One Battle After Another is getting high praise right now. I definitely plan to see it.

Watch Prey, it is the only other entry in the Predator movies that I would put on par with the first two. Predators (the one with Adrian Brody) and Predator: Killer of Killers (animated, came out earlier this year) are decent and give a little more lore on the Predator species. The naming convention of the movies is pretty dumb though. Avoid all Alien vs. Predator movies and "The Predator".

I feel like Honey Don't had potential to be really good, but its missing something

It’s being hyped up quite a bit and getting really good reviews, but the trailers do almost nothing for me, I’m just not that interested

Just watched Oppenheimer on youtube recently. Pretty boring. Dunno why it's the best movie of 2023.

But he bombed the Japanese -- subjugators, occupiers, and sworn enemies of the Chinese.

It seems like all PTA movies get a lot of hype. TGL’s gonna watch it three times at least.

Didn't really care for the Long Walk. I didn't think it was terrible, but I was glad when it was over

Finally watched Superman on YouTube. Maybe because haven’t watched the similar movies for a long time, thought it was decent and refreshing. Especially the main theme music is very touching.

One Battle After Another. Worth a watch, but definitely overrated. Can't see Sean Penn getting an oscar for this.

Its closer to 2.5. I guess 3 with like trailers and all that bs. But I think so. I've been chatting with my neighbor phill about it, discussing various things from the movie. Need to see it a second time to pick up on a few things, get clarification etc

I watched Honey Don’t last night finally. I don’t know how I feel about it. StTexan said it right - there was a lot of potential in there, and I enjoyed it, but I felt really let down when it ended.

Qualley is going to have a great career in Hollywood though.

I disliked Drive-Away Dolls so much that I have zero interest in another Coen-Qualley collab

There's no continuity between the two is there?

I was thinking about watching Drive Away Dolls, but maybe I shouldn't waste my time.

they aren’t related to each other, no, but I’ve read that they have the same beats

Anemone...another one that had potential. As the first hour went on, intrigue was building. 2nd half... relatively flat. No real payoff. DDL was pretty good of course. I can see his son making some better films in the future for sure, the talent is definitely there. Story just needed work

I will say this though - I really really appreciate these movies that are hitting the theaters lately such as One Battle After Another, Anemone, Honey Don’t. They aren’t these huge 350 billion dollar spectacles. Movies for people who actually like movies. I hope this is a trend that continues.

I’m kinda done with the superhero era. I really enjoyed Thunderbolts but man, everything else that has been released lately has been a letdown. Disclaimer though - I haven’t seen the latest Superman yet.
