Movies! The movie thread

Dune

Did anyone notice what was written on the opening credits, below the title???

WTF?

Being able to hear most of the dialog when I watched again last night was better.

Confessional: I'm still kinda partial to the original

I liked "IP Man 4" because of the appearance by Bruce Lee (actor portraying him) but wished there were more fight scenes with him in it.

Having said that, the main actor/character Donnie Yen/Ip Man is excellent throughout the series. He's obviously an accomplished martial artist.

Agreed 100%. The series is great and Yen is infectious to watch in action.

They did a great job building up the tension in 2 and 4. In 2 it was the arrogant boxer from the UK, and in the final one (4) it was the asshat, racist gunnery sergeant. Lol. I couldn't help but root for Yen and wanting to see him beat the crap out of those guys.

I think I also would've enjoyed seeing Bruce Lee take a crack at the sergeant. I think he would have done a masterful job of pissing him off with his showmanship and then beating him to a pulp.

I watched "Werewolves Within" on Firestick. Silly comedy-horror for a rainy Monday on the couch. I also watched "Night Teeth" on Netflix. It was decently entertaining for a vampire flick with a "Lost Boys-meets-Gossip Girl" feel. Lol!

It's still a decent watch, albeit no Skyfall or Casino Royale.

I'll think about it more,maybe. Sky Fall and CR were not good it must be said.
You know another name for Skyfall ?

I found them entertaining, but we all like what we like.

Unbelievable! I'll tell you something, when I see a review from a film critic and they give it a poor review it's probably a film that I would like.

That is a phenomenon I, too, have observed.

Yeah, saw this when it first came out but watched it again just yesterday. Superman was my first superhero when I was a kid. Used to watch the TV series when I was little, and of course read the comics. Seeing this movie struck an eerie chord with me.
