Have any of you seen Knives Out? It's a really good whodunnit, but I'm horrified for the Netflix sequel. If not handled correctly, it could be absolutely horrible.
I watched Apollo 13 this morning. It starred Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, & Bill Paxton as the astronauts involved in the Apollo 13 mission & how through ingenious ingenuity (& with help from those on the ground within NASA) they miraculously managed to safely make their way back to Earth after an oxygen leak in their craft.
I thought it was excellent. Some of the CGI effects near the beginning of the film were starting to show their age (like the shots of the surrounding area around the rocket), but it was much more of a character drama & everything within the capsule was believable & edge of your seat tense.

@HotGoomba I watched Knives Out the other day actually, it was really good. Why are you so apprehensive about the sequel? (I don't know anything about it other than the title.)
Thank you Nintendo for giving us Donkey Kong Jr Math on Nintendo Music
@Dogorilla Something about it being a Netflix exclusive worries me. However, I'm gonna have an open mindset when the movie releases. I don't even know if there's a trailer yet or not.
@HotGoomba I've just checked and it's still written and directed by Rian Johnson, who was already working on it before Netflix bought the rights to it, so I'm not too concerned about the quality. I don't have Netflix though so I'll be disappointed if it doesn't get a cinema and/or DVD release (some Netflix films have done so I think it's fairly likely this one will).

Peacock added The Bad Guys to its service tonight, and watched it. Spoiler-free opinion, I loved it! It was fun, and had some twists and turns.
Actual spoiler stuff, don't click if you plan to watch this one. I will say, it did feel a bit predictable. Marmalade being the actual villain, and the mystery character who broke out the bad guys being Diane Foxington, still fun twists nonetheless. The one twist I didn't see coming, was Snake swapping the actual meteor with the lamp, I did not see that one coming. His attitude was convincing.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!

But anyways, go watch Knives Out if you haven't.
I'm only seeing this now that I'm back from my trip, but yes, yes, ALL OF MY YES. I watched this on a school trip when it first came out and the film actually froze right before the ending, leaving me in the dark for about half a year on what the conclusion actually was. However, my sisters managed to get it on a projector at home so we could finally watch it (they had never seen it you see) and needless to say, even though it had been that long since I had seen it originally, the ending still had my jaw on the floor. The fact that a movie can still utterly captivate me when I had already seen most of it beforehand just goes to show how good it is. Can't wait for the upcoming sequel!

Watched National Lampoon's European Vacation the other day.
It's still worth a few laughs, but it really isn't as good as the first. I think it's actually stronger towards the beginning (particularly during the England & French segments), but falls apart towards the end. Absolutely worst version of Audrey (the daughter) though (she just spends the entire movie complaining about getting fat, in the laziest teenage girl writing ever).

Saw Lightyear today. Decent animated sci fi flick. Bit of an oddball creatively. I imagine it's too much scifi and not enough toy story for kiddos (unless your 5 year old loves stories about time dilation) and it's too cartoony and derivitive to stand on its own as a scifi movie.

Give me a heads-up if you're going to send a request please.
It was very professionally done as you didn't even see the mic boom or anything in the shots. The film had several writers and you can tell as there's was lots of actors talking to each other during the film. I'm pretty sure there was a special effect in it too, I will need to rewatch it to double check though. The acting was really good as the actress responded to her character's name really naturally and she didn't stop to remember her lines. It was very clever at the end when the credits rolled, they had music playing so it's not just you reading. It was a good film so I give it 9 out of 10 Oscars, it just needed a plot twist to get the 10th Oscar like once the credits have finished then suddently there's another movie.
@Rambler I remember I was the pub watching two people discuss Under The Skin as they gave two very different opinions. One person was Scottish who kept talking about how at the same time it was so real and unreal to him and found it so unnerving but the other one was women who pointed out the idea of it that a demure looking woman hunting men is what makes it's so creepy so for her it's not as unnerving as it's intended to be. My big contribution to this discussion was asking if anyone wanted something in the next round.
