The movie thread

[Frosty]

Am I the only one seeing this and thinking "WTF Keanu Reeves?? Didn't know you were that desperate for money?!!??"

 

Maybe it’s the enjoyment factor and not the money.

[Stretch]

Mr Reeves is a complex fella.... I don't think he really gives a hoot about what people think.

 

The fact is.. People who liked bill and teds the first time round....and people who like the hangover... And any movie like that.. Will watch this... And as frosty says... Probably just for the laughs

Ok, so I am the only one

Don't Bother with Birds of Prey

Think it took me 3 nights to finish.

I don't think Keanu needs to worry about more money. The Matrix set him up for almost life, and he's a pretty down to earth character. Probably doing it because he wants to. Like his appearance in Cyberpunk 2077 stuff. Same reason he's doing a Matrix 4 thing. 'Cos he likes doing it.

Maybe things got a bit serious with John Wick, so he is trying to balance that out

Even if you are not into art, but appreciate BRILLIANT animation. Watch this! It's on Netflix.

 

 

The review, but make up your own mind.

I was scratching the bottom of my Harddrive movie barrel and found a 2011 Movie starring Ewan McGregor and Eva Green called Perfect Sense.  It was ok-ish, but more pertinent was the fact that both  my Wife and I commented that in 2011 this movie was probably brushed off as far-fetched and highly improbable.  But in 2020, suddenly it's not all that outrageous and actually very close to home.

Remarkable computer generated imagery

Watched Greyhound tonight. Not bad, suspenseful at times.

Was interesting to read that Apple bought the rights to the movie when it couldn't be released in cinemas due to covid. Will definitely make a plan to watch it.

This was quite fun!

It was, but the soundtrack was horrendous. Almost every track felt out of place with the tone & context of the scenes they were attached to. I was into it and then all of a sudden the song would rip me out and I'd wonder exactly what sort of movie I was watching... A bloody nice shoot-em-up or another Step Up, High School Musical or Pitch Perfect movie.

Still have to watch it but the last 2 netflix releases I made the effort to watch - Extraction (meh) & Eurovision (bleagh) were underwhelming to say the least so I'm in no hurry
