I''ve only saw Barbie, Oppenheimer, John Wick Chapter 4

You should specify and say that these are the highest grossing films domestically, not internationally.

Sound of Freedom made an absolute killing because it was a very low budget movie.

Saw Rebel Moon on Netflix, it was truly an awful film. Shame, I initially had high hopes for it (even when I noticed it was directed by Zack Snyder) but it sucked.

Characters that were the most simple(ton) one-dimensional with no logic or personality, a plot written for children (if those children were also rather dull) which was also a Magnificent Seven-esque clone. Visuals were good, but then these days all visuals are good with enough money thrown at them.

The film had zero charm, nothing interesting, nothing imaginative, nothing original, nothing worth watching. There was really nothing there.

I did notice though that Harvey Weinstein turned up in a role as a gay rapist.

This made no sense.

Talk about obscure 80’s films……

Raiders of the Lost Ark and Back to the Future won't be the same after seeing these:

All I want to know is how Indy survived the U-Boat trip.

Did not know it's the same submarine.

I'm watching the BBC's Edge of Darkness with Bob Peck a second time after several years. I think I'm enjoying it even more this time around as its one of those scripts with a lot of moving parts and I'm picking up more though it still can be hard for me to follow it at times. Its a fairly involved political drama with nuanced conspiracy elements so its a bit of a challenge for me to piece together along with the difficulty my ear has with some of the British accents but its very well done and acted.

There's a couple of scenes that really stand out to me in particular as being very well choreographed and filmed. One is a scene with actor Joe Don Baker carefully entering a suspect's home with pistol drawn as he moves from space to space all the while the camera follows in a pretty cool long shot of the whole thing. A very well thought out piece of filming. The other is when they infiltrate "Northmoore" which looks like they may have used an active coal mine for the location of the nuclear facility. There's a tense chase that finds Inspector Craven visibly and realistically winded and vomiting as he locks himself inside a communications room filled with telephones of which none work as its long since been decommissioned. However he finally finds one lone phone that providentially it seems still maintains a line out of the facility and it rings and rings. Cut to another scene of a police woman at a random location unknown as she is drawn to the basement to the sound of a mysterious telephone ringing. She finds it and picks up the receiver but its the wrong phone. She searches a little further until she finds a forgotten telephone in the back behind stacks of forgotten files. She picks up the receiver with baffled curiosity saying "hello?" to which Inspector Crane desperately shouts "GET ME PENDELTON"!

Saw a movie over the weekend...

"Level 16" -- Not a bad lower budget scifi movie. Creeped my wife out.

Kinda silly worrying about details like that when you also have an Afrika Korps which didn't exist in 1936, the German Army in Egypt in 1936 when Egypt was part of the British Empire and oh yeah, killer supernatural forces coming out of religious relics.

I want know how Indy and the girl leave the Nazi controlled island with the ark and back to Washington DC.

Re-read my latest post.

I watched Top Gun : Maverick on Netflix a couple of days ago.

I`m happy that I didn`t spend money to watch it in a theatre.

What a dissapointment.

What did you not like about it specifically?

I did not see "Maverick" in theater, I wish I had. Watched it twice since, I think it's better than the original. Story wise at least, the Hornet is not as impressive on screen as the Tomcat.

I was impressed by the in cockpit details like grabbing the paddle switch for G override.

Isn't the bombing run of Top Gun Maverick same as Star Wars Death Star trench run?

I saw it three times in theater and several times at home. Personally I think is as good if not better than the first. Ticked all the nostalgic boxes for me at least.

I have heard a third is being written. Suits me - would rather that than the Marvel drivel that keeps on being pumped out.
