Last Seen Movie

Peppermint. Man, that was epic seeing Jennifer Garner hunt down every crook and more who "hurt" her family.

And as always, there's those who say the movie was RaCiSt. lol I remember they said the same about the last Rambo film, too.

 

Knuckle. Really great Irish traveler documentary following two families over the span of 10+ years.

 

Love and Monsters.
At this point in time, I believe this movie might be better than the upcoming Monster Hunter movie.
I hope I'm wrong though as I love that franchise.

 

The Call of the Wild (2020)
I liked the book, and this movie is really ok.
Harrison Ford, cool effects and landscapes, good action and northen lights.

 

The wife made me sit through How to lose a guy in 10 days for the first (and only) time. To sum it up - shite.

 

To be fair the wife doesn’t normally let me watch them because I spout bile at the TV and “spoil” the ending - even though she’s seen it dozens of times. If only the same applied to the god knows how many series of sex and the city, I know way too much about that program.

 

Fair enough, it’s a bloody good reason Is just friends that Sandra bullock thing? If so, and I’m swearing you to secrecy on this, I did actually chuckle more than once at that one, which really annoyed me

 

Oh yeah, the one where he was chunky at school, the wife’s made me sit through that more than once. On the bright side she knows when I’ve had enough and let’s me pick one of my “shite” films to break up the tedium. Which would be fine is she didn’t like all of my shite films - except the horrors. Fair dos though, she has had to sit through a fair bit of Doom Patrol, which she hates.

 

Rush (2013)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979320/

Slightly dramatised rivalry between two formula 1 drivers in the 70s.
It would be the late 80s before I started paying any kind of attention to formula one and was otherwise completely unaware of this whole series of events, indeed by this point they were variously commentators and more management roles.
I normally don't care at all about sports films and sports rival films even less than that.

However I thoroughly enjoyed this one as a background film. Some wonderful images/editing/camera work, pretty decent characters, interesting mix of languages (so used am I to having everybody magically speak English all the time) and otherwise good stuff.

 

2015's Knock, Knock with Keanu Reeves. Garbage. Just like the rest of Eli Roth's movies. I think I'll watch the Midsommar Director's Cut to clear that other nonsense from my mind.

 

The Running Man (1987)

Paul Blart: Mall Cop one of the few Thanksgiving-y movies.

Michael Madsen......why in Gods Name.....

 

Resident Evil: Vendetta (2017)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5776208/

One of the 3d animated resident evil films. I did not mind the one in the airport but the other I could leave.
Here the models and textures were not the worst, though sub game (give or take guns which were actually not bad at all, almost makes me wonder if this was not one of those "the guns/cars are the real character" type anime thing) and uncanny valley different from the games. The animations were mediocre in most cases and good but exceptionally cheesy if not (if you enjoyed gun kata from Equilibrium then you might find something more here), some of the virtual set building was not great either (the chase scene at the end...). Basically think test render or storyboard that someone put some effort into, or you probably saw better CGI from mid range houses in the mid 2000s. The story was at very best middling but largely predictable even if you have not played a resident evil game. Made more sense than anything I saw in 6 though and more or less managed to stick the landing and keep things going throughout.
Despite all that I had a good time. Watched it at 1x speed which is a rarity these days, and was late at night too. Almost would suggest it as an intro to the RE universe (it adds nothing to it really) but takes place somewhere between 4,5 and 6 so might be missing out.
Similarly I would almost be inclined to suggest it in general. Might even be my favourite resident evil film (I did actually like the live action efforts if only for the pure cheese) but that is not exactly a high bar.
