Last movie you watched......

Indeed. Current, too. Sleeper KGB agent - same as it ever was.

I don't know why Sean Young's career flatlined and did some reading on it. Did not get along well with others. Sued by James Woods for stalker behavior. Substance abuse problems. Started with losing the Catwoman role in the Burton Batman sequel and before she knew it she was doing voice-overs for a video game.

 

If you have James Woods — James Fucking Woods — taking out a restraining order on you, you're in the batshit crazy mode.

Loved Woods in Salvador. And Jim Belushi before whatever TV show that was that Courtney Thorne-Smith whored herself for.

 

Watched Coming 2 America last night.
I love love loved the original
The sequel is easily the worst sequel ever made.
The barbershop scene was the only time I laughed in the whole movie.

 

Beverly Hills Cop 2 would like a word with you, @Chef2. We won't talk about the third installment.

 

They played the hits and the amount of characters brought back was impressive ... although a missed opportunity to have Cuba Gooding Jr. in the barber’s chair.

Leslie Jones wasn’t as bad as I feared she would be; Tracy Morgan was decent too.

Not the best sequel, not the worst. I’m thankful I watched at home for “free” instead of in the theater.

My expectations weren’t high for this one.

 

BHC2 can have a word with @Chef2 right after Caddyshack 2 is done with him.

And BHC2 belongs nowhere near the list of worst sequels.

 

Captain Fantastic. Two thumbs up.

Viggo Mortensen raises his kids in the woods, where truth and transparency are a way of life. They even celebrate Noam Chomsky day.

Viggo also goes full frontal nude.

 

The Town, again. Still good.

 

I watched In and Of Itself on Hulu twice last week. I watched it once by myself, and then convinced the family to all watch it last night. Mrs. Flip and the 16-year-old daughter liked it. The 14-year-old son did not.

Derek DelGaudio performed a magic show -- and that sells it short; it was way more than magic -- in a small theater in New York 500-plus times, and a bunch of the shows were recorded and put together for this film. There's a lot of audience participation, but not in the "watch me pull a quarter out of your ear" kind of stuff. Folks in the audience were crying, and Mrs. Flip and I got a little teary-eyed at times as well. This was really, really good. (There were lots of celebrities in the audience shots, including one big, BIG name.)

Did I mention this was really good?

 

Brian’s Song. Greatest made for TV movie ever, greatest sports movie ever. The first movie where it’s ok for men to cry.

 

The Magician Who Wants to Break Magic (Published 2017)

He's incredible.

 

I'm on a magic kick now, so I watched The Prestige last night. Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are magicians who keep trying to one-up each other, and the outcomes of their one-upmanship keep getting more and more consequential. Had some twists and turns I wasn't expecting. Really enjoyed it. It was a long film, though, 2 hours, 10 minutes.
