Movies you're thinking of watching, but not sure if it's worth the rental fee.

Peppermint 2018.

Five years after her husband and daughter are killed in a senseless act of violence, a woman comes back from self-imposed exile to seek revenge against those responsible and the system that let them go free.

I get that this is a John Wick, multiple movie knock off, but its rare to see an A level actress take on this role. Jennifer Garner comes off as so sweet, I'm not sure if she can pull this revenge movie off.

I don't rent, I download *cough* illegally. But there are definitely films I'm on the fence about where I'm not sure if want to go through the effort downloading. "La La Land" for example. I hear it's good, but I hate musicals.

[–] actionkamen (23176) 2 years ago

Nah, La La Land was bad. I couldn't finish it, eventhough I don't hate musicals. In The Heights was way more enjoyable.

I like musicals, but I didn't care for La La Land, either. I can't put my finger on why - I just didn't.

[–] sslssg (34211) 2 years ago

Same here.

[–] Keelai (34858) 2 years ago

Ditto. I hated La La Land. Completely overrated and forgettable.

[–] Kowalski (75527) 2 years ago

LA LA LAND IS SH SH SHIT.

[–] samoanjoes (56646) 2 years ago

I doubt I'd like it because musicals are generally shit anyway. The only film I own that's a musical is The Lion King.

[–] Kowalski (75527) 2 years ago

I AM ASSUMING YOU JUST FORGOT TO MENTION YOUR COPY OF GREASE...THE GREATEST MUSICAL EVER...RIGHT?

[–] samoanjoes (56646) 2 years ago

You can joke about me, my family and my religion, but it's never okay to joke about me living Grease.

[–] Sparky123 (1679) 2 years ago

Where do yo download from these days?

[–] samoanjoes (56646) 2 years ago

If I posted it here, the mods would take it down.

[–] Sparky123 (1679) 2 years ago

Fair comment.
I used to do it years ago, wouldn't no where to start now, I just stream now.

[–] samoanjoes (56646) 2 years ago

I can DM you some links the next time I'm at a computer where all my bookmarks are.

[–] Sparky123 (1679) 2 years ago

Would appreciate that? Thank you.

[–] samoanjoes (56646) 2 years ago

Check your DM.

I loved La La Land - it makes me smile and the musical themes get under your skin. But I think you have to see the opening in the cinema for the first time because it deserves a big screen.

[–] Kowalski (75527) 2 years ago

GARNER IS EXCELLENT IN THE ROLE...THE FILM IS DISTINCTLY DERIVATIVE OF OTHERS IN THE GENRE...JOHN WICK,NOBODY,DEATH WISH,ETC...BUT IF YOU LIKE THOSE TYPE OF FILMS THIS IS A WORTHY ADDITION.

[–] April-151-CT (10210) 2 years ago

Rental fee?? I just watch for free online. Then if I like it, I'll buy a used DVD or Blu-ray off of Amazon or ebay. Because hard copies are always immensely better than digital copies.

[–] Kowalski (75527) 2 years ago

I RESPECT YOUR PHYSICAL GAME.👍🏾

[–] huwdj (4566) 2 years ago

Peppermint turned up on TV. It was OK but not great and I think I prefer the Jody Foster film The Brave One.

[–] Kowalski (75527) 2 years ago

YES...THE BRAVE ONE IS GREATER THAN PEPPERMINT...THE AMAZING MISS FOSTER...WHAT ELSE COULD YOU EXPECT?...PEPPERMINT IS A GOOD AFTERNOON FLICK.

[–] space1999 (725) 2 years ago

The new Jurassic world movie...i'll wait.

Top Gun II...also wait.'

I can't think of anything else because they're all comic book movies.

[–] Dogiswhite (1288) 2 years ago

Malignant
Prevenge

Not sure about either. Anyone seen these?

[–] Alocirp (683) 2 years ago

Malignant sucked. I watched it for free and still feel like I overpaid.

[–] rushington (765) 2 years ago

Prevenge is a great flick.

[–] Mustang (5418) 2 years ago

Peppermint (2018) is an ok film you just have to park your brain. Otherwise it is a very unlikely premise.

You can watch it for free on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gjU93Zzwi8

[–] Keelai (34858) 2 years ago

My library has practically every movie I want so I get to watch 95% of what I want for free.

But, it doesn't have three movies so I might have to shell-out money to stream: "Menashe", "CODA" and "Petite Maman" to stream. The latter about a little girl whose new 8-year-old playmate is her mother who disappeared. It sounds creepy and mysterious:
