Hoosierhoopster Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 To go with the TV shows thread Watched the movie, The King (2019) the other day. Very good, based on a few Shakespeare plays -- It's like Game of Thrones but without the dragons etc. Powerful, very well acted and written, great battle scenes to go with a lot of very good dialogue in between. Looking for some other fairly recent movie suggestions -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You inspired me to watch. Much better than the second. The daughter in the second one always drives me crazy. Everybody knows not to use cell phones and credit cards when you are on the run! Hasn’t she seen any movies? Jeez! 😡 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted April 23, 2020 Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 Not a new one but the last great old style western. Unforgiven. Honestly haven't seen a new movie in awhile other than Bohemian Rhapsody, which if you are Queen fan straight up kills the Live at Wimbledon show, and Jumanji with the Rock. Both are pretty good.

Hoosierhoopster Posted April 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2020 If you guys haven’t seen the John Wick movies they’re good, and relentless action. I wonder about the long-term impact of COVID-19 on going to the movies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as long term impact as to whether people go out or stay in to watch movies, as long as people date and hang out with friends, movie theaters will have a place.

Thanks for the link....interesting stuff. The kids begged me to get Trolls 2 a few weeks ago. It was $20 for a 48 hour rental. At first, I thought that was ridiculous, but came to the realization it’s less then taking everybody to the theatre. I would do it again. I personally don’t need to go to a theatre, the 3D movies make my eyes hurt and paying $8 for a bag of popcorn is silly. Unless it’s a new Star Wars or some new awesome action movie that has to be seen on the big screen, I’m good with staying home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Wars movies....and Downton Abbey. Otherwise it is cheaper to stay at home. The article mentions the 3 month window that cinemas usually get for new releases. I don't see anytime in the near future that window isn't either eliminated or reduced substantially. Shoot...my Carmel Library card gets me new movie releases within 2-3 months for free. On the flip side though....maybe drive in movies make a push once we get back to our new normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder about the long-term impact of COVID-19 on going to the movies John Wick is my wifes favorite. She watches everytime they are on- which seems rather often. Hence, I've seen them countless times. Wish Keanu Reaves would have played Reacher instead of Tom Cruise. Cruise just doesn't fit that part.

tdhoosier Posted May 1, 2020 Report Share Posted May 1, 2020 See this? Now AMC is banning Universal movies. The AMC CEO seems like a hot head; doesn’t seem like a smart move to me. IMO, I say good riddance. Maybe you shouldn’t charge $15 for a pop corn and soft drink, which would give people more incentive to go to the theatres. We all saw what happened to Blockbuster when they refused to adapt to consumer demand. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/28/media/trolls-world-tour-universal-amc/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Jack Reacher fan, Tom Cruise does NOT fit the description! In the books, Reacher is 6'4" and 240 lbs of muscle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a laugh, on Cruise, go back and watch The Firm (pretty good based on Grisham’s book - the laugh part is watching Cruise run trying to look serious, he just looks hysterical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Digging this out of the basement. Just finished a movie titled Brian Banks. It's a true story, about you guessed Brian Banks. Even if you are familiar with the story it is still a very good feel good story. If you dont watch it at least read his wiki page. 5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
