Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
No matter your feelings about the MCU, you can't deny that when it comes to action scenes the choreography, camerawork, and editing, the talent was in TOP FORM.

I'm no math-type-guy, but the frequency of dance, cheer, rap, and breakdancing competitions ending up in ties seems HIGHLY DUBIOUS!

SOMEBODY GET NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON ON THIS! 😆

You Got Served (2004)

ME: OMG This movie is DUMB!

ALSO ME: Ooooh wait rewind! rewind! LOVE THIS PART! 😁

TBS-grade moviemaking at its finest. #whynobluray?

Saw this movie in the theater. Now, rewatching The Karate Kid (1984) as an adult I realize: Something is terribly wrong with Daniel LaRusso if he feels the need to ABSOLUTELY SWALLOW Ali Mills this way.

The Wild Bunch (1969) DVD & BluRay cover

I frequently lament when a good movie doesn't have a Blu-Ray release. In this case, though, #WHYNO4K?

Do the people making these discs even like movies? WTF?

Weiner (2016) DVD

From personal experience I know politicians, especially the charismatic ones, can be deeply weird egomaniacs. I watched this documentary partly because I wanted to confirm that preconception (it did), but also because I was curious how Huma Abedin could stay MARRIED...

The Waterdance (1992)

I don't remember where I saw this movie. Maybe it was on rotation on Cinemax or HBO in the 90s. It has stayed with me, though. Fantastic performances and a very immersive script elevates this from a made-for-TV type of story to a very emotional film.

All the Pretty Horses (2000) DVD & BluRay covers

Forget Batgirl, the studio-destroyed movie I want to see released is the Billy Bob Thornton cut of All the Pretty Horses, with the original Daniel Lanois score.

Weinstein killed an amazing movie:

About Schmidt (2002) DVD & BluRay cover

Nicholson is in top form, but KATHY BATES needs top billing! She tears it up!

Hit me just now that Clooney's Up In The Air is basically a tweaked version of About Schmidt. The story of emotionally stunted aging White men just aches to be told!🙄

All of these and Cousins (1989)!

mashup of teen rebellion and called it "hacker" to draw in an audience, not because it was accurate. Hacking was (is) overwhelmingly a cis white male thing IRL. (but then again The Matrix came out just 4 years later so...?)

Still tho: fun movie! Jolie & Stevens go on to win Oscars! + Marc Anthony!

Hackers (1995) DVD BluRay & 4K covers
According to this movie early hacker culture included a LOT of gender non-conformity. Every high-level hacker has some gender fluidity happening.

Probably the writers just conflated every "outsider" thing they could think of into a... 1/2

Amazing Spider-Man #2

Of the variants I thought this one was best. But now that I have it in front of me I'm like... is that web that he's squirting out or >cough cough< something else? 😲💦

Waiting to Exhale (1995) DVD cover

#whynobluray?

Directed by Forest Whitaker. Small budget, big returns. Tons of articles came out saying, "Wow Black people go see dramas? Who knew!?"🙄

This was TEN YEARS before Tyler Perry would make his first movie.

NO BLURAY HAS BEEN RELEASED.😣

The moment where Newman turns. SOOO GOOD!!

Holy crap. Until this I saw this movie Paul Newman was just a name to me. I figured he was a great actor because everyone told me he was. This was the performance where I went from "Yeah I guess." to Newman true believer.

The Verdict (1982) DVD & BluRay covers

THE best "bad attorney becomes good person" movie ever made.

Which, therefore, makes this one of the best attorney movies of any kind ever made. 1/2

Outbreak (1995)
April 25, 2025 at 1:58 PM
Yo, we were CRACKING UP! I guess it's a testament to the writing and directing that watching it all the way through the movie is pure tension & drama. Seen individually, though, isolated out, these performances are cartoonishly exaggerated ham-fests.😆 3/3
April 25, 2025 at 12:38 PM
to my tween kids how DePalma just streeeetches the thing out for tension, with the baby & the clock & the false gangsters & whatnot. It's like a ten minute scene!

Then comes the climax of the scene & Jack Kehoe's accountant character is OVER THE TOP with his "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU WANNA KNOW!" 2/3
