At it's core, a Korean remake of Tucker and Dale - however this adds a supernatural spin on the story keeping it from a tired rehash.
Very enjoyable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This gets a lot of bad reviews, but I really enjoyed it. Exactly what I needed on a Friday night after a long week. Went in blind, had no idea that’s where it was taking me. Thought it was just a dumb spy caper with Cavill

Kurt Russell as Elvis Presley? Unlikely

5mins in - HOLY SHIT, he looks just like him!

Much worse than Luhrmann’s Elvis and Coppola’s Priscilla, but elevated thanks to Kurt’s performance

Amber Waves (not to be confused with Julianne Moore’s character in Boogie Nights) is a proper Sunday afternoon made for TV movie. A young male model (Kurt Russell) meets old terminal harvester (Dennis Weaver) who eventually bond and come to respect each others generations ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reasons why this counted for opposites:

✅ It was the exact opposite of what I wanted to watch. Only watched it for Kurt Russell
✅ Animation and live action
✅ James Cordon thinks people want to hear him sing. We don’t
✅ Gargamel wasn’t the baddy for a change

Another week, another Kurt Russell watched for the Weekly #MovieChallenge. Finally watched the last of the Dexter Riley trilogy. All 3 on par with each other, decent Sunday afternoon lazy viewings. Won't change the world, but enjoyable time passers.

This was a lot better than I’d been lead to believe. Very funny, very chaotic Sorkin-like script. Cory Michael Smith nailed it as Chevy Chase. Makes me want to check out the first episode, despite generally hating the show

Another done for #MovieChallenge Week 22.

There’s a ~2h 15m excellent film trapped in this over indulgent 3h+ film. I enjoyed it, but it desperately needs editing, and the whole Toby Maguire segment needs cutting.

Just 1 unwatched Margot Robbie left

No unseen Kurt Russell movies for this weeks #MovieChallenge so did a double bill 🔁 of Kurt in trouble at sea with Poseidon and Deepwater Horizon.

It's a decent enough action movie, but it's a kids cartoon compared to the first movie. Goes downhill the second "Bad to the Bone" starts playing, and doesn't stop there

Completed #MovieChallenge Week 21 with my 25th Kurt Russell movie of the year, Touchback (2011)

College football player, whose life had gone to 💩 following an injury, has chance to relive that game, going back in time when near death. It’s a Wonderful Friday Night Lights

#MovieChallenge Week 20 - Thelma (2024)

June Squibb (doing her own stunts!) was excellent as a 93yo woman out to recover $10k after being scammed. Mangolin's script, inspired by his grandma, was heartfelt. Richard Roundtree turned in an excellent finale performance
