JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Two terrible films. Suicide Squad. Will Smith is always good. Jared Leto as the Joker was not. The enchanress was pretty bad. Death Wish. Another weak film from Eli Roth. Who bankrolls this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ii2 210 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Some Kind Of Wonderful (1987) So, I just dropped into the Discord last Sunday. I had a conversation with SteveMc and I asked what his Discord pic was. He told me that it was a poster of some sort for the movie, Some Kind of Wonderful. So I got curious and decided to watch it on Netflix. Usually, I'm a sucker for action movies such as Star Wars and Die Hard. But, this one didn't get me bored. I like the characters in the movie and how they play their parts. The whole plot is interesting too. The dialogue is also not that bad, either. Eventhough I sometimes did want a little more action, I have to say it was fun to watch. Nelson was my favorite character in the movie, with his sort of complicated role to play. After that, I would put Watts, and then Amanda Jones. *** out of **** Good movie. Especially the last minutes. Thanks, Steve!

SteveMc 2,674 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 @Ii2, Glad you enjoyed it! The dialogue is remarkably naturalistic, yes, and the characters are quite compelling. From a writing standpoint, one of John Hughes's best efforts. A strong coming-of-age movie indeed. I'll post a full review sometime in the future.
