Weekend in Taipei





PRAISE: Another quick action romp that at least knows what it is and delivers on the involving action. The story about a DEA agent reuniting with his former lover in Taipei,Taiwan but now she's married to a corrupt, fishing magnate, drug dealer who he's pursuing has some good moments between the characters especially the banter between Luke Evans as John Lawlor and Gwei Lun-mei as Joey Kang. I thought Sung Kang as the brutal Kwang was pretty good. Wyatt Yang as Raymond also does well as the kid caught in the middle. Things are kept moving and it really felt like the film was leaning more into its sense of humor as it plays out and I didn't have a problem with that.

PROBLEMS: The action becomes a bit to cartoonish at times. One characters scenes were definitely left on the cutting room floor as their scenes just felt like filler. The movie definitely runs out of steam in its last twenty minutes. One character makes such a bad decision I could tell it was written to try to add some suspense.

Two movies that should have gone straight to streaming

Y2K



A24 so I wanted to give it a shot. The premise was good, but the execution was pretty bad. First, the casting wasn't good. One kid has a weird and unnecessary accent. Some of the characters looked 40 and some looked like teenagers like. It's supposed to be some random small town where everyone knows each other. The weird thing is that I believe it's supposed to take place in Brooklyn. The comedy didn't land. The teen portion of the movie was pretty bad. It's just the regular generic stereotypes of high school kids. It didn't give me any nostalgia feelings besides a couple of times. I'm not sure who it was for, millennials I guess, but it seemed for gen z. The music is all over the place, and it's a bunch of white and non-black people doing the skater or rap rock cosplay thing.

Werewolves



They used practical effects, which looked ok I guess. It looked like Thriller at times to me. The acting in this. :smh: Mayme was just there for her looks and the little girl was there to be cute.

Predictable movie. It gives very little background. It's The Purge with werewolves. I still don't know how to kill them.

I expect dumb stuff in these types of movies, but the weapons they had versus the weapons others had :smh: You had a year to get one shotgun?

and the ending of the movie :smh:

Solomon King
1974

4/10

I watched this last night on the road on tubi. It randomly popped up on my tubi recommendations last month.

This film was originally believed to be lost. Someone came across a copy at USC film archive. There was a restoration project to remaster it in 2022. This version on tubi is the remastered version. The original negatives are still missing, so when you watch it, there are a few jump scenes and scratches. They did a decent job on restoring it. There is a disclaimer at the start of the film giving it’s history.

I looked into it and the main actor was a local businessman in Oakland, CA. He made the film to try and go opposite of how blaxploitation films were being produced with excess violence, sex, stereotypes and language. There was controversy back then on blaxploitation flicks from some in the Black community back then.

The film co-stars people the main actor knew in Oakland, CA. who were family, friends or business associates. Nobody in the film can act and it shows. It was also filmed on location in the Bay Area of California.

The film is unintentionally comedic. It somewhat plays out like the classic “Dolemite” with how it’s presented with bad acting and dialogue. There are some funny, classic one-liners.

It’s an odd film but interesting too watch.

Synopsis

Solomon King is a 1974 independent blaxploitation film produced, written, co-directed, and starring Sal Watts, and featuring "Little Jamie" Watts, Claudia Russo, Felice Kinchelow, and Samaki Bennett, with baseball player Tito Fuentes as "Special Guest Star". The film was co-directed by Jack Bomay.

Conclave





PRAISE: I remember watching a news program when the last Pope was about to be chosen and there were several Cardinals so happy and almost ecstatic about being part of the process this movie reminded me of that......and made me wonder how many of them were faking their joy. The cast of this film were all outstanding including Ralph Fiennes as Lawrence,Stanley Tucci as Bellini
John Lithgow as Tremblay Isabella Rossellini as Sister Agnes Lucian Msamati as Adeyemi and Carlos Diehz as Benitez. It was so interesting to see the layers pulled back on these characters from personal desires,ambitions,mistrusts and their racist feelings. It also brings out the assumptions people have as others as if they were the geniuses of someone else's mind set. Scandal, corruption and personal failings are woven in with such great turns as information and revelations are continually dropped. So many interesting story threads are introduced even including a couple of suspenseful moments and even a slight mystery. Praise to Director Director Edward Berger and Writer
Peter Straughan for bringing such a great work together even delivering a moment that I really didn't see coming and made me loudly kind of chuckle because of my shock. Conclave is involving, greatly acted and beautifully shot and one of the best movies of 2024.

PROBLEMS: I would really be nitpicking if i stated a couple of things i had minor problems with.

Watched these 2 movies earlier in the week with my mom & her bf.


None of us have seen the original Spooks series (which ran for 10 seasons from 2002 onward) but Playahaitian noted it's quite good and can vouch for it. The mid-2010s movie was pretty good. Didn't know any of the characters coming in, but recognized a few of the actors from other projects (one from The Night Manager, one from The Day of the Jackal, etc). Enjoyed the twists and turns in that one.

As for Saturday Night ... enjoyed the frantic pacing of it all. It wasn't boring. Some of the performances were better than others, and the young dude playing Lorne Michaels some 50 years ago was very good. Believable in trying to stay calm under pressure. He appeared to have Lorne's voice and cadence down pretty well. I'm not the best judge of performances (particularly of these roles) as I've only seen snippets of the original SNL from the 70s and most of the 80s. I only really started tuning in during the early-90s or so, but I know of many of the iconic people who got their start there. I'll give the cast and crew credit though ...

The Stepford Wives - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org en.wikipedia.org




The Stepford Wives is a 1975 American satirical psychological thriller film directed by Bryan Forbes. It was written by William Goldman, who based his screenplay on Ira Levin's 1972 novel of the same name. The film stars Katharine Ross as a woman who relocates with her husband (Peter Masterson) and children from New York City to the Connecticut community of Stepford, where she comes to find that the women live lives of unwavering subservience to their husbands.

Filmed in Connecticut in 1974, The Stepford Wives premiered theatrically in February 1975. It grossed $4 million at the U.S. box office, though it received mixed reviews from critics. Reaction from feminist activists was also divided at the time of its release; Betty Friedan dismissed it as a "rip-off of the women's movement" and discouraged women from seeing it, though others such as Gael Greene and Eleanor Perry defended the film.

The Stepford Wives has grown in stature as a cult film over the years, and the term Stepford or Stepford wife has become a popular science fiction concept. Several sequels to the film were made, as well as a big-budget remake in 2004 that used the same title.

CARRY-ON




PRAISE: This was definitely Die Hard 2 lite as an airport security agent is put into frantic mode by a mysterious man trying to get a lethal device on a plane.
Jason Bateman sounds and looks like he's having the most fun as he manipulates various strings to control a very believable Taron Egerton as a TSA Agent named Ethan Kopek. Writer T.J Fixman infuses all of the aggravation and obnoxious vibes of traveling for the holidays and definitely adds some humor around the edges. Back to Egerton i actually felt bad for his character Kopek as he is forced to do things he doesn't want to that effects him personally, especially with his girlfriend Nora Parisi portrayed by the lovely Sofia Carson. The action sequences are good but there is one standout sequence that is so much fun i wish all of them had been styled in the same way. I was suspicious of so many characters in this movie and I liked that I was thrown off a bit. Also there was a stand out death scene i really liked.

PROBLEMS: I think this was the first time the way a character was dressed lead to an ultra predictable turn. Throw in a couple of on the nose predictable outcomes and to convenient moments. I wish the movie had maintained the ultra dark vibe it started with.
