    It's been a while since I saw it, but I remember it as good B-Movie fun. Nothing spectacular, but if you're a Bruce Campbell fan, you'll enjoy it.

    One does not simply walk into a survivable film role.

    I show it as a $3.99 rental on Amazon.com streaming.

    Seriously? Bubba Ho Tepp is a real thing? (scurries off to check.) Holy hell, so it is.

    I saw the movie Free Guy yesterday. I liked it very much. Free Guy is as if the Truman Show and Ready Player One had a child to be raised by Back to the Future

    I’ve been putting off watching The Godfather films for weeks - months if you count how long I’ve owned them - but I’m about to take the plunge.

    I enjoyed it - not a pleasant film but how could it be? I’m looking forward to part II tomorrow. I know it’s generally regarded as the best of the trilogy, and it has one of my all time favourite actors in Robert De Niro - long before he became the movie whore he is now.

    I still haven't seen Part II. A lot of it is in Italian, which is subtitled into Japanese here. Same with "Sophie's Choice," lots of German and Polish that I can't get.

    Things to do on my next vacation, I guess.

    I don’t think it’s a better film than the first, but I do think it might be a greater one. De Niro is incredible in it.

    Didn't you like Stardust? I thought he was funny as hell.

    That was a nicely unexpected role for him, and just a great movie all around.

    For those that haven't it's certainly worth experiencing Von Trier's much forgotten masterpiece Melancholia.




    And afterwards, this great analysis:

    Not seen it. I’ve not bothered with much of his stuff, probably since Jackie Brown - I think that was probably his last respectable role.

    I’ll check out the trailer, though.

    Can you not get a MR player and the European version of the dvd?

    Yeah, if it meant that much to me to see. I've got a region-free DVD player, but getting a US or Euro copy of the film would probably run $30-50 and I just don't care that much.

    No, I wouldn’t say any film was worth that much.

    Well that’s all three Godfather films watched. Just finished III and have to say while I agree it’s the weakest, it wasn’t the mess I’d been led to believe. It was a little more complex than my brain / attention span can cope with these days, and by the time the film reached the big opera finish I had no idea who was who and what their intentions / motives were.

    I love The Godfather trilogy and all of Mario Puzo’s books, but my favorite mafia movie is Goodfellas. I also really enjoy Kill the Irishman. I was kinda let down by I Hear You Paint Houses though.

    I haven’t sat down to watch any new movies in awhile. Rewatched The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly a few weeks back. Always worth the 3 hour investment.

    "Old is a 2021 American thriller film written, directed, and produced by M. Night Shyamalan."

    Well, that's all I needed to know. Staying home with Netflix this week.

    Always worth the investment. Definitely my favorite western.

    Alien, the director’s cut. No idea if it’s considered superior to the theatrical. It’s that long since I saw the film I’m pretty sure I won’t even notice the additional scenes.

    Just right of center.
    Watched San Andreas (with The Rock), and then re-watched 2001. Almost had to re-wire my brain in the interval in between.
