Fucker posted:the really pretty shots and the insanely epic soundtrack carry this bad boy oh yeah there were a lot of good shots and moments with the score, although w/ the latter (and maybe it's just bias bc of when i was noticing it) it felt like there were a fair few number of moments that should've had a soundtrack moment but instead were just ambient noise and it kinda threw me off

Conan The Barbarian: 3/5 Fun film! James Earl Jones really carries this, as well as the variety of great shots and locales it contains. I was surprised at how much I remembered despite catching only small pieces of it dozens of times throughout my childhood/teens, which probably colors my outlook on it positively. I’m a fan of some of the special fx they use for spirits lol, it’s weird and at times hard to discern and it owns. very of its movie in a positive way.

Conan: Probably one of the most 80s movies there is. I thought the effects were pretty good, sets looked nice, and the acting was largely pretty bad with the exception of James Earl Jones and Mako. Big lol at the crucifixion and resurrection scene. Big lol also at Arnold's vomitous "bleeeaugh! Yeaauug!" noises when he takes damage. 3 stars out of 5

I didn’t rewatch my picks last year, but I rewatch Hell or High Water semi-regularly anyway and it was about time for another. I like this one a lot, I think Fucker is right that it’s missing something I can’t quite put my finger on that keeps it from being truly great, but it’s drat good. The four primary characters all turn in great performances and great line deliveries from a clever script. A lot of scenes and lines have stuck with me since I first saw it, like the t-bone cafe waitress, or Foster’s delivery of the “no. It makes me, CO-MAN-CHEE.” It’s nothing you haven’t seen before in a movie like this, but it’s all done very well. I love how well it captures the atmosphere of rundown small towns in Texas, I love the banter between both pairs of protagonists. I love how memorable even side characters who might only have a few lines are. I can’t quite call it one of my all-time favorites but it’s one I have a ton of fun with every time I watch it and I’m glad most people here enjoyed it.

watched Hell or High Water, first time I watched it was on an airplane and watching it on a big screen this time really does the movie justice; those shots of the Texas countryside are gorgeous. there's nothing really surprising in the plot of the film except maybe that the brothers didn't lose a bunch of the money through some misfortune, it really shines through the characters and their interactions. seemed like a very believable relationship between the brothers that really grounds Chris Pines concern for his sons. jeff bridges gives the best performance in the movie, always sweaty and out of breath and deftly pushing everyone else's buttons because he's pissed off at becoming irrelevant. nice neo-western, good pick

Conan the Barbarian People have no grasp of what they do. You broke into my house, stole my property, murdered my servants, and my pets. And that is what grieves me the most! You killed my snake. Thorgrim is beside himself with grief. He raised that snake from the time it was born. I love how quiet this movie this, sparse dialogue, sparse music. Little explanation of who these people are or where they are, they just are. No magical quest or ancient legend for Conan to follow, he just does what is needed and works towards his revenge. The giant snake fight never switching to some epic music is so great. I love the scene of Conan and Subotai comparing their gods. The few montages feel very different to me than those in other movies, they aren't pushing forward something occurring or demonstrating some series of actions and buildup, but instead feel like random scenes we just get a peak at, like a clip show for a series we don't get to see. There's endless stories beyond this implied, great for a pulp hero.

wheels on meals was really cool there was a lot of great comedy and karate and i liked it overall a lot things i liked: getting jumpscared at the bulldozer scene that actually freaked me out how sudden that punch was the baseball bat crack to the head that shocked me a bit with how violent it was again, every scene with karate in it kicked so much rear end people were bouncing off walls into full body tackles and throwing some weighty punches and going all in a handful of moments made me genuinely laugh but most of it was sensible chuckling which is fine i think thats just a cultural difference in humor the two henchmen under the main villain had the best scenes in the whole movie its nice to see the ol Second In Commands get their chance to shine in the spotlight the score was cool but i have a nitpick ill get into next things i didnt like: some of the cooler songs were used more as stings than full songs and couldve been allowed to play longer and develop there was some cool synth tracks that played for two bars and then got cut off suddenly when i was grooving the main villain out of the three climatic battles had the least interesting fight and it was also cut too short also i noticed at one point david i believe picked up a knife from the table with what seemed like the intention of using it but the next scene the knife was gone, editing mistake i think call me out on that if im wrong though sometimes the non-karate scenes that werent funny made the movie drag on a little but they were worth waiting through total score: 8/10 really good kung fu with some pacing issues and for a comedy action flick the comedy was just okay through most of it i liked the characters and acting in this one though theyre all hams good stuff

Wheels on Meals very good stuff. everything that needed choreography was executed insanely well, from the kung-fu and fights to the car chase to the skateboarding tricks, just mesmerizing all around. the comedy half of the movie was typically good too, it's not often i laugh out loud at a movie multiple times but this one got me good. every scene at the insane asylum was pure gold, the extremely stilted night club dancing and Moby getting thrown off the van during the car chase were also great even if possibly unintentionally funny, and i actually had to pause the movie for a minute until i could stop laughing at Thomas and David both gleefully saying "no thank you!" to hooker sex and walking off arms-on-shoulders which i haven't had to do in a long while. it's hard to really judge the acting given it's a very clear quick dub, but having grown up with the perception of Jackie Chan as this goofy older guy with a saturday morning cartoon, it was honestly kind of nice to see him be equally goofy but also kind of a dickhead. the Freevee version i watched had subtitles based on that dub rather than the original dialogue so i'm kind of wondering how much i missed that was lost in translation. wasn't perfect though, really wish the fencing fight was longer and some of the jokes fell flat, especially the nationality ones that felt mostly like cheap jabs without being all that funny. plot was also felt kind of messy despite being so straightforward, but in the end i wasn't watching it for the story anyways, just some good laughs and good action and there was definitely plenty of both. 8/10

Wheels on Meals: I'd never heard of this before, saw it was Jackie chan, and then was very confused where all the fights were for the first hour lol. All the goofy stuff was great, but I'm glad it ended with the castle scenes and more action. I liked it, makes me want to rewatch some of the Jackie chan movies I watched as a kid. 3.5/5

Wheels on meals was dope. Really charming and great fight choreography. I liked the fight against the punk bikers, had some cool stunt work. Sammo Hungs boss bailing at the beginning made lol hard.
