Your top movies of 2021

still probably a dozen or so movies i need to watch, but my top 5 would probably be

Titane
Old Henry
Nobody
I'm Your Man
Dune
 
I have 2 acting performances I want to add to this discussion…

1) Willem Defoe in Spiderman
2) Sandra Bullock in Unforgivable

Both were very solid. Even though this was a bad year for movies, these two performances would stand out in “good” years, imho.
 
I've seen the original "West Side Story' on the TCM channel and I wonder if the remake is any better.
 
I saw "Licorice Pizza" on Sunday and it was probably the worst movie I've ever seen. The movie critics think it is Oscar worthy... :facepalm:


What didn't you like about it? I thought it was genuinely funny at a lot of parts. The acting was excellent throughout. The soundtrack and use of music throughout the movie as well was also very good.

I can't wait until this becomes available in the home theater to watch again.

After the movie my wife said well that was money wasted.

Your review that you said spot on seemed to not like the movie due to the premise of it. Did it really both you that much?
 
What ‘21 movies are available on the major streaming services at no additional charge? I don’t really see any of the ones I haven’t seen yet as worthy of paying for (PPV or theater).
 
2021 movies I have seen ( in no particular order)…

Don’t Look Up
Nobody
Spiderman
Eternals
Dune
Last Duel
Matrix
Infinite
Unforgivable
Many Saints of Newark
Quiet Place II
Suicide Squad
Shang Chi and the Ten Rings

I think that is everything…

My top 5…

Spiderman
Unforgivable
Dune
Nobody
Don’t Look Up

that is a sorry-ass top 5
Black Widow was also 2021. Don’t think it cracks my top 5, though.

Disney has most of the MCU stuff already as well (everything except the Sony stuff - Venom, Spiderman)
 
While I have heard Power of the Dog is really bad, maybe I will check it out in the coming days.

It's a bit weird. Surely, it would be more bothersome to you if it were a 25 year old guy that loved a 15 year old girl?
 
I don't know what about it would have been far fetched other than some of the business success this kid was having.
Maybe that no one called the cops on the 25 year old woman child predator?

Yeah for sure. But at the same time I know when I was 15 I would absolutely been all about a 25 year old girl. Right around that age actually I had a huge crush on my first year English teacher and she was probably just under 25. I wish I had something going with that teacher!

So, because a 15 year old wants it, all is cool?

If it's a 15 year old guy and a 25 year old girl then yeah. Plus:


*****SPOILER*****
Nothing happened between then in the movie. She showed him her tits and then later they kissed. You're acting like this 15 year old was railing the 25 year old girl throughout the movie or at any point.

Again…

if a 25 year old dude shows a 15 year old girl his junk, and they kiss, he is a monster and doesn’t even survive prison.


It is an age thing and a maturity thing. Not a guy/girl thing.
