dbunting Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Watched Tag today at the movies. Tell you what, it was funnier than I expected. It is just a light hearted comedy, that goes to some really, really dark places, about a group of guys who are life long friends. It's based on a true story strangely enough, a group of guys who started playing tag as kids and have continued it for like 30+ years. Even show some home video clips of them doing it at the end. Don't get me wrong this is not a great movie with great writing, it has a solid cast and damn if the whole theater wasn't laughing a lot. Maybe hearing others laughing so much sways my opinion IDK but I enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Watched American Made, which I thought was pretty good. It’s based on a true story about pilot Barry Seal who ran guns for the CIA and drugs for the Medellin cartel in the 80’s. Interesting story, especially if you’re into that kind of stuff (Narcos, Cocaine Cowboys, etc). It’s directed by Doug Liman who seems to get the best out of Tom Cruise these days (he also directed Edge of Tomorrow). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was massively entertaining. I ended up binging it this weekend and it was really fun. Wolf was fantastic throughout. Really enjoyed both his and Tiger's story arcs.

DMC Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just watched Red Dragon, for some reason. Maybe I'm a masochist but I remember getting really into Harris' books and even Manhunter (the Brian Cox Lecter) as a kid, so I tried it. Gotta say, I have a hard time watching Ed Norton these days without thinking he rewrote the script to make himself seem even more awesome than he was supposed to be. He should sue Marvel, I think he has a case. I'd even bear witness, but only if Norton rewrites my testimony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The last Transformers movie is available on Amazon Prime, so I watched it over the course of 3 nights, because it was so godawful, I couldn't watch it straight up. Michael Bay didn't even try with this one. Even the explosions sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Transatlantic flight last week let me catch up on some films. The Disaster Artist was as bizzare and as entertaining as expected. Terrific performance from James Franco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I caught the premiere of Taylor Sheridan's Yellowstone, starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Reilly . I liked it. Some standard tropes and plot devices, but it worked for me. Doesn't hurt being filmed in a beautiful location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was insane, heavy handed and batshit crazy but I liked it. I thought it was excellent and didn’t really find it heavy handed at all. I mean - it’s not as mysterious as some might say and certainly has some clear metaphors but I think the whole last 20 minutes or so really affected me. It was really well made and deeply shocking in a couple of places. I didn’t find it scary - but definitely unsettling and loved how it turned from claustrophobic home invasion to full on Biblical madness. I felt it was like watching a Heironymus Bosch painting burn and move before my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen a couple bad reviews so far. I absolutely love Sheridan’s Frontier Trilogy (Soldado in 1 week!), so I’m really hopeful for this series.

red snow Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Continuing my leftovers binge. It's a shame the threads for it appear locked as I'd post there. Season 2 opened with the biggest WTF I can recall for a long time with the totally different opening (and inferior to S1) and what until the half way mark felt like I may accidentally be watching a new show. What I loved was how intentional all of this was especially with episode 2's brilliant line of "you're wondering whether you're a guest in their story rather than them being guests in yours" Excellent stuff and brave TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thematically the season 2 titles work and who knows I may grow to love it. Not sure I can think of a show with such a dramatic change in title sequences beyond anime which does so on a regular basis.

Nictarion Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The lyrics were so perfect if you didn’t know better you’d think it was written just for the show. Kind of similar to The Sopranos opening song in that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
