Finally getting some time to catch up on some stuff...
First hour of Man of Steel was really good. I'll have to watch the rest on Sunday night.
Not a fan of Superman either, but the darkness really is a nice touch. I feel like I'll be let down a bit with the rest of the movie, because that's what Snyder does...but it's pretty good so far.
-
I haven't seen American History X in forever. So long that I forgot many of the plot points. Watched it from the beginning on HBO last night. I forgot how amazing Ed Norton used to be. Great movie.
-
I watched Prisoners last night. Not bad.

Just 'not bad'? As in, worth waiting for dvd 'not bad'? This one looked like a winner from the previews and reviews.

I really liked it, would recommend for others to watch. It was pretty fucked up and had a plot that kept you curious the entire movie. I think the common viewer might not like the genre or subject matter and say the movie was too long. I had no problem with either.
I thought there were two really solid acting performances out of Huge Jackedman and Jake Gyllenhaal. I hate Jake Gyllenhaal. Paul Dano's character was spot on. freak Terrence Howard.

I watched Prisoners last night and agree with you. Great performances from both leads, Jackman was Oscar form, this was the best I've seen from Jake Gill too.
A couple of unusual strands to the film to help build the tension but all in all a pretty good watch. Recommended.
-
I saw Prisoners 2 weeks ago. Great movie.
Go see it, Fen.

Trust me, it's on the top of my list. Wifey is worried there will be some bits that are too much for her. She got through Zero Dark Thirty just fine. Would she OK with this?
-
Just watched Star Trek: Into Darkness. Now THAT excrement it is some proper sci-fi. Awesome fun.

None of it is possible though, so the entire movie is a plot hole.

If she suffers from ophidiophobia there are a couple of uncomfortable moments but apart from that it's suspense and tension all the way.

Except it's Star Trek which at no point uses reality as a device by which to ratchet up tension, set as it is in an entirely fictitious time and place, and therefore your point is obviously wrong.

A lot of Star Trek takes place on Earth. Both it and Gravity are fictitious...it shouldn't matter if the one you didn't wasn't realistic.

Well, Gravity takes place in an entirely ficticious time and place too. Case in point, the Chinese don't have a space station, and we discontinued the space shuttle.

I watched Let the Right One In the other night. Swedish movie with subtitles. Not as scary as I hoped but still a very good movie with one badass scene.
-
^ That movie is awesome, and it has way more than one badass scene.

The Conjuring lived up to the hype for the most part. We rented it knowing next to nothing (other than it got surprisingly good reviews for a haunting genre movie), which I would highly recommend if you plan on seeing it. The less you know going in the better.

You're Next was really good too.

I watched a documentary called Jiro Dreams of Sushi. It was pretty good.

I'm watching that right now

I thought The Conjuring was a bit boring, it was a horror movie for people who haven't seen a horror movie before. Reasonably well made but painfully cliched.

well I thought the ghost demon witch could have been a little more realistic

I like to consider myself a decent judge of the genre. I would not even consider this a horror movie. It's a thriller. The fact that it's based in the 70's gives it a certain innocence. It was really a throwback to simpler times with less special effects. That would pretty much explain why there were some cliches, which there certainly were.

I saw Judge Dredd last night, not the Stallone abortion, it was good, it reminded me a bit of The Raid.

Figured Id post this in here
But I saw a commercial for the ps4, and it was showing the apps it supports. One of them was called "Epix" and I never heard of it so I googled it, and its the same excrement like Netflix and prime streaming
They have a 14 day free trial (you dont have to enter any billing info, credit cards, or that crap) and they have a crap ton of new movies that arent on netflix/amazon prime available for streaming (xbox, ps3, ps4, laptop all the normal crap)
I dont think its a subscription based program, I think its meant to be a premium channel like HBO (who offers HBO GO streaming for free) and they are just trying to get people to buy their channel.
Eitherway its got some awesome new excrement on it, definitely worth taking advantage of. At least 5~ movies that came out in the last year already on here
Oh yeah heres the website

Epix is a premium channel similar to Cinemax. It's on my TV and I'm pretty sure it has been for a while.

i can tell you what doesnt belong in here. "Only God Forgives"
no God will not forgive that movie.
i couldnt even finish it
pretty disappointing considering im a fan of both Gosling and violent asians

Ain't Them Bodies Saints was really good.

The Intouchables
(Netflix Instant)

That's the French one about the disabled guy, right? My wife watched it with a friend the other night. "Not bad, but you won't like it" was her verdict. I trust her judgement.

They should do an American remake starring Mike Westhoff and Joe McKnight.

Yeah, I think it's one of the best movies I've seen in the past five years or so.
-
I'm undecided about This Is The End. It's one of those movies that I can't decide if it was brilliant or just self indulgent. I'm leaning towards the latter, but I laughed plenty.

This Is The End was ok, but it wasn't a classic or anything. I'd say the B is a pretty spot on rating.

James Franco getting his face eaten off was worth the $1.30 for Redbox.
To be fair, I didn't hate him in the movie, but it was still funny.

I guess while I'm in this thread I'll mention that I caught the last part of Coming Home on one of the Encore channels last week or something. One of the best speeches in movie history that probably won Voight his Oscar that year.

I was a bit so-so on the first one. I'll probably get round to watching the second, but not with any great amount of anticipation.

Yours is worse, by a country mile.
-
Not as bad as someone not seeing Pulp Fiction.
This is true. Battle Royale made me hate the Hunger Games when I first heard about it. Saw BR at a screening more than a decade ago, then spent years with the bootleg before it finally got an American release. My wife read the Hunger Games books and basically said "Yeah, they owe a lot to BR, but they're surprisingly entertaining." So I read them. Wanted to hate them, but every book was an easy, fun read. I thought the first movie was pretty good, strong in parts, weak in others. This one was a big step up, but again I'm not sure what the response will be from people who don't read it.
-
I don't really get why the BR fans hate Hunger Games. Aside from young people having to kill each other, they're not at all similar.
-
weed is tight, weed is tight.
oh dude, your references are out of control, everyone knows that
-
I thought Hunger Games was absolutely retarded.
It's about the 1% versus the rest of humanity, so this doesn't shock me.

Because of the idea of it and Collins' refusal to admit any sort of inspiration.
It's not quite as simple as that. They're about kids who are ripped away and sent to a prepared arena to fight to the death in order to maintain order and prevent rebellion. There are similarities between the two books in particular, at least until HG exhibits broader breadth.
Like I said, I hated it before giving it a chance. Looked like an Americanized BR ripoff, which never is a faithful thing due to differences in narrative style and commentary between vastly different cultures.

-

Ehhhhh. Battle Royale isn't overrated. It's a cult movie. The vast majority of people haven't seen it. I don't know anyone who thinks it's a profound book or cinematic mastery. It's just well made and awesome. The characterization in the book is excellent, too, under that Japanese framework.
As for HG, I don't really care that it's overrated. I enjoyed the books, I've enjoyed the movies, and it's hard to care that some teenage girls think it's the greatest love triangle evarrrr. At least it's not the chick and the vampires in Twilight.
-
I think it gets more praise than it is due because it was one of the first ultra-violent Asian movies to make it into the mainstream Western conscious.
-
Okay, well, I had no idea Battle Royale was a novel first. I remember the Manga, but never really read it. Didn't know the backstory. It's actually a lot similar to Hungar Games.

It's not in the mainstream western consciousness. It wasn't even released here until 2012.

Battle Royale sucks derriere. That freaking idiotic looking main character absolutely blows. Infuriating to watch. I'd say it's worth watching once, but no way is it anywhere close to Pulp Fiction's level.

The fact that critics see something doesn't make it mainstream. The vast majority of those American reviews (and every single one before 2008) are from underground journals and sites that most people haven't heard of. Variety reviewed it in 2008. Every other major paper listed there did so in 2012. Like I said, it didn't actually get a release here until 2012, and that was home video. The idea that, as you said:
I think it gets more praise than it is due because it was one of the first ultra-violent Asian movies to make it into the mainstream Western conscious.
is absurd. It's not mainstream. The only copies here prior to last year were bootlegs. I'm not sure what you consider to be the mainstream, but Battle Royale is outside it by just about any definition.
-
It's not in the western mainstream consciousness. Most people haven't heard of it.

I guess it started off in the Anime circles and occasionally trickled into other groups.

It's not in the western mainstream consciousness. Most people in America haven't heard of it.
FTFY. It has been available elsewhere for a lot longer. I apologise for assuming that you were as culturally switched on as the rest of the world.

Well if you'd posted what you'd meant to then I wouldn't have done, but your post equated "Western consciousness" with "American". You can't expect a subject of Her Majesty to let that go unremarked upon.
-

Yeah - but it's the most famous Japanese live-action film since the 50s. There is no doubt it is overrated because of its relative mainstream success/cultural impact.

1) Not true at all. There have been other more well known Japanese films lately, and the most famous since the 50s is easily Ran.
2) Relative mainstream success is a silly term when we're talking about a nation's films that don't play well here. That's like saying Tulpan is mainstream because it's better known than most Kazakh cinema.
3) There's no doubt that it's overrated? GTFO.
-
As someone with a relatively above-average interest in movies who grew up in the most diverse place in the US during the rise of the internet, here's a timeline of my entire awareness of Battle Royale:
2001/02ish: a friend in my scout troop tells me about a Japanese movie called Battle Royale where a bunch of students are forced to fight to the death
2011: advertising campaign for The Hunger Games begins, I read up on it and think "oh, that sounds like Battle Royale"
2012: I notice Battle Royale is on Netflix and add it to my queue.
It's definitely not in the mainstream here. Some people know about it, but most don't.

1. Maybe it's a generational thing, but Ran is not well known among anyone I talk with.
2/3. Relatively well known and completely and utterly overrated. It's a movie young casual American cinemaphiles really delight in praising and talking about because it's violent and Japanese and easy to 'get' and not animated but it's a pretty freaking trashy movie.

Are you really sure you 'got' it? Because I personally don't always understand Japanese narrative style (Kikujiro is a great example of this), so I generally take it from people who live or have lived there to know whether something I enjoy actually resonates with its intended culture. From what I've heard, especially from people who grew up in Western culture and then lived for a couple of years in Japan, it's pretty spot on in a way we don't 'get'. If you need further evidence, that trashy movie was nominated for Best Picture by the Japanese academy, and 10 awards in total. Are you sure you're not just being needlessly condescending?
I don't know anyone who thinks it's high art. I don't know how they could. Tarantino's endorsement is rather telling, since he frequently occupies the same space.
If Ran isn't well known with anyone you talk with, you have a different definition of cinephile than I do, casual or otherwise.
-
ons is actually Japanese.
For what it's worth, I think it's an entertaining movie, and never really thought of it as anything more than a gory Asian flick.

Yes I am sure I got it - I grew up watching Japanese movies and have lived in Japan. It's generically made to appeal to a broad audience - which it did in Japan. It's not a good or well made film, it's a reasonably fun but attrociously acted summer action movie.
And white kids who go to Japan for a couple years and suddenly have insight into why you have to 'know' Japan to 'get' films like B/R are exactly the reason it's way overhyped in America.

Like I said, it's a cult film here. It doesn't have to be groundbreaking to deserve the fans it has. As I said, it's not high art. It is, however, excellent pulp. Of course, like I also said, the Japanese Academy considered it one of the five best Japanese films of the year. Two acting nominations. I'm not sure what it says about Japanese film that such a terrible movie was honored like that.
This is really beside the point, though, as your post pointed to exactly what the real issue is. As annoying as the "teach in Japan and come back with import games and wall scrolls" segment is, the angry inferiority complex many Japanese and Japanese American men develop toward them is just pathetic. Hating things because they've been co-opted by white boys. Seen it too many times to count. White boys steal our anime. White boys steal our games. White boys steal our women.
I'll let you go ahead and have the last say here. I'm sure it'll be some protestation, but I'm 100% certain that's spot on.
-
Japanese cinema and pop culture is awful in general. BR is one of the better movies to come outa there in the last 10-15 years. It's not great, but relatively speaking it can be considered a classic.
-
Edit:
B/R is a poor man's Twilight except foreign and more bloody. Really all that needs to be said regarding it's quality or popularity.
If you like that kind of movie, that's all well in good, but it should never be considered a must-see, unless you really love mindless violence or teen heartthrobs who can't act.
-
And as to the weird, paranoid pop-psychology - I don't watch anime or play video games. And I've been the 'white guy' at most Japanese bars I've ever been to. But thanks for trying.
-
I'm not gonna touch the whole side-argument about culture and psychology, but I just think it's silly to call a movie overrated by Americans when most Americans haven't heard of it.
Avatar was overrated. Battle Royale has a cult following.
-
I watched Mr Destiny the other day. Saw that about a million times when I was a kid, and always liked it. Pretty silly watching it as an adult, but I got a kick out of it.

I saw Punch-Drunk Love the other day. Liked it.
Was not what I was expecting at all and I even went into it knowing it would be a movie I wasn't expecting.

Friend happened upon a DGA screening two days ago. Fully RSVPd, but someone didn't show up, so he was able to get in. The Wolf of Wall Street. He said it was hugely entertaining, but borderline Oscar material. Not sure if it is going to make his nomination list, but never lagged in 2 hrs and 45 mins.

I read a headline that said they were making a movie of 'Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark', and I thought to myself, "why does that title sound so familiar?"
Then when I googled it and saw the image below, a wave of apparently repressed childhood trauma washed over me. I'm pretty sure that those were the first books I ever checked out of a library.
Haven't read a book since.

That's awesome. Is DDL doing a tennis related movie or something?
Well they both live within a couple miles of me. One of my good friend's dad is friends with the caretaker of Dustin Hoffman's Connecticut house. He got my friend a job working on the landscaping of his house before Hoffman's daughter got married there over the summer. He also worked during the wedding and spoke to Hoffman about the tennis court at his house (and mentioned my name and how I live down the street and give lessons). Hoffman said that he and DDL both play tennis and would like some lessons. I thought it he was just being nice and didn't think too much of it but I guess recently one of his people got my contact info from my friend's dad and he is actually going to ask me for some lessons.
I would do that for free just for the experience....but I'm sure the tips are going to be crazy.
Dustin Hoffman sounds like a lock, hopefully DDL will be in town as well because that would be freaking awesome.

Watched Nebraska last night. First 15 minutes were making me wonder whether I'd be turning it off early, but then it actually turned out to be another quietly funny piece from Payne. Much less serious than The Descendants, which was great by me. I'd love for him to make another movie with the tone of Election, but he's apparently outgrown it.
Going to try to watch Lone Survivor today. I've heard mixed things.

"Hey Slumdog."
Always been a Bateman fan. This has potential.

Watched Inside Llewyn Davis. Quiet character piece from the Coen Brothers set in 1961 Greenwich Village and within the folk scene. It's not really a folk music movie. It's a character study, and an interesting one IMO. I thought it was great, and Oscar Isaac is fantastic. In other words, most of you shitbags would probably hate it.
Oh, and John Goodman's great in a small role.

Finally got round to watching Life Of Pi last night. I loved the book and I was blown away by what a good job Ang Lee did of filming it. Amazing movie.

It's about an Indian kid on a boat, with a tiger or some excrement. Pass.

No, it isn't.

Watched Saving Mr. Banks, which was fantastic. Better than I expected.

Watched American Hustle after the game. Damn entertaining, and the performances were great of course. It's not groundbreaking by any stretch, but it really didn't have to be. Just a really well made piece of entertainment. Also, I love that David O. Russell is cultivating a stable of actors with cameos from almost everyone in SLP and obviously starring Bale and Adams from The Fighter.

Is Chris Tucker in American Hustle?
Nope. It would have been a waste since there's only one black character with a speaking role. Neither is Jackie Weaver. Shea Whigham is, though (the brother in SLP), and has the second worst hair in the movie.

Just watched Fruitvale Station...
Wow

Just finished The Spectacular Now
It was really good and not what I was expecting it to be at all. One of the best coming-of-age movies that I've seen.

Jack the Giant Slayer
Watched it because nothing was on, assuming it would suck. It was actually surprisingly not bad at all. Worth a watch if you like that sort of thing (I'm looking at you Alio).
Just realized the lead (Jack) is the same guy from Warm Bodies. I really liked that flick too.
The cast of Jack would get some of you off (that sentence worked out unintentionally awesome), considering Ian McShane plays the king.

Just saw Wolf of Wall Street. Great time, but too long.

Did the eat dinner and watch a couple movies on Christmas day thing.
Croods was my wife's choice. It was pretty terrific if you like animated movies. A-
Elysium was my choice. If you liked District 9 you would like this as well. B+
Both ended up being religious metaphors to some extent, and while I am not religious, I suppose Christmas was the right day for it.

anyone seen The Wolf of Wall Street? I'm very excited for this, prolly have to wait until Mon/Tuesday to see it though. Scorsese is my favorite director and Leo is my favorite actor.

I'll give mine once I've seen everything, or close to everything. The only one on your list that I can't agree with is Spring Breakers. I thought Kings of Summer was ok, and Mud was fantastic and underrated. McConnaughey had a phenomenal year. He's excellent in Mud and in Dallas Buyers Club, which was on the outside of my list but impressive nonetheless.
Mud would go on my list along with Her, Nebraska, Inside Llewyn Davis, Saving Mr. Banks, American Hustle, and Gravity. Gravity needs the caveat that it will lack lasting impact. Much like Avatar, it's going to suffer outside of the theater.
12 Years A Slave was too painful to be one of my 'favorites', but it and Captain Phillips had two of the best scenes I've seen on screen this year.
-
Was 12 Years a Slave actually good, or is it one of those movies with sensitive subject matter where people feel bad about saying anything negative about it? People do tend to overrate the hell out of movies like this.

No, it's actually a brilliantly made movie. It may win BP and Director, and it would deserve both. It's not some cloying white guilt bait like Amistad.

Okay cool. I want to give it a shot.

Fruitvale Station and 12 Years A Slave were two of the best movies I saw in 2013, but not favorites. Draining movies.
Captain Phillips is on my list. I found a stream, but the subtitles are in Chinese. So I had no idea what the Somalis were saying. I'll wait.

