Ya, he's pretty cool, and neat how he came out of his sidekick roles and became a leading man.

Yeah, he's been a leading man for a while, now.

Eastwood plays a preacher helping a prospector bullied by a greedy mining boss.

I watched the new Transformers movie. Two no-name actors who didn't woo me.

Really doesn't make sense in the ethos of the Transformers universe as the first time humans as a whole should see Transformers isn't until 2007 when this movie was in the 90s.

Heart of Stone trailer, starring Gal Gadot.

All sarcasm aside, I am hoping it will just be entertaining.

Not using high paid actors in a very special effects and high budget fantasy / sci-fi is normal these days.

I watch these types of movies not for the actors but the effects and action. The acting/actors would be a bonus. I enjoyed the film.

Finding Forrester. The BMW scene is perfect for this forum.

M5Rick · 08-11-2023, 03:55 PM

Good romantic comedy

Trailer looked good to me. And it's from the producer of Barbarian, which I liked. Will watch it when it comes my way.

Barbarian was a trip! Yes. I can see the similarities.

Started a couple movies last night: "Cocaine Bear," which is a silly movie and loosely based on a true story; "Bones and All," which is kind of a sad movie.

Here are the trailers:

TXSTYLE · 08-19-2023, 12:26 AM

Watched this tonight. Excellent. And I never tire of looking at Gal....

Huh. I watched (well, attempted to watch with Wife).....

It took us three days to slog through it. Sub-par acting, cheesy CGI, blatant violations of physics and a plot so poorly thought out that the screen play would have been better served if it had been written by drunken Chinese squirrels.

I'll admit that I could pretty much watch (and listen) to Gal Godot read the phone book, but I thought this one was one of the most banal movies I've seen in a long time.

My wife has a weakness for "shoot 'em ups", and this one even taxed *her* tolerance. It wasn't that "bad"..... it just wasn't that "good".

Like the saying goes: "One man's trash is another's treasure".

I guess "Oppenheimer", "Dunkirk" and "The Martian" spoiled me-- I don't watch many movies nowadays, but when I do, I want them to be excellent and well thought out. Gal Godot was roped into this one either because it was a contractual requirement or they gave her a metric ton of cash.

Or maybe her own island.

I thought the opening sequence was over the top, the CGI was not even remotely realistic or probable. It did seem to settle down from there and turn out to be a better than average film.

TXSTYLE · 08-19-2023, 03:02 PM

Reminded me of a Female Mission Impossible

I mean the same can be said for any such over the top Action Espionage movie. Oh well. I can watch her painting houses and be entertained.

tranquility · 08-19-2023, 07:52 PM

I dunno about Gal, is she really all that? I don't see it, it's just a massive promo campaign for her, this gen's Julia Roberts. :P
