kinda started that way, then wound up something completely different.
Which is a great thing. Although I would love to see a proper version of Johnson's life sometime in my life time.

The film's real strength imo are the characters, as every single one of them was completely fleshed out, and contributed something valuable to the film.
Would have been nice to see Annie as a vampire and it was a shame she didn't quite make it . . .

Great movie I just watched again on BluRay 10/10.

Happy Gilmore 2.. funny and a ton of guests

“Panic in the year zero”… nuclear war movie about a family surviving among the break down of society. Older movie B&W. I thought it was good including the jazz music throughout it..

“The boys in brazil”.. award winning cast. I remember it when it came out but was too young to understand it..it was ok but it makes me wonder how much the government knew about the nazi’s when they fled. It was based in Paraguay and in real life that is where “dr” mengele actual lived until his death

I watched happy Gilmore 2 last week and it was great! Hilarious! Loved all my PGA favorites in it!

Yeah it was better before it became a horror film.

Also, the Asian lady invited the Vampires in. There was a fight for about 10 minutes at most, and then it was sunrise!

It was also weird and unfortunate that it was set in 1932...because Dracula came out in 1931 and was an absolute cultural phenomenon...so the characters should have been all like: "OOOH! THEY DRACULAS! DON'T INVITE THEM IN!"

At least they pegged them as being vampires and it wasn't like one of those zombie shows where for some reason they have never heard the word ZOMBIE.

If someone comes to your house and waits to be invited inside, is your first thought "They is vampires"?
