The talented Mr Ripley A stark contrast from the book especially how they humanized the protagonist but still stayed true to the source material The lengths man will go just to belong to high society,to love and want to be loved in return,to be seen and heard,all this leading to a deadly obsession with the victim's identity. Similarities between Tom Ripley, Patrick Bateman from American psycho and Travis Fickle from Taxi driver,all three are pawns in this consumerist capitalism culture of high society except Travis despises it, Patrick lives it and is bored of it and Tom wants it badly.Call me a monster but I was really rooting for Tom,he's the only one of the three sociopaths that I feel some sort of empathy for mostly due to the humanization of his character(I so hate him in the book). Mirrors also play a huge symbol in the movie which makes sense as one of it's central theme is identity seeing as Tom has a fragmented identity of two halves Fantastic performances from our then fresh faced actors of 90s/2000s Hollywood mostly Damon,Law and Paltrow, Blanchett and the Late Seymour-Hoffman also shine in the few scenes they are in. Something that stood out to me from the crew apart from John Searle's stunning cinematography of the beautiful Italian riveria was Anne Roth and Gary Jones's costume designing,they truly deserve their academy award nom....... The movie boasts one of the finest wardrobes for men in cinematic history, seriously,I have never seen a movie that went all out in the men's fashion front to the point where the female character wasn't the one standing out not even spy thrillers with their suit repertoire. Jude Law's character Dickie Greenleaf was just slaying his scenes in style and charisma, Dickie was just giving designer labels back to back,a particular blue suit he wore at the plaza steps in Naples stood out for me,e b like say make I just enter the screen rip that suit from e body |

Fast X.....7/10 This movie was basically an excuse for different action/driving sequences... Story-wise nothing makes sense... character-wise nothing makes sense But I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it...the stunt scenes were incredible... Fast and Furious franchise is a shut-off-your-brain and enjoy franchise...and it delivers for what it is I now understand where the budget of $340m went. Too many stars and too many big action sequences... Didn't expect to see Goal Gadot in this movie And it was clear that they just found a way to quickly squeeze in Dwayne Johnson in the post credits Everyone was looking for an excuse to fight... The dialogue felt like it was written by some 5 year old... But somehow the movie was still a fun watch I didn't go in expecting some next level plot...I went to be entertained with over-the-top action and yeah it did deliver One thing about this franchise is that no one dies... They'll keep bringing them back so you can't feel anything when someone "purportedly" dies 2 Likes 2 Shares

I somehow enjoyed Fast X more than John Wick 4... I never expected that... They both made no sense but at least the action in Fast X was much more enjoyable...and more creative John Wick action was mostly repititive...it got boring pretty fast and I slept off midway 3 Likes 1 Share |

Baddestguyp: At the bolded, It's kinda funny, but true. Irrespective of the kind of accident they have, no one actually dies, most times they even survive without a single scar. SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't be surprised if Cena survived that blast unscratched. As for the rest of the gang i am very sure they got out of that plane before it crashed. 1 Like |

Baddestguyp: Jason Mamoa was the star of this particular one IMO..I thought Man bodied his role well enough and brought a much needed breath of fresh air, kept the franchise alive..Vin diesel honeslty when he's not driving, it's real boring to watch his scenes... 1 Like |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by majesticguy: 7:05pm On Jun 10, 2023 |
Babaj145: Star gini?? well for you, Jason Mamoa might be the star, for me, I didn't like how he was written. One on one with Vin Diesel and the later whooped his ar.se pretty bad like a kid. I was expecting a Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel kind of brawl, even the tiny Jason Statham stood his ground against Vin Diesel, but all we got was Vin Diesel whooping him up like a kid, he didn't even throw a single punch. If you saw the series SEE, you'd know why I said the Jason Mamoa character was poorly written in Fast X. He is one of the worst written villians in the franchise so far. I wouldn't be surprised if at the end he joins Family 😆. 6 Likes |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Baddestguyp(m): 7:17pm On Jun 10, 2023 |
Babaj145:true...this movie was far better than the last few ones Anyway I finally started my rewatch of the Fast and Furious franchise...right from the first movie... I have everything... I honestly can't remember anything about the first few movies...it's almost as if I never watched them... In fact I'm thinking I didn't watch some of them |

majesticguy:your definition of well written seems to be kicking àss And in that situation he did not need to kick àss...he was surrounded...he'd probably have been shot dead even before his men in the chopper arrived |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Baddestguyp(m): 7:23pm On Jun 10, 2023 |
People like talking about how the Fast and Furious franchise started as a street racing movie... But in the first scene in the first movie was a heist with cars... And we already had an undercover cop with unlimited budget driving a supercar and getting it blown up |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by majesticguy: 7:35pm On Jun 10, 2023 |
Baddestguyp:Exactly, it adds to the fun and experience. In previous installments we saw Vin Diesel go one on one against Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham and John Cena, so why exempt Jason Mamoa. Dude is evenly matched in comparison to Vin Diesel, so why deny us that show. And in that situation he did not need to kick àss...he was surrounded...he'd probably have been shot dead even before his men in the chopper arrived You seem to be applying logic or reasoning here, no be Fast and Furious again?? Nobody dies, i remember you saying the nobody dies above |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Babaj145(m): 7:45pm On Jun 10, 2023 |
majesticguy: If you ask me i think that was kinda the point..they gave us something different from what we were all used to and expecting..they have shown us already in the previous installments that you can't and won't win a fist fight with Toretto, that will be making it too easy for him...This one was a completely different kind of enemy, a more dangerous and unpredictable kind of beast far different from the previous ones Dom had faced before, this guy spent the last 12 years masterminding a plan to make Dom pay the ultimate price, he knew exactly how to hurt Dom, he didn't care about who could throw more blows..I don't know about you but I'm sure tired of watching the same storyline play out over and over again, Dom and the villain have one crazy fist fight, Dom somehow always end up winning the fight, then Villain later turn Family in the end...its pretty watched up and boring at this point..Dante Reyes to me is the perfect villain for Dom... 2 Likes |

majesticguy:you could still argue he didn't need to kick àss there... He's like a chessmaster...he controls the game... Sometimes I try to rationalize fast and Furious...my mistake |

The Fast and Furious 2001......7/10 People like to talk as if this first movie was solely about street racing when it clearly isn't... The movie contains heist scenes but there is far less fight scenes...they aren't fighting like special agents or performing heists around the world... But the current state of the FF franchise was never out of the realm of possibility...that much is clear after watching this first movie They aren't doing supernatural stunts with cars here tho...and they are actually getting serious injuries...stakes are real here Of course even in the backstory, no mention about the mysterious brother who somehow appeared in the future movies 1 Like 1 Share

Baddestguyp: Don't rule out the possibility of Dante becoming family just yet😁, one thing i noticed about the franchise is that they always keep the star cast as family. Two possibilities exists, either Dante joins family or he dies. If they plan on continuing the franchise, Dante would definitely be converted to family. Infact i see Dante killing Aimes for family. The whole franchise has been about family from the onset, you can't break family, rather you join them, Dante turned those mercenaries against their boss because of family. Also, there's another possibility of Dante dying, but not before he joins or acknowledges the importance of family before Dom. 1 Like |

Babaj145: I see your point and i understand were you are coming from. But speaking for myself, I wasn't really satisfied with that scene, I kind of wanted a brawl between the two right there. And a brawl between the two wouldn't stop Dante from being the bad ass he is, would it For the later point, isn't it Fast and Furious again? As long as the franchise would continue, you can't break familia, rather you join them. |
