Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Terrific film! Loved how this one brought both the Toby McGuire and Andrew Garfield Spider-Man Characters back..Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Sandman and even the two villains who I hated in the Amazing Spider-Man series because I thought they were so badly done..Lizard and Elektro (Sidenote..The Lizard was one of my favorite villains from the comicbooks). I thought the storyline was really well DONE and I was pleasantly surprised at how big of a part that Dr. Strange had in the movie too.
I do have a question about that one Bumper scene at the end…I was a bit confused..so will Tom Hardy be back as Venom, again? Or was that a way for another movie to have a different person become the next Venom?

Mandalorian 2 points 2 years ago.

If you ever watched Dances with Wolves or The last Samurai, Then you’ve already watched The book of Boba Fett. I had high hopes but they are totally ripping off those movies.

Arcangel2020 2 points 2 years ago.

Well…if you’re going to go that route? Then you should realize that “The Last Samurai” was basically a rip-off of the old 70ies era mini-series “Shogun”.
You could also say that the movie “Water World” was a rip off “The Road Warrior”, “Avatar” was “Dances With Wolves” with a Sci Fi theme..etc, etc.

The Book of Boba Fett (2021) S1 E2
Arcangel2020 0 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Good episode. I really liked how we got to see how The Tusken Raider culture more. Sure we caught a glimpse during “Revenge of the Sith” and a little more in “The Mandalorian” too. But, I liked how this episode fleshed out the Raiders themselves and shows how they are NOT quite the savage creatures portrayed in the original and prequel movies.

I keep thinking I’m seein’ Jennifer Lawrence whenever Elsa comes on.

Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

Isabel May looks like she could be Jennifer Lawrence’s sister.
Kind of reminds me of the way the two actresses Helen Hunt and LeeLee Sobieski looks uncannily alike as well.

Never seen Yellowstone, but binge watched these 3 episodes. Really enjoyed it

Arcangel2020 5 points 2 years ago.

Highly recommend you binge watch all 4 seasons of Yellowstone! The fourth season just ended, so you can watch all the episodes. the series is definitely worth the hype and it’s a great show.

As the World Turns (1956)
CrimsonDawn 0 points 2 years ago.

This Soap Was on for Literal Decades and why it would be nice to have all or some of the 2000’s to 2010 Episodes I dont think any exist online

Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

Wow, I remember this Soap Opera from when I was a little kid, because my Aunt would always watch it. I also remember the old ones like Ryans Hope, Edge of Night, All My Children (my sisters would watch those) and of course General Hospital…the Luke & Laura years..LOL

The Ordeal of Dr. Mudd (1980)
Arcangel2020 2 points 2 years ago.

Funny thing, I once worked at a job with a co-worker whose last name was Mudd and when I made the comment/joke about where the old saying “My name is Mudd” came from in a historical reference? She then told me that her Great, Great Grandfather was indeed Dr. Mudd and she told me about how her family went through the ordeal of trying to clear the Dr. Mudd and the family name right up until 2005/2006 (I think). It was pretty cool to hear her talk about her family history and the ordeal they went through and how long it took to officially clear Dr. Mudd of any wrong doing by the Government.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

I am hoping for the best, that this new series of Star Trek will more along the lines of the shows like Picard, Star Trek The Next Generation and DS9 which are/were my favorites to watch (along with the Original Series, of course) and not the horrible mess that Discovery is (I watched..nay..forced myself to watch the first season and it was SO bad…I mean, really BAD).

Who Saw the Men in Black (2021)
Arcangel2020 -2 points 2 years ago.

How do you know if you’ve seen the Men in Black, when they are known to use that Nueralizer Flashy thingy on the people to make them forget? What I wanna know is..are there other agents like Frank, the Pug among the MIB ranks? Like English and French Bulldogs who are undercover! I want the TRUTH! lol

Total Recall (1990)
somniloquist 9 points 3 years ago*.

A Plea on Behalf of Practical Effects: This film is thirty years old, and most of it looks like it could be made today. It features prosthetics, model builds, puppetry, matte painting, and all kinds of makeup effects. And they ALL hold up. The only places that look even slightly dated are anything approaching CGI, which was mostly likely just blue screen at the time.
Technology will always move at a fast pace, and CGI in movies from just five years ago has already started to look laughable. Sure, maybe it’s a little cheaper and a little faster. But if studios would go back to investing in the artists that make effects in movies like Total Recall, there would be so many more things standing the tests of time.

