Venom 2-Eddie wearing a Detroit Lions jacket. I see what you did there. Kinda expected it to be be bigger in scope. but the Easter egg at the end made up for that.

Creed 2.

I thought it was a fun flick.

Finally sat through all of A Man from U.N.C.L.E. the other day. So I, I think, I'm a Guy Ritchie fan...? Definitely was at one point, held him pretty high but I've got to question it so broadly at this point. Snatch is a solid favorite of mine, Lock, Stock is not as high but it's up there too. I'm hesitant to put Rock N' Rolla in the top three so for now #3 is The Gentlemen. Ritchie has a type and when he does that, they usually run very similar but still entertaining. It's the ones outside of the mid-level gangster movies that I've not warmed to.

Anyway, didn't grow up on Man from U.N.C.L.E. reruns, I didn't even see any of them til' about 5 years ago on METV. Since then my 60's TV spy trilogy hierarchy goes, Peter Graves Mission: Impossible >>> Man from U.N.C.L.E. >> I Spy. Granted I've not seen many of the U.N.C.L.E. episodes but I found the pompousness of Cavil's Solo was way more than Vaughn's from the T.V. show, and Vaughn's made a Hollywood living off of pompous. I get that's the point but even then the movie was pretty dull in a way, granted for what- half dozen episodes I've seen of the the show, really isn't. Also not being super familiar with the show, made the twist with the girl a bit of a payoff, but hell I've NEVER seen that show. I'm more aware of the Dell comic version, even that is just in passing. I will say these older Hugh Grant roles are winning me over compared to the romantic comedy giant Hugh Grant roles that I never made, nor will make time for. He's hilarious. All his movies are cool to look at but the substance here isn't real inviting. The torture scene was a thing in the TV show but it went on a little long and dude shook that **** off like he was still playing Kal-El. Cool for cool's sake is something several of his characters are guilty of and this was the flagship for that practice. Ending was lame, tough to find any cool about this movie other than the opening credit graphics and the choice of Nina Simone at the front and back end credits. Forgettable.

Next up for me is King Arthur.

I liked Man From UNCLE more than you, but I agree the ending sunk the movie. Ritchie breezed through the assault on the island castle, which should have been a great battle scene, and made the climax a tired road chase.

[CliffHanger2]

Bruised- I really tried to dislike this movie. But as an Actress and Director Halle Berry took it to another level-Respect.

Creed

I enjoyed it more than the second one.

Justice League. Both the theatrical version and Snyder cut. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the latter is how the film should have been released in 2017. Though it probably would have been cut down to three hours.

Army of Thieves, a prequel to Army of the Dead which I have not watched. I enjoyed it as a cheeky self aware heist movie.

Having said that I didn't understand at the climax spoilers:

where Hacker Girl gets caught after figuring out that Brad Rage and the cops were on to them. Why was she still hanging out at the casino anyway? Why wasn't she on the truck with Burgler Girl and Nervous Man?

end of spoilers

True Story-Kevin Hart doing his Joe Pesci thing lol. With Wesley Snipes. Maybe his best collabo yet.

I seem to remember she wasn't able to get to the truck and was trying to divert the cops

Ah,ok thanks!

[ed2962]

Death of a Salesman 1985 with Duston Hoffman and John Malkovich. Classic! The themes presented in the original play written in the late 40's still are relevant.

I'm rewatching "Motherless Brooklyn" (2019)
