Watched the new Netflix film yesterday, Senior Year. Rebel Wilson plays a cheerleader who has been in a coma for 20 years. She then goes back to school to complete her senior year at the age of 37.
It is absolutely dreadful.

Whiplash was intense af. JK Simmons was terrific and deservedly received recognition for it

No doubt, Whiplash was a story that had no right to be as good as it was. Type of movie that makes you realize that creativity and invention isn’t completely dead in film making.
Though JK Simmons was a big reason for it working, another actor in his place and it’s not even close to the same film.

I’ve seen the judge I think, was good too.
I’ll keep an eye out for fox catcher.

Box office is off the charts this weekend. I even know of some pilots who booked out whole theater screenings (watch party kind of thing) over the last couple of days.

I just watched it.
8/10. I actually thought it was better than the original
The new planes look gorgeous and the fighter jet scenes were fantastic.
Less overt propaganda as well.
Watching it in IMAX was a lovely experience.

The only thing I would give the first one is the last act is tense during the f18 & migs action. While the mission at the end is built up their isn’t really any tension.
tho that scene over looking the mountains with the Sam’s and f18 flares all going off is beautiful
Yeah Top Gun 2 was something else.
Top quality entertainment and insane shots.
8.5/10
See this in IMAX.

really? my heart was pumping the entire ending mission lol. the challenge of that run was immense!
Though I get what you mean that it was predictable.
Saw it in the IMAX yesterday and it was absolutely crazy.
What an adrenaline filled thrill ride the whole way through.
Loved every minute of it, and managed to be significantly better than the first one haha

Pretty good diversity with the films as well at the moment. Top Gun 2 and Downton Abbey - totally different types of films for example, but both great in their own way. Would be interesting to see these two back to back one night.
Doctor Strange 2: CGI, liberal HR committee appeasing mess.
4/10
I’ve stopped watching “'Murica, fuck yeah!” movies. You can have Top Gun.

Hustle (2022)
Not a fan of basketball, even when you try and turn it into a documentary. (And the film knocks football, ironically)
However, watching Adam Sandler in a serious role is absorbing. He won me over in Uncut Gems and he does a sterling job here, too.
