Essential Coli-members what's the last thing you watched?

[daemonova]

There are going to be some comparisons to the movie Beekeeper which has been a critic and fan favorite but I didn't think was all that.

It takes place in Greece which if you've watched the news ain't the greatest place to be right now. The skinny: a former operative is sent back overseas to clean a mess he left years prior, he has an attractive handler/supervisor whatever played by Nina Dobrev of TVD fame. Her Katherine character was the best thing she ever did,( which in itself is a play off being the bish big sister in Perks of Being a Wallflower I'd like to think inspired Sydney Sweeneys performance in White Lotus), so she's as prickly and indignant as ever. A very interesting way to develop rapport and chemistry in 2024. It's not long before they run into Greek problems and the bodies start piling up. My only critique is the unnecessary flashback sequences, those could have been cut out.

Spoiler: The director will say

how would you know who the villian is...

when the chick answered her door with no shirt (you don't see nothing) you knew she was the villian so I rest my case

I give it 8 out if 10.

A conference room screwball, literally I don't know how anybody could have came up with the stuff they put in this movie, weirdness abounds.

Anne Hathway and Marisa Tomei could have been sisters, I did not see a 18 year age difference, especially on Anne's part.

When a chick acts like that when you ask for the sex, just leave and don't ever come back.

Was randomly watching Scarface scenes

so ended up re-watching Carlito's Way and Heat again.

The way Pacino's character punks Leguizamo in the club

"fukk Benny! "

"Why you acting like this, this guy was you 20 years ago! "
"Never me! Never me! You ain't me, muthafukka, you a punk, I been with made men. Who you are? Chain snatchin jive ass maricon "



And Heat is something else. Still holds up damn near 30 years later. The bank robbery scene with shootout is one of the best audio effect works till this day. That's how you do city shootout scene, with proper echoing. That scene is grimey as fukk.

This was a tough watch. Franklin went full cac.

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

watching every Jim Jarmusch movie in the last few weeks. Banger after banger.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Entertaining crime thriller. Dennis Hopper is completely unhinged in it lmao.

 

[WIA20XX]

Alternating between Ripley and Sugar.

Just on Ep 1 for both, not sure if I like either.

 

[TheNatureBoy]

A Big Picture recommendation. Film was different than what I expected in terms of mood, sadder than I anticipated.

 

[WaveCapsByOscorp™]

Every once in a blue moon, I randomly think about this masterpiece

 

[TheNatureBoy]

One of the few Denzel films I hadn't seen before. The relationship between Denzel/Dakota Fanning is really good. Wish the film had a bit more of that.

I don't know which weird cock having fukk decided that Julia Roberts was something the American Public needed to be seeing on ANY screen other than an informercial for medical diseases, but he or quite possibly she, for whatever reason casted her in the supposedly Iconic Pretty Woman flick, thusly casting this duckfaced broad into thousands of Hollywood Rolodexes with regards to being a female actress that needs to be in shyt for whatever reason.
She was in this. This weird shyt. This weirdly ambitious movie that's about pharmaceutical companies hiring MI6 spy agencies to spy on the other to gleam whatever secrets the other has so they can benefit from it....this movie was ass.
Clive owens, is Clive Owens. Vaguely british, handsome without being offensive with it, smooth enough, yet not cocky to the point you wanna hate him. I can't say he was brilliant in this, because this movie is about two spys, doing spy shyt to each other while trying to maintain a relationship in which they allude to not knowing each other, while being in the middle of a heist that has both their rival pharmaceutical companies trying to outsmart the next, the movie is just filled with twists until it breaks into an ending that was a bit poignant, but after it all, just a fantastic waste of time in my opinion. You don't need that many twists, for fukk's sake.

4.2/10

I like art house films. I like Indie films. I like to just go into American/European movie theatres with a flagon of Scotch, get a medium sized 60 oz drink of Dr Pepper, pour the scotch in and just sit and watch random shyt, because I'm expansive like that during my holidays. I'm so glad I didn't meet this stupid film throughout my many excursions doing just that. Not even the welcomed blunted high of smooth tasting Soda infused Alcohol could quell the ire this fukking film brought about in me.
It's about a couple in Antarctica (Canada I think, but it's snow. Remember that.) and the girl gets accepted to a medical college? Or some shyt? But she's going away. Her dude in tow, gets pissy because she's leaving and I guess she never told him she might be up for a transfer and the majority of the movie is him throwing a hissy fit and trying to ignore her while she tries to comfort him in the last week they have before she leaves and they end, with them ultimately deciding to run off together as lovers to go live somewhere else or some shyt since he can't or won't go where she's going (His fam is there and he's estranged from them) and she wants to ultimately be with him, so they go north.
And also Babar shows up and the dude can talk to him. I'm not shytting you. Duke talks to bears. This Polar bear. The movie's ending is a bitter sweet culmination of two childish motherfukkers being so unprepared for a journey that they purposefully put themselves on, that it makes the Supertramp Cac who wondered his mentally ill ass into the wilderness to be a nature hobo but ultimately died because he was Steve Jobs confident in his decisions to do ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN LISTEN TO ALL THE WARNINGS AND HEEDINGS OF PEOPLE SMARTER AND MORE LEARNED THAN HIM, IN REGARDS TO A fukkING POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING SITUATION, BECAUSE HE KNOWS WHAT'S BEST FOR HIM.......type situation or something. I've said too much already and whoever is reading this more than likely will NOT watch this movie, since it came off of Netflix or is going to in a week.
Stars the chick from she hulk laywer whatever and you see her flat titties a few times during some painfully unsexy sex scenes.

3.8 out of 10.
The voice actor for Babar made his last film appearance in this, voicing a fukking polar bear. Rest in peace to him.

Strike three. This is the 3rd stupid movie I've watched in a span of 48 hours and I'm thoroughly convinced that I am the architect of my own mental demise. The premise of this movie intrigued the fukk out of me, since it's about America basically kicking out anyone it deems not fit to live within it, to the desert wasteland of New Mexico? to live amongst the folks who've pretty much turned the acrid desert into a dystopian settlement and refer to themselves as "Bad Batches" since they weren't good enough to be American anymore.

Starts off with a 'pawg' being kicked out for reasons we were never told (The world building in this is non-existant, so you meet what you see and have to make sense of it with no back story) and within hours of being out in the desert, she gets ambushed by some people on a golf cart and is found chained to a pole and gets her right arm and leg chopped off, because the people she's met are cannibals.
As dark as that shyt seemed, the tone of the movie changes DRAMATICALLY after she eventually evades her captors and meets up with another settlement that's far more welcoming than the one she was unlucky enough to be captured by, and the rest of the movie is basically her deciding she doesn't like being out there, after the 3 months has passed and ultimately getting herself in a situation in which she takes a little girl, that belongs to the supposed leader of the previous settlement she got away from, The cannibals.

This movie features Keanue Reeves. Jason Mamoa, Giovanni Ribisi and fukking JIM CARREY apparently, because I saw his names in the post credits and they are all WASTED in this shyt. I think they did this movie as community service or as some sort of weird favour to the producer/director because none of them are memorable. Dialogue is wasted and at times non-existent as you slog through multiple expose shots showcasing shyt you quickly lose interest in, with Keanu being some sort of Cult Leader/God Figure to the people of his settlement, since he keeps them happy with drugs, music and working toilets out in the desert.
The ending doesn't resolver anything and all it does, really, is make you wonder if this movie really needed to be made since it's nothing more than scenes connected to a very anti-climatic ending that solves nothing, explains even less in how mundane the decision behind it all was.

2.1/10
