I heard the old Taco Bells used to be good too. Here is the original enchirito before it caused bowel explosion in Monkey.
@supersonic Yes. I thought Michael Keaton did a good job with his role. You don't even realize what a bad dude Ray Kroc is initially because at first he just comes across as a desperate, over the hill loser who wants to leech off of someone else's successful idea. Nick Offerman is also quite good in this. The movie was an interesting piece of corporate history with good acting. @bfun I don't doubt that McDonalds was good at one time. But very few restaurants are able to maintain high quality when they expand beyond a few locations. The food may be consistent, but it's usually consistently mediocre.
Split I was wondering if M Night Shamalamadingdong had finally learned how to make a thriller movie without resorting to preposterous twists. He hasn't. Also, James McAvoy is a decent actor, but he did not have the acting range to pull off the multiple personalities. The cringe factor was off the charts with some of them, especially when he was playing the kid.
lol, James McAvoy transforms into a giant, veiny penis monster version of himself that kills an old lady by hugging her too hard. If I had paid money to see this, I probably would have also wanted to throw poo at the screen.
i paid to watch the visit where a character threw feces at the screen. twist! i'm still waiting for a meta-twist from shamalyan, but i doubt such a day will come.
The Visit The kids in this movie were super annoying. Especially the little wanna be gangster boy who thinks he can rap. The most satisfying part of the movie was when he got a poop filled adult diaper slammed in his face.
The Fate of the Furious Cars go vroom and stuff goes boom. I actually thought this was better than most of these movies. Putting Vin Diesel in an anti-hero role where he doesn't say much while having The Rock and Jason Statham as the main heroes carrying the movie seemed to work better.
Die Hard 2 is a very dumb movie. The part with the ejection seat (on a cargo plane no less) went full retard.
Apparently, Die Hard 2 is the only one John McClane can survive. It would take 14 lives to survive all the DH events.
Independence Day: Resurgence The first one may have been a little stupid but this one went full retard. Still entertaining enough to give it 5/10.
Face/Off Watched this again after many years. Still one of the greatest hard-R action movies ever made. So many awesome one liners and over the top John Woo directed action scenes. They take one of the most outrageous movie premises ever and actually make it work. This was also back when Nic Cage still gave a shit, and he goes all in on the ridiculous face changing idea. 9/10
Batman: The Killing Joke The movie was a little unsettling and not in a good way. The writers have been criticised by some and perhaps rightfully so. 4/10 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 About as good as the first. Not better, not worse, but less pleasantly surprising. 8/10 Beauty and the Beast 2017 I liked it better than the cartoon version but my hunch that Emma Watson might have been a bad casting choice was partially correct.
Ex Machina 7.5/10 I haven't been keeping up with movies like I used to and just happened to see this pop up for free on Amazon Video. It was well shot and acted with an intriguing plot. I liked the slower pacing and small cast, which kept the intellectual story from getting too muddled. I'm watching a Chan Wook Park movie next. I expect dysfunction and disturbing content.
Alien Covenant ----spoilers----- Much better than Prometheus and Alien 3 and 4. Not as good as Alien and Aliens. Probably the bleakest Alien movie yet. I'm pretty sure that entire colony ship became a critter snack. Also finally shows us how the Engineer weapons system works as it's detonated over an Engineer city. Fassbender was good in this. He plays both a hero and a villain. I think Ridley Scott mostly redeemed himself with this after making a confusing mess of a film with Prometheus. 8/10
Gifted Cute movie 8/10 John Wick 2 One of the best action movies I've seen in recent years. Way better than the original John Wick. Great action scenes that are mostly stuntwork with very minimal CGI. Explains the secret world of the assassins better than the first movie. My only complaint is that it has no ending. It just sets things up for John Wick 3. 9/10
