Didn’t realize mookie had a Kelly Anne Conway fetish
 
Space Sweepers (Netflix)

This was supposed to be South Korea's debut into the major sci-fi blockbuster arena early last year, but the pandemic forced it straight to Netflix after several delays trying to get it into theaters.

Not a dramatic masterpiece by any means, but highly entertaining. Plays into all the tropes of the genre with a wink and a nod. Nice to have a semi-original plot rather than yet another sequel in a franchise. Despite being South Korean, probably 1/3rd of the movie is in English (since the big bad heavy speaks English), so those who hate subtitles can still enjoy it, too.
 
Sweet Smell of Success (1957)

Burt Lancaster as a Walter Winchell gossip columnist, Tony Curtis as a publicist, in 1950s NYC. Gritty, grimey, incredibly cynical noir. Excellent movie.

Spoilers: The first 98% of this movie is one of the greatest noirs ever made. This is by miles the best Curtis performance I have ever seen, and one of the best of Lancaster's many brilliant roles. The scenes between them are vicious, precise, reserved, and tense, the writing is superb. Any 8-minute segment of the first half of this movie will make you feel as dirty as spending all day in a NYC cab. The bit characters are perfect, the pacing and even the blocking are stage quality, the scenes in bars and restaurants and at stage doors are miniature works of art.

Just skip the final three minutes where they betray it all for a rote just desserts ending.


This film is a g-ddmn sleeper masterpiece; I can't believe it isn't more famous. A+.
 
Blues brothers 2000

uh yah.

can’t fault the music (except for Stevie winwood?!?!?), but no story at all.

The whole New Orleans bit was lame and only in there because shlocky Paul Schaffer owned Hollywood at that moment. Bad timing.

Blues Traveler sucked too.

But... the Wilson Pickett portion of this is mind-blowingly great.

How’d they get away with the 423-4545 sampleing?!?!?
 
Takers

dead fast and furious guy steals stuff and a couple shoot outs try to tie up a whole lot of storylines that were muddled and confusing.
 
My goodness, we watched a horrible movie on Prime last night. The Silencing, starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau of GoT fame. He plays some sort of off the grid hermit whose daughter went missing five years earlier, and now there are additional young girls turning up dead in the same area.

The movie was quite short, thankfully, but a complete mess. Somehow, Prime had it listed at four stars out of five, which means I cannot under any circumstances trust their rating system anymore.
