Still waiting on the sequel, Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind

Watched on Friday May 30, 2025.

Is there a more meteoric rise in racing?  😂. This movie is still pretty dumb, but goddamnit I can’t help but enjoy the hell out of it.  Give me a Ricky Bobby / Cole Trickle movie you cowards.

I really wanted to love it, but there is a missing spark.  Has its moments though, and the kid liked it.

A lot of fun, and the only MI I’ve let my 10yr old see.  She was totally sucked in, and was delighted it’s directed by the director of the Incredibles films.  (2 of her faves)

The 10yr old enjoyed it despite the “vintage puppets”.

The On Her Majesty’s Secret Service of the MI series, with an outstanding villain courtesy of Phillip Seymour Hoffman.  (the best villain of the series, no contest). After the goofy, overwrought part 2, they bring things back down to Earth by introducing Michelle Monaghan as Ethan’s fiance.  She’s great as always, and it’s a refreshing course correction which helps to humanize our hero.

Better than anticipated, while Pugh and Pullman help it rise above the rest of the recent Marvel crop.

Goddamn this movie is goofy.   (and has an awkward misogynistic bent thanks to a screenplay credited to Robert Towne).  The action is fun enough, and Cruise does a great job going full Chow Yun Fat.   Special appreciation for Thandie Newton who is wonderful, yet is saddled with a role well beneath her talent.

Truly will show you the life of the mind. After every rewatch it becomes my favorite Coen Brothers picture.  (At least until I watch another Coen Brothers picture.)

Running the series before the new & likely final Mission.  I forgot what a solid DePalma film this first movie is, and it’s truly the best Mission behind entries 5 and 6.

Made with a lot of love for the genre, and actually manages to create some investment in its characters.

Rehash syndrome is strong here, but I really enjoyed Daisy Ridley

Still Madonna’s best movie next to Dick Tracy

Big, pulsing, ionate, overstuffed, horny, funny, bloody, bittersweet, and ALIVE.   It’s a big swing that connects, and I had a great time.

Loved it.  A great night at the movies.  I think Hitchcock would’ve enjoyed it

I always enjoy Tim Matheson, and there have certainly been worse films to bear King’s name.

All 3 stars are for the magnificent production design, and chariot race.  (which is one of the greatest action sequences ever committed to film).

The kid really loves this one, which is fine by me.  Solid horror gateway for the youth.

I just wanted to give Mickey a giant hug.

I think the drama in the plot weighs down a movie begging to be light on its feet.  That stated, thoroughly enjoyed both Basinger and Kilmer in this.  Extra points for Terence Stamp and his on again, off again southern drawl

Great turns from Kilmer, Sam Shepard, and Graham Greene.  DP is Roger Deakins

Great early neo-noir banger from John Dahl.  Michael Madsen is also great in this
