Last movie you watched......

I thought it was pretty enjoyable for home viewing. Nanjiani is great.

 

Wife said one star on Rotten Tomatoes. The Big Sick was hilarious. Like him on Silicon Valley too.

 

This can also be used to describe 90 percent of the content Netflix produces.

 

My biggest problem with Netflix content is the sound editing. A good half the time, I can't hear what the character is saying — no matter the movie or TV series.

 

See also Triple Frontier from a year ago with Ben Affleck et. al. It had potential, but it's like Netflix doesn't even require a script to greenlight a movie - all they need is a pitch and a lead actor.

 

Or the Mark Wahlberg Spenser movie.

 

I'm truly surprised the Parker estate signed off on that. Making Spenser an ex-con? Seriously? Let alone allowing a midget to play Spenser. Blasphemy!
Make no mistake - I like Wahlberg. I like having him shoot films in Boston to help his local peeps - but goodness gracious. Why even call the character Spenser?

 

I caught "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" last night and liked it much more than I anticipated.

 

“The Lovebirds,” which is new on Netflix, and “Long Shot,” from 2019, are two romcoms that were fun to watch.

Kumail Nanjiani makes up for the stupid “Stuber” in Lovebirds and has good chemistry with Issa Rae. Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen make an odd couple in Long Shot.

 

Watched Onward. It was much, much better than I expected it to be.

 

It is a horrible movie. But as a girlfriend once told me a long, long time ago, this is one of those rare movies centered around the female gaze.

All those cute young Brat-Packers. Who cared about what awful line readings that came out of their mouths?

 

Underwater. Decent throwback to the 80s monster genre.