I thought it was pretty disappointing. The first 30 minutes or so were interesting, but then it just turned bland and predictable. Great acting, boring story.
-
Saw The Wolf of Wall Street today. I thought it was great, definitley my kind of movie. Hilarious, vulgar, unnecessarily gratuitous cursing and drug use, interesting story, and great acting. The cast was awesome with more than a few cameos. Besides Leo, my favorite characters were Matthew Mconaughey and Shane from Walking Dead. It was definitley long, and dragged a little at the 3/4 point, but I don't mind long movies at all if they're entertaining all the way through. Not the typical genre for Scorsese but has the feel of one of his movies.
edit: Leo's wife in this movie is a goddess. going to look up the actresses name right now.
-
American Hustle was really good. One of my favorites of 2013.
I watched Lone Survivor during the Fiesta Bowl (had the game on in the background), and I didn't like it much at all. Peter Berg needs to go back to television.

Lone Survivor is very much in the Crap Movies thread. If you watched it already, someone's career is over. Bummer.

That really sucks that it was a crappy movie. It should have been a modern masterpiece. They could have and should have made it like Black Hawk Down, which was great. I guess they probably "hollywooded" it up, starting first and foremost with Wahlberg playing Lutrell. Lol at getting a midget to play him.

Well yeah start with Wahlberg playing Lutrell, a guy that's 6'5". I know it's not really that big a deal but it's just so hilarious to me. It's like getting Seth Green to star as Arnold Schwarzenegger in a biopic about Arnold's time as Mr. Olympia.

Ben Foster (Axelson) and Taylor Kitsch (Murphy) were believable SEALs. Emile Hirsch wasn't bad as Dietz.
Wahlberg was a terrible casting choice.
None of the acting was really that bad, it just dragged on. And the ways that Berg tried to make us feel for them didn't work at all, in my opinion.
That entire scenario pissed me off so much for those guys (the real life Team One), but Berg spent too much time trying to show how bad derriere they were instead of building up the characters.
Everybody freaking knows that they're complete bad asses already.

Thanks for responding.
I was mostly joking about the fact they were supposedly working under the guise of realism, then they have Mark Wahlberg, a 5'8" dude playing a 6'5" Navy Seal.
I know most people don't know jack excrement about Lutrell so that criticism doesn't matter but it's still pretty damn funny if realism is what they were going for. Obviously, they wanted to do a huge Hollywood production and not get every part of the story correct. I mean 2 guys whose opinion's are mostly similar to mine with regard to movies didn't like it. I will wait for HBO.

I liked Hirsch and Foster, they actually seemed to be playing roles. Mark Wahlberg played Mark Wahlberg, as he always does. Here's a little quote on Wahlberg's approach from wikipedia:
"Wahlberg chose to portray Luttrell after reading a copy of Berg's script, and said he would not read the book during production to avoid arguments with Berg over what was left out."
Yeah, that about fits the bill. "Why would I research this part? It's the same dude I played in Shooter!"
I thought some of the action sequences were well choreographed, especially the falling-down-the-mountain bits. Worked fine as a mindless action flick, but as a tribute to the actual soldiers? Please. Just a pile of war movie cliches.

Pretty much exactly how I felt.
That stuff you posted about Wahlberg is disgusting.

He's a freaking retard, he's playing a real dude that was really there. God forbid he do a little research and learned what the freak actually happened. It's a warped world where that talentless douche makes that much money.

The fight scenes were great. The plot development was terrible.
Berg focused too much on the gun fight and condensed the time Luttrell was in hiding by far too much. I thought Luttrell's cameo was a good choice.
Kitsch, Hirsch and Foster were great, Wahlbeg wasn't terrible but he wasn't good.
Also saw Mud, Inside Llewyn Davis, Dallas Buyers Club and American Hustle. All were great.
-

Taylor Kitsch needs to stop trying to become an action star and take some serious roles. He's solid. I guess he's cashing in.
Also saw Mud, Inside Llewyn Davis, Dallas Buyers Club and American Hustle. All were great.
I still need to see Dallas Buyers Club and Inside Llewyn Davis.
McConaughey became one of my favorite actors after Killer Joe. He's made some great choices over the past two years.

I'd see Dallas Buyers Club again over Inside Llewyn Davis if I could only pick one.
My five year old cousin walked into the room during one of Jared Leto's scenes and it must have scared the excrement out of her because she kept asking about the "ugly lady" in the movie.

Mud was the kind of movie that got made a lot more often in the 90s. I appreciated that. Used to go see a lot more movies back then, and there was always something like that playing at the indie theaters. This year finally had some solid smaller releases again. It's a good sign for the industry, especially once the higher ups finally realize the potential of a multi-format simultaneous distribution model.
-

Don't get me wrong, I loved Inside Llewyn Davis.
For whatever reason I'm just not that interested in seeing Her. At least not in the theaters.
-

I've only seen a few movies in theaters in the past two months. Catching Fire, Frozen, The Hobbit, and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Everything else has been screeners. I do wish I had seen American Hustle in theaters.
And I didn't think I'd like Her as much as I did. Not even close. Which probably means it'll be disappointing for someone on here who now builds it up.

12 Years A Slave was too painful to be one of my 'favorites', but it and Captain Phillips had two of the best scenes I've seen on screen this year.
Just watched 12 Years a Slave and I saw Captain Phillips a while ago. What were the two scenes? (The excruciatingly long shot of him in the noose trying to stand on his toes in the mud was really powerful, IMO.)
In regard to 12... I love Chiwetel Ejiofor in everything he's in, but I thought the supporting roles blew him off the screen. Lupita Nyong'o was amazing and Sarah Paulson was a great, great villain. Fassbender stole the show, though. I guess he and Steve McQueen just have their excrement down pat. Pure, mesmerizing evil.
Brad Pitt was a total distraction. It seemed less likely that he took the role because of the quality of the small part and moreso that he just wanted to be on film saying, "Hi, I'm Brad Pitt, and slavery is bad." Also, Omar. Poor Michael K. Williams. He will never again appear on film without me saying, "Oh excrement, it's Omar!"
Speaking of small parts, Paul Giamatti continues to be one of my favorites. I think between 12 Years and Saving Mr. Banks, he had a total of five minutes of screen time, but he just kills it every single time.
-

Yes. That's the scene from 12 Years. So freaking well done. The final scene from Captain Phillips is the other I'm talking about. That's the Tom Hanks Oscar Scene. He'll definitely get a nod.

Fassbender stole the show, though. I guess he and Steve McQueen just have their excrement down pat. Pure, mesmerizing evil.
Agree totally again. I think Ejiofor is getting a nod just because he was the lead in the film, but he wasn't nearly as good as Oscar Isaac, Bruce Dern, Christian Bale, Joaquin Phoenix, or the Double McConnaughey (Mud and DBC). I think he and Hanks will steal nods from two of those, but that's my BA slate. Regardless, bloody hell was Fassbender phenomenal. Nyong'o would be a good SA win, but I just loved June Squibb too much in Nebraska, and comedic roles tend to get rewarded in that category. I don't think anyone approaches Fassbender in the supporting arena. Leto is a distant second. Haven't seen Rush, but I didn't think the guy from Captain Phillips was anything special, and Bradley Cooper was good but not in the same league.
Brad Pitt was a total distraction. It seemed less likely that he took the role because of the quality of the small part and moreso that he just wanted to be on film saying, "Hi, I'm Brad Pitt, and slavery is bad." Also, Omar.

Giamatti is great. I loved him in Saving Mr. Banks. I'm really hoping Emma Thompson gets a win for that one, but it'll probably be Bullock or Blanchett (who is really deserving as well). The actress nominees are so much weaker than the actor ones this year.

Short Term 12
Mud
American Hustle

The Spectacular Now
The Place Beyond the Pines

Watched ST12 again and it moves to the top. There are two scenes (a rap and a haircut) involving one of the older kids at the home that were so oddly emotional and not manipulative at all. I don't get moved by film too often. Those two scenes did it, and a few others too.
Still need to see Her and Nebraska.

Good boring weekend with movies.
The Millers... I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
Man of Steel... Loved it. The guy that plays Zod sounds like a mix of Bill Hader and Buffalo Bill, but it was a really good movie.
Despicable Me 2... Not as good as 1 but easy and enjoyable.
Pacific Rim... Was supposed to get In to Darkness but the Redbox died. Definitely got my geek on with this one. Some of the acting is down right terrible, but 100 feet tall mechs... Me likie.

Early on, I definitely thought Galen would be more important than he was.
I'm thinking Michael Shannon was Nichols' first choice for Mud, but then McConaughey came out of nowhere.
-
Pacific Rim... Was supposed to get In to Darkness but the Redbox died. Definitely got my geek on with this one. Some of the acting is down right terrible, but 100 feet tall mechs... Me likie.
Yeah, I'm still kind of amazed by how much I enjoyed that movie. The dialogue and acting and story were just so silly, and I'm rarely impressed by non-stop CGI, but I just can't resist Del Toro's eye candy. His passion for weird monster designs pulls me into so many flicks that I otherwise would never bother seeing.

Yeah, that occurred to me; consolation prize. Or maybe once he realized that the kid who played Ellis could deliver as well as he did, some of the supporting roles were pruned back a bit.

Into Darkness was terrific. It is amazing how one director's vision can take one of the campiest franchises ever and make it so damn good.
After 2 movies, I could not imagine anyone other than Quinto playing Spock. In completely unshocking news, Cumberbatch was great as well.
Does anyone know if they are planning a TV series or sticking with movies? The ending certainly made it feel like the former was a possibility...

With JJ leaving the franchise to fix Star Wars, the timing for this franchise to move to TV seems logical. None of the actors are 'too big' for TV, particularly if it was on HBO. Let them do some smaller stories for a while until enough time has passed for the obvious sequel to Darkness.

How is the Wolf of Wall Street compared to Boiler Room? They're both about Stratton Oakmont one is more biopic than the other.

Boiler Room was only loosely based on Stratton, and it's dogshit compared to WOWW.

So no American Hustle in HK. Apparently the subject matter is too risque for China. Fuckn' A.
The movie theater nearby does have IMAX 3D, and they're still showing Gravity. I may watch it again.

12 Years a Slave

From everything I've read and heard, it will be an utter travesty if 12 Years A Slave doesn't take this and a lot of the other categories.

I hope 12 Years a Slave doesn't win just to see the outrage.

As long as Gravity doesn't win I don't especially mind.

We just saw Wolf of Wall Street. Besides a few moments, not that good of a movie. Dare I say, I was bored most of the last hour and could give a excrement about almost any of the characters.

Was the McConaughey scene one of the few moments you liked?

I guess. Jonah Hill's character I liked, but it got to a point where I didn't give a freak what happened. The fact is, his daughter was trhe only only one I cared about toward the end.
I'm not a huge fan of Wall St. type excrement in the first place, so maybe a little biased, but it's tough to really like a movie when there's no one to root for, no plot to care about. And, I love Martin Scorcese. Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, The Departed, are some of my favorite movies.
-
Well it's hard to root for any of the characters, especially since they're all total pieces of excrement. I wish I had become a buyside trader. That's where the real money is.
-
Some of my favorite characters are people who are almost impossible to root for, just...something about this movie I didn't really care for. Lackluster movie from Scorcese. Its just my opinion, I didn't put it in the shitty movie thread specifically because I didn't think it was shitty, just not that great, at all.
-
Oh, I agree. It's forgettable, and not a classic by any means. I'll probably watch it again, but it's no Casino.

Finally going to get around to seeing The Hobbit tonight.

I know this is usually reserved for serious films but 3 funny movies that happen to feature 1 same actor
A Good Old Fashioned American Orgy
Offbeat sex comedy about a group of high school friends now in their early 30s. I can't describe it any further. Great cast though.
Tucker and Dale VS Evil
A horror spoof about two friends from the backwoods who go to fix up an old cabin while they run into the trope of all horror films a group of college students.
Due to bad timing and circumstances both groups think they're out go kill one another and its freaking hilarious.
Cottage Country
One of the darker comedies I've seen since Worlds Greatest Dad with Robin Williams
A middle management schlub wants to surprise his pizza with a marriage proposal at his family cottage on a lake.
His underachiever brother and his Russian sex fiend pizza crash the weekend.
He gets in a fight with his brother and accidentally kills him. Everything escalates and the bodies pile up as they try to cover their tracks lol
It sounds sadistic buy its mos definitely a comedy
-
American Hustle tonight. Okay, this was more like it. Riveting stuff.
watched that last night too. IDK how you liked any of the characters from that movie. IMO Cooper, Adams, and Lawrence all were hateable and I really only liked Bales character.
good movie though. gotta love the long con.

Saw American Hustle last night as well. It was good, but not great. Well acted, witty dialogue as to be expected from DOR, but I just wasn't able to emotionally invest myself in this one at all, and that's usually something pretty easy for me.

I loved Jeremy renner's character. You had to feel bad for him. Bale's character was a nice guy. Beneath all that con was a guy who cared. I actually thought Lawrence's character was a hoot, although I wouldn't call it Awards worthy. And, Adams character...I knew all along what she was doing, so it didnt bother me. I said it to the wife, she was too smart a girl to let Cooper's character get to her. His interactions with Louis CK were awesome, you have to admit.
I like Bale's character a lot. The last scene with Renner was kinda gut wrenching because he was an admirable guy and did, what he thought, was the best thing.
-
It was extremely entertaining, but I don't know about best picture stuff. I haven't seen anything up for awards but I gotta think there is better. I really want to see Her.

I thought it was well acted, and had a great cast. I especially liked Deniro, Louis CK, and thought it was cool they had Harrow and Eli from Boardwalk Empire for the Atlantic City connection.
My comment was directed more towards what you said about the characters in Wolf of Wall Street being unlikeable. I felt the same way about this movie, just about everyone involved was a dirtbag.
-

12 Years A Slave will and should win Best Picture. American Hustle upsetting it would be pretty significant. I thought Her was the other best picture of the year.

Watched Captain Phillips and World War Z the other night.
Captain Phillips was pretty good. It was well acted and the cast was solid. Hanks going full retard for an oscar nod towards the end took away alot of the impact, but it's certainly worth seeing. A true story account it is not.
World War Z... I suppose it was a good movie, and Pitt was fine as usual, but other than a few great scenes I was sort of bored. I'm pretty sure there was a metaphor regarding the zombies and terrorism, but I didn't really care enough to think it through.
-

FWIW, I haven't seen the movie but I don't think that metaphor was in the book at all... maybe you could reach and say the adaptation of warfare to a new enemy was a parallel, but probably not.

Full retard? I didn't get that impression. The last ten minutes of that movie was the only part I thought was very good. The rest drove me crazy with how deliberate and redundant it was. The United 93 style just didn't work as well here.

Hanks overacted the excrement out of the scene after he's rescued. Just my opinion of course. In regards to redundant, I actually dozed off for a minute or three when the SEALS were waiting for their shot. It's a waste to attempt to build tension there when just about everybody knows how it ends.

Seemed surprisingly believable to me, but I have incredibly limited experience watching people in shock, so I may have just seen overly emotional people go through that. The redundancy for me was in the editing process. How many times do we need to see the lifeboat pilot shot from below as he's tensely holding the wheel and glancing over his shoulder? I was baffled by the nomination for editing.

OK, 2 more movies this weekend. Both were good, 1 was really good.
2 Guns. If they stuck to the humor more this one could have had legs. Formulaic almost to the point of a poor mans Lethal Weapon throwback.
Fruitvale Station. This is a must watch in my opinion. If you aren't pissed off at the end, I don't know what to tell you. You know the story, but seeing it played out is, I don't know, important? 2 years FFS?!?

I'm starting to find it funny that Paul Dano gets the living excrement beat out of him in every movie he's in.
There Will Be Blood, 12 Years a Slave, Cowboys vs. Aliens, Prisoners, Looper... if Dano's in it, expect a beatdown.

Reminded by the other thread - Taken 2, while not a good movie per se, is surprisingly nothing like as bad as I expected it to be. Plot holes aplenty, but lots of derriere-kicking fun.

That's the most ridiculous thing ever. I wouldn't want to watch a discussion show about a show that actually required discussion, let alone The Walking Dead.
What's gonna happen next week?! Will there be more frowning?! Long pauses?! The suspense is too brutal, bring in the guy from Singled Out to help me cope!

Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fg5iWmQjwk) for Wes Anderson's new movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Looks great, can't wait.

I just realized I've never watched a full Wes Anderson movie (only part of The Royal Tenenbaums).

Really?!
I figured you would love Wes Anderson movies. But if you didn't like Tenenbaums, you probably wouldn't like most of his movies.
I am shocked, Badger, shocked. This is like that time a buddy of mine told me he hates pasta.
-
I didn't dislike it, I just wasn't paying very close attention and then I did something else instead.
I wanted to see The Fantastic Mr. Fox but never did. Moonrise Kingdom and The Darjeeling Limited give me weird Garden State vibes.
-
History of Violence was a great movie, didnt care much for the last 20 minutes but the rest of the movie is phenomenal.
The Royal Tennenbaums, aside from being a great movie, has the perfect music in it.

The Darjeeling Limited is his weakest effort, but he returned to form with Moonrise Kingdom. Watch Tenenbaums and Rushmore, at least. Bill Murray has never been better than he was in Rushmore.

she's got no derriere to speak of
Lol I see you guys calling him 624 but I second this.
She looked good in the 90s.
But yeah that's stereotypical flat white derriere.
The beauty of being in my age group is white girls started.growing asses in HS.
I made this comment years.n years ago and my black.and Latin friends still treat me like IM a psychic cause IM not the only one who feels this way.
Maria was too old to be part of the white derriere evolution

Lol I like his movies but do feel he's a little overrated.
IM A.D. fan for sure, but he does come off as someone who tried to be too offbeat just for the sake of his fans being able to say "you just don't get it"
But yeah the royal, Darjeeling, and life aquatic I've all seen and liked.
Wanted to see moonrise kingdom but I kinda feel like I know exactly how that movie goes it being an Anderson flick

Rushmore is fantastic.
Rushmore, Darjeeling, The Royals, Life Aquatic
I like en all a lot.
I can understand his critics who feel he goes abstract just for the sake of it at times. But I like his movies. Least the few I named and seen

Feel free to call me a bundle of sticks, but I was coerced into watching Stuck in Love yesterday and it was surprisingly good.
Solid date movie

The Life Aquatic was good, but Bill Murray (with an assist from Willem Dafoe) made it great. Only Murray could have played that role. Seu Jorge playing the entire Space Oddity album was a plus.

Agree. Fairly slim pickings. I'd probably drop it if it weren't for House of Cards. My wife likes that Orange is the New Black show. Hell I might just drop it between House of Cards seasons and renew it again later. It's not like there's a joining fee.

