And imagine most people of a certain age (in the UK at least) could sing along to all of "The Unknown Stuntman"

yeah it was very clearly Guy Ritchie pastiche but without the Vaughan-era Ritchie's technique of including actual jokes (or editing to give the impression of them)
also it's 50 minutes longer than those

I really disliked Bullet Train. The film sucked everything out of the book that made it interesting/entertaining.

as cool as the John Wick movies are, any attempts to replicate the films' style and self-contained universe have been almost completely bad. i think they're kind of a terrible influence on action movies, just bc they walk a knife's edge: they're pretty reasonably coherent visually despite being "busy" and they're pretty interesting in terms of character dynamics (despite the characters being types and not people per se...) and it takes a lot of skill to have them not be completely dumb and actually next-level. there's a lot of Walter hill in those movies, just the surreal take on a genre picture like The Warriors or Streets of Fire.

Didn't realize there was a Tetris movie until I saw a review just now, but I guess I'm mildly relieved that it appears to be a movie about the making/marketing of the game (with some Cold War intrigue thrown in) rather than a world-building sci-fi drama set in the Tetris universe or some such shit.

I got maybe 20-30 minutes into the first John Wick, then gave up, realizing this is just not for me. Which made me a little sad, but having been briefed on the plot/larger world of these movies, it seems like it *should* be for me. But it was a shrug, and the notion of spending hours and hours in this universe didn’t appeal.

having been briefed on the plot/larger world of these moviesThe larger world doesn’t really manifest until the last 90 seconds of Wick 1, so you could skip straight to 2 if that’s what you’re looking for - the camp aspect fully blossoms from thereob: ScreaVI is a good Scream 2 to Scream 2022 btw

Oh wow. Just been looking at what's coming this year and it's a strong list. As well as the forthcoming Road House remake, we'll also be treated to a movie of 80's series The Fall Guy, what must now be the third reboot of Planet of the Apes, various sequels years after the original (Beetlejuice 2, Gladiator 2, Twisters) plus things like The First Omen, Bad Boys 4, Joker 2, Venom 4, Ghostbusters etc.Let's gooo

IIRC the new Planet of the Apes is a continuation of the recent reboot trilogy, which was much better than it had any business being. Buuuut the franchise is with Disney now so let's see what happens.

Saw Wonka with my kids last week. It is exceedingly whimsical in a way that surely isn't to everyone's taste, but imo they managed to thread the needle with a pretty delicate tone of magical realism, kept the character likeable (much credit to Chalamet), some good dance numbers. Biggest criticism was it's very sanitized and tidy, doesn't really stake any sort of unique and memorable identity. The songs were eminently forgettable. And the plot was pretty ridiculous but they make it pretty clear you shouldn't worry too much about that. All in all, as a kids' movie, I enjoyed it!

I'm gonna be real interested to see if another Exorcist actually happens after the most recent one got ripped to shreds and David Gordon Green immediately split. I can't Believe(r) they committed to an entire trilogy before waiting to see if the first one was a total POS. Just keep flushin' that money down the toity, Hollywood.
