What are you watching & why? (splain)

[Fonedork]

I liked the “crank” movies

Watching the first John Wick again

 

[Cap’n Smudge]

I'm on a Jason Statham kick today. Watched Homefront, Killer Elite & now I'm watching Wild Card. I love watching this guy beat people up.

You better put Lock Stock and 2 Smoking Barrels and Snatch into the rotation.

And Revolver

Watching the first John Wick again

I'm going to watch these today. HBO/Max has all 4 movies available. I've never seen them but heard good things about the Wick movies.
One question: Is the pup killing graphic? That's why I haven't watched it yet. I know it's "make believe" but I hate seeing animals tortured or suffering in films.

It's mostly offscreen. But that doesn't make it better. They all deserved what they got.

Start at the first one and stop at the first one.

So, I'm guessing all the sequels are crap. Gotcha.

I just got done watching Flight Risk. It was really a really good tense psychological thriller!

If you are a big fan of watching really well made foreign language productions, there is a real gem currently on Netflix: The Leopard (il gattopardo) which is based on an iconic Italian novel, not to be mistaken with the older 60's movie of the same story. This 6 part limited series is about an aristocratic family in Sicily when the island is going through unification conflicts in 1860 with the mainland Italy. I find it to be a masterfully acted and executed, beautifully shot period drama.

I watch foreign language movies/series in its native language with subtitles which may not be for everyone as I think that watching a dubbed version takes away many ingredients from the original, but then again it is not for everyone. I very highly recommend The Leopard to the like minded fans

There is only one movie, in four parts.

The other 3 movies have a somewhat different tone, but I found them enjoyable enough.

While the first movie was a little darker/more serious, about retribution, the following movies dive into the ‘underground world of assassins’, and are basically popcorn action shoot ‘em ups.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker

Still watching old episodes of "Homicide: Life on the Street" (on Tubi) when there's nothing on the other 8 million channels (which is often).

Kolchak: The Night Stalker

I loved that show.

JW2 is good, imo. After that, JW3 is just ok, and JW4 is tedious.

 

[Blues]

I don't know how you guys watch that stuff.

Mostly sitting down. Usually with popcorn and a beer.

You have to make allowances for friends, or they won't make allowances for you.

(Sort of like what Yogi Berra said about attending friends' funerals.)
