Shows worth Watching

[shaina]

The only other good ones that I haven't already mentioned are: Thor: Ragnarok, Wonder Woman, American Made, Wind River, John Wick 2
I can't even remember which season of Bosch I'm on-- they all look the same to me...
Unlocked was alright. Sadly, 'entertaining' is all we can say about any of the top movies of the year, and *much* less about anything else that came out.
Shape of Water is literally a remake of Splash written by a goth kid who had to turn in an 'original' script for his homework. Watchable, but once you know where the *entire* storyline was stolen from, it doesn't deserve any awards.

Thor: Ragnarok, Wonder Woman, American Made, Wind River, John Wick 2

I haven't watched Wind River yet I would agree on those picks being entertaining meaning i didn't have to watch them over 3 days on the account of falling asleep through them, but i wouldn't consider them being a "New Release", if you know what i mean, but for sure entertaining in a good way, and did keep my attention, just like Unlock did. As i said i was working on my server and tried a few B Seagal movies on Netflix as well, and after 5 -10 min in i switched it to something else. Actually switched it to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, i have watched it a few times, and still find it entertaining

They put a lot of hype on Shape of Water, and i hear good and bad things about it , and really it depended on the Age of the person i asked, really the reason i didn't rush to watch it. I actually glanced through The Post dvd screener, but that i have to be in the mood...
It really makes you think on the academy and what they look at and see how they vote for these movies that win

PS. I can say myself Meg, when it comes to a movie that has great visual effects and action, and a half decent story line, I still think Deadpool is up there on the list, especially with surround sound blasting
Must be pretty good watching it in your theater room buddy

Thor:Ragnarok was OK but I felt it had some serious missteps. I liked Wonder Woman but if you really think about it, it as a mediocre movie that's only elevated by how good Gal Gadot is in the role. Haven't seen American Made. Fan of both the leads in Wind River but it's essentially 2 hours of boredom punctuated by a couple of extremely violent action scenes. John Wick 2 I found to be a major disappointment but maybe only because of how much I liked John Wick 1.

...i have to say at least Mollys Game was by far one of the best movies out there to view, that i really enjoyed.

Again just my opinion...

That was some of the inspiration (gambling), for our "Oscar®" party!! I totally agree with you!

@Meg: Thor: Ragnarok, Wonder Woman, American Made, Wind River, John Wick 2 were all very entertaining too.

Sadly, I had to review a list of the top 100 movies of 2017 to dredge up the short list that I made. New releases worth watching have been, ftmp, dreadful for the past couple months.

BEST B-movie I've seen in a while: Accident Man (2018) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6237612/

It's a good mix of cheese, action, decent storyline, fun characters.

I've found Scott Adkins to be my go-to action star when I want a decent movie to help keep me awake at work. Hard Target 2 was pretty decent, too.

Fan of both the leads in Wind River but it's essentially 2 hours of boredom punctuated by a couple of extremely violent action scenes.

Clearly, I would have preferred 2 hours of extremely violent action, but I was willing to settle for the non-cokehead Olsen, Renner playing a marksman (I know, it's a stretch...), a decent murder mystery, and a solid stage and cinematography (albeit very white and cold*).


*Shut up

AND... Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was really good for what it was.

I can't stand Kevin Hart. Won't watch any movie he is in. He's really just an annoying version of Chris Tucker (who I liked, BTW).

Unfortunately we will see more movies come out that are just remakes of older (better) movies. Hollywood has been doing it for a long time. They figure enough time has gone by and the younger people going to the movies will have been too young or not born yet to recognize the story.

I did like "American Made". Will have to check out "Wind River", even though it does look boring. I have fallen asleep during bad action movies and stayed awake for an entire drama. So you never know.
