Movie Night (Official Movie Discussion Thread)

I did watch these with her the other day

Honey I shrunk the kids .... still holds up pretty fucking good even today. She liked this one.

Honey I blew up the kid....terrible terrible terrible. There was no need for this. I saw there was actually, Honey I shrunk us or some shit...im not watching that

The Wizard...this movie was so trash and bad. So many gaping plot holes. This was nothing but a big ass Nintendo infomercial. How is it that its everyone's first time playing mario 3 but they know about the whistles? How they know kneeling on the white blocks lets you go behind the map? How they know to fly up to the top of the first castle to the room where the first whistle is? The Power Glove was probably one of the worst gaming peripherals ever made. That shit didnt work for shit
 
I just watched "One man and his shoes" about the popularity of the Nike Air Jordans,toward the end of the film

they have a segment about people getting robbed and killed for Jays. They show this one family and the mother

talks about how her son was followed home from purchasing a pair and they shot 20 something rounds at the

guy,they show footage of the incident and the car wheels were still spinning when they arrived at the scene !

Watched it on Netflix. It was a nice redemption piece and explained how the NBA drove him crazy to the point where he bugged out in that vaseline eating video. I didn't know him and Kevin Garnett were close in high school prior to the NBA. I've seen better sports documentaries tho and give this 5 out of 10
 
Watching this movie right now with Kevin James called Becky.
Description
Spunky and rebellious Becky tries to reconnect with her father during a weekend getaway at a lakefront house. But the trip soon takes a turn for the worse when convicts on the run, led by the merciless Dominick, suddenly invade the home.

Interesting story. Took me a bit to figure out what was going on
She was selfish for taking off the biohazard suit IMO. Can't imagine what the guy felt seeing her do that. I understand she was likely suffering from extreme isolation but she's got to think about what it's doing to him as well.
I wasn't sure what the father and son wanted her for until the father mentioned repopulation. If she's infected and dying in like a week how is she going to give birth?
That's got to mess with your head being in that chat room with other women and watching them all basically die so I see why she wanted freedom but still. She didn't think of him and what losing her would do to him
 
Lovebirds on Netflix was funny as fuck! Lol.

Had low expectations for it, but Point Blank on Netflix actually ended up being really good as well.

After about 15 years i decided to watch this on dvd again.

I was basically a kid the last time i watched this. As a kid, i fucking loved this movie. But now as a adult i have a more objective view of it. Its still a great movie, in my alltime top 5 and Denzel deserved a oscar (tho it bugs me that denzel doesn't look like malcolm, of course Denzel cant control that)

Couple issues...

Spike completely made up the baines character (man who introduced malcolm to the noi in prison). Intead it was letters from his siblings that introduced malcolm to the noi. That kind of annoyed me.

In the movie they claim betty was already a member of the noi when she met malcolm, she wasn't.

imo spike lee should not have played shorty. He should have let another actor play the role.

They left out the fact that it was Elijah's son who told malcolm about Elijah's extramarital affairs. And hearing it from Elijah's own son made him go and speak to the women, to hear their stories for himself.

There were also other things the noi was doing n not doing that made malcolm upset. That futher added to the divide between he and Elijah.

But im sure due to time, he couldn't add that extra stuff. The movie is already 3 1/2 hours.

Overall this movie is dope af. Even tho its long af, it breezes by. Pacing is great. It gives equal time to malcolm b4 the noi, during it and after the noi.

Ofcourse the noi and malcolm have a very complicated relationship. And yes, its common knowledge the noi did kill malcolm and its very likely the fbi or cia were aware of the hit b4 hand. Whether or not Elijah gave the direct order, i cant say. But the negative way Elijah was speaking of malcolm b4 and after his death didnt help the matter.

Thug tears was still on deck when ossie Davis starts his eulogy at the end. Powerful ending.

Imma check out the Netflix doc on malcolm now. Even tho we already kno killed malcolm
