Begin Again was a pretty good romantic drama.

Started watching Heart of Stone last night with Gal Gadot. I get that most movies use CGI and lots of it but the opening sequence was ridiculous, I continued to watch for about 30 minutes and then had to turn it off, the acting was stiff & the action unbelievable. The story is also ridiculous. I get some people will like it, I watch movies to escape for a bit but in my opinion this is just unwatchable.

He's also a big Gal Gabor fan as he's said many times, so maybe a bit biased. Movies like just about anything are subjective, one mans/womans treasure is another ones rubbish.

Like many people I like certain genres of movies and tend to stick with those areas. I sometimes watch older movies that were great when they came out and now find they don't stand the test of time, these also seem to be the ones in the genres that I like sadly. There has always been politics and messaging in movies but it has changed direction and intensity and I think that is putting a lot of people off current releases. The other thing is that with so many streaming services and the hunger for entertainment (especially during covid) Hollywood has been producing more movies to keep up with demand and as a result have been putting out a lot of steaming heaps of crap. Just my opinion though.

There's just such poor story telling.
ET Back to the Future Goonies Full Metal Jacket Stand By Me The Lost Boys Rainman BettleJuice Ferris Bueller's Day Off Good Morning Vietnam The SHining I could keep going... all original movies, some fun stuff there for older kids. Now it's super hero or it falls flat. |

I was just watching Edge of Tomorrow this past weekend for at least the 10th time.
It got me to thinking... There are certain films that I truly enjoy and will watch repeatedly when randomly channel surfing. Here's a few: Anything from John Carpenter: The Thing, Escape from NEW York, Big Trouble in Little China To Live and Die in LA anything from John Hughes - 16 Candles, Uncle Buck, Breakfast Club, Weird Science Aliens It Follows Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America Predator, Terminator Judgment Day There's more but these come to mind. |

^ And I didn't actually say "You watched 'Wrath of Becky' and actually liked that @#$#....what??????!!!!!!," did I? I said "I saw the first one and I thought it was awful."