I know everyone's going to focus on the fact that it's Angelina Jolie directing, but the Coen brothers wrote the screenplay and it's an amazing true story that has had its subject heavily involved with the making of the movie. I hope it lives up to its promise.

If you're looking for a new TV show to try, download Top Boy. I don't know if it's on Netflix but it's on torrents; it has been called a British version of The Wire, I don't necessarily agree with that but I can see the similarities. You might need subtitles to follow the London street slang though just like I did for The Wire.

No matter, he should have been nominated. I read through this thread after I finished the movie, and ijr mentioned 2 great scenes, I'm willing to bet one of them was Hanks with the medic at the end. Incredible acting, moving actually.

That's just two scenes. I still haven't seen Nebraska, so I can't say much about Bruce Dern getting nominated...but the rest of the nominees were better than Hanks, in my opinion.
DiCaprio or McConaughey should win

I'm not arguing Hanks to win, but just for the nomination. Wolf is an overrated movie to me and I'd put Hanks right there with Bale. And, I'm not a huge Tom Hanks fan at all. It was his best performance I think I've ever seen. Granted, you guys know your movies and until I see McConaughy's performance, Id put Hanks over DiCaprio or Bale. I don't want to harp on one scene, but the scene with the medic was some of the best acting I've ever seen.

Eh, you guys are more up on your movies than me, I just don't think highly of "Wolf..." and, while DiCaprio didn't bother me, I'd pick Hanks over him. Bale, on the other hand...I really want to see Her and Nebraska. Phoenix must be one of the looked over guys you're referring to.
The scene with the medic: was that one of those 2 scenes you referred to earlier in the thread?

Phoenix was one of the guys. The other was Oscar Isaac. And the medic scene was absolutely the big one for me.

I could do a list that has just Scorcese movies on it. Hell, I even loved "The King of Comedy" although I wouldn't put it on any top 10 list. Dark freaking flick.

I specifically mention KoC because I've heard some people say they don't like it.
I don't remember exactly how I came to see it, I just remember being pretty awed by it and getting the DVD the next day. I went on a Scorcese streak in my early 20s and was pretty much blown away by almost all of them. I love "Mean Streets" because its so raw, and I seem to have a thing for ridiculous endings, but "Taxi Driver" and "Raging Bull" are both Top 10 material.
-
Just to add...DeNiro is obviously amazing in RB, but Joe Pesci was just as good. That's a pretty powerful flick.
-
Since you bring up DeNiro, I can't remember the last time I was blown away by his performance. I'm really drawing a blank outside of the obvious ones.

::hides::
I'm just saying, Tokyo Story is the second most mentioned movie on that link, which is just bizarre to me. I've watched a ton of Ozu, and I think his movies aged better than Kurosawa's cause of the lack of dated effects, but Kurosawa's impact seems a lot more significant.
And Tokyo Story isn't even Ozu's best movie. And there are so many movies in the western cinema canon that are so much better anyway. Just strange.

I think filmmakers may have reached in these lists to prove how much smarter they are than everyone else. It's cool to be different and to like a movie that isn't mainstream. They're hipsters after all.

I don't think Woody Allen is worried too much about his coolness. Almost all of the movies on this list are fairly mainstream- they're just from a bygone era. The fact of the matter is that a lot of these filmmakers know A LOT more about film than you or I do, and they know that most of the truly impressive innovation in filmmaking and visual storytelling came about because of cool hipsters like Truffaut, or Goddard, or Fellini, or Bergman, etc.
I do think there is some impulse to genuflect towards certain filmmakers as a sign of respect to their "teachers", (I believe there's at least one Scorsese film on everyone's list) but for the most part, these are all accomplished filmmakers who can pretty much say whatever the freak they want. With that said, I do really appreciate seeing movies on these lists that are surprises, like David O. Russell and Groundhog's Day, or Edgar Wright and An American Werewolf in London. I'd much rather listen to somebody tell me why The Bad News Bears is a great film than The Godfather.

excrement. Someone had the Goonies on their list.
-

You're thinking of critics, which was another list altogether. Filmmakers run the gamut of taste and influence. The ones they've chosen are the concept to screen filmmakers. They're informed in the world of film because it's their job. They aren't trying to 'prove' anything. They're listing their own influences and what has impressed them. I don't see a single one of those filmmakers that I know who seems to be disingenuous in his list.
-
The American choices from the 90s and 2000s that appeared:
Fargo, Zodiac, Goodfellas, Pulp Fiction, Groundhog Day, Dazed and Confused.
The rest were all foreign, which we know don't play as well here. Those were also predominantly chosen by foreign filmmakers. Then there were Miranda July's choices. She's an artist. She makes arthouse avant garde films. Not sure why she should be expected to choose mainstream options. I guess "artist" simply means "hipster".

I realize that all of what you're saying comes from a very fair and likely accurate point of view, and when I see the full list that they came up with from this survey (http://www.bfi.org.uk/news/50-greatest-films-all-time), I realize that there is a lot going on in terms of influences and teachers that is well over my head. But I just cannot grasp how Tokyo Story could ever be considered the third greatest film of all time, and how many people in film consider it to be so significant.
I really think that there is a fetishization of foreign cinema in general; it's easier to criticize movies made by people closer to you stylistically and linguistically. Which invites Hollywood/American moviemakers to overemphasize the significance of foreign films.
I love Ozu, I've watched a lot of old Japanese movies and he definitely has a unique storytelling style and beautiful, thoughtful composition in his shots. But I just can't wrap my head around the fact that in a poll of over 800 filmmakers and critics they could only come up with two movies that were considered to be better thank Tokyo Story, and that he has two in the top 15.
-
I agree with all of you. Wioooo more shots

Watched Haywire on the treadmill this morning. Gina Carano is my new favourite action star - the perfect blend of athleticism, badassery and hotness. As an ex-MMA fighter she's extremely good at the action sequences, and although not exactly required to pull off an Olivier-esque performance she acts very well within the limited requirements of the script. The movie brought up positive comparisons in my mind with the original Bourne films, and if they ever decide to reboot the Lara Croft franchise then she would be absolutely perfect in the role.

Too lazy to research atm, but isn't it crazy rare for a film to sweep best male actor/supporting oscars?
Only watched because my wife wanted to. Ellen was great, so I enjoyed it for the most part.

It's rare for a film to win multiple acting awards just because the strongest of the performances tends to be rewarded. That said, I know Mystic River won Actor and Supporting. There may be others.
EDIT: Looks like it has happened 6 times for that particular combination. I'm curious about the other acting combos. Only other ones I can think of off the top of my head are Silence of the Lambs and The Fighter.

Add Swank and Freeman to the list for Million Dollar Baby, As Good As It Gets for Nicholson and Hunt, and Paltrow/Dench for Shakespeare in Love. So far 6 Actor/Supporting Actor, 2 Actor/Actress, and 1 each of Actor/Supporting Actress, Actress/Supporting Actress and Actress/Supporting Actor. I really don't know why I care to know this.

Redboxed Dallas Buyers Club, been waiting to see both this and 12 Years a Slave.
Lol SNL did a skit pre Oscars where"Ellen" was doing a monologue on get show and says "MY favorite movie was 12 Years A Slave. It's a movie about how I've been dragged on stage and forced to dance every day for the last 12 years........IM just kidding it's about slavery"

So...Silence of the Lambs was the first time in the history of the Oscars that there were multiple acting awards in the same movie? It's interesting that 1991 was the first occurrence. Never happened in all those years until then and now its happened 6 (or 9?) times in basically 20 years. Weird.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the red zone.

To be fair and not insult you, even my wife liked it. She only had to hear about it for 5 years. It's dumb comedy, but it's dumb comedy done to perfection.

I didn't like Police Squad. I don't like slapstick, puns and one-liners. I've never seen anything with Leslie Nielsen that has even made me smile, much less laugh. I'll pass.

Because little surprises are awesome in life. Give it a shot. You don't have to sit through all 90mins of it. If you don't like it after 20mins then you can stop. Who doesn't have 20mins? Worst case you don't find it funny and you move on. Best case you're laughing for 90mins.

bought the Oldboy remake on blu ray. mostly just cause im a huge fan of the Korean original and a big Josh Brolin fan.
as expected in american adaptations, for better or worse, the plot is streamlined, slightly dumbed down and some of the nuances of the foreign original that can be deemed as filler are removed.
the funniest part is this usually bothers me, but I must say Spike Lee actually nailed the darkness and agony of the first one, while making the action more stylized for american audiences.
if your a film snob you will have more negative things to say about it in comparison to the original. I myself took the film at face value as a good job by Lee in recreating the overall film and maintaining the core of the story and intrigue of the plot. not to mention it might be Brolins best performance ever in a movie.
especially if you watch the behind the scenes and interviews. Even Brolin himself says its the farthest hes ever pushed himself as an actor.
-
Oldboy remake was complete excrement.
/film snobbin'

wrong thread
-
Oldboy remake was complete excrement.
/film snobbin'
thats fine, im not going to argue it because its a point of view i can understand.
complete excrement? thats a stretch
watered down? definitely.
the extra 20 or 30 minutes in the original isnt necessary at all to the narrative, but definitely makes you feel the main characters descent into madness much more.
so its completely understandable why one would hate the remake.
like i said, i enjoyed it. and debate the adaptation all you want, i thought Brolin was great.
one of my minute gripes was the removal of the chaotic jesus painting from the original that says "Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone" and replaced with the black bell boy "how can we improve your stay?" poster
i thought that was perfect symbolism in the original that was reduced to an eery hallucination in the remake.

rofl saw this as an ad in the Decker NYT story Badger posted thought itd be a funny read here.
http://www.hollyfame.com/biggest-career-mistakes-movie-stars-15-actors-turned-huge-roles/9/
for those too busy to read, ill break down the noteworthy ones
the ones that stood out the most to me
Travolta-Forrest Gump (lol even Bill Murray and Chevy Chase were ahead of Hanks for this role)
Mathew Broderick (Walter White, Breaking Bad. wow.....just. wow)
Paul Shaffer (Costanza on Seinfeld rofl)
Pam Anderson (Agent Scully in X Files. wow FOX dodged a fuckin bullet on that one)
Tom Selleck (Indiana Jones)
Will Smith (Neo, The Matrix. lol the only time Reaves deserved to beat out Smith for a role. The Matrix wouldve seemed cheesy as freak with Smith in it)
a couple that intrigued me
Michelle Pfiefer (Clarice Starling, Silence of The Lambs)
Paul Giamatti (Michael Scott, The Office)
-
Will Smith (Neo, The Matrix. lol the only time Reaves deserved to beat out Smith for a role. The Matrix wouldve seemed cheesy as freak with Smith in it)
Not only that but you just know Jaden would have eventually been given a role at some point in the trilogy.

seeing Giamatti's name reminded me
who has seen Duets?
maybe im in the minority but i remember loving this movie when i was younger. such an offbeat and niche flick

So, I watched the overhyped Disney movie Frozen at my wife's request. It was not nearly as overhyped as I had expected. Now we both watch tons of animated 'kids' movies, so I am somewhat biased, but this will go down as one of the better classical Disney films of all time.
The songs were very good and not overdone, the voice acting was very good, there was just the right amount of comic relief, the visuals are stunning at times, and the story was quite solid from start to finish.
I give it a solid A. One of the better movies I've seen in awhile regardless of genre.

I saw it. *Spoilers*
Some of it was really inspired, but some parts were unintentionally funny, like Ewen Bremner's frozen arm shattering because of cartoon logic.
The door opening on the car full of masked axemen? Awesome. And then they produce a fish...? What the freak?
I thought the movie hit just the right tone when they got to Alison Pill and the kindergarten car, that part was perfect. Or the pause during the axe brawl to countdown the new year, or the kid running through the cars with the torch, those scenes were weird and brilliant. But it got a little too predictable and self-serious toward the end and the big reveal was a letdown for such a creative build-up. (I didn't watch a version with subtitles, so I have no idea what Nam said, other than the drug was also an explosive).
Definitely an enjoyable piece of freaking crazy science fiction though.

Ed Harris being Wilford was a nice surprise. I didn't expect Alison Pill to be in this either.
I didn't mind the frozen arm scene. For most of the film, I figured that's how the limbless lost their arms and legs...but the cannibalism stuff came up. That part was a little lame. "...the babies taste the best!"
And completely agreed about the axemen and the fish. WTF?
Grey was a bad derriere.

Ha, I actually played Risk last Saturday with coworkers at some team building event. Instead of wiping out one dude who only had a few troops left, a few players let him survive because of their stupid alliance. Then he ended up getting like 70 pieces on the next turn and went on to beat them all anyway. I just built a stronghold in Australia waiting for it all to settle, but eventually got bored and quit.

I think you mean "I like mysteries," not "historical dramas are lazy." A sizable portion of the greatest movies ever made are historical dramas, including just about every war movie. Saving Private Ryan isn't lazy. Full Metal Jacket isn't lazy. Seven Samurai, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly...

I thought the first one was crap. The previews for 2 just looked like more crap. Hopefully this one tanks and they can re-boot the franchise in three years.

Sorry, bro. They're committed to two more in the current model. Doesn't mean it'll be Andrew Garfield, though. He's talked about wanting to be killed off and replaced by a new Spider-Man a la DKR.

Just wants to put a kibosh on that whole career, eh?
Wholly un-enjoyable movie. As IJR said, all over and Giamatti was ridiculous. I didn't enjoy when they needlessly removed a character, and felt it added nothing to the story. Foxx was ok in a horrible character and the Green Goblin just looks like a demented leprechaun.

Are you talking about the character who died in the comics?

The guy who plays Spiderman seems like a smug queynte, he doesn't seem even remotely likeable in real life or in the movies.

Random movies that I watched on Netflix recently that I really enjoyed (a lot of horror flicks/horror comedy for some reason)
- Cabin in the Woods (sounded stupid, but reviews sold me on it. it's a brilliant movie.)
- V/H/S and V/H/S 2 .....the latter being much better than the former, but i've always loved the horror anthology concept since I watched Creepshow 1 and 2 as a kid.
- Let the Right One in (Swedish Version, not shitty American remake)
- Ichi The Killer
- The Host (Korean version)
- 100 bloody acres (Dewey Crowe FTW)
-
- Cabin in the Woods (sounded stupid, but reviews sold me on it. it's a brilliant movie.)
What took you so long?
- Let the Right One in (Swedish Version, not shitty American remake)
I enjoyed the Swedish version more, but I thought the remake was solid as well.
-
What took you so long?
I haven't watched many movies the past few years, mostly just TV shows.
But Cabin in the woods specifically is an almost impossible movie to market. When i saw the trailer when it was in theaters it obviously looks like a generic slasher/horror film
I noticed it was in the Netflix "critically acclaimed" category and it piqued my interest
-
oh, and the Act of Killing is an excellent documentary.
It's disturbing but equally as fascinating. One of the death squad leaders, albeit delusional and openly admits to trying to somehow rationalize his behavior, makes a great point about how the "winners" are the ones who always make the rules regarding war crimes and operate with impunity. Cited the hypocrisy of the US towards Native americans and Bush in Iraq.

Tucker and Dale VS Evil
A horror spoof about two friends from the backwoods who go to fix up an old cabin while they run into the trope of all horror films a group of college students.
Due to bad timing and circumstances both groups think they're out go kill one another and its freaking hilarious.

I mean...unbelievable movie. I don't even need the "best" speech in the movie to prove how great this movie is. Blown away.
So unbelievable that this movie is almost 40 years old. It's all happening. The Ned Beatty speech is frighteningly right, and the last Beale link I put up is insane. Satire or not satire?
-
^You didn't just watch the last hour did you? Great movie. Rocky beating Network (and Taxi Driver) is one of the greatest travesties in Oscar history.

22 Jump St was hilarious.

Finally got round to watching Captain Phillips, then went back to see what you all thought of it. You're some harsh critics. I thought it was an absolute masterpiece.
I had absolutely no idea what happened in the original story, so it was all new to me. It built tension perfectly, and I thought Tom Hanks' meltdown at the end was utterly believable. The takedown was simultaneously a moment of triumph and of horror. I love pretty much everything Greengrass has done but this was his tour de force.

I thought it was a great movie, but masterpiece? I wouldn't go that far.

Yeah, the Bourne movies were all fun. All movies had great pace. I didn't like United 93 because I felt it was made way too soon, and it was still a bit of historical fiction. And for some reason they decided to make one of the victims into a giant hoo-ha who almost stopped the passengers from attacking the terrorists. Don't think that guy's family liked that very much.

Went to go see How to Train Your Dragon 2 this morning in Imax 3d.
Only my second true Imax experience. Absolutely stellar movie, the sound and visuals were awesome.
The movie itself reminded me of Shrek 2 for one simple reason, it took the original movie which was great on its own, changed around the dynamics of how you would expect it should work, and then managed to improve the overall experience.
Great movie, and while it is kid-centric, still plenty of great things for adults as well.
-
Glad to hear that, looking forward to it.
In a similar genre we finally got around to seeing The Lego Movie. If you liked Wreck It Ralph you would like this.

It's not one of my favorites because I find parts of it implausable, but there are so many great scenes in this movie: Slater/Oldman, Walken/Hopper, Arquette/Gandolfini, Slater/Pinchot in the elevator....one of the most entertaining movies there are.

Yep totally agree. "I always liked you Clarence*snaps fingers and does the point*Always will."
I always loved Walken's line after he kills Hopper. "I haven't killed anyone since*fires one last headshot*1984." The acting, the little nuances in that scene, are amazing.

Lol his description of the pantomime was awesome.
Sicilians are great liars. The best in the world. I'm Sicilian. My father was the world heavy-weight champion of Sicilian liars. From growing up with him I learned the pantomime. There are seventeen different things a guy can do when he lies to give himself away. A guys got seventeen pantomimes. A woman's got twenty, but a guy's got seventeen... but, if you know them, like you know your own face, they beat lie detectors all to hell. Now, what we got here is a little game of show and tell. You don't wanna show me nothin', but you're tellin me everything. I know you know where they are, so tell me before I do some damage you won't walk away from.

When Hopper knows he's a dead man he has one of the best last monologues in history.

