...interesting ....
Not sure what kickapoo joy juice was fed to the critics but its a bit of a hot mess which might be due to the source material.

a very slow burn but relaxing on a warm tropical night
Blast from the past
2 cycle motorcycles, miniskirts and well .....the 70s
How many old bikes can you spot....?
Think there is even a red 305 Superhawk in the mix
Schlocky enough to make my teeth ache....

But then there was Leon The Professional and Portman who was a similar age tho that was then.....
Heger is a fine actor at 11
Maybe they will let her watch it in a few years.

"Honey Don't" (Netflix) - Starring Margaret Qualley as Honey, Chris Evans as the stereotypical self-serving Evangelical preacher, Aubrey Plaza as the records cop, and Charlie Day as the police detective who keeps hitting on Honey. Honey is a lesbian, so that just don't play. This is a weird little movie, but quite good. It flips the script a lot. It's a Film Noir but takes place in a small town, in the desert area near Bakersfield, California, so it's unrelentingly bright. Honey is the "hard boiled detective." See it but don't show it to the kids, unless they're old enough to drink.

Gave this a shot last night:
I fell asleep through part of it, not sure if I will finish it. The first 2 movies are some of my fav movies, this new one has the "new" method of telling stories, where there is a ton of activities happening, which take no effort in accomplishing something, effectively making it nonsense. Also too much exposition at the beginning, then drops you into the characters doing something which is suppose to be important, that "new" way again. Just show us! The leads Greta, I could almost give a pass as she's easy on the eyes, but acting is way off. Jared, meh.
Saving grace some cool motorcycle/light cycle stuff, with some interesting directing style around it.

I decided to give it a pass as soon as I saw Leto was in it. My feeling is that they needed someone to play a soulless AI, so the choice was obvious.Gave this a shot last night:

Wrapped up a few more movies
Pretty meh. Even with Ana De Armas
Revisited this one again, been a while, it's ok, people seem to like it more then average. Cole Hauser certainly is much differernt looking these days
Naturally followed by this. I find to be much more enjoyable, just fun, great cast, interesting visuals, not to heavy, but well told.

Revisited this guilty pleasure:
It could have been much better, has a few oddities about it, but for me it's very entertaining.

It was OK, but the only thing that hit right for me was the, "Hey, this is the US of A" line.Revisited this guilty pleasure:

Funniest line of the night wasn’t in the movie, although there were many, it was my wife saying, wow Chrloris Leachman looks great!
If you haven't seen the documentary about Renner's accident and recovery, you should. I think it's still available on Disney+.
Been a while since I've seen the original Matrix and then fired up second and realized not seen either of the sequels.
Know what I'm doing for the next few hours. Really good 4k HDR transfer on the second one. First one too dark but watching in day time did not help tho was cloudy day.

I have seen a couple of movies in the last month that were really good.
First as some have brought up all ready Frankenstein. Acting was superb and sets equally good. Story was great and while it deviated some from the book I do believe it held on to the major themes. The book is a masterpiece and I think gets looked over by the masses as there are so many adaptions in movies that people just think it is a big angry monster story. Could not be further from the truth. Book is highly recommended as a first read then the movie.
A short story by Steven King is The Long Walk. Very simple film, all about character development in this bleak dystopic world. The simple basics of the story is a bunch of young men aka teenagers are part of what is essentially a game the long walk. Whoever wins gets a ton of money in a world where everyone is poor and one wish (not the magical type). The catch is there can be only one winner. There are some rules, but basically stop to long and you are out.... as in dead.
I am a big Steven King fan, love his story telling and love the worlds he crafts. He does not delve deep into what makes this world the way it is, it is simply focused on what is and how the characters handle it.
