Social 🎥 Movies

There's a new one on Netflix that I watched yesterday - It's what's inside - it was pretty good, a bit of a thriller where they all change bodies. Kinda hard to explain without ruining but it was pretty fun

It's not the Freaky Friday with the Vince Vaughn the assassin trapped inside a girl's body? 🤣

I watched this yesterday too with my mate and his daughter (after we were at a group lunch for his birthday).
I enjoyed it and found it quite heartwarming, though not quite a tearjerker - maybe I've just got a black heart 😅

Storyline felt kind of similar to Wall-E for a bit with the whole fish-out-of-water robot learning an unfamiliar environment scenario with not-too-unsubtle moral messages of how humans affect the not-too-distant future, but I enjoyed the "family and friends good" aspects too.

Also liked the animation style, felt a bit more 'arty' than what I assume modern animation has been (being childless I don't watch many kids movies these days!).



Still umming and ahhing over whether I should watch Joker 2, I was initially looking forward to it (and didn't mind the fact that it was going to have some kind of musical elements), but after getting inadvertently spoiled on some things I've just gone full bore into spoiler reviews and feel like it is just not worth it 😂

I like what Dreamworks did with Puss the boot The Last Wish too, the story was meaningful and animation were unique, with sexy leads reprising their roles lol. Bad Guys is getting a sequel that was quite unique too. Dogman is coming up in the holidays and that visual is straight out of the comic books lol, my child happened to read the whole series so she was telling me all about it after watching the trailer, she's reading "Catkid" right now haha.

We owe Sony for making the Spiderverse which totally changed animation movies and I enjoy different artistic takes rather than the blend 3D presentations you can watch on Nickelodeon

As a DC fan I LOVED the 1st Joker, as soon as the cello/music sound kicked in I got chills (wow this is next level) and was so happy Hildur won Best Score at the Oscars. I've never experienced again a film where by the climatic interview, I knew the character very well and could see how terrible the host/guests were doing at navigating their discussion with him, I was like, don't say this, say that, oh stop it you're gonna get it, lol.

I was a bit meh after the trailers for some reason this time, maybe the world became more crazy than the actual movie after its release in 2019, but after seeing a 30% score on rotten tomatoes from BOTH critics & audience, ALL of my go to youtubers saying don't waste your money on this, capped off with a cinemascore of D!! After listening to the spoilers I'm so disappointed how the director wasted everyone's goodwill, time & the talents' hard work on the production, apparently it's boring and the character arc went from mid to horrible and bloody degenerate and violent, with the pacing destroyed by musicals that don't affect the story lol. It got a 81% 2nd weekend drop at the box office and fell to 4th place, any drop over 70% is catastrophic lol

I wanted to have just 1 sequel where Joaquin goes up against Batman, played by someone like Daniel Day Lewis or a prestige actor who never does CBM films, and have 2 mentally ill characters bashing each other intellectually & psychologically, that'd totally make a billion if done in the spirit of the first one (not a musical with a singing Batman), and I'd do a spin off with Harvey Dent - crime + politics + action to cap the franchise off. But Todd decided to burn the whole thing to the ground lol. They didn't even test screen this. Sigh.

Oh well we have Moana 2 coming up, people had chuckles watching The Rock's character returning at the theater lol

Will never forget my first viewing of Mullholland Drive. One of the most wtf viewing experiences of my life as a young guy.

Watched it again years later and the movie became a real favourite.

The scene out the back of the diner always creeped me out.

Need to try Blue Velvet again.
Kyle Maclachlan seemed to be a favourite of his in many roles. First time I saw Blue Velvet was like you say regarding Mulholland Drive. Dennis Hopper gives a bizarre performance, and the guy out of quantum leap also odd. Especially in the Roy Orbison in dreams part

I want to promote a TV show and this is the closest thread I can think of ....

Attention all the posters I know who like quintessential New Zealand humour - looking at you @Worried2Death Jono is getting his own show called Vince starting Feb 13 on channel 3.
This could be really good or really bad or somewhere in between. It could be Flight of the Conchords good - or it could eb an epic fail but I think this is must watch territory one way or the other.

I also want to support New Zealand Actors - I think it is great Jono has been able to have a rich career of comedy here in Aotearoa. And that we are a big enough audience to support this.
That is my plug. Check out Vince. Even for one episode.

Watched it last night after trying but not getting very far into it years ago. Wow.

Truly bizzare and Hopper is deranged.

Great movie about the seedier side of suburbia.
 
I have seen some trailers for some movies I thought would be good.

Working Man which is a Jason Statham action movie. I've been getting burnt out with comic book movies or endless sequels, prequels so a simple action movie would be different. I thought it was in cinemas in March. It isn't listed in our cinemas so it might be on Amazon.

The other one is Queen of the Ring. About Mildred Burke a professional wrestler. I think it is set in the 30s.
