^^^ I have not seen it yet...may not from what you guys say.

My sister said she saw it in NC and really liked it.
She also said the movie 'Respect' was incredibly good.

I'd like to see, Respect just to hear the music. The story could be a let down.

I don't know if this was mentioned before, but it's very enjoyable.

We started watching A Knights Tale the other night with mom, dad, kids, and my sister.

I'm sure you'll all be flocking to see this one to be released in October.

For all the Netflix viewers....first chance to see this blockbuster!

Stillwater with Matt Damon. Not your typical MD movie. This movie goes on forever.

Out of Time. No name actors. Sort of cheesey Scifi with time travel and aliens. Some semi subtle humor just for fun. This was way better than I expected.

SAS: Rise of the Black Swan (same as SAS: Red Notice) is free on Netflix starting today. One review said it'll likely be one to the best action movies for 2021. Okay- I'll try it. The girl looks bad ass- kind of reminds me of Sylvia Hoeks in Blade Runner 2049, maybe just for the haircut... Looks like a good cast of lesser knowns.

Watched this last night. Keaton, Maggie Q and Sam Jackson, mayhem and badassery, Not bad.

^ I liked the twists in The Protege and the very unusual dance between Maggie Q and Michael Keaton.

I wasn't that thrilled with SAS: Rise of the Black Swan. Decent action, crummy story. Ruby Rose looks to be a promising actress. Not likeable in this role, but that's the role, not her.

Finally watched Eastwood's "The Mule" last night.

Liked it but little fuzzy on what exactly happened there at the end when he was stopped by the two cartel soldiers. Sounded like they were given orders to kill him. Next thing we see is a bloodied up Clint driving his truck.

Then later when he's in court mention is made of 2 cartel members being killed.

Suffice to say - Clint killed the two that had detained him?

Just really odd it was left that way......

Otherwise a great movie, IMHO....

I saw that as well and wondered the same thing, looks like they didn't want to kill him and didn't. I spent a hour after the movie checking that out and the actual person that it was inspired by.
What is hard for me, watching these latest Eastwood movies is that he reminds me of a good friend who passed over Christmas, same build, same look, same quiet tone when speaking and was also pretty accomplished with everything he did, but very humble. Like the fact that he raced 935s when they were new at Daytona, Sebring ect, and he throws in that he was a amateur Racer.




A 935 wasn't a car that just anyone could drive because they could write a check as they were beast and expensive to replace.
Sorry to get off topic it just really reminded me so much of my friend that it has been on my mind all day.

Yea, it was bugging me not knowing what happened so I Googled the crap out of it until I found a answer, it just happened that I found out that is was actually based on a true story. Dr Strange is on right now.

Sorry, he plays a great redneck but I thought the movie sucked.

Sorry misunderstood; we agree

Black Widow. From the Avengers series. Scarlet Johansen, superhero. Not sure why I like these movies but I do. Reminds me of the old James Bond movies. Explosions, helocopters, bad Russian accents and avalanches.

Yes it was long but I liked certain aspects of the movie. Matt's character, Bill Baker had done a lot of work on himself and he certainly cared about his daughter.
