I like Henry Fonda westerns.
Thats the only western with Charles Bronson I've seen.
Henry Fonda was good in the Trinity trilogy too.
Full movie!
Finished the Irishman (broke it into two parts). It was a lot more emotional than I anticipated. My wife found it dull.
For those who enjoyed Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99, I'd also recommend Dragged Across Concrete. It's a slow build movie, but I found it gripping from the same writer/director of the previous two mentioned.

Went to see Ford vs. Ferrari on Saturday.
Really well made "based on a true story" movie.
If you research the true story (and actually followed the events as they were happening back in the 1960s
), the character that is depicted as the evil corporate slug wasn't that much of a bad guy.
So the movie takes some "liberties".
Makes no difference - this is a very good movie. Tense and engaging action. You feel like you are in a GT40.
Definitely worth seeing.

I forgot how good this movie was.
The Fly (1958). Pretty hilarious!
Finally finished up The Irishman. It was an OK story...some kind of attempt at an semi-investigative/storytelling thing. I didn’t think it was anything special.
Typical Scorsese...pretty typical for all that group actually.

I watched the Netflix movie 6Underground.
Wasn't a bad film . . . I just thought Reynolds was kind of mailing it in.

He usually does, and not First Class mail either lol.
Not sure I agree with that sentiment, but hey . . . to each their own.
I think it is more a case of "typecasting", ever since Deadpool. Writers/Directors seem to want that bit of sarcastic a**hole from the characters he plays. You see "bits" in the aforementioned 6Underground, but also other films that were pretty good, like Safe house and Hitman's Bodyguard.

Totally can see this! He’s stuck in that snarky Deadpool persona and hasn’t quite given it up yet. I don’t remember his earlier stuff being quite that way.
Yeah I think you're right, although I dont think anyone could have done Deadpool as well as he did. He does have an energy that fit that role really well.
Oh no . . . I will tolerate an immense amount of Reynolds "phone-ins" so long as I have Deadpool.
Casting-wise, Deadpool is among the Holy Trinity of the MCU, alongside Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, and Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America.

Knives Out. Really enjoyable.
Last few:
The Art of Racing in the Rain - 8/10. Netflix dvd. Sometimes a few moments can save a movie. This one was saved a couple times lol. At least it's not like a trailer I saw where the dog's expression (and body language!) was c.g.i. modified to me more human like - wth?! Needless to say I will not be seeing that one. The book is excellent.
Richard Jewel. 9/10 A ticket is always sold when Clint directs. His later films have a signature that is recognizable... The Mule, American Sniper, Trouble With the Curve (loved that one!), Gran Torino, etc.
28 Days Later (2002), Danny Boyle - 9/10 Netflix dvd.
Yesterday - Netflix dvd. Kind of alright. I like the director - Danny Boyle. Not keen on full screen smartphone text message exchanges though, or scrolling banners.
Midway - As expected, a c.g.i. fest. Some great Japanese actors who will be recognized. From the opening sponsors, seems like it's a Chinese film. Didn't suck as much as I expected.
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019), Marielle Heller - 10/10 One of the top three subway scenes (the other two: ending scene into the credits of The Last Days of Disco (1998), and Crocodile Dundee (1986)). She also directed Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018), which I liked.

28 Weeks Later is almost as good.
