Pretty accurate. No FAKE NEWS at IMDb!
My own opinions tend to match up better with Rotten Tomatoes than IMDB.
Finally got around to watching Thief (1981) last night on my new Fire Stick (those still cool?)
7/10
Is it up for any awards this year?
Michael J Fox's jump-shot free throws in Teen Wolf might be the most ridiculous thing of all time. 10/10.
"Put that cookie down. Cookies are for closers."
SMH.

A friend of mine owed me a favor, and paid for me to see Ghost In The Shell.
Otherwise, I certainly could've waited for it to be on Netflix or whatever.
Upon watching it, I find myself thinking "damn, he wasted his money".
It's not nearly as trippy as the source material -- it's downright procedural.
Think "Blade Runner" knock-off and you have the right idea.
Watched Scarecrow w/ Pacino and Hackman on my Fire Stick last night. Had been meaning to for a while. Very good.
DADZIG wasn't kidding about Cruising. Holy shit, that was bad.
"YOU MADE ME DO THAT!"
You wearing the yellow hanky?
Just watched Sleepless. 5/10, go for it if you're in the mood to watch something dumb and fun for an hour and a half.
Going to have to check this out, probably way way better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleepl...ght_(2011_film)
Wilson with Woody Harrelson. Boring as hell, 4/10.
Can somebody go see Baby Driver and let me know how it is?
Thank you!
Seriously, I'm curious if Baby Driver is worth seeing on the big screen.
I'm off to see Spider-Man: Homecoming tonight, which I anticipate will be.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is all kinds of awesome!
Michael Keaton is really the best villain since Loki!
I haven't laughed so hard at a PSA since I was a kid!
I'd like the $1.50 I spent watching that Baywatch movie back.
The whole point of dollar theaters is if you don't like it, you go to another screen and see something else.Quote:

Here's another old movie review of a Blu-Ray that's been sitting on my shelf for over a year: The Babdook!
I liked it, it was creepy; it had a surprisingly sweet exorcism scene near the end. One of the stronger statements against untreated psychological trauma among caregivers I've seen.
I'm going to try to watch more of these older films I keep getting for birthdays/Christmases and give them reviews. Gotta get to 1000 posts somehow.
Next on the list: The Pawnbroker
Sol Nazerman runs a pawnbroker shop in Harlem, he's a concentration camp survivor and, much like in Elie Wiesel's famous ending to Night, left the experience as a walking corpse. He is incapable of emotion or empathy; his customers are desperately attached to the present, but he cannot escape his past. He casually and inadvertently hurts anyone attempting to connect with him, from the woman heading the local community center to his eager young Hispanic assistant Ortiz (who is trying to make something of himself and get away from bad influences, so three guesses what happens to him by the end of the film).
Rod Steiger won an Oscar for his portrayal of Nazerman, and his contrast with everyone around him is certainly intriguing. There is life and hope swirling all around him, but he is an unmoving void, going through the motions of life but deliberately shunting all attempts to involve him in something beyond his embittered memories. The B&W cinematography is quite nice. It's not full of dramatic light-and-shadow contrast like you'd find in In Cold Blood, say, but it does its job in setting a claustrophobic mood at the pawn shop.
This post is already too long so I'll conclude by saying that it was a good film, worth a watch.
It (that is, It) was pretty good. I never read the book or saw the Tim Curry miniseries, but It certainly felt like a Stephen King work. Also, It had good character work (though It was a bit silly). Check It out!
'It' also has Love Removal Machine
Couldn't make it through The Little Hours.
Hadn't heard of it but looks awful.Quote:

Definitely not for little kids -- was surprised to see a family bring a 10 year old.
Here's the Thor 4D revue:
Next old movie review: Rashomon
This is silly, I'm not writing a review of Rashomon. Watch it yourself, it's only 90 minutes long. (I will say that the final fighting scene is a great payoff for the rest of the film.)
Another old movie review: The Ring
A spooky allegory of the annoyance of chain letters. It's been parodied so much that it didn't really have much to offer scare-wise. Piecing together the ghost girl's past was kind of interesting, I guess, and Naomi Watts is very attractive. I don't know, what do you want from me? I'll watch the Japanese version at some point, I'm sure, maybe it's better.
Just saw Vice. It was okay.
Fuck Anthony Bourdain. You can't make your fame on being an asshole to people (no matter how skilled you are at your profession) and then kill yourself. If there is one thing us assholes know it's that we have to live with the shit we create for ourselves. Fuck him 100%Quote:

Most '90s superhero movies sucked.
This didn't suck, but wasn't mind-blowing.
Mildly entertaining.
After watching The Happytime Murders, I think I'm back to not watching movies anymore. 4/10
