Watching a great show on Paramount+.
MobLand.

Trust me, this is not for kids.

But Pierce Brosnan as Conrad Harrigan, the family mob boss, is turning in a record winning performance, and also Tom Hardy as 'the fixer'. As is Helen Mirren, playing Conrad's devious wife.

Kitty tested, kitty approved.

Meowsigh.
Paid a few bucks to watch "Flight Risk".
Expected a blockbuster with Mark Wahlberg headlining.
I'm a little over a third of the way through, and so far, it's a low budget stinker.
Not at all what I would have expected with Mark involved.

EDIT.........
Man, this is really really bad. Wahlberg has aged beyond belief, just horribly, and hardly looks or sounds like himself.
Even the makeup when she beats him in the face sucks. I can't believe this is so bad.
And neither one of them notices the pilot whittling away at his restraints with his sunglasses frame?
They can come up with as many plot twists as they can, but it ain't gonna save this flight.
Just a tragic waste of cinematic time. And the last Mark Wahlberg flick I shall ever watch.
Kitties say 'crash landing'.

I love the honesty of your reviews, straight to the point, sometimes a bit "salty" in their language, but nothing too salty.

Sorry you had to pay good money to see a film you didn't enjoy. I think we've all done that, so we know just where you are coming from :-(

Thanks Rob. I am just trying to save others from the same agony I am going through.
The kitties are burying this movie and Mark Wahlberg's career deep in the litterbox.
At least if others choose to watch it to see what I am talking about, they have been forewarned.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

And what's even worse?????
In the end credits, I see that this debacle was directed by Mel Gibson.
Now, many facets of my movie enjoyment have been shattered beyond belief.

"Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once."

I don't pretend this will work for everyone (everyone's personal tastes are different of course) but I've avoided plenty of bad movies by sticking to a 7+ rating at IMDB with >1K ratings (unless it's very old and not well-known.) For new movies the >1K is a must because of internet rating pumping; often everyone involved with the movie will ask their friends/family to give it a "10" but as soon as it's on video/streaming with public reviews it sinks like a stone.

This particular title has a 5.2 with 29K ratings so qualifies as a Stinker. :^)

I also give leeway to the horror and comedy genres as reactions to those vary more widely than dramas or action.

---

As I said.............
The kitties give it a litterbox rating of 'bury it deep'.

And if you know kitties, you know what that means.
I'm gonna rewatch "Cowboys and Aliens" now.
That will keep the kitties out of the deep litterbox digging.

Thanks, and keep on meowing.

Meow,
Mark.

Ironically one that breaks the pattern... I also liked it a lot, and it only has a 6. There are few like that... "Deep Impact" is another.

Just to digress................
It's like the last half a dozen movies made with Bruce Willis as headliner.
I've watched them all, and they all stank to high heaven.
Bruce was just not there anymore. You could see it in his eyes and lack of facial expression.
He had simply left the building. Totally absent.
Nothing left to contribute.
And I feel so bad for him, because he gave us all SO much entertainment over his long career.
But life has it's way of taking what it has given.

I am in the latter stages of my life. Had a heart attack, open heart surgery, triple bypass.
I am here for as long as the Lord above allows me to remain.
Could be years, could be days. I simply do not know.
And I am quite OK with that.
Every day, if I wake up, I thank the Lord for giving me a night's sleep and waking me for another day.
I do not live in fear or dread. What would be the point?
I am thankful for every moment that the Lord allows me to to continue.
And when He has decided that I am done here, I shall be quite happy to join Him up above.

Meow,
Mark

The kitties are burying this movie and Mark Wahlberg's career deep in the litterbox.

and the followup:

The kitties give it a litterbox rating of 'bury it deep'.

Do I see the start of a new Kittyman Film Rating system?

I so agree with the bury it deep. And others the Kitties need a TBM to get it deeper.
