i'm sure you saw this movie long ago, but today i watched The Other Guys on Netflix. Goofy doesn't begin to describe it! there were about a hundred plot lines and Adam McKay is too in love with the MTV style of fast breaks, but the visual effects, the actors and a bunch of the jokes were hilarious. i'm going to watch it again, just to see that 20-story jump and see if I can figure out how he did that! McKay has such a range of talent. started out writing for SNL, made friends and wrote a play with Will Ferrell, understands the sub-prime mortgage scam and features it in this film as well as in The Big Short, then does and amazingly deep dive into Dick Cheney in Vice. What a character. He's genuinely nutty.
Also watched Modern Love and that was a waste of 8 hours of my life! could have been okay, but it sucked in the way the ending was tacked on. so not woth watching.
did you watch The Laundromat on Netflix? That was a great movie. Again, stellar performances by the entire cast and so much love for Gary Oldman, Meryl Streep and Antonio Banderas. I watched it a few times.
Dunno if you liked Spotlight, but I will watch almost anything with Michael Birdman Batman Keaton in it. He neve fails, even when he takes on risky material like Clean and Sober. i loved spotlight and it was one of those films where the entire cast was perfect, from Stanley Tucci to Liev Schreiber to Rachel McAdams. and the story, set alongside the real events that were factors in it, like 9/11, was brilliantly written. Having been sexually molested by a minister, it meant a lot to me.
i like dumb movies too. Cleanses the palate.
