I saw Black Widow in the theater yesterday. I was hesitant because of middling reviews but I really enjoyed it. Certainly not the best MCU movie, but it was fun and I thought Florence Pugh stole the show. I'm glad we'll be seeing more of her character in the Hawkeye series.
Keeping with the crime vibe - King of New York (1990)
Great film, like many from the 80's & 90's

I knew this day would come, a second watching of the series:
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)- Philosopher’s Stone in UK. Magical from the start. Music, visuals, and direction really compliment this story. My first exposure was this book I borrowed from an English friend’s son.
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (2002)- wow the kids grew. Dobby, parsel tongue, big snake, spiders, wonderful performance by Kenneth Branagh as Narcissist Gilderoy Lockheart, author of Magical Me, guest incompetent Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and a perfect villain Jason Isaacs as Luscious Mafoy.

Watched it over the weekend, didn’t mind it to be honest. It’s not amazing of course but was a good evening watch for me.
It was sooo looooong and it seemed like there was zero set up for every other following scene... just me?
The Empty Man (2020)
A dark and twisted journey into cosmic horror. The film moves at a slow pace adding ever more layers as time passes, conveying the story both narratively and visually with little hand holding. Not a film for all, however those that like this style of film making will be in for a treat. Will likely take a couple of watches to finesse all the details...
If you enjoy cosmic horror?
If you enjoy strange things that are not directly explainable or understandable?
If you enjoy slow-paced & beautiful cinematography?
You'll know what to do

Q-6
I worked at a big ten university, on a research project, and the research lead was a gay man who was married to a woman, and had 2 children. Their marriage was for 'convenience', and rumor had it that he was not the genetic father of at least one of the kids, who at the time were in college.
He 'had the perfect cover' for his lifestyle. I remember mentioning that to my neighbor, and his kids freaking out 'how could a gay man be married to a woman?' and I said 'Who would stop him? It's perfect cover. They married for his medical coverage, and retirement support.' It really apparently freaked out his kids. One of which is actually gay now.
But Joseph Gordon-Levitt is rather guarded, or teasing(?) about his status, but it's his life, and his wife's too. Who should care if he is gay, other than those two. And just because he might be gay does not mean that he can't approach women with a high degree of respect and caring. It's not a binary issue that if you are gay, you hate members of the opposite sex. It happens, but it's not healthy, productive, or very 'adult'. *shrug*
Two Bolded points in your post:
Please, do some basic research before you post falsities, none of what you said is actually accurate. Michael Douglas is a businessman [Which can have multiple avenues of what is considered a businessman] with investments on the side post acting if you actually researched his bio, and Joseph Gordon Levitt is a married man with two children to Tasha McCauley.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
AND Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been 'coy' over his status, seeming to tease people...
I don't car if he's gay, I have never met the man. And being gay doesn't mean you can't be married to the opposite sex, or treat them with respect and empathy. I worked for a man that was gay, that was married to a woman, and actually hah 2 kids, but only rumored to be the genetic donor to one of them.
As far as Micheal Douglas, I had read an article (years ago) supposedly on his 'business skills', that said that he was not a success at them, and that others actually started running them in an attempt to 'save them'. But who knows. I mean, look at Planet Hollywood, and what a crater that left. I still wonder what happened to all the artifacts, but am still able to sleep at night. So many theme restaurants are disappearing. I just discovered the Joe's Crab Shack closed early last year that was near here. Bummer. The history of 'movie star' businesses is filled with embarrassing failures, with some successes. Good luck to all of them...
Haha! You're the one who peddled the gossip. You can't just make things up to fit your own narrative.
Now you're just making things up. Nobody said that.
Again, nobody said that.
You're the only one who seems fixated on this.
I'll leave you with this - Best not to gossip!
Why don't you reply to this with a movie you recommend and let's discuss that?
Wicked flick. My friend and I often wondered what it would have been like if John Candy had played the Bad Lieutenent instead of Harvey. We even do the voice and the dialog. Especially in that scene with the two young ladies... You know the scene I'm talking about.
BTW: RIP John Candy. A true comedy legend that is sorely missed even to this day. I've never seen a bad performance from him. He was even fun to watch in Who's Harry Crumb? and Nothing But Trouble!
Watched "Fatherhood" with Kevin Hart. Was quite a tug at the heart in many places and it's good to see Kevin Hart do some more serious acting than just comedy. My daughter and I liked it.
On a side note, man Paul Reiser is looking old.

Hard pass. Bad script writing and if you want to see a movie similar to this that actually was composed with better acting, and has a compelling storyline with depth, check out ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. _Way_ better and Emily Blunt was amazing.
About Paul Reiser: he was in The Kominsky Method season 3 and I had the same reaction about how unrecognizable he is, except for his voice. Same with the remake of Mad About You, of which I could only stomach about 5 minutes. I suppose that's what happens when there's a long stretch in an actor's career when you don't happen to see someone regularly, even though apparently he's been working all along. When I looked back in his IMDB profile, there's about 20 years of work I am pretty sure I didn't watch.
I started this, but was unable to finish it, due to exactly what you mentioned. I fell asleep lol... Plan on picking this back up over the next week or so.
We did finish prior to the above movie... Raya and The Last Dragon. Wasn't too bad, but wasn't great either.
Watched 'The Burnt Orange Heresy' last week.
It was a pretty solid flick. The casting was very well done, with Donald Sutherland playing a reclusive artist and Mick Jagger as an art collector - two of essentially only four characters.
The synopsis ("Art critic James Figueras is enlisted by a wealthy art dealer to steal a painting from reclusive painter Jerome Debney.") makes it sound like it might be fully a heist movie, but it's really more of a thriller with a languid vibe at times.
Give it a go, it's something a little different.

It just seemed so rushed in spots and that's hard to say because it's over 2 hours long. All that time and they didn't really develop characters or relationships or show us how they moved the story along. It just kinda hopped along. I felt like I was watching a video game spliced into a movie.
