I remember really liking his Owen Wilson action hero style war movie called Behind Enemy Lines when I was younger but I see it's like 37% on Rotten Tomatoes so I'm curious if I just had terrible taste back then lol

I also liked movies like Enemy of the State which was panned by critics at the time and 71% on RT, but every time I watch it it's entertaining and more relevant every day.

There were a lot of really good "bad movies" back then. Pure shit movies existed back then too, but the "good bad" movies seem to be gone.
Which sucks because the Netflix era should give us a ton of them! Instead they're just shit.

Crimson Tide [1995] - 7/10
It was nothing groundbreaking but it was still an interesting post-Cold War thriller. The only unrealistic bit was how spacious some parts of the submarine appeared to be lol.

Finally got to watch
I wanna dance with somebody - aka Whitney Houston.
I was too young to appreciate her (not really), but all i know of her is the epic movie of The Bodyguard. Didn't know she was so big.
1) beat elvis, beat beatles, and tied with M Jackson.
2) 2 diamond albums
3) 9 or 11 consecutive songs etc....
I thought the movie was decent as I had zero expectation with the wife.
Bit sad to see the movie didn't do so well in the theatres; 45 budget, grossing 59. I did enjoy it but as many siad, it had so many aspects which were just very lightly touched upon; she was christian, family dynamic, money issues, her bFF friend, bobby brown, drugs, etc...The movie was a good 2 hrs long.. was it needed? It didn't feel as long yet the only part I did like was her journey in seeing her music style change.
Each of these coudl have been developed more but only barely touched lightly I guess so it won't scare off everyone. Naomi Ackie who played her did a great job;and of course she never did any singing as it was just lip singing the whole time but dang she pulled it off.

you watch a lot of movies dude haha
smile 2.
7/10
i found it a little too long at around 2 hours when i really didnt have to be.
there were a few jump scares but overall wasnt too scary for a horror movie based on demons. it was more of a psychological horror. naomi scott did a great job, it was fun watching princess jasmine lose her shit.
also really liked the ending and how it sets up the 3rd one

Small Things like These
10000% not catered to a lot of us here. Not going ot be getting any awards for best action; cause it's a very slow grind.
1985 working man irish town and dealing with major influences of churches.
I can't even explain how slow the movie is but Cillian did put in a lot of work to play.
All I can say it - hard working man, family of 5 girls, man visits church, church doesn't do things properly, man feels compelled and that's about it.
There were a few scenes I had a chuckle - Cilian Murphy has a flashback wishing for a xmas present as a kid (a jigaw puzzle) and all he got was disappointment - red hot water bag. He's so sad and he goes to the barn and punches a barrel of ice.
Hilarious... i guess as a kid, i don't even know how many times we get disappointed on gifts that we never got. All the red pocket money that we know the mom and dad will just take away...
suck it uppp.
