Rate the Last Movie You Saw

We saw NOPE over the weekend. I enjoyed it, although it seemed much longer than it needed to be. My wife, who is scared by EVERYTHING, didn't bat an eye during the film, so don't expect big scares. It looked great on the IMAX screen, and Daniel Kaluuya is one of those actors that you just can't take your eyes off of. He's loaded with charisma, and he made the movie.

Bob's Burgers is something I too am not really into. I only watch the Halloween episodes of that series. Speaking of which, I've read we are getting two Halloween episodes this year of The Simpsons, both supposed to be branded Treehouse of Horror, with one of them being a single story. That single story is a parody of It, which should be cool. I never was into Beavis/Butthead that much either, although I very much enjoyed the Genesis video game based on the cartoon. (For that matter, I also liked the Treehouse of Horror Game Boy Color title.)

Has anyone seen Nope yet? Didn't seem to do well at the box office (at least, I thought it would do much higher, maybe even close to $100 million the first weekend...wow, was I off). Seems like it would be an entertaining film.

Went to see it last night and I was honestly bored. Wife thought it was ok.

I saw that Jaws is going to be released IMAX Labor Day weekend. One of my favorite movies of all time so I'll be checking that out for sure.

Not much of a fan of Peele. I may check it out when it's on a streaming service that I already pay for.

Ha. Best of luck on the quest. I had no idea they were still around. Be interested if I would still get a chuckle from this or not.

There's a new BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD move on Paramount +! I grabbed the channel on a 99 cent a month Prime Day sale just so I could watch it. Now I just need some time alone, so my wife isn't sitting there saying "How could you watch garbage like this...?", lol.

I tried watching that show once or twice and never made it through an entire episode. However I'm not that big into cartoons. I never really cared much for South Park and I'm fairly certain the last cartoon I watched with any regularity was Beavis and Butthead back when I was in high-school.

We watched the BOB'S BURGERS movie last night. Decent film with a few laughs. My sons loved it, my wife and I just tolerated it. I've never really been into the TV show, so I wasn't surprised.

Cool. I don't think I've heard anything bad about this one.

Went to see The Black Phone Friday night.

Really enjoyed it. Probably my favorite movie that I’ve seen in the theater this year.

I thought they did a really good job in expanding the short story, with the added characters and everything coming together at the end.

I thought both of the teenage leads (the brother and sister) were very good, and Ethan Hawke was genuinely creepy as the Grabber.

At a run time of 1:40 minutes, the story moved along briskly and never dragged.

We watched LAST NIGHT IN SOHO (Last night, of course...), and while it was a tad slow in the first half, the characters were engaging, and the mystery had us hooked. Some beautiful photography and camerawork, great performances (Amazing to see Diana Rigg and Terrence Stamp!), and the end was outstanding.
Not a movie, but I picked up a 99 cent a month deal on Discovery+, and I watched JACK OSBOURNE'S NIGHT OF TERROR: BIGFOOT. I'm a sucker for all things Bigfoot. Of course jack didn't find Bigfoot, but I like Jack, and seeing him in the woods for 90 minutes with Jason Mewes delivered some good laughs.

Wander starring Aaron Eckhart with co-stars Tommy Lee Jones and Heather Graham. This movie likely would have been better if I was on LSD. A paranoid schizophrenic tries to track down a conspiracy going on in a small town called Wander. The movie was confusing and succeeded in making the viewer wonder what is real and not real. However this was not my cup of tea at all. There were many loose ends, open ended ideas without enough explanation, and an ending that wasn't satisfactory to me.

2 out of 5 stars.

The Silencing. This was a decent thriller with a short enough runtime to keep my attention. This was standard fair stuff about a small town sheriff who shares a border with an American Indian Reservation, a down and out drunk with a mission, and a killer who hunts victims in the surrounding woods.

I will say within the first few moments of the movie there was an editing error which almost made me turn the movie off. It wasn't a big deal but made me wonder for a moment if I should continue. However I'm glad I did.

3 out of 5 stars.

In the Electric Mist starring Tommy Lee Jones. This was an unexpected little gem. Some great dialogue, one liners, atmosphere, and music all very good. Mr. Jones played his standard character but played it very well with a setting that really speaks to me.

There are lines in the movie that make me think and 100% stuck with me. I like things that can bounce around my skull for a bit and give my thoughts a tingle.

4 out of 5.

Can't go much wrong with a James Lee Burke book!
