Nomadland.

A snoozer in the end, I kept waiting for something to happen.

Was expecting more, like sweeping scenic vistas, interesting places.. but no...

Most interesting part to me was the interior of an Amazon distribution center. Cleaning the grill at Wall Drug reminded me of my job at Chicken Unlimited.

She gets "Best actress" for exhibiting zero emotion or facial expression during the entire movie and always looking her worst. Except when her beloved plate is broken, then there was a little emotion.

Reminded me of all the transients that seem to continuously come and go from this town. They all have white vans and live down by the river.

I think I'll skip Nomadland. But I'm still a big fan of Frances McDormand, odd as she may be. "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" is excellent. I know it's been mentioned here before.

Day After Tomorrow. 2004, disaster move move with Quaid and Gyllenhaal. Long hood Porsche gets nailed by a flying bus. Guy trying to start uses a key on the right side....musta flipped the negative or something.

Saw Nobody in a theater today. It was very enjoyable. Available to stream for $19.95 at this time. The trailer gives too much away, in my opinion.

Yes,I really like Frances' Movies: Fargo and 3 Billboards were both great, but this last movie not so much. Oh yeah and the song in Three billboards by "Townes van Sandt" "If I had a buckskin stallion" is a GREAT song

Don't die of shock...instead of a pool matchup for my nightly late night viewing on youtube, I stumbled across an old western. Not all that old, made in 2001. Great cast.
"Warden at Red Rock". James Caan playing a prison warden, set in 1910. If you haven't seen it...it's a damned fine flick. (edit) Should warn the youngsters here...no nudity or computer tricks. They may not like it...

Dont breathe. Three robbers break into a house. The blind resident locks them in. Much terror ensues. Not a bad movie.

Knives Out.

Very enjoyable.

i'm watching this movie now. I am in it for four days. I get some watching in, and I get weary and tap out.

it is good, but it is kinda slow. slow but interesting, if that makes any sense.

It picks up steam.

I had high hopes for Without Remorse. I’m a big fan of Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell, and Guy Pierce. The Tom Clancey connection I read was thin. The action was good and it’s very watchable, but that’s all for me. Maybe this will lower your expectations. Streaming for free on Amazon Prime.

"Cold Pursuit" was on cable FX this weekend. Good revenge flick with Liam Neesen doing the revenge!

He has a particular set of skills for that.

+ 1 more. Sort of an old school mystery.

I missed Terminator: Genisys back in 2015. I actually like this one. It's like the original timeline, but with changes from previous time travels. It's got the occasional glimmers of humor, and a lot of references to past episodes in the series. Not keen on the casting of Kyle Reese with Jai Courtney, who is better at bad guys (the bad guy from the first Jack Reacher), but what can you do.

Just finished watching "Papillon". Been a while since I've watched it and forgot what a freaking amazing movie it is.

Dustin Hoffman is fantastic!

I forgot too about Anthony Zerbe as the leper colony chief.

That Mother Superior that turned him in always ticks me off!

I watched it again this weekend. That kid is cool.

Baz 05-12-2021 04:14 PM

Not a movie - the TV show Star Trek - "The Man Trap" - the salt monster episode......

JackDidley 05-12-2021 04:32 PM

Hunger Games. Watched all of them last week. You need to watch them in order.
