The Last Movie You Saw On DVD or VHS or TV.

'Life'- a science fiction picture with Jake Gyllenhaal. Man, this one is CREEP-PEE. The 'life' form they find is unlike any I've seen in movies before. I would recommend not watching this one alone.

@glitterbag,

Yeah, loved it. Gyllenhaal has really gotten to be a good actor.

It seemed so real, so morbid, so exploitive and dehumanizing.....it made my skin crawl....but I loved the movie.

Wednesday night:
Baby Driver (2017)
Slick, funny, and rollicking! Super great action sequences and editing. Incredible soundtrack. And the chemistry between Baby and Debora? Wonderful.

Roaming around the channels last night, I happened across Fire With Fire. A rather interesting 2012/13 drama with Josh Duhamel, Rosario Dawson, Vincent D'Onofrio, 50 Cent and others. A side of D'Onofrio I hadn't seen before.

@Sturgis,

What's it about? Is it a shoot-em-up, crime and police thing?

Guy sees a crime (a murder) while in a store. He gets put into witness protection because the guy he is to testify against is a bad guy, a white supremacist. He breaks out of witness protection, guns get fired, some cop involvement, some physical altercations, more shooting, in the end... well, I don't want to be a spoiler.

On a 1-10 I'd allow it it a 7.4. Some of it was a bit obvious, some a bit ridiculous. Good enough to hold me for the full run and most movies can't do that these days.

Ooh sounds like one I'd like. What network was showing it, do you 'member?

@snood,

It showed up on something called Bounce. A recent add to the cable lineup (or maybe it was there and I missed it, since it's in the upper 1200s).

Quite a few good movies show there.

I have the channel! It's 1281 here. But, I checked ahead a couple days and it doesn't appear they're gonna replay "Fire with Fire" soon. Shoot.

If I spot it I'll let you know.

In the old days we would have waited for it to come out on VHS.

I know, right? I was the last person I knew of to make the switch from video cassettes to them new fangled discs.

@snood,

I'm slower. Still no discs, they won't last, I'm holding out for Blockbuster Video to rise up and bring back the tapes!

(it'll be a long wait)

With M. Night Shyamalan, I feel like he COULD be a good director but he always does something to destroy his plot in every film.

The thing that made his film The 6th Sense different is that it was less anti-fomulaic than the rest of his body of work. But I think the better version of that film was "The Others" starring Nicole Kidman.

@jcboy,

Shyamalan's 'Split' is supposed to be good. Anyone seen that one yet?

@snood,

It starts off as a very good psychological drama, but then twists into a Shayamalan movie.

How did you like Unbreakable?

@InfraBlue,

Tried to watch it twice, could never get very far before losing interest. Not a very big Sam Jackson fan, either.
