Always loved action movies like this. And there is always a chance that Stallone's botoxed frozen face might move enough to express an emotion.

Stallone looks pretty good for his age IMHO. Finally saw Wick 4 and while i liked the first one I found the series went downhill like Keanu on the 222 steps leading up to Sacré Cœur. Thought the last one's iimplausibility was high until I saw the blind man!
June 12, 20232 yr comment_636053 I like the Wick franchise, but 2-4 have all basically felt the same. It hasn't felt as original and fun since the first one, IMO.Â

DiCaprio in the lead as the sympathetic white man lead is enough to get my gall. Maybe I'm wrong about it and it will be a good film, but I've seen too many movies where the show is told through the eyes of a heroic white man trying to save the misunderstood heathens. Just once put an indigenous man in that role for cripes sakes. Always, like all of history, told through the eyes of a white man. Just like Dances with Wolves etc. etc. I like the awareness these movies bring to the dark history, but I sure wish they would go with the true indigenous story without the white man intermediary just once. How we actually lived it, not how it was observed by others and not making some white guy the hero in our story. Edited July 13, 20231 yr by GCn20

Then it wouldn't be based on the book of the same name and it would avoid actual history. It is a really well-told, sympathetic story and I highly recommend the book. That the agent was white is fact. That he overcame other's racism to root out the powerful white people stealing Osage property (by murder) is fact. Feel free to criticize the movie for other reasons, but DiCaprio's character (and his race) is essential to the telling of this story.

And both Amazon and Shelf Awareness chose it as the single best book of 2017. According to Literary Hub, it was also the best reviewed nonfiction book of the year. https://www.davidgrann.com/news/2017-12-20-killers-of-the-flower-moon-named-best-book-of-the-year/#:~:text=In its citation%2C the judges,historical nonfiction%2C and an Indies Edited July 13, 20231 yr by Wideleft

For once let us tell our own history. Sorry if that sounds harsh but the white man's version just doesn't appeal to many aboriginals anymore.

July 28, 20231 yr comment_648503 Can't believe I'm posting this on a football message board.....  Barbie is really good. Very clever script, excellent cinematography and great acting. I didn't get the fuss with Ladybird, but Greta Gerwig did an amazing job with this. Helen Mirren as the narrator is a big bonus. Believe the word of mouth.
July 28, 20231 yr comment_648516 Going next week in a small town theatre. Had hoped to do the Barbenheimer double-bill like so many, but that's not in the cards right now. New M:I this weekend, then Barbie next week. Hopefully Opp soon. Excited to experience the buzz...
