I watched [I]Peppermint[/I] last night.
MY SISTER EILEEN (1955), directed by Richard Quine. Screenplay by Blake Edwards and Richard Quine. Starring Betty Garrett and Janet Leigh, with Bob Fosse, Tommy Rall, Jack Lemmon, Dick York and Kurt Kaznar. Choreography by Bob Fosse.
It might be a good idea for someone to do a revival of this musical on Broadway--or off Broadway--with a few extra scenes and songs, using Fosse's choreography. The movie doesn't really go anywhere, which is a a shame because they had a lot of material to work with. It's based on the short stories of Ruth McKenney, in THE NEW YORKER, about her experiences with her sister, Eileen, living in Greenwich Village in the 1930s. But the movie only gives a few anecdotes. Jack Lemmon's character is a heel, but he never really pays for being such a miserable lothario--he hunts women like he hunts game. The dance numbers are what make this movie worth seeing. Fosse, Rall, Garrett and Leigh do some great hoofing.

A coworker saw that flick when it came out. Called it "Death Wish with boobs".

Pretty much.
I watched [I]Ralph Breaks The Internet[/I] today. It was okay but I didn't like it nearly as much as the first movie.
Last Train To Busan
Didn't expect much, but was very impressed and entertained by this movie. I would highly recommend this movie, especially for fans of zombie movies.
[B]Bohemian Rhapsody[/B], a by the number music biopic that was also infinitely enjoyable due to an amazing performance, solid direction and of course, great music.
Purey by chance today, I decided to start rewatching MURDOCH MYSTERIES from the beginning with the pilot episode from 2008 and then I watched THE PRESTIGE (2006), which I've never seen before, not realizing that both would feature Nikola Tesla. It was odd the way these two overlapped with some of the same scenes concerning Tesla and his discoveries.
S1E1 "Power" takes place in 1895, as Tesla's power plant at Niagara Falls nears completion, while the events shown in THE PRESTIGE must take place in 1899 when Tesla was doing his experiments at Colorado Springs.
Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. A really well done animated movie.
The Big Lebowski. 4 out of 5 stars
[I]Serenity[/I] as I completed this year's [I]Firefly[/I] / [I]Serenity[/I] rewatch.
Underworld.Kate Beckinsale in leather is not to be missed.
Into the spider verse again. Wow loved Aquaman but feel like this movie kinda overshadows it. And took a bunch of the wind out of it ls sails for me.
I want an Animated MCU. Some of the stuff they do in this film wouldnt work in live action or would be hard. But man some of them fight sequence were smooth as hell and the movie had tons of heart
[B]Superman III[/B]
Stupid, but I like it. It's not really bad.
[B]Superman IV[/B]
This one is terrible, they weren't even trying to make a good movie here. I still had fun with it for the most part.
[B]Superman Returns[/B]
I really enjoy it.

I love the Underworld series for this reason.