Arcangel2020 -1 points 2 years ago.

I understand your views/thoughts on the whole CGI thing, let’s face it…there are movies and tv shows that have used some OR a lot of really awful/bad CGI effects (especially during the 90ies and early 2000’s). When Practical and CGI are used together and successfully? It works 100%.
Funny thing about people who are anti-CGI (which I am not saying you are here) and for example those who complained that Director George Lucas ruined Star Wars with the Prequels and “over use of CGI”. More Practical Effects were used in those movies than a lot of people realize (especially those whiners who hate all things George Lucas but saw all 9 movies in the theaters…LOL) and blended the Practical Effects with CGI.

The Big Lebowski (1998)
Arcangel2020 5 points 2 years ago.

One of my all time favorite comedy movies from the Cohen Brothers in their early years (along with the equally classic Raising Arizona). This movie is such a classic comedy with a great cast everyone from Jeff “The Dude” Bridges, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, John Turturro and Julianne Moore. This movie never fails to make me laugh every time I re-watch it.

Inside Islam (2002)
Arcangel2020 -1 points 2 years ago.

Yeah, having been over to Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen and a “few other places” while in The US Air Force and also having lived in Minneapolis/Saint Paul, MN for 5 years too? I have seen what the Islamic “faith” is truly like and what it represents. No thanks.

Yellowstone (2018)
Tiger8me 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Have you guys seen this? They are making a version of the original Dutton family moving to and starting that ranch, starring Tim McGraw and his wife?
https://www.primewire.li/tv/1376514-watch-1883

Arcangel2020 2 points 2 years ago.

Yes, “1883” it’s a prequel to “Yellowstone”. Looking forward to seeing it. It sounds like it has a pretty excellent cast..Sam Elliot, Tim McGraw, Billy Bob Thornton and Faith Hill (I didn’t know she could act. I mean that in an honest way, not a derogatory way)

Army of Thieves (2021)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

I liked this prequel to “Army of the Dead”. The storyline details the backstory of Dieter Ludwig before he became part of the crew in “Army of the Dead”. I liked the characters, the premise, the humor and how everything unfolded right up to the end. Definitely worth a watch…and yeah..this is definitely NOT a horror movie (although it does mention a few times that the Zombie Apocalypse is happening, but this story takes places right at the beginning and that’s basically it)

Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness (2020)

Yellowstone (2018)
DanoJones47 3 points 2 years ago.

By far— Costner’s best performance, IMO. Plus so much happens in each episode— it feels like its 2 hrs long. Now you know where the “take him to the bus station” memes came from, lol. Try Peaky Blinders, if you haven’t seen it before. Another great one.

Arcangel2020 2 points 2 years ago.

Yeah, so far? Not a single episode has disappointed.
“Peaky Blinders” is a great series

Yellowstone (2018)
Arcangel2020 4 points 2 years ago.

The hype for this show is definitely spot on, this is a really GOOD series. I wondered what all the talk was about and so I decided to give the show a shot..and from the first episode..I have have been hooked. terrific acting, terrific storylines, the characters are great. I like Kevin Costner as an actor and I’ve liked a majority of the films he has been in (let’s face it some them were pretty bad…not all..but some) and he does a great job as the Patriarch of the Dutton family in this series.
I’ve been steadily working my way through all three season in order to get caught up to speed for Season 4, which will soon air.

The Blues Brothers (1980)
yellow_rose1 1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

one of my most favorite parts is the church scene and the gospel music. James Brown kills it!

Arcangel2020 2 points 2 years ago.

Agreed! So does Ray Charles (Shake Your Tail Feathers”), Aretha Franklin (“Think”) AND the entire Blues Brothers Band in the movie which was (I believe) the crew from the old SNL show from the 80ies too

The Blues Brothers (1980)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

Such a classic movie on SO many levels. Pure comedic Gold! So many memorable lines to quote and the musician cameos and the soundtrack throughout the movie are great! This movie (along with the classic “Young Frankenstein”) ALWAYS makes laugh uproariously every.single.time I watch it.

Drunk History (2013)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

This show is hysterically funny AND you actually learn some really good & interesting stuff that you may or may not know about when it comes to History too. Highly recommend it.