Finally watched The Road on Netflix.
I know it was critically acclaimed but wasn't really feeling it. I like post apocalyptic movies but this was just entirely depressing and hopeless. The ending felt
Forced and disjointed with the overall tone of the movie. Pretty much knew what to expect from the start. There was some decent moments in between but I thought it'd be better than it was .
Not sure how it compared to the book, but I know some of you have read it.

seemed like the reviews were pretty decent on RT/IMDB for the movie, but that's good to know.
anyways, in most end of the world situations there's at least some semblance of the ability to survive. This is literally just everyone waiting to die with everything destroyed.In other post apocalyptic fiction, there's fucked up extortion/economy and the world is total excrement, but there is at least enough to scavenge and get by on. some hope of being able to maintain and rebuild humanity, however small and how different it'd have to be. It's filled with dread but not to the point where you already know everyone is fucked from the beginning.
the bleakness was just excessive and relentless. there were some decent moments like finding the coca cola etc, but overall it mainly was filled with 1 specific tone. Like ok, they're fucked...we get it
-
I thought it was true to the book, actually nearly word for word. When I heard the movie was coming out (I think on TGG actually) I went ahead and read the book right away. Took my brother to see it. We liked it but sorta sucks the life outa you.

You didn't get what McCarthy is trying to do with all of that. He wrote this in his early 70s after having a really, really late in life child with his third wife. The book is for his son. The dude fears his own death, and put this together because he thought he wouldn't be around for the majority of his son's childhood.
Read the book. It's short and really easy to read. There are great dream sequences in the book that the film adaptation replaced with dumb clips of Charlize Theron.

I understand why it was done - they needed a female and it was supposed to make people feel for Viggo when she gave up and basically committed suicide.
I just thought the dream sequences in the caves and the pregnant prisoner were two omissions that needed to be there. At least is was Charlize Theron.

Man I don't even remember those scenes. I guess I watched the movie too soon after reading the book.

I had the day off, nothing to do and a free movie pass, so I went to see The Purge: Anarchy.
I didn't care for the first one very much. This one was better. It had plenty of terribleness, but Frank Grillo was awesome. There's a scene near the very end of the movie that he absolutely kills.
It's a solid Redbox rental when it comes out. Mindless entertainment.

I think the trailer is very misleading on purpose. A while back, I heard that he wanted Quentin Tarantino to play the lead in this and the character was supposed to be a French Canadian detective. Tarantino couldn't do it, and Johnny Depp is rumored to have that part. That would be great.
Looking at the synopsis, Haley Joel Osment sounds like the lead.

I just watched Django Unchained, it was good, but nowhere near as good as Inglorious Bastards. I went in with an open mind so I don't think it was the subject matter. I think Christoph Waltz was better or I did enjoy his part more. Either way he is definitely a great actor.

Half the theater started laughing, basically all the other jackasses (all guys) like us that for roped into it by their broads.
I freaking hate that excrement movie to this day. I want to roast a penguin for dinner and punch Morgan Freeman in his face. I freaking hate penguins and their freaking march.

It was called one of the best of the year, not the best of his career. Calling it overrated basically means suggesting it wasn't very good.

I'm just not a fan of his period pieces. Granted there were only two, but Inglorious Basterds and Django were two of his weakest movies in my opinion. I'd rather he go back to filming stories set in the modern era. His next one seems to be another Civil War era film though.

There's a quality leak of The Purge Anarchy out now.
To save you guys some trouble, just skip to all of the scenes with Frank Grillo. Not a bad way to spend to spend about 30 minutes. If the entire film focused on that character, it might have been one of my favorite movies of the year. But instead, the writers decided to focus on four other characters that were all completely terrible and that dragged the movie way down.

He's also making another Conan movie. That excrement will be terrible.

Arnold is 67 years old. That's just crazy.
BTW I read his book last year. Say what you want, but the guy is way smarter than most people give him credit for. The guy is success personified.

He's very smart. He's also a maniac, will say and do anything, he doesn't give 3 shits. Friends of the family had known him for a long time and I have a friend that was his bodyguard when he opened a Planet Hollywood in Coconut Grove with Stallone. That was in the mid 90's.
Anyway my buddy was a noted cop around the Grove, a freaking super cop, no lie. Anyhow, he and his wife as a reward got to serve as body guards for Arnold. Arnold sees her and touches her breast which was covered by a BP vest and says in his voice, " That's the hardest piece of silicon I have ever felt". My buddy laughed it off, he had to.
He told me he was golfing with a couple of Miami/Coconut Grove politicians earlier in the day (he had to guard him there as well). He asked one of them while chomping a cigar, " Do you remember your first blow job?". Of course they answer yes and he hits them with the tired and true line, " How did it taste?". No idea how the guy fell for that one.
My friends that know him said he would get derriere on top of derriere, Maria Shriver knew that when she married him. She probably got sick of him and outed him with the Nanny stuff but she could have used literally hundreds of other instances. They knew him during the body builder days and said he was going to be a billionaire or something of the like.

One word: ghostwriter.
The guy is a scumbag. Abuses women, cheats on his wife endlessly, and then tries to capitalize on it knowing what it'll do to his kids to drag it all out. So, selfish prick who doesn't give a excrement about anyone else and takes what he can get with reckless abandon.
Yeah, I can see why he's success personified to you.

My thoughts exactly.

I wasn't suggesting that he wrote the book himself and that's why he's smart. The guy literally came from nothing to become one of the most successful bodybuilders, action stars, and elected governor of the largest state in the country. Not to mention being a savvy businessman. All that in a country he emigrated when he was already an adult. Raw talent can only get you so far, the dude has brains.

Charisma is often mistaken for intelligence. Intelligent people can correctly pronounce the name of their state; charismatic people don't need to.

Sometimes narcisism and sociopathy get in the way of things. Arnold is more than a little bit of both. I don't think the guy is dumb, I would say he is pretty smart, just his proclivities get in the way of his decisions.

Mean Creek is on Netflix Instant
It's excellent
-
There's a high quality rip of Boyhood floating around the interwebz now.
It's about 3 hours long, so be prepared for that.
I thought it was good, not great. Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette were both solid, but the rest of the cast was pretty awful. The guy that plays Mason's first stepfather is one of the worst actors I've ever seen.
Ellar Coltrane wasn't completely terrible, but he was very robotic at times and it ruined parts of the film. The scenes shared between Coltrane and Hawke were my favorite parts of this. The final scene with Coltrane and Arquette was also pretty great.
Linklater's daughter kept getting worse as the movie went on. I remember reading that she didn't want to be involved with it after a few years, so that probably has a lot to do with it.
One of the best soundtracks ever for me. Nostalgia to the max.

I watched Invictus the other day, it was better than I expected. The rugby scenes were actually filmed really well; I think that capturing the feel of live sport in a movie is one of the hardest things to do, and Eastwood did an excellent job of it.

Mine too. My brother and I would watch that whenever it came on cable when we were younger. Probably have seen it more than 100 times.

Did you just watch Prisoners or something?
I figured it out way too quickly and that pissed me off.
Just watched it tonight, and while I thought it was largely excellent I agree with you. The priest opens the story up way too early.

I really want to see The Rover. No leaks and it's not playing anywhere near me.
Watching Locke tonight.

I want to see The Rover because Guy Pearce is generally really good in everything he does, but I have heard mixed reviews of it.

Had the pleasure of working a few summers as a doorman in the building on 5th avenue where he lived. Awesome and nice guy. He insisted on calling me "Thomas" instead of Tom. Who was I to correct him? He took pleasure in the fact that no one called me Thomas ever, just him. He'd always emphasize it too. "Thomas!" "Good morning, Thomas!" Loved it.
He had an office near the lobby, and would let us fill out water bottles from his cooler. Can't stress how nice a guy he was.
His wife Joanne Woodward was a bit of a pain. She was nice, but I'll never forget bringing her up to her penthouse apt while she carried a tray of cookies. Kept remarking how awesome they were. Not once did she offer one. Bitch. Paul would have given me the tray and asked to distribute amongst the guys.

Seconded. Liked it a lot more than I expected to. It's formulaic but fun.

Sean William Scott is so damn annoying to me, every freaking part he plays is a rehashed Stiffler. He's tolerable in the movie?

Yes. It will come as no surprise to you that the American Pie movies did little for me so I was expecting to not like Goon for exactly the same reason, but he actually plays quite a fun role.

No, the last 2 were excrement. The first one was quite funny at the time, I don't think I would ever rewatch it though.
Edit: I will probably give it a go, I just hope he can skate believably, which is a huge pet peeve of mine with regard to hockey flicks.

Lol you said my response in your second paragraph. Yes the plot is essentially the same. But it looks like it will be executed much better this tine.
Little known fact, The Island (one of the only Michael Bay films I like, I hate him with a passion generally ) is a complete ripoff of a old low budget movie called Parts:The Clonus Horror

Watched Transcendence yesterday, I don't know why it got such a bad reception. I thought it was excellent; awesome cast (Bettany, Depp, Freeman, Mara), beautifully shot (the director Wally Pfister is Christopher Nolan's DP) and Nolan himself producing. The subject matter is a really interesting idea that has fascinated me since seeing The Lawnmower Man years and years ago and this takes it to another level. Some of the ideas are a bit of a stretch but if we can get down with space raccoons I think we should be able to give something with this much intelligence the right to a bit of a leap of faith.
Also watched The Amazing Spiderman 2 (good, but really annoying ending for several reasons) and Frank (very odd, still not quite sure if I enjoyed it or not).

The entire movie fails for me when it's revealed Hugh Jackman was cloning himself for his trick. It's too jarring a shift in the level of suspended disbelief. The movie's entire premise is that there's a plausible, rational solution to every magic trick and then it ends with "SURPRISE! magic is for real." It's as unsatisfying an ending as "it was all a dream."

They both reveal their tricks during the final showdown. I would argue that "my bro does magic too" isn't nearly as difficult a pill to swallow as "I've been murdering my cloned self every night for years." One makes sense, and works within the rules of the film's universe as understood by the audience, and the other is total science fiction.
You have to adhere to the rules of suspended disbelief that have been established throughout the film. The clone trick doesn't fit. It would be like if at the end of Back to the Future, Doc uses the Force to reach the power cable on the clock tower.

They both reveal their tricks during the final showdown. I would argue that "my bro does magic too" isn't nearly as difficult a pill to swallow as "I've been murdering my cloned self every night for years." One makes sense, and works within the rules of the film's universe as understood by the audience, and the other is total science fiction.
The clone trick is established early on in the movie, not just at the end. The opening scene is a shot of the woods with dozens of the hats that Tesla machine cloned. Halfway through you see him actually clone the hats as well as the black cat.
Even if you think the cloning aspect is stupid, the whole movie you are led to believe that Tesla's machine is an actual teleportation device. Is teleportation really that much different from "magic"? Obviously the viewer is waiting for the logical explanation as to how the trick works, as they show with every other trick in the movie. They hint that Tesla's machine has magical properties all throughout the movie. "Forgive me it's been a while since I've seen real magic", "Tesla's machine - it actually works", and the scene with hundreds of lightbulbs in the ground.
The Borden twist isn't just that he has a brother, it's that his character was hanged just scenes earlier, and he appears to come back to life (to Angier and the viewer).

Yeah, I'm not labeling the clone reveal as a total deus ex machina, it certainly was built up earlier, but it just feels like a plot strand from a completely different movie. The movie opens as a tense character-driven drama about two feuding magicians and the lengths they'll go to for revenge. I loved that movie. I loved the Bale reveal. I think that should have been the entire movie, and it would have been a great, great film.
The fantastic elements are just introduced too late in the story, and the shift from compelling period piece drama to existential science fiction feels distracting and shoehorned. The main story arc- the feuding magicians- seems trivial compared to the invention of a cloning machine. All the compelling themes of the first film- the self-destructive elements of revenge, the obsessions of the characters, the duplicitous nature of illusions- take an immediate backseat to HOLY freak A CLONING MACHINE.

It was definitely a weird shift but I was willing to roll with it.

Saw the Crazies because of Timothy Olyphant , it was ok.
The Last House on the Left I heard was decent. I have been meaning to see it, but always turn it in when it's halfway thru. Aaron Paul I think it's in it.
Resident Evil and Devil are trash.
-
The remake of Last House On The Left I seem to recall was a scene for scene remake, raising the obvious question of why they bothered. If you have the option then see the original, but if that's the only version available then I'm sure it will be fine. Be warned it's a properly nasty, vicious film, if you're the type of little boy who would get bad dreams.
I wasn't fussed on The Crazies as I recall, but it was definitely better than Resident Evil which was hot garbage.

Just watched (most of) Jackie Brown for the first time in a while.
I have to say, a bunch of us watched this opening night and we had to wait for the midnight showing because of sell-outs, but this was a huge disappointment for me. First QT post-Pulp Fiction movie, and me being relatively young at the time, found it boring and tedious. Now, through multiple viewings, of course, it's a real enjoyable movie and Tarantino's most underrated movie, which, isn't really saying a lot because his movies are so highly rated, but still...a pretty underrated flick, with some good acting.

I am an admitted pansy, I freaking despise all things horror genre? The Last of Us game had me freaking a bit during the scenes trying to pass the clickers in the dark (might have been in Pittsburgh), I am so torn on this movie. It should be amazing because the source material is just fantastic, but I don't know if I will be able to watch it. Because if it's done right, it should be scarier than all get out at times.

Went to see Fury yesterday and it was just OK...
The battle scenes/visuals and the acting were excellent, but the story was non-existent and the characters were poorly developed. There wasn't much clarity. The men and their tank just went on a few missions and that was it.
I knew absolutely nothing about the five leads when the film is over. We're fighting to fight, that's it. We don't come from anywhere and we don't care about anyone. I felt like all five were just shitty cliches of people I've seen in other war films.

It was actually really good. It's a movie about a contract killer who's seeking revenge. The producers know that these killer movies can be kind of corny so the plot with the dog actually helps a bit. It's almost like the producers are saying listen, "Don't take this movie too seriously, because we're not." They work in a really cool plot line regarding the how criminals operate in this world that makes the movie even more interesting.
All you need to know is that Keanu is freaking bad derriere, the movie is fun, and you'll definitely laugh.

My views on Nicholas Winding Refn's Drive are I think well known, but for those of you who are fans there is now a re-scored version. It's being shown on the BBC tonight, I think; the re-score was done using up to date music and it was done by DJs and producers from BBC's Radio 1 (their contemporary music channel) with the blessing of NWR. I don't know if it will work - the score was the best thing about the movie, for me - but it sounds like an interesting project. I don't think it's getting a release so you'll probably have to torrent it if you're interested to see it.

The score was great for that movie, I don't know why you would want to mess with it too much.

Me neither. The fact that it has been done with the director's approval is what makes me think it might be worth watching; also it seems to be led by DJ Zane Lowe who is a divisive character, but who champions a lot of good music.

The tongue just saw the movie for the first time this weekend and really enjoyed it. If he doesn't mind modern music then you know the score was excellent.
Your main problem with the movie was Gosling? If I remember correctly. (just a yes/no question really, no need to go into detail if you don't want to)

Partly, although it's more than that that. As a piece of art it was well done, as a story featuring characters and plot it was pretty much non-existent. Stylish but vacuous.

The fact it was so stylized would certainly get in the way of the story for some people. I really didn't have that much of a problem with it.
One of the other big problems some had with Drive was the ending. He didn't end up with the girl, or it was too open ended, that excrement drives people nuts. It was sort of like people being angry with the ending of NCFOM, as if Llewelyn Moss would realistically be able to beat a stone cold killer like Chigurgh.

That's why I said it was great acting. On paper it sounds easy to just "tell a story," but the way all three of them act (without Dreyfuss or Schneider saying a word) is powerful stuff. The fact it's a true story makes it that much dramatic and I'm sure anyone who was on that ship that survived and saw that scene would have bought Shaw a beer for the way he told their story.
But, I definitely agree, I don't care how many times I've seen it, a great freaking movie all around.

Just watched Exodus Gods and Kings in the theatre. It wasn't half bad actually. I feel like they're really going down the middle and making it like a typical fantasy epic for the secular crowd, but enough religious stuff to make the more religious people happy.
Watched it in 3D which was a waste, but it was the only showing available when I felt like watching a movie.

Posted this in the Annoyances thread, but American Sniper was a very pleasant surprise overall. It was the anti-Lone Survivor, completely devoid of unnecessary stylizing, which took it from another war movie to more of a character piece. Not the best film about the Iraq war, but a very good one.

Finally got around to Her.....wow.
Riveting movie. The use of music and cinematography was fantastic and I can't say enough about Joaquin Phoenix. He acted his derriere off. How the freak did he not even get nominated for this?? Amy Adams with her usual understated great performance. Best movie I've watched in some time.

I'm assuming since you enjoyed it so much, you contributed to their Kickstarter to get it legally released broadly in the US? Thank you. It's a huge help when people actually pay to see small pictures so they can continue to get made and the industry doesn't further degrade into tent poles and adaptations of crowd pleasing bestsellers.

We had a free Showtime weekend a couple weeks ago. Put a bunch of crap on the DVR and am just getting around to watching.
Had no idea that Showtime was pretty much all B movies. Some real garbage in there, but I may have found a couple gems.
Mine Games - Had no idea what to expect going in. Bunch of 20 somethings go on vacation and excrement goes terriby wrong. They probably made this movie for 100K and some of the acting is terrible, but the concept is great. Not to be too over the top, but Hitchcock would be proud of this one.
The Day - Post apocalyptic survival story. I always like this kind of movie so I gave it a go. I have no idea exactly why, but I loved it.

Chef is a nice feel-good movie. And great food porn.
Watched Man of Steel the other day and it was solid. The design of the Kryptonian technology was the coolest part. Some dialogue was pretty lame and the product placement felt really obvious to me though.

Yup. Been on my list for a while. I had to focus more on the captioning, because the dubbing was pretty lol bad. I didn't even know there was an American remake. I will check it out.

Watching Stand By Me for the umpteenth time and don't care, one of my favorite movies ever.
It's so sad how most of us folk around here can easily relate to this story, not necessarily looking for a dead body, but hiking through the woods (the dirtier, the wetter, the muddier, etc the better), wasting time talking about ridiculous excrement, starting trouble with adults, getting harassed by older kids...now...how does any kid less than 20 years old relate? They don't do excrement like this anymore.

I will gladly watch it again, though.

