What is the best recent movie you’ve seen.

Barbarian (2022)

I really enjoyed this horror film on Netflix. It's not the first AirBnB horror film (the Rental in 2020 was a very good one, but it was more focused on the characters being spied on). The Barbarian is more focused on a dark secret lurking within the AirBnb, one that haunts the renters and the owner until it is fully exposed.

Very creepy, unconventional horror film which made $45 million off a $4 million budget. I recommend it.

Did you guys watch the new Mission Impossible movie yet? It's pulled in $204 million in 3 days. This despite almost 3 hours runtime!

Not yet. I may wait until it’s available for streaming since I don’t really feel like being stuck in a movie theatre for three hours. I liked them all but my favorite is the first one which i’ve seen many times.

Lately i’ve been re- watching old classic favorites of mine. The other day i watched ‘High Plains Drifter’ which i still enjoy watching once in a while & consider one of the great western movies ever made. Right now i’m watching ‘The Last of Sheila’ again & within the next few days i plan to watch ‘Apocalypse Now’ & ‘The Deer Hunter’ again. I watch them every couple of years or so.

The other night i watched ‘Sinners’ which i enjoyed but wouldn’t say it’s the best movie i’ve seen this year. The next day i watched the horror movie ‘Until Dawn’ which i really liked. I read afterwards that the movie is based on a popular video game which i had never heard of.

But these past couple of weeks my evenings have been spent watching a very popular crime/murder mystery tv series from Iceland called ‘Trapped’. It’s two seasons of 10 one-hour episodes each. I just finished watching the entire series earlier tonight & i’m not surprised why it was so popular on a global scale. Tomorrow i’m hoping to begin watching the sequel called ‘Entrapped’ which is available on Netflix.

I'm a huge Mission: Impossible fan. So watching it in theatres ASAP was a no-brainer for me (IMAX).

I liked it...but I found it a bit disappointing. Especially since I loved the film before it (i.e. Dead Reckoning), and I felt it didn't live up to it. Great stunts as always, but it does run a bit long and it's not as focused, imho.

If I had to rank it, I'd probably put it 2nd to last to M:I 2. Hopefully it isn't the last M:I for Cruise, despite him saying/hinting that it is.

As of writing this, Fallout is the best for me. Or my favourite, I should say.

Fallout is pretty good...but it's also in good company with Ghost Protocol and Rogue Nation. Really tough call between the three as to the best.

That bathroom fight scene though....holy shit. One of the best brawl scenes ever (in huge part because of Cavill).

I watched The Whale a few days ago. I'm still recovering.

The Last of Sheila (1973)
Great mystery thriller starring an ensemble cast including James Coburn, James Mason, Richard Benjamin, Racquel Welch, Ian McShane, Joan Hacket & Dyann Cannon. This is the movie which was the inspiration for both Knives Out movies. I’ve seen it several times & i still find it an amazing & very entertaining classic thriller! What’s amazing is that it was co-written by legendary actor Anthony Perkins. The story is about a millionaire movie producer (Coburn) who decides to invite 6 of his showbusiness friends for a cruise on his yacht to the french riviera in order to play a murder/mystery game that he organized in order to try to find who was behind the hit & run murder of his wife a uear earlier. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars & will likely watch it again in a year or two. Highly recommended!

Je confirme que c'est malade ! Faux aimer le coté action intense (l'histoire est basique) mais encore des nouvelles passes inédite avec toute sorte d'armes.

Saw The Monkey recently. Overall enjoyable, but I do have a soft spot for movies a little deranged or where the humor is on the dark side. I really enjoyed Theo James in The Gentlemen on Netflix and thought he did a fine job. The movie does lose a little steam for me towards the end as it becomes more cartoonish and Osgood Perkins movies do seem to be polarizing, probably wouldn't watch it again. Still, had it's funny moments.

As an aside, I also ended watching an older movie as I had some down time. There's Something About Mary, such a classic. That opening scene where they're going to the prom, Cinema. Franks and Beans!

Warfare. Slow burn at first, but once it gets going, movie chunks. A bit of HBO's Generation Kill with that Alex Garland touch. Thought it wad really good, though there were some really graphic war scenes, may not appeal to everyone.

Not recently but I was surprised by Baby driver.
Loved the music synched with the pictures. The director did do on purpose some nice synchronization. If you didn't catch them you can check the Trivia in IMDB

I also watched SouthpawView attachment 97558

South Paw was good! I heard originally it was supposed to be Eminem as main actor.
Also watched Jake's workout for that movie, pretty intense!

Watched it the other night. Still not sure if the sex scene near the end was pornographic or just gross. Maybe both. As for the moral of the story i guess it’s that when it comes to great sex looks don’t really matter & a man who’s great in bed can get any woman he wants! Lol

Reminds me of an sp i used to see frequently. I mean…A LOT! Anyways one day a buddy of mine who wasn’t aware that i had seen her had bumped into her when his roomate was seeing her. He wasn’t really impressed & joked that one of our other buddies always raved about her. He said “Seriously i don’t know what he sees in her. This girl is as plain looking as they get. Yet she’s one of his regulars!” I told him that i had also seen her. I added “This girl is absolutely fantastic in bed! She’s a beast! I can’t wait to see her again!” Lol

By the way this is a good movie & probably one of the best movies to come from Mexico. It’s part horror/part science fiction & i’m not going to say more!

This weekend i rewatched those movies

I was underwhelmed with "Saturday Night Fever", when I saw it a few years ago. But "Taxi Driver" is a true Scorsese classic. It gets better with each viewing.
