What's the last movie you saw and rate it...

Ahh, I knew Wild Robot would involve onions...

Transformers One was surprisingly good too. Watched it yesterday with my 16-yr old (who grew up watching the Transformers Prime cartoons).

Fall Guy - solid B, which is all I expected. Great stunts and action, predictable story and campy fun for everyone. My wife appreciated the romance but she's a Hallmark movie gal so take that as you will.

Transformers Prime is a solid TV show, I binged it when it was on Netflix a couple of years ago.

Brian Tyler who composed Transformers Prime also did the score for Transformers One.

Brian snuck in an Easter egg where he used one of the sound tracks from Prime onto One

Moving down the 2023 Oscar Nominees list.

This movie was pretty funny. Basically a distinguished Black author writes non-racial high-brow novels which don't get much fanfare. So hard up on cash he writes a sterotypical autobiography from the POV of thug escaped convict. Novel is a hit and he has to pretend to be said thug.

Beetlejuice 2 was "fine". You compare it to the original to see just how different movies are now, even if a lot of the same people are involved. Tim Burton's name is attached to it, but I don't know how involved he was.

Michael Keaton is in his 70's now and really doesn't do a good Beetlejuice anymore. Very low energy, no physical acting, and his voice is very weak and tired sounding. They waited too long I guess

4/10

In Broad Day Light 9/10

True story but they made a movie out of it.
Lost a LOT of money but due to the great theme / story / social justice, Louis Koo financed the movie.
The movie earned 16 nominations at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards ain't a joke.
SO many old aged actors each despite 10 - 15 mins screen time, did an amazing job.

What's it about?

Many years ago people caught nurse washing 5-10 seniors all lined up at the patio / rooftop and she used a garden hose to shower them. That was the huge story - how old aged home are now privatized (HK gov't all outsourced); yet with so many infractions, yet none of them are caught or closed down.

The other side of the coin - do you know how tough it is to get into a care home?
How many of them are short staffed?
These "care homes" houses low income, mentally weak / unstable, lonely individuals...

Very well filmed, some onions chopping towards the end and how society, the law, the injustice sometimes are good yet at most times are bad.

Very worthy of a film in HK that's ain't about cops, love, Andy Lau, or some cocaine genre movie.

Glass Onion - A Knives Out Mystery - 9/10

I loved this. A great mix of mystery and plot twists along with great comedy. After going through a bunch of Agatha Christie stuff recently it's sort of like a slightly parody take on her style. I haven't seen the first one yet so now it's high up on my to-watch list.
