It was boring as hell besides a couple of scenes. Personally I wouldn't recommend. [Reply]
Watched Bushwick on Netflix. I’m always down for Dave Bautista. But this one was a rough hang. Fairly poignant given the current political climate, but a tough hang. Probably worth your time, but it isn’t cheery. There is a moment where it tries to be. Then it isn’t anymore.
Looked good. Bruce Willis, mercenaries, shoot em up. Fuck yeah.
Pure unadulterated garbage. Bad dialogue, worse dialogue, worse yet plot. Action was meh, but it was absolutely chalk full of nonsensical tactical errors and dumbass decisions. And I'm far from the pinnacle of weapons and tactics knowledge. I have a couple guns and can fairly efficiently dust prairie dogs, badgers and coyotes, but I have precisely 0 training, and both sides of the conflict made inconcievable, indefensible tactical errors. And that's not to get into improperly using the weapons systems.
And that's beside the point that they were fighting over this AI platform that they tried like 3 times to explain, and literally as deep as they got was it was AI and ... I guess... is bad.
I can normally suspend disbelief for that kind of stuff, but wow this was bad.
So I watched Uncle Frank. I didn’t know shit about it. Betany is typically a good watch. I was in the office. Fuck it. I put it on.
If you don’t know it’s about this girl in her formative years that takes a liking to her ostracized uncle. Turns out he’s ostracized because
Spoiler!
He’s gay. In the 70s. In the south.
Then the uncles dad (girls grandpa) dies and it shifts to the uncle. And dealing with the whole thing.
It was really good. Betany killed it like I thought he would, the girl and the partner (especially the partner) fucking destroyed it. I mean really good. This is normally a movie I’d shut off 20 minutes in. I was hooked when shit got real. When
Spoiler!
The family came around after the funeral
I was all in. It was really good. I don’t know shit about awards or whatever. Seems like Oscar bait, I don’t know. Whatever. But it’s a well done flick. Worth the time. [Reply]
Mosul on Netflix— highly recommend this movie. Gritty, realistic, and un-varnished view of the war against ISIS/Daesh. I spent three years in Iraq, and they did a better job than any bullshit movie made in Hollywood. Yes, it’s subtitled but it only makes it more realistic as opposed to Iraqis running around speaking English.
