Last Movie You Watched.

Thanks for the Red Dog and Summer of Soul recs, PG. I have already told my friend from Oklahoma about the former.

The other night I watched Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Took me a while because the wife had already seen it without me. Very entertaining, very well done. I have complex thoughts about Leo DiCapprio, in general. He does great work but it's often not long before you are seeing through the character to Leo the actor, up there often trying a little too hard. And so I thought he was perhaps perfectly cast for this. And he has some incredible scenes, because he really is capable of great acting.

Last night we watched this new Steven Soderbergh caper film No Sudden Move (HBO Max). It's from the guy who brought you Ocean's Eleven Twelve Thirteen and it shows. Also pretty well done but it's virtually 100% plot and it has twists and turns and when Delta 9 gets involved I find I have a harder time keeping track of things, which in a movie like that can become a problem. YMMV.

That's what the wife and I plan on watching tonight.

Also watching tonight.

Soderbergh, of course, is much more than just the Oceans movies. Anyone who hasn't seen The Limey should jump on that immediately. And if you want to check out something really comically bizarre, watch Schizopolis.

Just watched Bill Duke?s Deep Cover last night. Criterion just released it so I grabbed it on a whim. Was a great watch. They did a wonderful job with the release.

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain. What a somber film. His friends give good insight on his life and character, who he was behind the camera and how it was working with him on the shows.

Red Dog on Hulu. HIGHly suggested. Legendary strippers telling tales of their heyday in the late 70?s. Lots of drugs and characters. Some tragedy along the way, of course, but mostly good dirty fun. Check it.

Watched this last week and it was entertaining to say the least.

Watched The Suicide Squad the other night. Great flick - hard R but a solid movie, funny and violent and you really don't need to know anything about the DC Comics universe to appreciate it.

The wife and I watched it yesterday afternoon. Pretty good, I think. You can tell it's the DCEU version of Gardians of the Galaxy. James Gunn uses a lot of the same actors and style of humor. But it's way more gratuitous that GotG.

[Spolier]Really looking forward to the Peacemaker TV show coming to HBO from James Gunn now[/spoiler]

i really enjoyed the woodstock '99 doc on hbo max.  i remember doing the amazing 4 show phish run that weekend which ended at deer creek with trey thanking us for being us and then playing the song Woodstock. 

the doc didn't mention that phish put on a large scale festival just a short ride from woodstock during the same heat wave just a week or two earlier.  they also did it again to close out the year.

i recall being so happy i was in my little phish bubble at that time and off the grid of popular music.  if it was all going to blow up there was no place i'd rather be than in florida at the end of december.

Yeah I loved the Woodstock '99 doc. Crazy look into where popular music and the typical "concert/party" scene was like at that time. Definitely a strange lineup after looking through it. Didn't realize it was so big on paper view too, kinda forgot about that. Moby's interviews were great.

Mandibles. French, by very strange filmmaker Quentin Dupieux.

It's about these two really dumb guys who find a giant fly in their trunk, and decide to train it to get rich. As anyone would do in a similar situation.

It's like a deadpan, surrealist Dumb and Dumber. Highly recommended.

No Time To Die

Continuing the streak of seeing every Bond flick in the theater starting with A View to a Kill.  I gotta say though, one of my favorite aspects of the Bond franchise has always been the stunts.  When you have CGI fist fights, you've gone too far.

I watch a lot of movies but don't take the time to post them... But the mention above of CGI fights reminded me of something that I hated about Malignant. Saw it on HBOMax over he weekend and it wasn't great... kind an origin story for a wannabe franchise that I hope doesn't take off.

That said, it devolved into a couple action sequences that were jarring twitch because they played like video game cut scenes with not only impossible movements by the characters but impossible camera movements. It took me right out of the film.

Anyway, terrible movie but a fun time until that shit.

That movie was awful.  The "reveal" was cool, though.  So at least there 5 seconds or so that were enjoyable.  Would've been nice if they threw in some gratuitous nudity to reward the viewer.

Finally saw Dune. Not bad, but the lead actor needs some work on showing his emotions. Also: that Hans Zimmer guy is phoning it in on this one, going through the motion with overcrowded orchestral outbursts.
