I have been watching more movies than spinning records recently. I think I am going to change that this week.
A short recap of some stuff I watched:
- Murder On the Orient Express (2017). This was enjoyable. Simple fun with a lot of big names starring. I watched the 1974 version not too long ago and that one was better.
- All the Money in the World (2017). Very disappointing. Could have been so much better. We couldn't feel any sympathy with the characters.
- The Dry (2021). Starring Eric Bana. This was actually not bad. Until the end. That ruined the whole movie. It felt as such a caricature.
- Deepstar Six (1989). I liked this one a lot. Great simple eighties scifi horror fun.
- Nightmare Alley (2021). I was disappointed with this one. I probably would have loved it more if I hadn't seen the original two weeks ago. That one was really good. This one looked fantastic. Some reviewers say the acting was great, but I was constantly comparing everything with the original and that took me out of big parts.
- No Time to Die (2021). After hearing not a lot of great things about this last Bond I wasn't expecting much. But I liked it. Enjoyed it more than Nightmare Alley and both were around 150 minutes long.
Maybe it is because winter or the amount of black and white movies I have seen recently that I craving some more easier and entertaining fare to watch. Probably the Ghostbusters from 2016 and 2021. Or a decent Marvel picture.
Or some John Wick type of stuff.
@inksb: what was that action movie you watched a month or 3 ago on Netflix I think that you said was simple but good fun if you like the John Wick type of stuff?
