Just watched the 1960 sword and sandal The Minataur, starring Bob Mathias and Rosanna Schiaffino, and it was pretty good, with a decent monster costume.
Just got done watching "Shoot' em Up"
Well she said, "Wie heißt der Film der danach kommt? . . . Möchte den auch gerne sehen." [What's the film after it called? . . . Would like to see that, too.] So I said that the Harley Quinn movie is sort of the one that comes after. I guess that JUSTICE LEAGUE is the next one that came out, but it doesn't feature any of the same characters and it has a different tone.
I saw Birds of Prey: And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn. It was batshit crazy and pretty much felt like what I imagine a trip through an excessively violent funhouse high on LSD would look like. But I had fun watching it and despite some issues with certain parts of the film, it was well worth seeing. I gave it a 7 (call it 7 1/2 really) out of 10 on IMDB.

The Dirt on Netflix yesterday.
It was entertaining enough, standard rock music biopic stuff really. Anything from that period takes me back in a very fond way. There's no doubt the Crue were amoral arseholes at times though.

I assume that my friend has already seen WONDER WOMAN--because I recommended it to her when it came out, but now I'm not sure if she did see it. I know she saw JOKER, because that's the movie she watched just before SUICIDE SQUAD. She really loved JOKER, which might be why she watched SS next.
Not a movie yet sort of related to the movies--I've been watching the TV show MAVERICK and the last episode I watched was "Shady Deal at Sunny Acres." The premise is very similar to THE STING, which was made a decade later--and the creator of MAVERICK thinks so too, but THE STING producers never gave any such credit. It's a classic episode because it features all the recurring characters from previous episodes--including Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., as Dandy Jim Buckley. That character has a British accent even though Zimbalist is American--and I always wondered why Zimbalist was cast to voice Alfred on BTAS, but maybe it was on account of his performance as Dandy Jim.

Love me some McCarthy.
Haddish was absolutely miscast for the role. She does comedy. Angela Basset would have been way better but not in the age range I guess, but they could have found someone younger and better.
Good movie UNTIL the last 5 minutes. The ending just killed the movie for me and pissed me off for having watched it. The build up was leading one way I thought and they went with a cop out ass ending.
A Dogs way home. I though it was the Quaid movie. Guess that's a doga purpose or some shit. This movie had silly cartoon animals at some parts and had the cheese turned up to 11. All that said I didnt hate it.
HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES (1959), a Hammer film directed by Terence Fisher, starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee--made after Fisher had directed DRACULA with Cushing and Lee for Hammer, but still at a point when Hammer horrors were fairly tame. Which is unfortunate. Cushing makes a good Sherlock Holmes--he did so again almost ten years later in a series for the BBC--but I've always found THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES to be a poor test of Holmes' abilities--and the Hammer version of the story has even less detection. So with the lack of gore and the lack of mystery, this movie is ho-hum--Christopher Lee is stuck in the tepid role of Sir Henry Baskerville.
I like the Holmes short stories much more than the novellas. The short stories are concise and to the point--the novellas are too drawn out, with Holmes left out of the action for a good part of the books--A STUDY IN SCARLET is the only novella I really like and that's because it's our introduction to Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson. Yet THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES seems to be the story that gets the most adaptations in live action--usually with the movies trying to make more out of the horror of the hound than what is there on the page. And it's only a passable Scooby-Doo yarn.
