Watched John Wick 4 again.
I am sorry I missed it in a theater as the Sound adds a lot more to the movie. I initially watched it on a Plane ride and thought it was meh.
I will upgrade the meh to pretty good as the sound and cinematography were top notch and little nuances throughout the movie added to it. The fight through the apartment, shot overhead, looked really cool and the fight on the Champs-Elysées was equally impressive. The fight on the steps reminded me of a video game where you had to fight to the top and if you lost you got knocked down and had to start over. It was pretty decent.
I really respected John Wick on how he tried to "fix" all the lives he fudged up and tried to set them all even before the end...
It looked like there may not be a 5 but there are subtle hints that not all are as they seem...
And the dude with the Dog, why was he there? He did some stuff but just seemed to always be in the background but I did love how he seemed to change his motivation through the movie.
So yeah, the more I talk about it, the better I liked it...It's a solid 7 now...
Glad you liked it kraz. Not a movie for a plane.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
Personal Shopper (2016) directed by Olivier Assayas, starring Kristen Stewart. Drama with Stewart as the personal asst to a celebrity in Paris. She hardly sees her boss face to face and spends much of her free time trying to contact the spirit of her deceased brother. She ultimately begins a "relationship" with an unknown person contacting her via text. While there are some thriller elements, I'd say it's more a character piece.
I haven't seen a ton of Stewert's work, but I was impressed with her here. Moody and dark and mostly smart, I really enjoyed it.
movies ive watched on Tubi this weekend
Santa Claus the Movie
House Party 1
David Cronenberg's Rabid
Ghostheads which was ok but not great.

M.I Dead Reckoning. Top notch action thriller. Probably a case of Tom going to the well one too many times. But I'm interested in seeing part 2.
Arrival. I remember seeing this on HBO a couple of years ago and didn’t appreciate it for what it is at that time. A genuinely thought-provoking film about human perception, communication and memory. The twist at the end is pretty decent. Not shocking, but a solid landing.
