I'd gladly sit through either of the 3. Goodfellas was great for the fact that real life Henry Hill was such a fuckup afterwards. It was hilarious the amount of times he would call into Howard Stern drunk off his ass.

if you're a huge godfather fan you owe it to yourself to download "Godfather-A.Novel.for.Television.1977.UNCENSORED.EXTENDED" its a cut of the first two movies Coppola authorized to pay for being wildly overbudget on Apocalypse Now. Its 7 hours long and has footage that is not in GF1 or GF2. Its almost 75 minutes of extra footage so its not just a minute or two.
I've only watched it once and I do prefer the (new 4K) re-releases but its an interesting watch for any big fan. There is a second version that adds the third movie too, but not the new Coda GF3 edition. I watched that recently and while its a little better than the original GF3 release, its still very bad especially whenever Sofia is on screen and you REALLY wonder if the movie would have been better if they had gotten Robert Duvall back as Michaels brother/lawyer. It was completely ludicrous having tanned George Hamilton in that role.

We were looking for New Years movies and put this on. What a crazy movie. Just a hilarious premise. Everyone was great. Was odd seeing Fred MacMurry in that role. We watched Caine Mutiny a couple months back.
Great film.
2nd “new years” movie. I’ve actually never seen it so wife was excited. Honestly didn’t hate it. Dumb premise but cute. Hard to hate Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in 1993. Lots of other cameos too with Victor Garber and some others. Oh and the little boy’s girlfriend I recognized from Uncle Buck bc I watched that a ton with my Aunt growing up.
Worth making my wife happy!

I'm pretty sure I've seen that, didn't it have
a scene where the godfather tells the guys who to send to cut the horse head off?

Watched Boy Kills World. Man, Bill Skarsgard has been freaking everywhere this year. He's in debatably the worst movie of the year (The Crow) and debatably the best movie of the year (Nosferatu). Somewhere in-between is Boy Kills World. He's got some serious acting chops and makes a good action star (wish we'd gotten an actual fight between him and John Wick in Ep. 4 instead of him getting away with hiding behind his proxy).
As for BKW, liked it, was cool to see the main henchman from The Raid get a bigger role. Whole thing felt like one of those "comic book movies" based on an obscure graphic novel, designed to appeal to uber film geeks who like zombies and Kick-Ass and stuff. Which isn't my crowd, or scene. But regardless, it told a good story and the setting almost reminded me of a Far Cry game with its dystopia and malevolent monarchy. Only thing that brought it down, was, being a 2024 movie, there's a female lead introduced midway through who steals a lot of the main character's moments from then on. She beats him in a fight, is the one to finish off the villain, and is pretty much a masculine leader who leads things for the rest of it (to hammer home the political nature of the whole thing). At some point I started wondering if I was watching Girl Kills World now instead. All the female characters in the movie were domineering and masculine and most of the male characters were just sorta hiding behind their skirts for the most part, come to think of it, acting like little pansies and/or ineffectual buffoons.
Putting aside all of that shit, the twist towards the end of the movie is really good, I liked the Fallout New Vegas silver ornate 1911, and Skarsgard is a rootable protagonist. Cool to see disabled people being portrayed as huge bad-asses in these movies, like the main character of this movie being deaf / mute and Donnie Yen in John Wick 4 being blind. Is it realistic? No, but it's still cool. One of these days maybe one of these movies will portray autism as a superpower too. No, probably not, because Elon Musk already does that and any such portrayal might actually acknowledge that or make him look cool so we can't have that.
Anyway morning tangent-fest over, giving this a 7/10
