Last movie you watched......

A Haunting in Venice (based not incidentally on a novel called Halloween Party). I love whodunits and this was pretty good. Better than Death on the Nile.

 

Stumbled upon both of these as well. I probably liked Fair Play a bit more but my wife was lying next to me all night as I watched and at one point she said, "This sounds so boring."

And agreed on Reptile. It was creepier than I was expecting too, as far as just the tone and the music. And is it the first movie designed to make you wanna buy new faucets?

 

"Fair Play" was okay for a "free" movie. It was interesting in changing the traditional roles of who is taking advantage of who and how a woman navigates the cut-throat world of high finance.

"Reptile" was a bit more enjoyable for a free movie. I've always enjoyed Benicio. The story is again a bit different which is a positive. (I really used to enjoy Silverstone; I understand women mature differently then men but she's no longer the youngster I recall).

Latest freebie was "The Burial" with Tommy Lee Jones and Jamie Foxx. Foxx is great as the outlandish PI lawyer. Fun time (not so good from a lawyer's POV, but most won't care).

 

“No Hard Feelings” was pretty good. Solid laughs. Sweeter than I expected. I enjoy Jennifer Lawrence.

“Pain Hustlers.” Emily Blunt is really good. Chris Evans plays a solid sleaze bag.

 

The Black Demon.

Giant shark, oil rig.

You can guess the rest.

 

The Holdovers. Good holiday flick. Fantastic performances from the three main actors.

 

That’s on the list to see.

 

What Happens Later. I saw it so you don’t have to. Awful.

 

Damn!! I’m in theatre NOW!!

 

Hope you ordered some unexpected magical realism in the second act along with your popcorn

 

No but I got a rain dance tube . I thought it wasn’t too bad.

 

David Fincher's "The Killer" on Netflix. Big fan of Fincher's....and it is a decent second-tier effort. Michael Fassbender is well-cast as the title character in this globe-trotting revenge thriller. Expertly staged action sequences and atmospheric cinematography.

Overly reliant on narration (only some of which is funny), you have to sit through a lame joke featured on the Crown....and his series of aliases are pretty stupid.

85/100
