Movie thoughts 2-15-2023

I found a missing Blu-ray. That feels more exciting to me at the moment than a fifth Indiana Jones movie. (I might be kidding a little.) Stories end and that is okay. I have mixed feelings about this because I think the director James Mangold is really good but I kind of don't want to see Harrison Ford punch out stuntmen half his age or younger.  I have not re-watched the Tomorrow War. I liked Michael Keaton as Batman as much as the next guy but he was Batman over thirty years ago. Maybe it will be nice to see him as Batman again. Maybe it won't. When your movie’s big moves include bringing back an actor to a role he last he played over thirty years ago maybe that is a bad sign. I am still on an old movie kick. I watched some westerns in the last few weeks.

Movie thoughts early February 2023 (updated)

I re-watched Dragons Forever. It was fun. I don’t think it is Jackie Chan’s best film but it is pretty good. It was the last film he made with Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. (Yuen Wah being on hand was a nice bonus.) I watched some special features on the Blu-ray, so that was nice.  I have almost no interest in the next Guardians of the Galaxy film as yet. Perhaps this will change as the movie’s release date approaches. Maybe I want a break from the Marvel movies, I did not finish Eternals or Thor Love and Thunder.  I am not sure I see the point of Black Panther Wakanda forever without Chadwick Boseman.  (Maybe if I watch it, I will figure out the point.) I hear from some that Eighty for Brady is awful but at least one critic I trust said it was good to see Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, and Sally Field onscreen together. I am not curious enough to seek out more reviews of the film to see where the consensus is. I heard Tom Brady’s cameo was bad but is it really that bad considering