Here you freaking insipid cunts: I have to say this place is getting insanely tiring:
Whiplash was the bestest movie I ever saw, I was amazed from start to finish. JK Simmons reminds me of my grandad such a loving, caring, guy omg he was such an awesome person. Miles teller wow the character he played what an engaging personality, I thought he was my best friend. The other characters in the movie wow amazing, the best ensemble cast I ever saw. That band, I can't name any of them but they were awesome actors, wow simply had me amazed from the word tempo. That first band leader the black guy, I know racist, I can't remember his name what a set up to JK Simmons, just amazing. Paul Reiser, wow another riveting character, holy excrement I have never seen a father played like that before unreal, I don't think they could find an actor better suited anywhere to play that part. Oh and the love interest he told to freak off, what another amazing performance, she had me on my feet clapping.

I liked it, but it was a bit slow to watch with a good buzz. I couldn't decide if I wanted to kill or hug the imaginary friend.
I'm sure I'll see it under better conditions and enjoy it.
-
City of God for the umpteenth time. Never gets old.
-
I thought that was a really solid movie.
It's twenty years ago, so maybe I'll have to give it another go. It stands out in my mind as being the only movie that I ever left early from the theatre, and the fact that I got a blowjob in the parking lot as thanks because she hated it even more.

excrement if you're getting blow jobs for leaving movies early, I would have left Goodfella's or NCFOM...................well really Lord of the Rings because it's all just fantasy anyhow.

I think a few of you were a little generous about The Babadook. I think it's 2.5/5 on Redbox is pretty accurate. The 98% on RT is laughable.
Obvious Spoilers are obvious...
I enjoyed it, but the whole 'did the Babadook even exist, or was the mother just losing her excrement', was telegraphed in the first 15 minutes.
"You can see it when you're older." Yeah, OK mom.
There is no Babadook in the basement. Mommy lost her excrement. I really wish it ended the way the book in the movie did. That bitch can DIAF.

Similar to your opinion on Inside Out, I'm pretty you are the one that's off about this one.
It's not one of the best horror films ever made or anything, but as a film about mental illness, it's pretty great. There's a ton of symbolism throughout and I think that is something you missed.

No, didn't miss it. Got the symbolism no problem. It was shoved in my face FFS (as noted I got it in the first 15 minutes). There were a few amazing scenes, not going to lie, but 98% on RT?!? That's ridiculous.
"Critics Consensus: The Babadook relies on real horror rather than cheap jump scares -- and boasts a heartfelt, genuinely moving story to boot."
The story about the mom and son was solid, really solid. If there was anything between dark still frames and cheap jump scares... I watched a different movie.
-

You said the mother was "losing her excrement", which she clearly wasn't at the beginning of the film.
When she became possessed, sure. But not in the first fifteen minutes of the film. She was just dealing with manic depression.
The whole line about Sam seeing it when he's older is not talking about The Babadook locked in the basement. It was about depression and dealing with his father's death as he grows up and begins to understand.
-
I thought The Babadook was great. Doesn't compare to It Follows, though. Two months later and I'm still looking over my shoulder.

Yeah, it's incredible value for your money. So much so that shareholders are wondering if $8 is even sustainable in the long run. Raisin prices will be tough, but they'll figure out some way to do it in the future.

i'll keep watching. Trying NOT to binge this one.

It's a super slow burn. It took me most of the first 6 episodes to appreciate it. It's definitely very good.
It's not really a show you can binge easily since each episode is so dense. Most I have watched and not had to go back to catch some stuff was two episodes.
-

I've watched since it started and it's intentionally slow. Halfway into the third season, I think Daniel has only been out for a month tops.
It is not meant to be binged. There's really deep philosophical dialogue at times and some really powerful scenes. It's not about a show about "what happens next"...

Haha yeah edited my post to say kinda the same thing. The first season was only a week in real time so I'm not surprised that's where they are at in season 3. I'm still only halfway through season 2.

If you want all of those things, along with preposterous storylines and some ridiculous continuity gaffes, try Strike Back. It's basically 24 meets MI5/Spooks and does Special Forces. It's absolutely terrible but the action and the naked chicks are awesome. Currently my go-to for the treadmill.

I watch that show as well, it's pretty preposterous that's for sure but it is what it is, fun to watch. I think it's a decent B-movie level series. The final year is this year and the first episode was pretty ridiculous.

Terminator 2 for the first time in ages. What a great freaking movie. I've only gone to the theatre twice for the same movie two times and T2 was one of them.
And...Robert Patrick might be the best villian ever.

How can you say he's not fantastic? You've probably seen double the movies I've seen, but his demeanor is perfect for the role.
-
Fantastic, yes, but I wouldn't say best villain ever.
-
You're probably both right, it's a bit of a stretch, but I was feeling a little nostalgic watching it. It used to scare the hell out of me the way he ran after John Connor. Just cold, cold, cold.
-

Yeah he was scary in the sense that he was programmed to kill, so zero emotion. As cold as you can get.
-
Robert Patrick is a great one dimensional villain. I prefer guys with a bit more range, but it's damn impressive nonetheless. For me, I'd probably say (in no particular order) the Top 5 are Hans Gruber, Harry Powell, Amon Goeth, Ledger's Joker, and Hans Landa. It's tough to make a list, though. Villains are great for different reasons. Jaws might be one of the most impressive villains simply because he's a damn animatronic shark whose horror comes entirely from direction and he's as terrifying unseen as seen.
-
Frank Booth and John Doe are pretty tough to beat in the "simply fucked what the freak" villain category.
-
I always keep Die Hard With A Vengeance on, great movie for senseless action/violence.
McClain: you know, your brother was a real poopchute.
Simon Gruber: *laughing* yeah, he was. You really got his number.
I always loved that exchange. Frank Booth might be the most fucked up character ever. But, what's more creepy than Harry Dean Stanton singing Roy Orbison with lipstick on?
Gotta love Michael Myers in the original Halloween. Just his precence alone is enough to scare the excrement out of you. There's very little violence in that movie. Of course, Javier Bardem is fantastic in NCFOM. The coin flip scene alone is worth the price of admission.
-
Who's the one movie villain that you absolutely wanted to see fail and we're happy that they did? I often find myself half rooting for the bad guys, but trying to think of one that I genuinely hated.

Hannibal Lecter and Darth Vader have to be up there as well. John Doe's the greatest I can think of though.

I haven't seen Primal Fear in forever but Edward Norton right at the end is really freaking creepy and I have to third the John Doe nominations.

He was a crappy villain.

He was a good villain. Although if you want to go for slasher baddies, Jason Voorhees was arguably more menacing and Freddie Krueger was a whole lot more charismatic.

They were both pieces of excrement. Plainview disowning his son after his accident was terrible.
That entire "bastard in a basket" scene turned him into a complete villain for me.

500 Days of Summer is not a chick flick. Not every movie that deals with relationships deserves that title. Chick flicks are shitty movies that pander to women. They're not good.

I'll definitely give her credit for one thing: she made her intentions well known in the beginning. It's all the mixed messages she sends him after they break up that gets me. Bitch was a bit of a hyperbole. It was the first time I saw it in a long time. Definitely a good movie.

Hahaha. The only thing I know about that movie is that annoying freaking Goo Goo Dolls song was in it and all over the place when it was being marketed.

I only watch about one or two shows at a time. With Rectify, I watched it as it aired. Same goes for The Leftovers and Fargo. I usually watch about a movie a week too, but that's usually on Sunday morning or on a bus trip to a game.
Probably don't get enough sleep either though...

I sort of schedule it out to manage time. The last movie I watched was Me And Earl And The Dying Girl and that was over a week ago. I'll probably watch The Gift tomorrow on the bus ride.
When Fargo starts next Monday, the only shows I'm watching will be on Sunday and Monday nights.

I wonder about that too. Obviously with having kids I have an added obstacle to time, but you're a football coach which takes up a lot "not at work" time too. I consider a "good night's sleep" 6 hours, usually I get less and I never feel like I've got enough time to watch movies, TV shows, sports, and play video games. I don't know how you do it.

I'm sure I can find the time to get into shows, but whenever I do have free time I'm usually just messing around on the internet while something familiar is playing in the background.

I don't think they're trying to. Iggy will have better insight into this than me, but I think it's more about taking a movie that's proven to be popular and repackaging it in such a way as to get people who were too young to have seen it in theatres first time around to shell out their money. There's little value in 25 year olds watching the original on Netflix.

As I said, I have my doubts that anything will come of this. excrement tons of movies go into pre-production and are never made. This seems like an attention grabbing move from a MP group that just spent a lot of money acquiring the rights to a lot of films that have very limited sequel and remake potential. They grabbed the most headline-grabbing one and said 'we are going to remake this'. They've so far made excrement films that no one saw. I'm guessing this is to drive interest in their films, not an honest attempt to remake Memento. We'll see, but I wouldn't be surprised if this gets 'held up' indefinitely.

Lots of Stephen King stuff in the works. I just hope half of them actually get made.

I 100% disagree. The trailer had a "we're not taking ourselves too seriously" vibe which I think set the tone and expectations. People went in with low expectations, thinking it was probably going to be bad, but have awesome action and maybe some laughs, and walked away loving it because it actually was a very well put together movie.
I can't watch this scene enough times.

The wife and I watched The Big Short today since she had an unexpected day off. I thought it was great if a bit long and inconsistent. Bale was great as usual, as was Carell. Gosling played Gosling and Pitt was rather underutilized, but some of the supporting cast more than made up for it. The method of explaining terminology is awesome, too. Highly recommend it when it hits theaters.

I read the book and at a loss as to how they could make that interesting to the lay person. Glad they did.
-
We both found it interesting. It's not flashy and fun like Wolf of Wall Street, a characteristic which I thought worked to that film's detriment. It's much more honest and subdued, but a great mix of comedy, drama, and info.
Spoiler?
The way they define terminology is by getting celebs on screen in bizarrely incongruous settings explaining to the camera. Margot Robbie in a bathtub talking about subprime mortgage backed securities. Anthony Bourdain in the kitchen using three day old fish to talk about CDOs. The first person fourth wall breaking is so weird and inconsistent that what they say really sticks.

Final girls is a horror/comedy/drama
The cast is really good. Alia Shawkat, Middleditch (lead from Silicon Valley) , Adam devine, a few others you'll recognize.
Premise is super cheesy but writing and acting us really good given the premise . A Lil much on the drama at times but overall a solid horror/comedy cult entry
Tucker AND Dale vs Evil is a gem in that dept

I just watched Joy. It was much weaker than David O Russell's last few movies. Inconsistent but overall I'd say it was good. Spotlight and The Revenant are my top two right now.

Just curious from your review I wouldn't think the Hateful 8 was a top flick, or did you exclusively mean in the Pantheon of Tarantino flicks?

Just curious from your review I wouldn't think the Hateful 8 was a top flick, or did you exclusively mean in the Pantheon of Tarantino flicks?
It's a weaker Tarantino film, but the 2nd act is strong enough to merit its position here. I couldn't put things like The Martian in here (dragged too much for me) or Sicario (which I didn't enjoy at all) even though they were well made. So a movie that was flawed still made it into the Top 10. Joy was another that came close but ultimately had problems. It was a great year for flawed movies that survived on their moments. Even #2 and 4 on my list had weaker points.

Saw hateful eight, it was good but I wasn't crazy about it. Unnecessarily long
-
Saw the Equalizer, I thought that was pretty good.
-
Just saw Whiplash. Great movie, but one of those artsy films that I'll probably never see again.
Also saw Spring Breakers for the first time. Thought it was good, and jerked off about twice. Once related to the movie, second just because.

hahahahahahahahaha

Ex machina was superb. Oscar isaacs was great as always and whoever wrote the screenplay can have my money all day long

It's Alex Garland. He is one of the best.
The Beach, 28 Days Later, Sunshine, Never Let Me Go, Dredd

I started ex machina last night but passed out (had niece n nephew here for about 5 days )
Only got about 25 mins in but it looked like a great Sci fi psychological slow burn
Also a fan of his after 28 days later so the hype had me ready to go.

Huge fan of Denzel. he pumped out too many movies and i got tired of him the last few years.
but that movie was one of his better ones IMO. underrated

Absolutely necessary to state that he wrote the great book The Beach, not the travesty of an adaptation. Walked out of the theater saying "What have you done...WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
-
I only watched The Beach because my friends wouldn't shut up about it while we were in Thailand and visited the actual beach, which is gorgeous. Only prob is that it's packed with tourists who won't shut up about Leonardo Dicaprio having once shot a movie there.

I saw Sicario and thought it was fantastic. There were some intense scenes. One of the best movies I saw this year, the cinematography was great as was the acting.
I can understand how some people wouldn't like it. It might be too intense for some or maybe family oriented people.

I have no issue with the intensity. Sicario had zero emotional center. The forced attempt at emotion just made it all the more glaring and terrible. The whole tacked on excrement with the kid just helped to ruin it. Even Zero Dark Thirty had more emotional heft, and that one relied so heavily on people bringing their own emotional response to real life events.

This was my biggest issue with Zero Dark Thirty, it had absolutely no emotional engagement. It was like watching a Discovery dramatization with slightly better production values.
I'm intrigued to watch Sicario now.

Some minor spoilers if you haven't seen the movie.........please do not read the next paragraph till you have seen it.
You're referring to the kid and the dirty cop.... Those scenes could have been cut out yes. I didn't have nor feel much emotional attachment there, agreed. I just didn't have that same issue. They also happened to be the weakest actors in the movie, maybe that was it. It was minor imo, so it didn't really affect how I saw the overall movie.
Spoiler Free:
To be honest Zero Dark Thirty was a good movie but I have no desire to ever see it again. I have more issues with that movie than I did with Sicario, which I will see again.
I don't know maybe we just have to agree to disagree. I am kind of aggravated I didn't see this in a theater, I think the experience would have been fantastic, the cinematography was about as good as you can get. Actually , the cinematography was up there with most any movie I have seen in the last few years. It was a taught suspenseful movie, I can overlook the parts you had issue with.

I think I was more disappointed because the cinematography was so good (although The Revenant was better). Instead of crafting an honest emotional core which fit within the framework of the movie, they added on that horseshit as a substitute as though the only way to go was to try to tug at the heartstrings. They ruined the movie through the absence of the former and the presence of the latter. Doubly frustrating.

Bone Tomahawk was one of the best movies I saw in 2015.
Slow burn, great writing, better acting, and great directing.
In a year of a lot of hype it slid under the radar for sure. I feel like you could've easily just attached a big name to the production credits and it would've done well in the box office .
Maybe it's just me, but I loved it .

Eternal Sunshine once again. What a great movie. Don't care how many times I've seen it.

Never seen it. Always assumed it was a generic romantic comedy. Are you saying I should make the effort?

Man I was so fucked up. I bought two bottles of wine in preparations for her coming over after this baby shower or some excrement at 10pm.

I definitely would not recommend it
The acting outside of Kurt Russell was atrocious. The movie was confused in terms of what time period it was in, and it was about an hour too long. It seemed like it was trying to be a Coen brothers film at times, but failed miserably. I could have easily watched the last 10 minutes of the movie on YouTube and saved myself 2 hours of my life.
Also....
Spoiler: there is no way they made it back to their town alive, so all of that was for nothing.

Without Javier Bordem, I'm pretty sure most people don't give it the same review.
So of course they should get the credit for casting him. That's part of what makes a good film is finding the perfect ppl for the roles.
He made the movie imo. Huge Brolin fan also.
Great film. I knew what to expect from them going in , just didn't meet the hype for me.
I realize the reverence that film holds historically, so I don't expect anyone to agree with me .
Just one opinion .

Sanity is severely overrated

Some people might find them campy amd corny . But the Shogun Assassin series (Lone Wolf And Cub in Japan), the inspiration for Kill Bill and GZA's Liquid Swords album, was ahead of its time imo.
Considering the resources and time of release the stylized action, cinematography , and basic yet intense plot was a good job turning your standard lone Ronin theme on its head by involving the" Assassin with child " story.
Then again Akira Kurosawa is the standard for Japanese film imo. Different work completely though.
-

To each their own, I guess.
No one I saw it with could stand Mr. or Mrs. O'Dwyer. Their acting was absolutely atrocious. After the first scene, when they're talking in their house, we actually thought about stopping the movie because Lili Simmons was so bad, but we figured she was going to get kidnapped so we wouldn't have to watch her anymore.
Also, I enjoy longer movies and the effects it can have to increase the suspense of the movie and emphasize the main challenge needed to be overcome, but showing how long their journey was did nothing to make the movie any better. If you're not watching the movie for the acting, get to the action already and be done with it. The Coens do a good job of these long types of movies because they get great actors and their directing sets the tone and keeps you engaged. Zahler didn't do it for me.
I will say though, there were a couple awesome scenic shots of the 4 of them when they were on their horses that I did enjoy, but I'm not sitting through 140minutes to see some dudes sitting on a horse and a guy get scalped and cut in half.
-

I'm not sure what you're looking for if you thought the acting in Bone Tomahawk was bad. I could understand someone criticizing the slow pace or the simple plot, but the acting was excellent. Better than that in Matthew Fox's case. I want to be that dude for Halloween.

If I ever meet you, I owe you a drink .
Not too many people are familiar with it I own all 5 films . I believe you can get a collectors blu ray for like 50 bucks . Maybe less .
I had to track down the American re releases individually over time before they released the collectors box set .
It never gets old to me. I think I've watched part 1 like 20 or 30 times and the rest of the series like 5 times over the years .
Its cool to see the son age and his narration is always good. Basic plot obviously but Ogami Itto is one of the most badass characters in film to me lol.
But yeah, I feel like that movie influenced a lot of action movies after it . It obviously spawned Kill Bill. Just glad he paid homage to it in the film

So of course they should get the credit for casting him. That's part of what makes a good film is finding the perfect ppl for the roles.
He made the movie imo. Huge Brolin fan also.
Great film. I knew what to expect from them going in , just didn't meet the hype for me.
I realize the reverence that film holds historically, so I don't expect anyone to agree with me .
Just one opinion .
Without the Predator, I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't give Predator the same review
-
If I ever meet you, I owe you a drink .
Not too many people are familiar with it I own all 5 films . I believe you can get a collectors blu ray for like 50 bucks . Maybe less .
I had to track down the American re releases individually over time before they released the collectors box set .
It never gets old to me. I think I've watched part 1 like 20 or 30 times and the rest of the series like 5 times over the years .
Its cool to see the son age and his narration is always good. Basic plot obviously but Ogami Itto is one of the most badass characters in film to me lol.
But yeah, I feel like that movie influenced a lot of action movies after it . It obviously spawned Kill Bill. Just glad he paid homage to it in the film
In Tarantino's original screenplay for KB2, The Bride kills Elle with a small cut to the neck and she "mists" out like the third Master of Death.

haha nice
he went with the very subtle nod of the daughter asking Thurman "can we watch shogun assassin?"
i was like ok good, because up to that point i was thinking, so "this is his take on Shogun Assassin huh?"
-
Shogun Assassin is a great flick. I got into it years ago because of the GZA (Liquid Swords) and then liked it so much I got the DVD. I haven't watched it years, but when I first got it I couldn't shut it off.

