Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

It's a fairly decent movie about an old tired and sad hero that's past his prime, and that's the biggest problem.  Does anybody really want to see an old sad worn out Indiana Jones as his life winds down?  There's definitely some good ideas here, but it feels like it lacks the POW Spielberg would have given it.

I actually thought that the absence of Spielberg helped the movie. The fourth installment was a disaster, mainly because his presence. The fifth (and I guess final) entry is a little bit more serious and the story actually makes sense this time. I enjoyed it immensely.

Mulholland Falls (1996)

About time. I always thought this guy had a very interesting life.

Yeah. So many of the recent Marvel movies are falling into that same trap. MADAME WEB = two-hour trailer for a sequel we may never receive (and that's fine) where the main character is actually called "Madame Web" and she actually leads an actual team of actually-costumed actual superheroes. I haven't seen WEREWOLF BY NIGHT yet but I imagine you and most other folks were hoping to watch a movie about a werewolf, not a movie about a guy named "Jack Russell".

The Ginger Ninja

I will watch anything with Deckmaills Diegahnn and Stergam Sehgn in it

Joystick Of Justice

Darkness Falls.

The Ghost and the Darkness (1997)

The Mire (2023) - There is a series on Netflix called The Mire this is not that.

Instead, it's a dialogue heavy but compelling drama about the final hours of a cult, right before they all get carried off into space or another dimension or whatever it's supposed to be. There are only 3 actors: the cult leader and his two top proteges. The problems start when they begin to sense that the leader is getting cold feet about the big moment. Is the whole thing a fraud? How could that be??

If you ever saw "Creation of the Humanoids" you know the vibe: an awful lot of talking but it's all going in the right direction. It was a mile deep in the "new to tubi" section. I may well be the first person to watch this and may be the last as it looks cheap as Hell right off the bat. The Mire refers to a codename the leader uses to siphon off funds from the groups bank account. OR DOES HE????

4/5

It has about as much action as "Over Drawn At The Memory Bank" but I enjoyed it. Could use some tuning up around the edges, though. I would definitely watch another one from the director, whoever they are.

Oy 😳😆😆😆
