Gladiator 2 was decent but not nearly as good as I'd hoped for.

Denzel deserves an Oscar, at least nomination.

He's absolutely one of my favorite actors and super talented.

Watching this one, SEAL Willis is leading a team to rescue an American doctor trapped in Nigeria and saving village people from boko haram along the way, but a more organised rebel army squad is shadowing Willis and his team. One of his best.

This will actually be the first movie I go to actually see at the Theater in a long while. Looks fantastic and it's one of my favorite Comic Book characters from MARVEL.

Perfect Christmas movie.

flybigjet · 12-09-2024, 11:40 PM

The Minister and I watched "Conclave" tonight.

Very, very good and very, very complex.

This is an "adult" movie-- you need to *really* pay attention to get all of the levels of subtext.

And there some heavy hitters in the cast-- Fiennes, Rossellini, Tucci & Lithgow.

Well worth the evening.

Oh-- and have captions set so you can understand what's being said in Italian and Latin-- that's kind of a "thing" when the Curia gets together.

Think I’ll rent this Christmas night. Make Christmas night scary fun.

If it's available to rent. Might not be.

The original scarred the crap out of me, mind you I was in Grade 4 and our teacher showed it in class just before the Christmas break.

Indeed! I paused and zoomed in. That's him even though that's no Official claim. The likeness is too similar.

That’s kind of a bummer then. He survived the first movie!

Yes, the original one is pretty creepy. I could see that giving a 9 year old nightmares.

Alfisti · 12-11-2024, 08:41 AM

Loved the first one, it was really well done. The second wasn't bad either but not feeling this one. Feels a re-hash with a weaker cast.
