What film did you watch last night?

Groundhog Day, the action version.
Enjoyable romp, though I was miffed at the ending, looked it up on google, and if you haven't seen it, search out the "Hulu ending" for a few more added seconds which makes more sense.
Not sure why it was edited out of the main version.

Absolutely awesome film! They got a lot of kick-back about it, mainly because it was seen as a bit of a 'kiss & tell' - it's not just their story they're telling, but everyone else's who was involved too, many of whom don't want it all shared.
I have no idea how accurate it is, but it's a great watch either way
Yeah we really enjoyed it - need some recommendations for other band based films, seen Bohemium Rhapsody, Rocket Man and Supersonic.

Foo Fighters: Back & Forth is great - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFrQxuLJ5Zo
Pretty sure it's on a streaming service.
And if you haven't seen Some Kind of Monster, that's kinda 'required reading'
Both documentary though, rather than feature film

Cheers - we'll have a watch!
PS - well done on reaching the hallowed 1000 posts, I'm nearly there with similar length forum membership as you.
Do you have a link? When I search 'Boss level Hulu ending' I just get lots of 'Boss level ending explained' links

Sure.
Classic Michael Mann, superb soundtrack by Danny Elfman. I remember buying the soundtrack on CD all the way from Canada back in the day.

Isn't it Romantic 7/10
I really loved The Final Girls, this is along the same lines but with rom com instead of slasher. It's got a great cast and is pretty funny but strays a little too close to actual romcom for my liking.

Reservoir Dogs
I first saw this over 20 years ago and I remember the violence in it being pretty shocking to young me, I guess I've got jaded over the years. It has the trademark Quentin Tarantino slice of life chatting between characters, a simple plot told in a complex way, and a lot of swearing but it's clearly unpolished compared to later works and Pulp Fiction in particular. An enjoyable watch even if the production values are low and it all feels pretty rough around the edges.
A classic that shows the promise of things to come but far from Tarantino's best work. 7/10.

Cherry 5/10
It's on Apple TV+. Starring Tom Holland and Ciara Bravo, who are both very good in this. The movie was watchable for the 2 hours 20 minutes of runtime. But, it never really grabbed me. I didn't feel for any of the characters. I didn't really care what happened next. I was only planning to watch half of it and watch the rest tonight, but, I realised that if I stopped watching I would never finish it.
To sum up the movie in one word?
"Meh"

Dragged Across Concrete - swinging between 3/10 to 7/10...let me explain.
There are parts of this movie which are totally gripping, well written and acted and are compelling viewing. Then there are other moments that feel so sloppily shoehorned in that they break the flow of the film and it feels like a direct to DVD special.
The story is quite simple, two reasonably honest cops (Mel Gibson, Vince Vaughn) get suspended and one is in need of money to move his family from a rough neighborhood. They get information on what they think is a drug dealer to turn him over for his cash and it escalates from there.
I had expected a lot of this, same director of Bone Tomahawk and Brawl in Cell Block 99, both films while flawed were fairly good watching and movies i'd revisit a few years later. This just seemed to drag with little development and never developed a bond for the characters.

No the original was better, the comedy was better executed as well. In the original, they played the comedy as if was serious and it was just them not being used to the customs. In the new one it was just stupid and over the top.
