Ad Astra - if you've ever worked with someone who had trouble "getting to the point" with a story, instead going down endless tangents and cul de sacs and only sometimes reaching the whole point of the conversation...that's Ad Astra. IN SPAAAAAAACE.
Still, very pretty visually and a nice soundtrack (it reminded me of the score to the remade Solaris by Cliff Martinez).

Opened in theaters last week (I presume it was a wide release). I saw it at the IMAX theater near my home.

Oh, yeah. I saw the preview for that some weeks ago. I forgot what it was.
I won't see it in the theater but I will see it once it's on a streaming service or on BluRay.
Thanks.

A hefty number of condolences from genre celebs, too. RIP Sid.
Watched the "Between Two Ferns" movie on Netflix. It was ok. Kind of your typical on the road movie. Some of the interview segments were funny, but overall it did not blow me away.
DudeBeing a long time fan of horror author Bryan Smith, I was excited to see that one of his books was made into a movie.
68 Kill
Over the top story about a meek , atypical nice guy Chip, and his dominant outlandish super hot girlfriend. (Liza)
Liza talks Chip into helping her rob a wealthy trick of hers. Things do not go as planned, setting off a string of outrageous events.
Lots of humor, action, and violence. This is the rare movie that nails it. The actors all grabbed the essence of their characters from the book well.
AnnaLynne McCord is especially good as Liza. Klonk, you need to see this! What sucks is that I bought the dvd, and 2 weeks later it shows up on Netflix!I just watched this and am smiling and shaking my head at the same time...clearly a sign that i enjoyed the hell out of it! Must admit to a little head scratching in the beginning, but once it got going it was a ridiculous joy ride. Very worthy of a
from me. Thanks!

So glad you enjoyed it!

I just watched Between Two Ferns: The Movie last night. Apparently, I liked it a lot better than you did.
I'm with Jerjo:

I just looked for a stream of the last Spider-Man movie. Netflix doesn't have it and the only way to see it on Amazon Prime is to purchase for twenty bucks. I suppose it's going to end up on the Disney service. Damn!

Was the last Spiderman movie called Homecoming? I know that's out on Blu Ray and probably DVD. Or is there a more recent spiderman movie?

The more recent one is called Far from Home.
Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.
Yep, that's the one. Guess I might actually have to seek out a Red Box or some such thing.

Disney and Sony just reached a deal that allows for this version of Spidey to appear in at least 2 more Marvel Studios movies, maintaining the continuity of the movie universe they've created. Sony has 2 upcoming Spidey-related movies in Venom 2 and Sinister Six, and there's talk of crossover between the two studios' stories. I reckon Tom Holland is going to be very tired, and stockpiling the baby powder to prevent chafing from all the spandex he'll be wearing over the next several years.

Chafing all the way to the bank.
I don't recall seeing Spiderman: Far From Home, but then my memory of movies is pretty short. I'm pretty sure that's the one my daughter went to the theater to see, but my wife and I missed somehow. That seems likely, as our library doesn't have the movie yet. Hell, we only saw Avengers: Endgame a couple weeks ago. They churn out the movies as fast as they can, and we catch up on our own time. Spiderman: Far From Home seems to still be playing at the theater here. Maybe we'll see it there.

Climax
One of the most bizarre movies I have ever seen. A couple dozen dancers are invited to a rehearsal as an audition to work with a renowned choreographer.
After the rehearsal, a celebratory party immediately follows. The sangria punch bowl is spiked with LSD. Eventually, all who drank from it start tripping.
The effects range from euphoria to absolute horror. For the first half hour you might think you are watching something like Fame, before it gets whacked.
The choreographed 10 minute dance scene is mind blowing. If you enjoy a "What the hell did I just watch" film, try this one. Mostly French with subtitles.
On Prime.
A Comfort Zone is not a Life Sentence
I watched the Suspira remake a couple of days ago. I felt pretty much the same as you guys. I liked that it was almost a monster movie because of how grotesque and bizarre some of the scenes were. I had a little trouble following who was who among the girls, and the ending of the movie relies heavily on hearing each and every line clearly at times, when there's so much going on. I found it sort of confusing. But some of that I chalk up to my eyes and a TV that's become a bit too small.
Sort of by accident we watched the movie Midsommer the next day. It has some similarities. It came awfully close to being a rip-off of The Wicker Man, but was still pretty engaging. Ultimately though, it's hurt by poor character development, IMO.
In The Tall Grass
Netflix adaptation of the Stephen King/Joe Hill novella. I haven't read the book, so I can't compare it. Weird and creepy enough. Probably would
rate this in the middle of films based on King novels. Worth a view.

Very interested in this one. Brought back chills from the first time I saw 'Children of the Corn'

just saw Spiderman Far From Home
pretty good MCU story
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
Anyone go to Joker this weekend?