When cut across the neck a sound like wailing winter winds is heard. I'd always hoped to cut someone like that someday. But to have it happen to my own neck is, ridiculous

Is it actually a good movie or one of those gore fests that people claim is awesome but actually suck (Ichi the killer is an example).
-
Ichi The Killer didn't suck, you freaking Philistine.

I wouldn't call Shogun Assassin a gore fest at all, although some would maybe disagree with me on that one. A pretty moving flick IMO.
-
Think an Akira Kurosawa action film, same tones, drama, and theres some good imagery and tension building. ......but much more blood. There's plenty of violence . But there's plenty of substance . The opening 20 minutes are some of my favorite in film .especially considering when it was made . I definitely found it to be deeper than a samurai slash em up. Some might inaccurately see it as that I guess.
It's actually 2 films edited into one. The 6 films were condensed into 5 whem localizef to america. I havejt seen the uncut japanese version but ive read the Shogun assassin cut is better. It's based of a Manga called Lone Wolf And Cub.
It has one of the best scenes in any film imo. It's a very ballsy and intense way to open a film by any means
"
I have decided to escape, to defy the shogun. Today I will begin walking the road to hell. But you will choose your own path. So, soon you may be seeing heaven. Choose the sword, and you will join me. Choose the ball and you join your mother, in death. You don’t understand my words, but you must choose. So… come boy, choose life or death."
-
Ichi The Killer didn't suck, you freaking Philistine.
Haha I'm a fan of Takashi Miike's work.
Out of all his feature lengths I think his short film featured in 3 Extremes ( or is it Extreme 3) is best
It was a trilogy of horror films from Takashi Miike , Fruit Chan, and one other asian Director.
-
OK I was wrong. I knew I forgot someone . Mr Oldboy himself Park Chan Wook.
His short in 3 Extremes was amazing

Wolf's dialog is worth the whole movie as far as I'm concerned. I love the scene where they get high and talk about what they want to do. It would be nothing now, but I'd call it pretty groundbreaking for when they made it. Most of the 2 gangs in the movie were real gang members.

Can't really describe how horrifying and strangely beautiful this film was. The audience I saw it with watched the screen with an unholy reverence, stumbling out in silence as the credits rolled. Undoubtedly scary, but it's more than a thrill machine. Tight editing, a jangling score, and committed performances raise a great story into a classic horror drama, showcasing the collapse of a family after being terrorized by a sinister force. I felt like I just witnessed something that I've never seen before, and that's bold praise for horror considering that most of the genre these days is made up of 80s pastiche.
Black Phillip for president.

I really think it derives its dusty grittiness from maimings, fanciful threats, a mordant wit, and intricate plays for power. Add its small sets, sublime vistas, exquisite period costumes, and calculating antihero, and you’ve got a fairly ambitious picture tailor-made for that slice of the Christian audience accustomed to the tropes and beats of prestige cable dramas.

It was fantastic. An elderly couple got up and walked out about 10 minutes into it. No idea what they were expecting.
Eggers was almost certainly inspired by The Shining, The Crucible, and Rosemary's Baby. It's intentionally slow. The build up is perfect. A medieval epic is supposedly going to be his next film. Really anticipating that. He didn't rely on any cheap scare tactics or familiar tropes. It was refreshing.
Great acting. I want to see it again with subtitles because the settlers have thick accents (mainly the father) and it was hard to understand him during a few scenes.

Eggers could fix True Detective, but I hope that show dies in a fire now.

Went to the theatres to see Revenant or Deadpool but both were playing later than I wanted to wait so I went to see VVitch. It was alright, too slow for my taste.
While I guess it was a technically good movie I just didn't find it very interesting. I like to call it a critics film, one that movie reviewers and film enthusiasts will love while general audiences won't care for it too much
-
This isn't a shot at you, because I get that The Witch isn't for everyone (mainly because of the pace). I'm glad an independent horror film like this received a wide-release because it will give Robert Eggers a chance to make more great films with bigger budgets...but this is not a movie for a multiplex audience.
People will go into this expecting Ouija, Insidious, and even The Conjuring. People like this are going to call it overrated or terrible because it wasn't what they were used to or what they were expecting.
I'm not even sure if I would call The Witch a true horror film. Eggers is calling it a folktale. A lot of those stories have really, really dark undertones. It reminded me of Ben Wheatley's Kill List.

On a Netflix horror binge. Everything seems to have 1 star so I am watching regardless.
Kristy - 3 stars from me, but basically a C+. Low budget slasher (light) fun.
Mercy - Karl from TWD stars in 2014. 3 stars but at least a B-. More of a thriller. Had some good bits.
Honeymoon - Really fucked up low budget thriller with some light gore. You have to be patient for the payoff. Was still thinking about it the next day (if the story was told from another perspective, it would make much more sense) so I gave it 4 stars. Solid B.
Need something horror worthy of 4 stars, so if you know of one on Netflix let me know.

Stake Land - Made it halfway through, so I still need to finish it. It's not bad, but it feels like a low budget ripoff of Zombieland. Again, haven't finished it so I will reserve final judgement. Interesting that the kid from the FTWD shorts is the star.
The Guest - I gave it 3 stars. Well made for a low budget movie, but I felt like I had seen the same story before. I kept waiting for a big twist that never came. I enjoyed it, but obviously not as much as you.
Honeymoon is still the best low budget 'horror' movie I've seen on Netflix so far. The fact that is stars Ygritte from GOT certainly helps.

Yeah that's the one big problem I have with the finale, that storyline doesn't fit. However, with the exception of that, it's pretty good but not the pacing I would expect out of the show. It's usually borderline nuts.

Not sure if it's been mentioned here, but Hector and the Pursuit of Happiness was incredible.
To date, Simon Pegg has never been in a less than great movie (at least that I have seen).

Hush. Pretty inventive, well-made little slasher flick. Same guy who did Oculus.

Too early to say whether this will be good, but I approve of the casting. She's not the penumatic Lara of the original franchise, so I assume they'll be following the story of the Lara reboot/origins game from a couple of years ago.

Went to see Green Room this afternoon.
It is a perfect film. Interesting story with solid script, super violent/gory, realistic evil villains, and the cinematography was great.
Highly recommended to everyone.

Figures you would go see a slasher film taking place at the NFL draft. So some anonymous player offs Goodell?

I laughed about that earlier when I decided to go see it. Pretty funny coincidence.
I wouldn't call it a slasher film. It quickly turned from suspense to straight horror though.
Patrick Stewart is fantastic in this.

LBJ came out on HBO a few days ago.
Excellent movie. I have no idea if LBJ was actually anything like how Bryan Cranston depicted him, but his acting was superb.
Really was a great movie, and regardless of your political stances it's enjoyable. Also explains to the viewer how the Democrats lost the south which I never knew before.
I'd say it's a must watch

Funny enough, I just did a search for that phrase in this thread because I remembered the phrase being used.
Saying that, the guy was clearly inspired by The Shining and The Wicker Man and arose a lot of religious themes, just didn't find it scary enough. I appreciate the non-use of cgi crap because that does nothing for me. A good movie, just wasn't as good as I was expecting.

Honestly, the last time I came away from a movie and was truly awed by the horror was probably Requiem For a Dream and to a somewhat lesser extent Mulholland Drive. Funniest thing is neither movie I would think would be considered a true horror movie.

It's actually reviewing reasonably well. I still think it's a weird idea to try and remake one of the most entertaining and timeless comedies of all time, but it might actually not be such a terrible movie.

I'm guessing it's mediocre and not worthy of the passionate reviews on either side which have a little something extra involved. An unnecessary but harmless bit of fluff.
-
I've read some of those reviews, and a lot seem very defensive.

I've got a friend who is arguing that it's actually a totally different movie because the visuals are "way different" and cites the proton packs being slightly different looking as a reason.

I just figured I'd leave it at that, but honestly, if I could go back and tell myself before watching it to just skip it, I'd have saved two hours of my life.
Visually, the movie was pretty good (I'm sure the VFX looked far better on a big screen) but otherwise I didn't like it much. Given the cast members, I was unimpressed with the acting, and the story was just okay. Tom Hardy could've left well enough alone with the Bane voice too.

Pretty sure. Though I found myself thinking while watching "Am I watching the same thing everyone raved about?"
I know I often have a contrarian opinion on TV/film than many here, but I was surprised at how differently I felt about this movie than most. Again, I liked the effects--and I likely would've loved them on the big screen--but otherwise I could have done without seeing it.

I think you had different expectations than I did, and it couldn't meet them. It created a world within the Mad Max environment and just unleashed it. It wasn't a remarkable story. It didn't require remarkable acting. None of that was needed. It took an insanely simple plot and built basically action movie art around it. The whole thing was just perfectly staged and shot and had a bizarre realism to it that's really refreshing today. Calling it VFX diminishes what he built visually. Transformers has good VFX. That doesn't make it a fantastic piece of visual art.
I actually liked that in this stripped down futuristic world, the script was basically 10 pages long and didn't feel a need to explain anything.

The kids talked us into seeing Ghostbusters on $4 Tuesday. My suspicions were right. Extreme reviews in either direction were ridiculous. It was a decent movie that pales in comparison to the original, but anyone who doesn't go in wanting to love it or hate it will probably have a good time. This whole battle about whether it was a feminist movie was stupid. It wasn't. It's dumb to call it some girl power message movie. It doesn't play up gender at all, which is good. I was worried it would have some stupid "girls rock" moment.
-
I should probably clarify that I'm not suggesting anyone go see it. Don't. It just was better than its getting credit for.

I remember catching myself being pissed about one of my beloved movies being remade then I though "why the freak do you care?" Sony is a company that wants to turn a profit and they saw an opportunity. The original ghostbusters is still there for me to enjoy whenever I want, and I can choose to not watch the remake. It's sort of like the outrage with the Karate Kid remake. No one ever mentions the Jackie Chan and Smith remake anymore. The original is still The Karate Kid. If these companies with money, rights, and resources that I don't have want to churn a profit, go right ahead. You're not really "ruining" anything.

That's the best way to think. I was upset when they were trying to do Ghostbusters 3 and then it fell through over and over again due to egos. When I heard they were doing a remake, I groaned. I do like the cast and crew, but it still seemed stupid. When stuff came out about it being all girl power and feminist, I thought someone fucked up. Then I saw it, and it seems like much ado about nothing. I guess people got what they wanted and it got a much poorer box office than it deserves, but it was really nothing to be so angry about. To be honest, in some ways if it was doomed to be a let down, I'm glad they did it with a unique cast. It would have been so much worse if they failed on Ghostbusters 3. Instead they just made a decent summer movie that will hopefully get people to watch the original. There was a family in the popcorn line that had never seen the original. Maybe they will now. Hopefully they'll also start watching everything at home because the shitheads sat in the corner and talked through the first 15 minutes with people shushing them. I was far enough away that it wasn't really bothering me, but some woman apparently was really pissed and finally screamed at them and they shut up.

Hopefully they'll also start watching everything at home because the shitheads sat in the corner and talked through the first 15 minutes with people shushing them. I was far enough away that it wasn't really bothering me, but some woman apparently was really pissed and finally screamed at them and they shut up.
Very true.
On a side note. I still hate Dean Yaegar with a passion, ever since I was a kid. I watched the to original the other day and when we went on about how he's kicking them out I wanted to punch him in the face. That's nostalgia. That's how you know when a movie really digs deep. When you hate a fictional character with only 2 mins of screen time.

Yes. I do have to say, the one thing that doesn't hold up from the original is Walter Peck. That storyline is freaking stupid. I forgive it because it's Ghostbusters, but it's some really terrible writing and plotting.
-
I remember catching myself being pissed about one of my beloved movies being remade then I though "why the freak do you care?" Sony is a company that wants to turn a profit and they saw an opportunity. The original ghostbusters is still there for me to enjoy whenever I want, and I can choose to not watch the remake. It's sort of like the outrage with the Karate Kid remake. No one ever mentions the Jackie Chan and Smith remake anymore. The original is still The Karate Kid. If these companies with money, rights, and resources that I don't have want to churn a profit, go right ahead. You're not really "ruining" anything.
I already forgot that happened.

I can see the EPA and other people being suspicious. Walter Peck was a bit over the top but I can see some young government official trying to get ahead by exposing the popular ghostbusters.

I think the only people that should be remotely mad are the actors in the original movies. Their work gets tainted by a shitty remake.

And yet everyone but Ernie Hudson was all about it, and even Hudson said he'd never have made it but didn't think people would complain about it once they actually saw it. He had my opinion down exactly. Unnecessary remake that could never match up but ultimately better than expected. I think Dan Aykroyd was most excited for it.

He's a really poorly written caricature. It's fine. It doesn't ruin the movie or anything, but he's a walking plot device and they go WAY too over the top with him. He and Venkman go zero to 60 in 2 seconds with absolutely no reason. It's really poorly written because they clearly invented him just to advance certain plot beats and then figured they needed to add some conflict, but none of it is organic or makes any sense. They really could have done a better job with it, and his character probably didn't need to be there. There would have been better ways to advance the plot.

Looks really good and the pedigree is strong, but I get irrationally annoyed when otherwise serious movies make sideways references to other films that aren't connected e.g. Tommy Lee Jones: "Oh, I figure I've got one more hunt left in me". excrement like that unnecessarily takes the viewer out of the movie.

I found it utterly unengaging. I actually just had to go back to Wiki to remind myself of the plot, and I'm still drawing a blank. Even the hugely overrated Skyfall (Bond does Home Alone) was memorable, but Spectre was a big pile of meh. I'm not impressed at all with what Mendes has done with Bond and I hope he doesn't do any more.

Need a follow up post on this to confirm.
Never seen one, probably the last movie on earth I would ever watch, but every time I see the trailer for the new one and he rides a motorcycle directly through a wave in the middle of the ocean I laugh so freaking hard.
I will follow up to confirm.
The second one was bit excrement because it had no Vin Diesel, but the first xXx movie was awesome. James Bond meets The Fast And The Furious - it was utterly ridiculous and colossal amounts of fun. Do yourself a favour, put your brain in neutral for a couple of hours and watch it.

I don't know if the first one holds up at all but I remember liking it as a stupid over the top action movie at the time. I'm sure this new one is the same way.

That's what I did with Underworld last weekend, and I'll do it again with Resident Evil next weekend.
I get going to the movies for great storytelling but giving a movie like Underworld a excrement review because it's just a couple of hours of vampires, werewolves, and gun fire with a dash of plot is stupid and ridiculous. Some movies are meant to be mindless entertainment. And it's not like you don't know that heading into it.
Having an unaging Kate Beckinsale in leather never hurts either.

And like I said, it's a turn-your-brain-off for two hours thing. I love special effects. They're the only reason I'll throw away money on a ticket to see a movie in the theater. And these movies are chock-full of CGI and over-the-top violence.

I saw Logan the other day, it's the best Xman movie in my opinion but that is admittedly setting the bar low.
i think Logan is by far the best Superhero film. Deadpool is a close 2nd but only because of the uniquity of the character breaking the 4th wall, etc etc. The first Iron Man, Ant Man, and Dr Strange are all good too though.
The Dark Knight is amazing though. Shame about Ledger. He couldve been a huge boon to the DC Movies.
The Old Man Logan graphic novels are freaking epic. Its a shame Jackman cant come back and do a whole side series based off it.
FOX is the main culprit of excrement hero movies. Theyve yet to make a good Fantastic 4. Which is sad, because Dr. Doom might be the best villian in all of comics, DC or Marvel imo. The guy is basically a antihero version of Iron Man cut with Dr. Strange
anyways, freaking nerd rant.
I wish Marvel could pry away the X Men/ F4 rights from Fox and you could get a Defenders(the original Defenders - Hulk, Strange, Silver Surfer) and X Men VS Thanos and Inhumans thing going
also , Black Panther is essentially Marvel's Batman on roids. Getting Doom vs BP true to the comics wouldve been huge

The Town is on IFC.
The "remember who clipped your nuts" scene is excellent
There are a lot of good scenes in that movie. When Renner cracks the guy with the club asking "what'd you do to get my brother over there so cranked up," the car chase out of Boston after the bank robbery, the scene in the bar between Hamm-Lively about the dollar, the Fenway robbery...that is a really damn good movie. Even how he earned his nickname. The re-watchability factor in that movie is huge.

Yeah, it's one of my favorites. IFC was killing it yesterday, helping me survive a cold and some awful gulf weather.
The Departed, The Town, and Bad Boys

Renner as Gem and DiCaprio as Costigan are two of my favorite rather recent characters. Wahlberg as Dingham is great too. Alec Baldwin is a riot too.

Speaking of terrible movies that are still enjoyable I went to see power rangers because nostalgia and that excrement was all around bad but I still enjoyed it a lot.
I saw a review that basically said: "Power Rangers is not a good movie, but it's a good Power Rangers movie."
I never watched Power Rangers (I was a bit too old when they came out), but the trailers make me want to see it.
---------------------
I saw Beauty and the Beast this weekend. I had never seen the original, but this live action version was fantastic. I'm actually considering seeing it again in 3D because I could see in the film where 3D should really make the scenery pop.
I'm sure not everyone here is a Disney movie fan, but if you are, it was definitely worth seeing. The original is one of my wife's favorites and she felt the new one was really faithful to the original.

Sadly, I think both movies are about the same calibre. I really need to give The Departed another chance. I've been saying that for years, but haven't had the desire.

It's super cheesy but you always say you don't mind that. You won't really appreciate some of the fan service like when they drop the original theme song into the soundtrack for a few seconds or the original rangers cameos. It's probably still a fun enough watch without the nostalgia factor.

Yeah, I certainly won't get any of the nods to the fanbase, but it looks like a fun action movie, and like you said: I don't care about cheesy as long as it has good action.

Girl next to me on the plane is debating watching Godfather Part 2 (never seen the first), so she's frantically reading the wiki on the first movie to get up to speed. I wanna be like "just watch something else and watch the first at home."
Ugh, it's so annoying. You can't just gloss over the first movie by reading the synopsis on Wikipedia! It's a fuckn classic!

