Wait.

Killers of the flower moon and Mario are coming on the next 2-3 months?

Have they even had trailers yet?

Hmm, they’ve both been pushed back to 2023.

I keep bookmarks for all the films I want to see and update the dates as I check them closer to the date. I often have to push it back once or twice.

I remember having to push back Wind River for about two years due to date changes, re-shoots, Weinstein etc.

Ahhhh that makes sense.

Wind River was great.

On that unpopular theme, to me Resurrections was better than the two sequels, and Blonde was a flat out masterpiece.

There is seriously * all to watch at the cinemas or anything coming soon.

How the * do Hoyts and Village stay in business?

Don't Worry Darling is out I believe, don't think I'll be going to see that one.
Smile is a horror film out now with a bit of buzz.
We're getting another horror film here late that I can't rememebr the name of, starts with a B.
And I'll be going to see Amsterdam this weekend with its star studded cast.

Hardly films that will pack out cinemas. Would be lucky to get a handful of people to each screening.

Probably go watch the Wog Boy this weekend, that’s how desperate I am.

Cinemas have seasons, it’s dumping ground season in the states right now

Bodies, Bodies, Bodies (2022, Cinema!):
A group of shallow, entitled millennials go to a remote house to paaaartay.
Thought it was slick with plenty of social commentary, some of which probably flew over my head. Judging from poor reviews it seemed people either hated the characters and/or expected some slasher-fest when it's more a bloody "one crazy night" type film. An easy 90 mins of escapism. Group and audience buy-in probably enhanced the experience. 7/10.

3:10 to Yuma (2007, Netflix):
A purist western with an ending that surprised. Straight and narrow Christian Bale agrees to escort notorious criminal Russell Crowe to the gallows in order to save his farm. Set pieces and practical effects were the highlight as was Crowe playing a charismatic rogue. Enjoyed that this was told straight without the popular 'wink, wink' style of direction that is prevalent now. 8/10.

They're mid sized movies yeah. Summer has now ended in the US and it's football season.

LEGION OF SUPER PETS

A bunch of us adults and kids went

A lot of adults only gettable jokes and humour in here that the young kids totally missed GOOD FUN!!!!

 

[windyhill]

Joshy !
Very good.

Day Shift… real B movie vibes, looks made on the cheap too. Jamie Foxx phoning it in, but Dave Franco is fun and some of the fight scenes are pretty good. 5/10 but it at least held my attention.

Moonfall (2022)

This movie is full of familiar and well-worn sci-fi tropes woven into a sold film that, while not a classic, is entertaining enough in its own right if you're willing to suspend belief and just let yourself get carried away for the ride. Just don't overthink it because the premise is at times ludicrous. That's probably the best way to watch this film. Roland Emmerich is good at apocalyptic and planet-destroying movies, and the CGI is decent. The acting performances are good enough not to stick out. A popcorn B-grade flick that's OK if you have some time to kill. 5/10

I was on a 14 hour flight and this seemed like the least worst movie to watch that I hadn't already seen. It was laughably bad. One action movie cliche after another. Cheesy dialog. Plot nonsensities - at one point the moon was destroying earth with its gravity yet Halle Berry and Patrick Wilson were next to the moon and had zero G.

It's a shame as a similar style disaster movie by Roland Emmerich, The Day After Tomorrow, is really good. But this one is 3/10.

Does Jamie Foxx phone it in? I thought the guy had two basic gears, understated drama, and hamming it up.

That’s all Emmerich does. Disaster movies. Apart from was it 10000 bc? I watch his stuff but he’s a bit like that Greek guy that says Aliens are real. He’s got some bank behind him but he turns out turds.

StarGate wasn't a disaster, action sci fi. And The Patriot action.

I don't know why you quoted me. I said it was ludicrous. Just because you watched it on a 14-hour flight, don't take it out on me.

I wasn't having a crack at you. In the absence of a thread for a movie I usually try to engage with a previous comment. Yours was a good summary.

Wog Boys Forever - Not a patch on the original 1999 movie (not that I was expecting this to be the case), not everything worked, but still fun and entertaining and definitely way better than the really bad 'Wog Boys 2 - Kings of Mykanos' from back in 2010 in terms of character development, plot and comedy. Had good cinematography in and around Melbourne, but some good ideas from the film seemed to fizzle out part of the way. For example the two main villains from this movie were a brother and sister duo who in some scenes together early on seemed to have an odd, flirty, too-close-for-comfort dynamic much like the twin brother and sister skating team from Blades of Glory. But this fades away and can't be observed in scenes with them in the second half of the movie.

Maybe they decided to stop sleeping with each other in an off screen discussion?

Hocus Pocus 2 (2022) 5.5/10.

As a 90s kid I really liked the first one, was hoping nostalgia would kick in with this one but it never did.

I'm not sure it's a kids movie, probably more an adolescent/mid teens audience. It was watchable as an adult but overall pretty boring.

Bette Middler at 77 basically feeling and looking the same at 77, 29 years after the original is impressive for her.

Boogie Nights (1997, Stan) -
About the pr0n industry in 1970's/80's LA.
Disappointed by this one tbh. Yes it's masterfully directed and decently entertaining but personally found the comedy more miss than hit. Instead this was a mostly depressing experience. Thought the 4.5hr rewatchables love letter podcast would have me come around but I still didn't connect with most of the humour. Still had some incredible highs though like the opening scene at the nightclub and the New Years Party. Both would be in the conversation for most skillful directed scene ever. 7/10.

Updated PTA film rankings-
Magnolia 10/10
The Master 9/10
Punch Drunk Love 8/10

Inherent Vice 7/10

The Reader (2008, Netflix) -
A high school student has a romance with a woman who turns out to be a former Nazi.
Speaking of disappointing. This was a mess. About the nature of guilt and accepting that ordinary people can do horrific things. Didn't click for me although Kate Winslet did the best she could with it. 4/10.
