Just started Cocaine Bear. Wish me luck.
This movie is INSANE. Good lord.

Terrible almost start to finish. Almost nothing that made the first two films so entertaining.
I was not a fan of this movie either. It felt like the ending lasted an hour.
MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1 - 7.9/10
Oppenheimer - 8.6/10
Part 2 of MI may alleviate my small issues with Part 1.
Oppenheimer owned for about 2:15, then the final act was a little tedious. But I think on a rewatch, I’ll enjoy that portion a ton more. Which is a common theme with me and Nolan movies (non-Batman variety). His time manipulating, or in this case jumping, always has me guessing at parts and I enjoy them much more the second time knowing what’s what.
We recently watched Air and Tetris. Both were good.

Oppenheimer is next for me, next week.
Saw Sound of Freedom
As a movie/entertainment, 7.5/10. Parts that had some bad acting or slow, but overall good movie.
As a "we need to see this to become aware of a real problem" 10/10.
Don't let some media outlets fool you, it does not dive into any QAnon conspiracy theories. Is a simple retelling (with some embelishments for sure) of Tim Ballard's mission(s) of saving kids in slaver in Central/South America.

Was Air the one about signing Jordan to Nike?
If so I am NOT a basketball fan but I agree, that movie was good. The actress who played Jordan's mom, Viola Davis, is amazing.
Loved her in The Help, Air, Fences, even Suicide Squad. I think shes a top 5 actress in all of Hollywood.
Probably why I liked Fences so much, her and Denzel (one of my favorite actors) together.
Looked her up to see other movies she was in, no way that woman is 57 years old, she looks 30-35.

Cannot wait for Cocaine Sharknado
Viola is amazing.
I also saw sound of freedom. Forgot to rate it. It’s a 7/10 for me. But as gut said 10/10 of you have to see it. And 10/10 if you want to feel something at the movies. I held back tears a few times in the theater.
John Wick 4.
Over-the-top, of course. But maybe the BEST action movie I've ever seen. Choreography was amazing. 10/10
Friday the 13th, 4, 5, and 6
We're seeing the original in the theaters on Friday night. 10:13 showtime.
You know what’s a fucking stressful movie? Nowhere, on Netflix.
The Holdovers was good.
Holdovers: 7/10. There is a better movie in there somewhere. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s there.
Regardless, they chose the second best version and it was very good. The acting of the 3 main leads was top notch.
My wife was curious about the kid, turns out he's never acted in anything other than maybe a school play. He was an actual boarding school student, I thought he was older. Kid nailed it.

Yeah, they kept bringing him back for auditions after he was seen at a play. All the actual actors kept losing out so they finally just hired him.
Die Hard - 10/10
3022....2/10, to be generous
It looked good, and had a couple of big names. But it was a slow 90 minutes of pointless crap. Complete with the artsy ending that wasn't deserved and meant nothing.

Christmas Vacation: 9.3/10

Cousin Eddie is the man.
Django Kill...(more words)
My main knowledge of spaghetti westerns comes from Eastwood's Dollar Trilogy. However, I'd bought an older friend who loves cowboy flicks a 40-50 movie DVD collection that has a lot of the lesser Italian cowboy titles in it and he was in the mood for a western last night, so I randomly picked one that happened to be this one.
Gotta say, it was an experience. Now, part of this was that we'd been drinking for a few hours, but I have to watch this one again at some time just to try to put the pieces together. As someone who's watched a lot of Italian cinema (mainly giallos and horror), none of what I saw surprised me (violence, sleaze, general lack of a coherent plot), but man, this movie was just glorious chaos. A lot of stuff happened that, I guess, kind of held together something resembling a story. The director LOVED extreme close-ups of peoples' faces when they were talking (all the better to notice the mouth movements and the dubbing weren't necessarily in sync). And I was lost most of the time, but was having a great time watching whatever the fuck I was watching.
Would recommend!
