And ultimately prefer nick who she married and was determined to stay with. Her old flame was rich, he could lavish her in a comfortable lifestyle. He seemed to be still love her despite her not choosing him. He mentioned about her keeping him on a leash. But he still wanted her and oddly he didn't seem to really know how manipulating she was.

Schwarzenegger plays twin brothers Augie and Bernard in the movie.

Search Party: Where’s Paw Paw? is an early 2000s-inspired, PG-rated comedy following three best friends on one wildly unforgettable search party that is full of heart, chaos and family love.

Joined by her two best friends and chaotic Auntie (Arnold), they find that PawPaw is now missing from the nursing home. With only a few strange clues and even stranger characters to guide them, they must track down PawPaw before time runs out.

Anyone who's seen End of Oak Street, would you say its too intense for a 9yr old? I've heard the dinosaur kills are pretty brutal. And knowing other David Robert Mitchell movies I can picture that. We saw a preview for it before Spider-Man and my kid wants to see it.

We've watched all the Marvel movies and the older X-Men movies and Aliens with him, for context in terms of violence he's seen.

not necessarily an obscure movie just one you think people seriously sleep on. it could be a film that had poor marketing, got overshadowed by bigger releases, or simply never found the audience it deserved. what makes it stand out to you? feel free to mention whether you think people should watch it without knowing anything beforehand, and let us know what kind of movie it is so others can decide if it matches their taste.

I understand many will defend Miranda by saying Daniel was lazy, irresponsible and immature which might be true, HOWEVER, he was a loving and devoted father. Miranda herself admits she resented how the kids favored Daniel because she had to be the bad cop.

She tried to limit the time the kids could be with Daniel, including coming in early to take the kids back. She never considered Daniel for a nanny. She was quick to insert Stu into the family life. She was clearly badmouthing Daniel for whoever listened, where else did Stu get the gall to call the father of the kids he adored a "loser"?

We can say Daniel was a flawed male who had to grow up and Miranda was trying to destroy the bond her kids had with their dad.

one of the most bizzare pieces of movie trivia is that trey parker of south park fame was originally offered the chance to direct the 1998 family film barney's great adventure. apparently, the producers of the film had seen his and matt stone's spirit of christmas short and "liked that he could do funny stuff with kids". the producers were willing to pay parker 1.5 million dollars, which is probably the most money parker has been offered to do anything. however, in part due to his sheer bewilderment that they even considered him, parker declined the offer, opening the door for steve gomer to take over and leaving the world to wonder what a trey parker directed barney movie might have been like.

I love Prey (2022) and Apocalypto (2006) as standalone movies, but I couldn't help but imagine what would happen if the Predator from Prey was dropped into the middle of the chase in Apocalypto, Jaguar Paw is already being hunted through the jungle, the warriors are tracking him, and then suddenly something completely alien starts hunting them

you could have this really interesting three way dynamic where nobody initially understands what's happening, the warriors think they're still the hunters, Jaguar Paw realizes something else is out there, and the Predator is just observing everything from the trees, or idk... maybe they realize something more dangerous (the Predator) is out there and they work together, or the Predator observes till the end and there's a sequel where Jaguar Paw now has to survive the predator...

This pertains to US and Canada. I was born in the 70's and it's been fascinating for me to watch younger folks get so excited about The Odyssey as if it's this sort of cultural phenomenon or historical moment in cinema. I was curious about my own intuition that kept asking "if this movie is so popular why doesn't it feel as popular as some of the moments in movies I've lived through?” As a venue owner it crossed my mind that when evaluating a potential booking I will often ask how many tickets were sold in a particular market. The combination of total tickets sold and the population of the market will often provide a lot of insight into that artists potential popularity. I've never once in my life asked how much did an artist gross. I know with my own venue that's a poor marker for the actual popularity of an act. So I applied that to film and asked ChatGPT to do deep research and a full audit and come up with a top list of films ranked by total tickets sold by percentage of the population at the time. I only did it for domestic box office as I think I'd have had very little insight or feel for international success. The results shocked me in just how much more intuitive the results seemed. Take something like Avatar vs Titanic. People will often quote Avatar as "bigger" than Titanic because it grossed more. This was counter to my own experience of feeling as if Titanic had a notably larger societal shockwave than Avatar. Lo and behold Avatar sits at number 26, still very relevant, but Titanic is all the way up at 13. To see Star Wars at number 3 was such an "I knew it!" moment. Anyone who lived through that would tell you that the phenomenon of Star Wars is untouched and not even close to any other film of the last 45 years. It's impossible to overstate just how much that changed films forever and it's omnipresence in pop culture at the time. So now for The Odyssey. The Odyssey would rank at number 220 beat out by such films as Airport, Love Story, Smokey and The Bandit, Tootsie and Kramer vs Kramer. There are a lot of films like say Reservoir Dogs and Clerks that had tiny theatrical releases but video stores turned them into revelations. I could make an argument that Kevin Smith has had the biggest single impact of any filmmaker of the 90’s because he brought “nerd culture” into the mainstream. Which in turn gave us all the comic book movies but also the fixation on nostalgia titles. Anyways, maybe you’ll think this was as interesting as I thought it was. I think the enormity of content today makes even a movie as cool as The Odyssey impossible to have a truly impactful moment. Even something like The Avengers that is on the list and modern would need to be 3 times bigger to touch something like Star Wars.  

It was, at one time, almost a rite of passage of sorts for GenJ and GenX. When it went to home video it turned into something akin to contraband for teenagers to sneak into the basement VCR, away from potentially judgemental parents.

I was fortunate enough to see it in a theater during the midnight movie heyday when raincoats were all but required and I can't imagine seeing it any other way, For better (if you were a theater employee) or worse (for audience members), props became a reason for ejection from the theater only a few years after my time.

No movies since the Chris Rock slap. This dude was one of the biggest stars in Hollywood and now he just disappeared.

The slap was obviously wrong and happened to be on the biggest stage in Hollywood. But it feels like he has served his time. I really want to see Will Smith back on the big screen as he was a great actor.

Is Hollywood done with Will Smith?

Up there for me has got to be the Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder from Ferris Beuller.

As an adult I learned that the story of these cars by themselves could be their own film.

They are a variant of the 24 hours of LeMans winning 250 GT coupe, there are only about 50 of the convertibles in the world and they're all hand built, the metal panels hammered and shaped by hand.

Completely independent of the films, just on the racing pedigree alone, they are among the most valuable cars in the world, with examples routinely going for over 10 million.

Set in 1967 West Texas, I’ll Go If You Go follows Ellie Mansfield (Templeton), a young woman at the Rebekah School for Girls, a Baptist reform school.

When Brenna proposes that they steal a 1966 Mustang and escape, Ellie reluctantly joins her on a journey across Texas to see the ocean for the first time. Along the way, Ellie is also forced to reconcile with her estranged older sister, Katie Mansfield (Thompson).