William S. Burroughs: A Man Within (2010)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

I read a few of Burrough’s novels back in the 90ies…”Naked Lunch” and “Junkie”, because a few friends I knew were into the Beat Author scene. Man, both novels wee difficult reads…I later found out that Burrough’s wrote his novels while high on Heroin and he was a lifelong Heroin addict. Funny thing, the movie “Naked Lunch” based on his novel was actually a bizzare movie to watch and it made more sense than the book…if I recall.

Holy smokes !!! Damnation Alley !! I used to watch that in Montreal in theatres everyday when it came out while visiting my aunt and uncle. I loved that movie,, I think it was one of the first to get me into science fiction, But the very first was outer limits https://www.primewire.li/tv/33812-watch-the-outer-limits Think I was 7-8 very first time seeing it :) thanks arc https://www.primewire.li/movie/167628-watch-damnation-alley

Arcangel2020 4 points 2 years ago.

Yes, the original “Outer Limits” is/was awesome to watch and it made an impression me, watching the old re-runs late at night. I always liked Outer Limits more than the original Twilight Zone because it was Sci-Fi themed.

Arcangel2020 2 points 2 years ago.

It’s another classic cheesy/bad, it’s GOOD post-apocalyptic 70ies era movie. I saw it in the theater back when I was a kid (It was a double feature with the Charles Broson western “White Buffalo). Back then, the SFX were pretty cool and trippy and I LOVED the Las Vegas NV part of the movie where the city is over run with flesh eating Cockroaches. It’s another fun movie to watch. Man, I really wanted to own that bad-ass armored All Terrain truck they made for the movie too as a kid :)

Logan's Run (1976)
Drizzt 4 points 2 years ago.

Omega Man !!! that was a great classic as well. I think I’ll watch it today, thanks Alien :)

Arcangel2020 3 points 2 years ago.

Absolutely! I saw it in the theater when I was all of 5 years old. My aunt took me to go see it at a small theater in Guernville, CA. It scared the crap out of me as a little kid. I love re-watching it from time to time. It’s cheesy Bad/Good, but I love it…hell, I think it’s way better STILL than the wretched re-make of a re-make of a re-make that was “I am Legend” with Will Smith in it. That was utter garbage. LOL

Of course, not everyone’s cup of tea.

EDIT: I was referring to the series, not Jenny Agutter.

She was also in “Captain America: The Winter Solider” too as a member of the SHIELD” council (along with Robert Redford) and she still looks good for age too…imho

Love this old classic, I am very surprised they have not made a remake yet, Like Soylent Green another great classic https://www.primewire.li/movie/155455-watch-soylent-green :)

Arcangel2020 4 points 2 years ago.

Absolutely! Loved watching movies like “Logan’s Run” “Soylent Green” “Silent Running”, “Omega Man” and Damnation Alley” too. Classic 70ies era Dystopian movies I grew up watching as a little kid in the 70ies. There was talk of a re-make of “Logan’s Run” being made…but thankfully, just like the talk about re-making “Escape From New York”? It was just rumors and talk and thankfully nothing has come to fruition on any of that!

This one was not bad at all, I liked it.
Basically (without giving too much away here) it’s kind of like…”Narcos” meets “Army of the Dead”. It says “To Be Determined”, so I am hoping that Amazon actually gives us a Season 2 and possibly more..especially with how it all ends.

Lovecraft Country (2020)
fessologue 2 points 3 years ago.

Had never heard of Lovecraft! But damn, was I missing out!
I had so many “WTF” moments, I loved it!

Arcangel2020 3 points 2 years ago.

H.P. Lovecraft has been responsible for influencing a LOT of modern day Horror genre authors as well as Movie Directors (Guillermo Del Torro and his “Hellboy” movies are a great example). I absolutely recommend reading his stories (keep in mind though, it may take a bit of getting used to with his writing style since he wrote them all back in the 1930ies era) as well as the many anthology/omnibus’ which are comprised of H.P. Lovecraft themed modern day short stories by authors who are both famous and up and coming.
Another thing too…it’s unfortunate that a lot of H.P. Lovecraft movies made from his short stories are just plain gawd awful and a waste of time…what the fans need is a Director/Directors who will take an H.P. story and faithful adapt it for the big screen on streaming platform. A few that I can honestly recommend to watch? “The Re-Animator” is a fun, campy movie and my favorite is definitely the movie “From Beyond”.

