Definitely doesn't fall into that category for me, but like you said, opinions vary. It was mediocre at best relative to other Marvel movies.

Just finished Love Hard on Netflix. It’s like the Asian version of Love, Actually. Very enjoyable holiday movie.

These these PC check box movies just kill it for me. I could care less if there is a gay super hero or whatever, but when you can see the cast is set up to make sure every box is check - it just loses me.

When Blade came out - it was just good. It didn't have to be anything but just good. Now a movie has to be based only on it's parts - not it's sum. If it sucks - it sucks. There should be no extra credit.

Now now, we have to be fully enclusive lol.

Sadly I'm not surprised, as that literally saturates everything nowadays.

I did go see Dune last night. Been looking forward to this as I always liked the old cheesy ones story. I thought it was pretty good. Effects were FAR better (duh) and I like the way it was going.

What surprised me is how long it was, AND it stopped earlier in the story than the first one did. So #2 is going to have parts of the original #1in it still - that surprised me.

Worth a watch to the Dune fans.

I'm currently watching the first episode of "Dexter: New Blood" on my Firestick. I watched "Escape Room: Tournament of Champions" a little earlier.

Watched this the other night. Another unexpected ending from M. Night Shyamalan. I put off seeing this for fear of being disappointed but it's not bad IMO.

I've had it for a while now but also put it off due to extremely poor reviews. Usually I don't give a shit about reviews, but there were just so many negatives. Guess I will watch it.

Doze tiddies.

I enjoyed this on Netflix. Good, not great. Fairly accurate historically.

Esteban · 11-11-2021, 02:47 PM

No Time to Die just became available on my "on demand" TV. The cost is $19.99. Will not pay that much. I've heard this is a good movie but I'll wait til it's cheaper. Gives me something to look forward to.

I agree. I watched it last night. Had I paid for it, I would have been disappointed. For free, it was decent.

Captain Blood · 11-11-2021, 08:55 PM

Another really good movie. The only thing I didn't like was "the twist".
