Amazon Prime: Something like "3 Degrees of Greta" - tits delivered. 5/10
xfinity: Kong on Skull Island - It had its plot armor flaws and as a paid photographer, that chick super annoyed me, but overall is was Exactly what a Kong movie should be. I had my doubts at first, thinking it was going down the worn path, there was some good explosions and initial coolness - I agree, but I had doubts. But with every monster, those were diminished. 6/10
Wanted to watch a DVD, flicked through TV channels first... ended up rewatching, Nolan's magician vs magician jigsaw puzzle of a movie: The Prestige. I still have minor reservations about the film that I rated 5/6 back then, but the movie is extremely entertaining in the light of the reveals. Suddenly just about every other line and just about every scene takes a different weight. A highly recommended watch... and rewatch!
Funny thing that. I had an Ed Norton phase and at the exact same time as The Prestige, Norton's Illusionist came out. I forgot the name of the movie and gf and I got lost as fuck, to salvage, we went to a movie theater that I randomly happened upon, like it was planned. I saw a movie about magic was playing in 5 minutes so we chose it.
I was like, "Hooooly shit this movie is boring, when is Ed Norton coming in to save it?"
At the same time, some hick was heckling the movie behind us. He was trying so hard to be funny. but he just wasn't.
I buried my face in her chest instead - a personal first for the theaters.
Never did see the Illusionist, apparently it was the start of his turn for the worst. Norton is almost hard pass now. He needs a JVD kind of redemption.