I'm not saying it would be ideal, and I haven't seen them in years, but there is so much backstory in 2 that I think it could make sense as a stand alone film.
This is coming from someone that found 1 painfully boring, and of course 3 was a total abortion.

I remember like 15 yrs ago watching Mulholland Dr and being so fascinated, like "Wtf did I just watch?".
I watched it like 3 times in a row, and researched on pre-reddit, pre-youtube forums and blogs to see what others' opinions were. Also it had titties.
I have to say, Watts' performance in it is one of the best I've ever seen.

I'd probably go with Blue Velvet and Lost Highway.
-
Gorilla got one and Fen got the second. Mulholland Dr. and Blue Velvet.
The scene with the bum behind the diner, the exchange between the cowboy and Adam the director, Club Silencio and the end with the grandparents crawling under the door and then blowing up and screaming in her face are some crazy, stay with you type scenes. That movie is filled with great performances and, yes, the lesbo scene is quite nice.
Blue Velvet is just a freaking tour de force by Dennis Hopper. Although Dean Stockwell belting out Roy Orbison while applying lipstick is worth the price of admission too.
Edit: I saw Eraserhead while I was in college. I honestly don't remember a lot of it but I do remember how uncomfortable watching that was.

Unbreakable was my favorite M Night film and his last good one before The Visit .
The twist that Split was in the same universe had me geeked out
-
I actually only watched unbreakable after the ending of split. I didn't love it as much as I wanted to.
-
Unbreakable was okay, but I couldn't shake the fact that the guy went to the age of 40-something without realizing he's never been sick or injured.
-
Unbreakable was okay, but I couldn't shake the fact that the guy went to the age of 40-something without realizing he's never been sick or injured.
he knew he had never been injured. he faked the injury when he saved his wife from the car accident. my qualm with that is his wife was essentially such a passive agressive bitch she made him choose between her and football. then spent half the movie saying you know i didnt want your career to end lol.
the sick something, i would imagine is something he didnt remember or pay attention to the past 5 years of his life so he asked his work. the part about asking his wife I have no idea.
I like Unbreakable because its one of Sam Jacksons better performances imo.at the very least his best of the last 15 years. Its a more subdued super hero movie. It was never a masterpiece but it was a damn good start to a series that shouldve been fleshed out more.
ill settle for later rather than never.
Seeing how Unbreakable, The Horde/Beast, and Glass intertwine after Split is very interesting

i just love the theme of a guy who knows he has an ability and does nothing with it. thats way more likely than everyone assuming theyd be badass immediately.

Watched Don't Breathe this weekend. Avoided spoilers, so figured I'd be rooting for the old man. That changed rather quickly lol.
Escalated from caper to thriller to horror rather quickly. Definitely not a complaint.
Liked, did not love the ending. I have a feeling there was a much darker original ending, or two, or three, before they chose this one.
Not sure a movie like this needed to be left open for a sequal.

I haven't watched Westworld yet. Deadwood's sets were super expensive, that's partially why the show was put on hold. The cast and sets were immense and HBO just spent huge amounts on Rome. That and the head of HBO that greenlit a lot of the successful shows had just gotten caught for perving/DUI, I forget which. It was a mix of a few things.

WHICH XXX: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE BLU-RAY SHOULD YOU BUY?
xXx Arrives in stores on May 16.
BY SETH G. MACY
The latest entry in the Triple-X franchise is coming home May 16, and just like any action movie Blu-ray release worth its salt, there's more than one way to bring xXx: Return of Xander Cage home. We've put together a list of the available options for you to peruse and choose which one's best for you ahead of release.
xXx: Return of Xander Cage Blu-ray
The Blu-ray release of xXx: Return of Xander Cage comes in a combo pack, and includes the DVD and a digital copy so you can watch it on basically any modern, internet-connected device. On top of three choices of media, you also get bonus features. Included among the bonuses are behind the scenes looks at the franchise, the cast, and the location, as well as the stunt work of Xander's return and a gag reel. Pretty great for a standard Blu-ray release.
xXx: Return of Xander Cage 4K Combo Pack
If you've ascended to the next level of television technology, this is the version for you. Not only does it include the bonus features of the Blu-ray combo pack, it also has a 4K disc, the high-def Blu-ray and a digital copy to give to your broke friend. The 4K version of the movie also has HDR for supported TV sets and players, so the action looks even cooler.
3D Blu-ray Combo Pack
Return of Xander Cage 3D Blu-ray
If you prefer to have the action a little more in-your-face, you can snag the 3D Blu-ray combo pack. There's a regular Blu-ray included, along with the digital HD download we've all come to know and love.
Best Buy Exclusive Steelbook
Best Buy has really been stepping up its game with steelbook exclusives, and the trend continues with xXx: Return of Xander Cage. If you're a steelbook collector, the only way to get your hands on it is through Best Buy. Aside from the awesome packaging, the steelbook includes the Blu-ray, DVD, and of course, digital HD versions of the movie.
Target Exclusive Blu-ray
Target is another retailer looking to get your business by offering cool exclusives, and xXx: Return of Xander Cage is no exception. The Blu-ray combo pack includes the requisite Blu-ray, DVD, and digital copies of the film, but there's an additional 30-minutes of behind-the-scenes bonus features you won't find on other versions.
Walmart Exclusive With Instawatch
Finally, Walmart has its own exclusive version of the xXx: Return of Xander Cage Blu-ray. In addition to the Blu-ray, DVD, and digital version included in the box, buying the Blu-ray online through the Walmart website lets you watch the movie instantly through VUDU while you wait for your physical copy to arrive. It's perfect for the impatient person who wants the physical media but hate waiting to watch it.
Digital Version
The Digital HD version of xXx: Return of Xander Cage comes out May 2, so you can watch the movie more than two weeks before it arrives on Blu-ray. You trade the satisfaction of owning something you can hold in your hands, but if you absolutely can't wait, there are a ton of ways to watch the movie digitally.
Amazon
VUDU
iTunes
Google Play

So... Manchester by the Sea.
Does it belong in this thread? Yes.
Perfectly acted by the entire cast, with Casey certainly hitting it out of the park. But the last hour left me waiting for something to happen.
A really well done movie, but don't expect the fog of monumental depression to go anywhere. Credits roll, and you're like really?

Passengers...
Good, but certainly not great. I enjoyed it, but mostly because I am fascinated by space exploration and staring at Jennifer Lawrence.
I think they ran out of ideas in the third act. The science was pretty solid up until then, but shark jumping ensued.

Watched Trainspotting 2 last night. Obviously not as tight as the original, but still a lot of fun to return to those characters and some great dialogue.

I know, but I was still hoping for at least something good to happen to someone. I guess he helped the kid bang the blonde.

I just watched ET for the first time in ages and...damn. Still freaking great. Won't even get into the music and John Williams.
-
Southpaw was basically Rocky 3 with better writing and actors. Very glad I finally stumbled upon it.
Watched Chappie again too. Just because.
-
Early reviews for Megan Leavey are pretty positive, but judging by the trailer it appears to be in a large part about a dog in wartime, and be a true story. Not sure I dare risk it.

It Comes at Night is getting great reviews.
This will be one of the best years for horror in a long time.

It looks like a Snatch type of film, I am in.

It Comes at Night was good, not great. It is definitely being mismarketed as a horror film because that's definitely not what it is or what it tries to be.
Recommend it as a Netflix or Redbox rental.

In the Heart of the Sea
As a kid I loved going to Nantucket. I have always been curious about whaling. I am a big fan of old wooden ships. And Melville was one of the only authors I actually read and enjoyed for required reading in high school.
If any of that hits a nerve, watch this movie.
4 out of 5 stars.

The Accountant was solid as well. It's like John Wick with more Aspergers.

It's basically another Lincoln. Who wants to watch a movie about politicians bickering over excrement? It's probably just 120 minutes of Oldman looking grim and spouting cliched lines.

His movies suck but Sandler is still the man in my book because his movies have basically just been excuses to have a paid vacation with his friends for at least the last 10 years. Making money doing stupid excrement with your friends is the dream.

I didn't get the David as Ozymandias flashback. I'm pretty sure that it was the most important reference in the movie, but I don't get it.

Don't remember what the buzz was here, and I am far too lazy to check, but Nocturnal Creatures was really good.
I'm a fan of both the leads, so that didn't hurt, but from concept up to and certainly including the ending, I was impressed.
Any movie that has me thinking, that was good, but I know I'm missing something, a half hour later is OK in my book.
Spoiler
Did Jake's character off himself after the last text just to torture her forever? The end of the book would imply he's dead. Or was he just telling her I've suffered for over a decade, and you, my baby you aborted, and the man I was, are dead?
Might have to watch it again. General Zod was unsurprisingly great in a supporting roll.

It Comes at Night was good, not great. It is definitely being mismarketed as a horror film because that's definitely not what it is or what it tries to be.

The trailer may as well have been from a different movie.

Lol, it is absolutely terrible.
There were computer printed windows taped to a brick wall. A totally absurd rooftop setting that was obviously fake. The mother character was absurd and kept talking about money, a woman's place in life and money. They tossed a football like 2 feet from each other underhanded. Characters were brought in willy nilly with no explanation. Characters left without being explained. The dialogue was freaking absurd. I won't even go into the sex scenes.
We laughed a lot. That's it.

Movies watched so far:
Baby Driver - excellent. South American women aren't generally my thing but I would crawl over broken glass to drink Eliza Gonzalez's bath water.
Kingsman: The Secret Service - seen it before and loved it but wanted to introduce Mrs English to it. Suffice to say I will be watching the sequel on my own. Too violent for her.
Wind River - outstanding.
Next up is Logan Lucky.

The Kingsmen was a helluva lot of fun, I really was surprised I enjoyed it so much. I liked Baby Driver, I didn't love it. The hype for it probably made my expectations too high.

Yep, DiCaprio and Pitt have officially signed up for Quentin Tarantino’s next film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
As the title suggests, the story takes place in Los Angeles, where characters Rick Dalton (DiCaprio), a former Western TV series actor, and Cliff Booth (Pitt), his former stunt double, struggle to wrap their heads around an industry heavily impacted by the hippie culture of 1969. Despite the shifting morals and values of ’60s-era Hollywood, one of the few figures the duo does recognize is Rick’s next-door neighbor—Sharon Tate.
Though little else has been revealed about the plot, it’s safe to say the film will touch on Tate’s infamous August 9, 1969, murder at the hands of Charles Manson’s followers. After all, the film is set to be released on August 9, 2019.
Tarantino has worked with both DiCaprio and Pitt on his films Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds, respectively, and we can’t wait to see what this trifecta brings to the silver screen.

Awesome news. I hated the Sam Mendes movies, hopefully Boyle can get the franchise back on track.

Stand By Me for the first time in ages. There will never be another movie like that made again. Ever. Perfect in every way.

At the risk of a shitty reaction to it, I'm going to post this anyway.
Love, Simon was a good movie, and I felt like it was a really important story to tell. My wife is into a lot of YA stuff, so I see a lot of these book-to-screen movies. I wasn't particularly enthusiastic to see this one but as a father, it really hit me in all the feels.

I've seen that trailer so many times and it looks really good. I'm a complete bitch when it comes to horror movies though. My wife loves them, I walk out of the room whenever she puts one on.

Hahaha, I freely admit I'm a complete coward when it comes to horror movies. Haunted houses too.
But I'll ride any roller coaster on the planet. My wife is the complete opposite. She'll watch horror movies, go through haunted houses, but she won't even go on water slides.

Statistically water slides are the most dangerous out of all those things.

Hereditary had one of the most shocking scenes I've ever seen.
The audience in my showing was pretty annoying at first...laughing at some scenes that weren't meant to be funny. That's usually how it goes with horror in theaters these days. I think a lot of moviegoers that come to horror films try to make things funny because they're afraid of what's to come.
When this particular scene happened, everyone shut the hell up and it was completely still and quiet for the rest of the movie. It floored everyone. A few people got up and left.
This is psychological horror at its finest. It really plays with the audience's emotions with cinematography and its score. Don't go into this one expecting your typical summer jump-scare horror movie. This is truly a fucked up, hard to watch movie.
This is Ari Aster's first film. He should become one of the better horror directors right away.

I’ve seen this movie get compared to Rosemary’s Baby which is about as high of praise I think a movie of this sort can get so my interest is definitely piqued here.

Ok I’m in. I’m a big fan of all 3 of those movies. Pretty happy to say, maybe that whole “jump scare” (since The Ring I guess) era of horror/drama is done. Didn’t really do a whole lot for me.

Hereditary definitely has some jump scares, but they're earned. There's some truly disturbing violence in this as well.
I was reading about its test screenings this morning and apparently the studio made Aster edit out a particular scene that is heavily implied through imagery. I think that scene would've sent people over the edge, so hopefully it's part of the director's cut.

Ok. So we saw it tonight. I don’t want to put in any spoilers but this gets a solid 7-out-of-10 for me. There was definitely some scary excrement in the movie but nothing that shocked me. The scene you mentioned I thought was the scariest just because of its suddenness. I can’t give it more than a 7 though because he just borrows a little too much from the classics. It’s not necessarily a knock just that it’s almost like a homage to me. The cinematography and the score were awesome, very Shining-ish. The ending was a dead takeaway from another movie (not gonna say which one because it’ll blow it for those that haven’t seen it) but you can guess which movie I’m alluding to.
I will say one thing, now that I’ve read about the movie, I see a lot of people shitting on the ending. I liked it. That was the one twist, I really didn’t see coming. Again, borrowed really heavily from another movie but I thought it was good. Plus, Toni Collette was fantastic. Her facial contortions were kinda crazy.

I wasn't as bothered by that stuff because at least he modeled it after the greats. A24 has sort of revitalized modern horror over the past few years and I love them for it.
A lot of the horror homage stuff is very intentional, which is kinda cool reading back on it. Aster used red doorknobs in the house because of the basement in The Sixth Sense.
His next film sounds like it will be a doozy too.

I really thought Alex Wolff (Peter) did an awesome job in this, especially during the possession takeover in the classroom.
The track used during the final scene is amazing. The ending made perfect sense - it's what they were planning the entire film.
Toni Collette will hopefully get nominated for an Oscar and win it for this.
Spoilers:
The true twist was Charlie getting killed so early in the film, especially if you had watched any of the trailers where she is portrayed as the main character.
That entire part of the film was perfect. The score, the acting by Wolff, and Collette's reaction when she walks out to the car the next morning...god damn.
-
I guess if we’re going the spoiler route:
i liked the ending because I really didn’t see it coming. I figured he was the ultimate sacrifice, not their savior. I agree too with the score. It’s a happy ending for the cult. Made it a little more creepy imo. It was Rosemary’s Baby to a tee. Even down to the chanting.
The one thing I want to stress is that even though he did borrow a lot, like you said, he borrowed a lot from some of my favorite movies. The score was fantastic as was the cinematography was amazing. Very Kubrickesque but if you’re gonna borrow that’s a pretty good guy to follow. When Collette walks into that hallway upside-down that’s some crazy foreshadowing.
I did think a lot of what happened was fairly predictable. But, that head hitting the pole and the few minutes afterward were nuts. I’m happy I saw this in a theatre for sure.
All in all, I’d say it was better than The VVitch which I’d say is pretty high praise. The suspense and build-ups were tense. Theatre was dead silent the entire movie.
-
I'm scared like I can't tell you. Of all people, you're standing right over there... by that counter. You're in both dreams and you're scared too. I get even more frightened when I see how afraid you are and then I realize what it is. There's a man... in back of this place. He's the one who's doing it. I can see him through the wall. I can see his face. I hope that I never see that face, ever, outside of a dream.

That Killers of the Flower Moon movie is now officially happening, as director Martin Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio have firmed up the adaptation as their next project. The duo have been attached to an adaptation of author David Grann’s book for quite some time, with DiCaprio’s involvement dating back to 2016 when J.J. Abrams was circling the director’s chair. The true-crime thriller takes place in the 1920s and recounts how a string of murders of members of the Osage nation in Oklahoma over oil arose as one of the FBI’s first major homicide investigations.

Spiderverse was a lot more dramatic than I expected.
I'm not surprised about Aquaman (which I haven't seen yet). Even if it's a "good" DC movie, people aren't going to like it. Hell, I think the vast majority of the positive talk regarding Wonder Woman was people who didn't want to disparage a female director and lead.
I personally like the DC movies, but I go into them with completely different expectations and wants from them than the general movie-going public.

My dad really wanted to watch the new jumanji yesterday. I thought it was going to be hot trash. It was actually pretty funny. The rock playing an insecure dweeb and jack Black playing a girl were great.

And...just watched (finally) Dario Argento’s Suspiria. It was good, a little gory, but I’ve seen better. It really wasn’t that surprising and the ending, to me at least, was a little underwhelming. Still, not bad. Happy I can finally cross it off the list.
Frankly though, I was gonna watch Eighth Grade originally, and I kinda wish I did. Definitely enjoyed Mid90s though. All these idiots are comparing it to Kids and other than skateboarding, I don’t really see an honest comparison there. It’s not supposed to be Kids

One Cut Of The Dead is weird and funny and possibly brilliant but I still can't quite make up my mind. It's definitely the sort of movie that only the Japanese could make, I don't really know how to describe it other than as a very meta Asian zombie comedy. I suggest not reading anything about it before you watch.
BlacKkKlansman was a little patchy at points and despite being based on a true story I couldn't help being immensely annoyed by the idiocy of two people playing one character, but it was still pretty powerful and good to see Spike Lee back to form. Denzel's boy is a decent actor.

Watched Audition tonight as it's a long time since I last saw it and was moderately drunk when I did. I had forgotten, or not realised at the time, just how nasty and unsettling it is.

Triple Frontier on Netflix was entertaining and not quite as dumb as I expected it to be.

See You Yesterday is on Netflix, it's a directorial debut from a guy called Stefon Bristol. It's produced by Spike Lee and it has his fingerprints all over it, it's like Spike Lee meets Steven Spielberg and in a really good way. Highly recommend.

