Movie Recommendations/Want To See List

[wj73]

Barbie was a blast. From the opening scene, an almost frame-by-frame homage to the opening scene of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the movie had me. Lots of fun cultural references and Easter Eggs scattered throughout the movie. It’s very witty - I literally laughed out loud several times.


It’s a fun summer movie, but will also leave you thinking about it afterwards. And there’s a fabulous soundtrack to match the high energy.

Talk to Me was solid, but definitely over hyped in my opinion. Some disturbing scenes but it never really felt all that tense to me. I don't get to watch movies in theaters very often anymore and I kinda regret not seeing Oppenheimer now.

we're going this week to see Oppenheimer at the Udvar-Hazy IMAX.

Tried to go to see Oppenheimer tonight at U-H Imax but it was already sold out when we arrived. We weren't entirely sure we could make the 6PM show so we planned to buy tickets at the window on the assumption that since the movie has been out for a few weeks, and it was a Thursday night, it wouldn't be crowded. Big mistake.

So instead we went to our local theater and saw the Barbie movie. One of the more unique movies that I've ever seen. For my wife, it was an emotional walk down memory lane. For the women in the audience, it had a phenomenal message. I could see sexist men being very very upset by it. I enjoyed the movie. I echo WJ73s comments above.

I'd love to watch it but will probably have to wait for it to come to streaming. My wife might end up watching it for a girl's night out, she's been talking about it a lot.

We saw Oppenheimer at our local cinema. I was glad I saw it in the theater because the Trinity test alone warrants that experience. I was mildly disappointed that the only showing in the "RPX" auditorium (which has noticeably better sound) was after 10:00 at night, which was not an option for us because the movie is just too long—I wouldn't have been able to stay awake. It's also unfortunate that the Uptown is no longer open to show that one. The bigger the screen, the better, and let's be realistic, most screens today are far smaller than the huge ones many of us grew up with.

I would have liked to have seen it in the IMAX 70 mm format, but the nearest theater that has that format is in King of Prussia, PA, and I wasn't going to drive that far.

Udvar-Hazy is sold out until Thursday.

Oppenheimer was spectacular. We saw it at the RPX Regal theater, not quite Udvar-Hazy IMAX, but not that far off.

Finally got a round to watching Guardians o FY he Galaxy parts one and two so I could be ready for part three. Has no idea Groot used to be tall.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Groot has some pretty cool feats of strength in Infinity War and End Game, too. Guardians 3 is a nice one. Like many of the Marvels, there's something to think about that underlies the movie. I love the ensemble. Dave Bautista (Drax) is local.

Watched No Hard Feelings over the weekend visiting family. I wasn't super interested but my wife has been asking to watch it for months now so couldn't say no when we learned our family had it available to watch.

It was solid. Nothing special at all but I did find myself laughing quite a bit throughout. Seeing JLaw completely nude was very unexpected and definitely was the scene of the movie (though more for the hilarity of the scene than from being sexual). Also, as a millennial roughly the same age as JLaws character I really enjoyed the conflicts with Gen Z "Doesn't anyone freak anymore??". I know it's just a movie portrayal but damn do Gen Z parties seem lame compared to what I grew up with.
