A fun watch, 28 years later. Back then it was “yeah the government wishes they could do this”, now it’s “damn that was prophetic”. About surveillance overreach. Starring good ol’ Will Smith.
Last sunday watched Rush Hour 2, and the week before is Rush Hour. The second one is still funny but the story kinda take a hit. Not that the first one excel in story telling either, both is great comedy movie. This week gonna be rush hour 3. Jackie Chan movie kinda make me miss movies with fighter that’s good but still struggling with it, and always have his butt kicked in a funny way.
Anyone have any classic movie to recommended? Something from the 80s to 2000s. Been watching one classic movie a week lately, catching up to whatever i missed or too young to remember.
Dog Soldiers (2002), watched after YouTuber Rocklin Graves did a video on it and it felt like a good light werewolf movie to match my mood. No “elevated horror, metaphor for grief” stuff here.
It is what it says it is. Soldiers and werewolves. There’s blood, there’s deaths, there’s a solder fistfighting a werewolf, there’s some nice catch phrases, there’s badass fight scenes done with low-budget indie passion. It’s not going on my rewatch list, but happy to have caught it once.
Key difference from most other modern werewolf films is that you get to actually see the werewolves. There’s some quick editing during fight action, but plenty of chances to see the full werewolf design in frame.
I saw The Monkey (2025) the other day. Started out darkly comic, ended darkly comic, I had a good time. I don’t even remember if I’ve ever read the short story it’s based on but I’ve heard that it’s a pretty big departure from the source material, although maybe that’s for the best because Stephen King isn’t exactly known for being ha-ha funny.
After Hours 1985. It was pretty funny while keeping the tense feeling. Didn’t feel like a Scorsese movie. But I enjoyed it a lot.
