Spoilers What Movie Are You Watching?

Above Suspicion (2021)- The story of an FBI agent and his informant. It got terrible audience and critic reviews, it did not feel coherent, and it’s a somber look at small town Kentucky white low income society, not to imply that all Southern small town society is like this. One bright light is Emilia Clarke does a great job with her portrayal, Southern accent and her narration pulled me in at the start. The story telling just felt haphazard and disjointed.

I'm biased. I feel any film with Johnny Knoxville is going to be bad from the get go.
The trailer didn't look great so...

I had no clue who Johnny Knoxville was before watching this. Now I would tend to blame the screenwriter and director for the outcome. I did not think that Knoxville was thoroughly awful, but he did seem a bit shallow. :D

Galaxy Quest- Streamed on Netflix. I walked though the family room and my wife had this on, just started, damn her! I had to sit and watch then started laughing. I’ve really grown to appreciate the ensemble performances and humor in this movie. Outstanding spoof/comedy! The Chompers, lol. :D

Take the time to watch the 20th-anniversary documentary about the movie. With cast and crew re-visiting the making of this movie.

The documentary is named: Never Surrender. :)

Just watched the documentary Never Surrender on Amazon. If you like Galaxy Quest this is worthy. Of interest, the studio insisted that this movie be PG so they cut out the profanity originally in it. Remember when they go through the chompers and Sigourney Weaver says “Screw This”? She originally used the F word and they just dubbed over it, so if you lip read… :D Quoted:

According to Pulitzer Prize winning Playwright and Screenwriter David Mamet the 4 perfect movies are:

The Godfather
A Place in the Sun
Dodsworth
Galaxy Quest

633 Squadron (1964)- Saw on Amazon, watched this many years ago, a decent story about a mission to Norway with British Mosquito bombers to attack a factory producing rocket fuel For the Nazis. Fictional story. Now I recognize the origins of Top Gun: Maverick, fly up a narrow fjord, throw out the bombs to hit the underside of a cliff, then pull up to clear a tall mountain . :)

Babylon s-l1600.jpg

Still struggling weeks after watching to figure out how I feel about it. As per the title it is at times almost x rated pornographic, degenerate, excessive. Visually striking. While watching it I was going to give it one star until a scene between Jean Smart (who hits it out of the ballpark in Hacks) and Brad Pitt. It suggested that I wasn't looking at the right things, getting distracted by the despicable actions of the producers/actors etc. The montage at the end reinforced the view that I wasn't analyzing it correctly.

Be interested in what others thing about it.

It's on my "To watch..." list.
 
The Magnificint Seven (2016)- Did not see this in the theater, let it slip by as just another remake, a remake of an excellent 1960 film by the same name, which was a remake of an excellent 1954 movie, Seven Samurai. This version was about a town in the USWest being abused by a rich industrialist. I’ll call it good and watchable, beautiful US Western scenery, while being a bit over the top, with some of the amazing shots that are made, and the numbers of hombres required to be killed, explosives help. :) I liked the cast, especially Chris Pratt who can inject humor while being dramatically serious.

I’ll also take this opportunity to recommend Shane (1954) a good story about the cattlemen vs the settlers for a 10 second gun fight, and Unforgiven (1992) a depiction of just how sloppy gun fights more likely could be.

Somewhat self indulgent, yet certainly has something going on. Once you look past the shock value, Babylon is not a bad film by any means. I like the film as it has a very certain style of humour and sadness too it...

I love the soundtrack, music booms exactly when it should do. What an opening, so do be warned. This is a film to be watched, but not for the kiddies. L&G Devil is in details with this one, no bones about it, yes you should...

Now, upon my own complete viewing... uh... not sure what I saw... a story about what your life could have been, or a mom and daughter and how difficult that relationship can be... and as grown ups worrying about how your relationship with your parents turns out...?

Fun in spots not sure why it won so many Oscars if I'm honest...