Young Frankenstein (1974)
Arcangel2020 5 points 2 years ago*.

This movie is pure comedic Gold! One of my all-time favorite films from Director Mel Brooks (the others are Blazing Saddles and History of The World, Part 1), each and every time I watch this one? It’s as funny and hysterical as the first time I watched it as a little kid. Everything about this one is great…the acting, cast, the comedic timing/jokes as well as the hysterically clever take on the classic horror film Frankenstein.
If you’re having a bad day and/or especially if you want to just enjoy a movie that will make laugh from beginning to end? Just watch this one.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

A fun movie to watch. I really liked both the storyline and actor Ben Stiller in this movie.

The Return of the Living Dead (1985)
Arcangel2020 10 points 2 years ago.

This is SUCH a terrific 80ies Horror gem of a movie and without a doubt one of my all time favorite Zombie movies ever made as well. This one is a very clever homage the George Romero’s classic Zombie fare (many uninformed thought this was part of Romero’s classic zombie films..but it most definitely is not).
Terrific storyline, a lot of campy dark humor and great practical effects too. I always like to watch this one leading up to or ON Halloween night.

K-Ville (2007)
PonderThis 2 points 3 years ago.

I’ve been curious about Cole Hauser since I’ve been watching Yellowstone. I found him here on another drama and decided to google him. To my great surprise his dad is Wings Hauser and Wings was on the soap opera The Young and the Restless and that is where I first saw Wings (telling my age aren’t I?). Wings has been in many movies and tv shows and it looks like Cole has become a fine actor just like his dad. Now I see a strong resemblance to his dad and I kept thinking he looked like someone from tv or the movies!

Arcangel2020 2 points 2 years ago.

Wings Hauser was one of those D-list action movie stars back in the 80ies and 90ies and was in some really, really cheesy-bad Action films. Cole Hauser has been in a few fairly big Action movies throughout the years…”Pitch Black” and the second Fast & Furious franchise film set in Miami, FL. Haven’t watched “Yellowstone” yet…I ‘ve been planning to do so

S.O.Z. Soldados o Zombies (2021)
Arcangel2020 4 points 2 years ago.

S.O.Z…basically Narcos meets The Walking Dead (back when it was a good series to watch) meets Army of the Living Dead. The first episode is a bit of a slow burn, but it kicks into overdrive afterwards. Oh and one should always be ware of Zombie Pigs..LOL

The Longest Yard (1974)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

Terrific 70ies era sports-themed movie starring legendary actor Burt Reynolds. Sure it’s now considered seriously “dated” having been made back in the 70ies, but it’s still a fun movie to watch now and then. Don’t even bother watching the horrible re-make that was made several years ago with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock (I like both actors in a number of others movies they have been in, in the past).

The Woman in Black (2012)
Arcangel2020 2 points 2 years ago.

This is a terrific film and the very first one I saw Daniel Radcliffe in that was not Harry Potter related and I thought he did a very good job in the role of the main character in the movie too. I liked the plot/premise of the movie, the setting of the story and I thought effectively creepy/spooky. It’s definitely worth a watch imho.

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain (2021)
Arcangel2020 -1 points 2 years ago. (Contains Spoilers)

Bourdain used to get on my nerves something fierce the few times I watched his show “No Reservations”…I think it was the “attitude” he portrayed on the show itself that got on my nerves the most and I thought that Andrew Zimmern’s “Bizzare Foods” was a way better series that respected the country & cultures he highlighted each episode. Maybe it was the way the show was edited that was the cause of how I felt about it.
It is a shame that Bourdain ended up committing suicide

Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

Not my favorite Mel Brooks movie (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and History of The World are what I like to call the “Holy Trinity of Comedic Movies by Mel Brooks”…but still a pretty hysterically funny take off on the “Star Wars” movies and Sci-Fi

Nowhere Man (1995)
Arcangel2020 1 points 2 years ago.

I remember this series and back when it debuted on the UPN Network. It along with Star Trek: Voyager and several others were the “Flagship” shows of the (then) new network. I thought it was a really good show and it totally reminded me of older shows like “The Prisoner” (which I watched the repeats as a kid on a local PBS station), Dark Skies and several others as well.
I thought it was unfortunate that it ended after just one season.
