#Movies . . .

I just finished watching #TrainDreams (2025) which is 1 of the 10 movies nominated for Best Picture at the #Oscars tonight.

It's an interesting, low key #movie about an ordinary man (that is narrated in part) who sees some awful things happen around him & who suffers a terrible loss (much like the characters in #Hamnet) but who otherwise lives a life of little consequence (as most of us do).

I liked it & it has no chance of winning but I recommend watching it if you can still find it at the theater or streaming it online. I watched it for free on my favorite #AltStreaming channel.

Only 3 more movies on the Best Picture list remaining to been seen. I'm watching #Bugonia now. Don't think I'll be able to watch the other 2 -- #SentimentalValue or #Secret Agent before the #Oscars award show tonight but I'll give it a try.

@Starcade

Really liked #RentalFamily that I watched on an #Altstreaming channel for free

It's available on #DVD but I'm not ready to pay the current asking price of about $45 (including shipping & tax) for it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@nedraggett I didn't go to see it at my local #AMC & I'm not going to subscribe to pay to see it on #Disney either.

I'll watching for FREE on any #AltStreaming channel that has it BUT I am going to buy the #DVD if/when one is released because I want to have all 3 of the #Tron movies to make a set.

While I was at my local #AMC yesterday, I saw a trailer for #Greenland2 due to be released on Jan 9, 2026.

But I didn't recall ever hearing about or seeing #Greeland1, which is not surprising because it was NEVER released theatrically.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_(film)

It can been seen on #PrimeVideo with an #HBOMax subscription but is available to view for FREE on at least one #AltStreaming channel, where I plan to see it before Greenland2 is released.

@mookie

I wait to see the #RunningMan remake when it's available for viewing on an #AltStreaming channel, which shouldn't take long. 🤷

As much as I like Keanu Reeves as an action hero (#Matrix & #JohnWick), I've never liked him in lighter fair.

He stars in #GoodFortune, which was a movie that I was definitely NOT interested in seeing at the theater but I took a look at it on an #AltStreaming channel & my decision to skip it at the theater was confirmed.

I could only watch 20 mins of it before reading the entire plot on #Wiki & skipping ahead to see how it ended.

I viewed it as a lesser grade version of #HeavenCanWait (1943 &/or 1978) & #ItsAWonderfulLife (1946).

I suggest you watch one of those instead, if you want to see movie about an angel saving souls which is what Good Fortune is supposedly about.

Another movie that I missed at the theater & am glad that I didn't pay good $ to see it there was #Him.

Just watched it on an #AltStreaming channel. It's a movie about what price glory in the #NFL & gets really weird. Lots of sex & gratuitous violence & in the end I'm still not sure if the "hero" achieved his goal or was put off of it entirely by the experience.

You didn't miss anything if you missed it. I'd give it a 2 out of 10. 👎

Just watched "most" of #TronAres on an #AltStreaming channel but couldn't finish it because it was so tedious.👎

Glad that I didn't go to see it at the theater.

I've got the original Tron (which seems lame now but was advanced in its time) & #TronLegacy on #DVD.

#TronLegacy was much better than Ares. Will buy Ares on DVD to complete the set but ONLY if I can get it for cheap because I'll probably never watch it again. 🤷‍♂️

@mookie

You won't be missing anything. 🤷

Actually just found the #SmashingMachine & #TronAres on an alt streaming channel.

Gotta remember to check the #AltStreaming channels for movies that I'm just luke warm about watching, which included both of these.🤦‍♂️

So, I'mg oing to watch #TronAres on the alt streaming channel instead watching the time & $ at my local theater.

PS: Just found #GoodFortune on an alt streaming channel too! 😉
