And there is always a chance that Stallone's botoxed frozen face might move enough to express an emotion.

Stallone looks pretty good for his age IMHO.

Finally saw Wick 4 and while i liked the first one I found the series went downhill like Keanu on the 222 steps leading up to Sacré Cœur. Thought the last one's iimplausibility was high until I saw the blind man!

I like the Wick franchise, but 2-4 have all basically felt the same. It hasn't felt as original and fun since the first one, IMO.

Do you find a stick of beef jerky attractive?

Saw the new Transformers today.

Horrific.

2/10 and that's being generous.

You are not alone in your assessment.

Agreed- I love unhinged Cage. 

I can also appreciate the roles he does where he shows how good of an actor he is. 

 

He was great in Renfield.

 

Meh, he did his Cage bit well.  Renfield was just another malnourishing junk food movie filled with nothing but empty calories, silliness and extra-exaggerated violence in a world were pain, death and gravity have no relevance.  Seems like I've watched hundreds of these hollow body franchise movies with my kids, I conveniently doze off during the high intensity fight scenes because they're too boring to keep my eyes open.  The only good movie I've seen recently that caught my attention was "The Whale" and my kids hated it. 😄

Yeah, its called- "now I can get the **** outta here".

Swedish video/ai artist does amazing work. This reminds me of Phillip K d.i.c.k.. (blade runner, total recall, a scanner darkly)

quite spooky.

It appeared as if he fell down 888 steps just before dawn. He couldn’t stop rolling.! Gawd, even the audience ended up LOL. 

I'm surprised this film hasn't been released yet but it seems stuff went on that caused some changes that needed to be done

This looks so good. Really dark part of history.

Love me some Scorcese....but I am going to wait and see what others say about this film because it will likely just piss me off. DiCaprio in the lead as the sympathetic white man lead is enough to get my gall. Maybe I'm wrong about it and it will be a good film, but I've seen too many movies where the show is told through the eyes of a heroic white man trying to save the misunderstood heathens. Just once put an indigenous man in that role for cripes sakes. Always, like all of history, told through the eyes of a white man. Just like Dances with Wolves etc. etc. I like the awareness these movies bring to the dark history, but I sure wish they would go with the true indigenous story without the white man intermediary just once. How we actually lived it, not how it was observed by others and not making some white guy the hero in our story.

Then it wouldn't be based on the book of the same name and it would avoid actual history.  It is a really well-told, sympathetic story and I highly recommend the book. 

That the agent was white is fact.  That he overcame other's racism to root out the powerful white people stealing Osage property (by murder) is fact.

Feel free to criticize the movie for other reasons, but DiCaprio's character (and his race) is essential to the telling of this story.

The book was selected as one of the best or notable books of 2017 by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Time, Entertainment Weekly, Boston Globe, Bloomberg, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, PBS, Seattle Times, Smithsonian, GQ, Slate, Buzzfeed, Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Outside, The Week, Star Tribune, Newsday, Kirkus, Library Journal, Marshall Project, Parade, History, Paste, Powells, and Barnes and Noble. Vulture named it the best thriller of the year. And both Amazon and Shelf Awareness chose it as the single best book of 2017. According to Literary Hub, it was also the best reviewed nonfiction book of the year.

Didn't know there was a book..don't care. For once let us tell our own history. Sorry if that sounds harsh but the white man's version just doesn't appeal to many aboriginals anymore. Book or not...it's probably not the story my people would tell.

Lol it's the same guy from the original! 

Can't believe I'm posting this on a football message board.....

 

Barbie is really good.  Very clever script, excellent cinematography and great acting.  I didn't get the fuss with Ladybird, but Greta Gerwig did an amazing job with this.

Helen Mirren as the narrator is a big bonus.

Believe the word of mouth.

Going next week in a small town theatre. Had hoped to do the Barbenheimer double-bill like so many, but that's not in the cards right now. New M:I this weekend, then Barbie next week. Hopefully Opp soon. Excited to experience the buzz...

All the above, and... surprisingly insightful. 

Went with the kids and they both really enjoyed it. 

I recommend it.