Finally watched Lynne Ramsay's "We Need To Talk About Kevin" after months of it being on my Prime watchlist.
Pretty great film, with heartbreaking, devastating final conversation (no spoilers).
I admit, I did like her Amazon Prime followup, "You Were Never Really Here" better (I've already watched it 3 times). Ramsay is a phenomenal filmmaker, esp in the way she uses music and dream-like visuals to tell story.
If you're extraordinarily wealthy like me and have a Prime membership, and you're ever in too cheerful of a mood, I recommend both movies as a double feature.
(eta: I still haven't seen Morvern Callar, which I've heard is excellent. Also, to be clear, "YWNRH" is one of my favorite movies of like past 5 years. Go watch it.)
-
That’s a great movie that I will never watch again
-

Agreed, haha. It's pretty traumatic and doesn't give off many positive vibes.
Although, again, that final scene is masterful. It really stuck with me. Ezra Miller and Swinton were incredible throughout.

I wish there had been a Master and Commander franchise instead of a Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Booksmart was hilarious.
It reminded me a lot of Can’t Hardly Wait and Superbad.

JLH is a smokeshow in Can't Hardly Wait....solid flick.

I'm putting John Wick 3: Parabellum in this thread because it belongs here. Another solid entry in the franchise. Zero was great.
-
Overlord is an almost perfect movie. Knows exactly what it wants to do and executes it perfectly. No complex storyline or unexpected twists or important message, just a really well made action horror movie with tight script, lots of fun moments and a excrement ton of convincingly real gore.
-
I watched Tag earlier, it was actually really good. I laughed pretty hard a few times and the soundtrack was awesome. The concept seemed a little contrived even though it’s based on a real story, but they pulled it off. Nice chemistry between the actors, I thought.
-
looking forward to the fall. IT Chapter 2 and Dr.Sleep will be released.

Interested to see how this is received, because if Ari Aster hits another home run, we're in for some excellent horror for a while.
Robert Eggers' followup to The Witch (The Lighthouse) has all kinds of hype.
I'm not sure if I'm more excited for The Lighthouse or Midsommar.

This older lady behind us thought DiCaprio and Pitt's characters were real people and kept saying “I don’t remember this happening” and was super confused by the ending as I guess she thought this was supposed to be factually accurate...?
I liked it a lot, but I feel like anything Tarantino does will get tons of hype and unjust overly positive reactions.

Specific problems I had with Hereditary:
-The coven of old people who hang out across the street from the school and wave/scream things felt completely ineffective.
-None of the characters were relatable; their suffering didn't translate into anything for me to feel. Toni Collette is a miniature artist who has deadlines she that she ignores. Gabrielle Byrne is...there.
-The family's suffering was completely contained to themselves so nothing for me to relate to as something that can effect the world overall.
-"You are Paimon!" Explanation came at the very end. Yeah the sigil was all over the place but it is so obscure that it would not register with 99% of people since archaic demonology is nor the most prevalent piece of leisure study. Just because something is obscure doesn't make it a good reference.
-The camera was focused on solely on Peter's big dumb face at thw ending so the big reveal essentially told through a voice-over at the end. I. freaking. Hate. Voice-overs.
-Toni Colette sawing her head off with piano wire at the end was just weird, not scary or entertaining.
-Her headless body just floating into Charli's tree house looked bad.
-My entire mindset throughout the movie was, "Ugh, what next?" It never evoked any actual feeling of dread for anyone on screen.
-The major plot points are too easy to miss. The whole bit about Gabriel Byrne getting the call that the grandmother's grace was desecrated was so low volume that it flew right past me the first time that I watched it which made him reviewing the email from the insurance adjusters seem bizarre; for what we have to pay for movie tickets I shouldn't have to rewatch a film 2 or 3 times to get the subplot clues that your supporting actor mumbles into a phone and quickly drops two seconds later, Ari Aster, you pretentious queynte.
-Gabriel Byrne was bad. Just really bad. I'd say he was phoning it in but I don't think he bothered to actually pick up a phone.
On the other hand, Brightburn was awesome and I really hope they keep producing the universe because a negative Justice League seems like a.great idea.

Meh, I outright disagree with most of this and the parts I do agree with (floating body) are total non issues.

One thing I'll say is that a major part of how I viewed the movie was as a father and it general that makes "what if something bad happens?" a way more impactful theme to me. The scene with the car accident was absolutely heart rending and I was more susceptible to everything after that.

Everything up to, including and just after the accident was brilliantly made. It was the last 15 minutes where they suddenly went "oh excrement, this was supposed to be a supernatural horror movie - quick, chuck some burny flying scary bits in and give it a bit of scary expository narrative and we're good" that ruined the whole thing. It went from slow, atmospheric and dark to pastiche.
-
The accident and the family arguing at the dinner table were probably the best scenes to me. Aside from that I really could not care.
It was like there was a better story there that was being ignored just so they could make a horror movie instead.
Also what JE said about rushing the supernatural part.
-
I loved Hereditary, and concur that it's easily one of the best horror movies of the past 10+ years for me (along with The Conjuring). I'm a huge horror fan and I was very impressed with it.
I totally get JE's main gripe with it re:the final few minutes of seemingly-rushed supernatural wackiness. I often like it, though, when a movie goes off the rails in such an insane manner (I also really liked Mother! for that, in a different-yet-kinda-similar way).
(btw for anyone else into horror movies that go batshit off-the-rails, I recommend the low budget The Void)
-
Considering Hereditary was more than 2 hours long I didn’t have a huge problem with the ending. Don’t bother with Midsømmer if you don’t like a slow burn into a crazy ending.
That ending from Hereditary was written all over the wall as far as I was concerned. It was more than implied something supernatural was at work the entire time. The car accident was no accident. Collette’s character didn’t just become possessed. The way Byrne’s character was killed lent to the ending.
The movie was a compete homage to Rosemary’s Baby. Maybe a little Shining thrown in but Aster is definitely a Polanski fan.

I liked it. I was pretty lost for most of the movie but it all came together in the end for me. The payoff was worth everything. I finally understood Tarantino’s vision at the end of the movie and thought it was a very cool concept. My favorite part may have been Leo’s margarita pitcher fueled tirade as the catalyst for the climax.

For real, though, go see Good Time. It never lets up and thrusts you into the most stressful night of a dude's life. Acting, editing, directing are incredible.

What a sly, brilliant screenplay and why it's nominated for both Best Film and Best International Feature Film is beyond me. Imagine if it won Best Film but not Best 'International' film. Hollywood will probably wimp out and give it a token 'best foreign film' award.

Best Picture is based on the nominations of the voting members of the Academy, of which there are several thousand. Best International Feature Film candidates are nominated by their respective countries' version of the Academy - each country gets to put one movie a year forward, hence why you never see a country represented more than once in the same year. It's highly unlikely that a movie would win Best Picture but not BIFF given the voters are the same; Best Picture has the whole field to go at, while BIFF only has the international nominees. Winning Best Picture but not BIFF despite being nominated for it would be like winning the Super Bowl despite not having won the Conference Final.

Not really that different than an animated film up for Best Picture and Best Animated.

Martin Scorsese‘s two favorite leading men are finally coming together in one of his films.
Onstage at the 2020 SAG Awards to present the Life Achievement Award to Robert De Niro, Leonardo DiCaprio announced that he and The Irishman actor will both be starring in Scorsese’s next project, Killers of the Flower Moon. The casting had been rumored earlier, but this was the first time someone involved with the movie officially confirmed it.
Based on David Grann’s best-selling 2017 nonfiction book, Killers of the Flower Moon tell the story of the 1920s Osage murders, when several Native Americans of the Osage Nation were killed after oil deposits were discovered beneath their Oklahoma land. The murders lead the then-newly formed FBI to the state to investigate. Scorsese’s film is scheduled to begin shooting in Oklahoma this spring, with a screenplay by Eric Roth (A Star Is Born, Forrest Gump).
Let’s gooooo, this excrement has been a “future project” on IMDB for like 5 years now

Finally saw Knives Out. Here are my takes:
-Daniel Craig with a southern American accent = great movie.
-Anna de Armas will always look sexy regardless of her character's wardrobe (also she can act the hell out of any role).
-I forgot Chris Evans was good when he's not Captain America.

Saw 1917 on Saturday. Absolutely LOVED it. The entire movie was one big suspenseful ride until the end.
Tommen Baratheon was actually really good in his role.
I got to choose the movie last week so now I'm stuck taking the wife to see Bad Boys 3 on Saturday. She loves that franchise, I could care less. I was a much bigger fan of Martin Lawrence in Life with Eddie Murphy (awesomely underrated movie) as opposed to Mike Lowery.

We'll see. I had no expectations for either and really enjoyed 1917 so hopefully I enjoy BB3. I'm just happy enough to enjoy a little Saturday matinee with the wife, but more gritty war movies please.
WW1 especially is a war that cinema hasn't paid a lot of attention to in a very long time.

I've seen 1917, it was really good.
I don't need to see Bad Boys 3 to know it's a POS...because Bad Boys 1 was a POS. Obviously, that's just MY opinion. Plus i'm biased because Will Smith is one of the worst actors in Hollywood.

I Am Legend was supposed to be the vehicle to showcase how good of an actor Will Smith was. Not so much.
BB 1 and 2 for me were ok. I wouldn't go out of my way to see them again, and I wouldn't go out of my way to watch 3 except that my wife absolutely loves the series (2 is one of her favorite movies).
I get it. I like the Rush Hour series more than your common person, some people just latch onto franchises for reasons.

Didnt see pryce
DiCaprio is a far arguement
But Joaquin? C'mon man. Phoenix was such a believable psychopath that evolved through the movie. Sandler was really good, but he just played an older dialed up version of himself.
I also felt really uncomfortable during the scene where hes crying with his sidepiece. My girlfriend and I weren't sure if we were supposed to be sad or laugh at the way Sandler was crying

Finally watched Parasite.
Holy excrement. Watch this ASAP people. Think the only reason I waited this long was because I was put off by the subtitles. Did not detract from my enjoyment at all and was one of the best cinematic experiences you can ask for. I knew it was gonna twist but it got me at every single turn. Bravo.
-
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AvO8-925Edc
Cool breakdown of the cinematography

I keep thinking about the brilliance of that stuck door scene in Uncut Gems. There's so much tension because of what's at stake and how visibly close Howard is to his goal that I was on the edge of my seat because of nothing but a jammed door. And yet it's a completely hilarious slapstick sequence.
But the genius of it is that here's this scene that is so tense and so silly that you can't even really process that the Safdie's have blatantly shown you the Chekhov's Gun (err.. knife, nail file, whatever) that will resolve the plot. You know the Gun is there but you don't know it's the Gun until the moment it's fired. That's masterful storytelling.
-
You compare that with Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, which I like less and less the more I think about it:
Look, here's Rick Dalton using a flamethrower in a movie!
Look, here's Rick Dalton training with a flamethrower!
Look, there's the flamethrower in Rick Dalton's tool shed!
SURPRISE, the flamethrower resolves the plot! BET YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING!
-
The Safdie's rule. I was really hoping they'd get a chance to remake 48 Hours. Sounds like that isn't going to happen now.
Whatever they do next, I'm 100% here for it.

Of course Vince Vaughn on the other hand should be canceled because HE SHOOK HANDS WITH BROLAND SRAMPF THE FASCIST!!!!
Anyway, FWIW, I might be the only person in the universe who actually like Joaquin's speech. We treat cattle incredibly inhumanely. We've learned despite being brought up on the nutritional value of milk that its actually pretty freaking terrible for the human body. Bonus points for calling out just the absolute abhorrent "cancel culture" we find ourselves in (one that threatened the movie he won his Oscar for, for absolutely no good goddamn reason).
I have problems with some of these bougie bitches like Leo hypocritically screaming about climate change while flying in their private jets around the globe. But considering by all accounts Joaquin lives by what he preaches and had the platform, have at it.

Building on this point, I found Christina Aguilera's image re-haul (or as the kids call it now, "code-switching") around the time Dirty came out to be completely absurd and off-putting.
She also has an absolutely amazing voice even if I find most of her stuff to be shlock.

American Animals is one of the most underrated crime movies I've ever seen. An unbelievable true crime story about a group of college students that plan a heist.

Low Tide was another good one that I stumbled across on Amazon Prime. Whoever directed it is going to be a star when someone gives him a bigger budget.

"In an intriguing change to the source material, Villeneuve has also updated Dr. Liet Kynes, the leading ecologist on Arrakis and an independent power broker amid the various warring factions. Although always depicted as a white man, the character is now played by Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Rogue One), a black woman."

Sorry To Bother You is absolutely terrific. Loved that movie.
Martyrs isn't worse than Antichrist. It's also not as good.

from the beginning of the movie it was obvious the girl was going through some clingyness/insecurity issues. there is nothing wrong with a girl not wanted to have much sex in a relationship. there is also nothing wrong with a guy wanting to have sex in a relationship. if there is that much of an impasse, the relationship should be ended, and that's what he planned to do.
then her family died, which is an obvious tragedy. what would any normal person do? pile on to that by actually breaking up with the girl? no, he had no choice there, he couldn't do that. he ended up trying to be a support for her during that time and include her in things to try to get her out of her funk to the point where he invited her to a european summer trip to the dismay of all of his actual friends. the only one that had no issues was the one that wanted to bring more outside genetics to his community to fck. he still put her above himself and all of his friends
christian is a really shitty human, but he actually sacrifices a lot to try and help her/be there for her during a trying time. i understand the metaphor of going through a bad breakup and the hurricane of emotions one may feel during that time, but i don't think her choosing to burn him alive just because he was drugged up and had sex with a girl, especially with her knowing that was very important to him and she wouldn't budge, was very fair considering what he had been trying to do for her before that time. it's ridiculous and it's kind of fcked up
i also do not find any irony in the fact that the acceptance from a fcked up cult was enabling for her and was what ultimately ended up making her happy and accepted lmao
there was also the part where the very next scene after we see two old people sacrifice themselves in a ritual suicide was 'bro you're stealing my major bro?'. what
the movie was beautifully shot and i love how the director was still able to create a creepy/horror type atmosphere in a film that was pretty much shot entirely in bright daylight. i found the artwork adorning the walls and structures of the community somewhat creatively creepy and funny at the same time. with that said, i just felt that there were some downright goofy, petulant, and nonsensical plot elements within the movie itself that i couldn't get over

TL; DR The May Queen did nothing wrong
spoilers
i'm sorry, but she is wrong. we get it, cheating sucks, but still. choosing to comply and burn anybody alive in that situation is wrong and fcked up. choosing to burn your boyfriend alive over a willing volunteer from that fcked up community, simply because you caught your boyfriend fcking somebody else after being continually drugged and given inhaled viagra, is straight up evil.
she was just as guilty as he was in attempting to maintain that broken relationship, but she thinks she can do anything and it's okay because her family died. that's the problem with b.tches these days. just break up with him, get over it, and make an only fans bro

She didn’t burn him alive just because he cheated on her
He didn’t give a excrement about her or how she felt about anything
I would subscribe to a Florence Pugh only fans - can’t believe she’s banging Zach Braff

The one everyone knows is Oldboy which is dark and brilliant (and ignore the Spike Lee remake), but it's the middle of three. You don't have to watch them in order though and Oldboy is the best, so start there.

Browsed through some discussions on it, it seems like some people felt it was too stereotypical, but I felt it differed enough from other zombie movies and actually made me care about the characters.
Plus, there are only a few actually good zombies anyway IMO. Most of them are trash.
My selections:
Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead remake, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, and Train to Busan

Really liked The King on Netflix. I'm not sure I believe Timothee Chalamet as a badass warrior but he pulls off the Big Speech quite nicely. Sean Harris (bad guy from the last two Mission Impossibles) was in it and he has this weird speech cadence that was just awesome and fascinating.
Kicked off a jolly ol' England binge. Wolf Hall again now. Maybe A Man for All Seasons after.

You won't like it. You had to have enjoyed it when it came out in the 80s. It's not about being a masterpiece, it's about the memories that go along with it. Nostalgia and such.
Same way I think of Police Academy and Revenge of the Nerds. They aren't Academy Award winners, just movies I Ioved as a kid and they still make me chuckle. Any kid watching it now would think it's stupid because they can't related to anything in the movie because it's dated.

I think it’s actually held up well. It’s a little more intelligent than other 80s movies and Val Kilmer is perfect in that role.

My inspiration behind watching Monster Squad today:
I occasionally check the news to see if any of my former players have been involved in any crime. This morning, I checked and our ball boy (he was our QB's little brother) was arrested for possession of a controlled aubstance...along with our former starting running backs and star receiver.
He went by Lil Zy at the time. He was in middle school when I was there, so I never really interacted with him much.
Found out through his mugshot his real name is: Zynardious
HE KICKED HIM IN THE NARDS!

People conflate the art with the artist. I seem to recall a bunch of people shitting on DTRT on here (or maybe YDKF) but maybe that was just Tommy talking to himself.
I'll probably watch Da 5 Bloods tonight.

Da 5 bloods was far from perfect but god damn was that a powerful movie. Lee used an average plot to tie together a number of important themes and issues in our country, and I guess, the world for that matter.
Anyone that has ever argued with someone over politics should watch it.

The guy above has been editing the movies together in chronological order with deleted scenes for the past 5+ years, and makes it available to everyone.
That guys getting credit for jack excrement.
If you're a marvel fan I highly recommend giving the chronological order a go. I personally love the editing for IM2, Hulk, and, thor as they all technically happened at the same time, and weaving the stories together with Coulson as the tie in is quite nice, especially prior to his death.

I have not. I'm trying to remember the movie that had a bunch of rich assholes all sitting down at dinner when a gang of masked people lay siege to it. The daughter and her new boyfriend, or son and new girlfriend - I forget which - were central to it. That was the last good siege movie I remember. (Unless you count Us but I think that's a bit more than just a siege horror.)

I wasn't a big Hush fan, but I don't really remember why.
I loved the Collector. EDIT: DON’T BREATH was one of the movies that would always be playing on the ship either during dinner or after I got off of watch so I've seen probably 85% of it, just not in order.

Hush is probably my favorite of the ones mentioned thus far. Better Watch Out and Intruders were both decent too.

Hush has to be watched at home in a quiet, dark room to get the full effect.

Original's fine. The episodic version added about 40 minutes of opening/closing credits and eight minutes of actual film.
All Tarantino movies post-Menke (after IB) are too long IMO. He needs an editor who will tell him "this is getting cut."

I will always recommended American Animals because it's brilliant and I feel like no one has watched it.
nice guys is really good, i've been able to watch it a few times and it has good re-watch value
i watched american animals and thought it was pretty good. the real life story itself about why the kids did it in the first place was kind of bonkers/stupid. however the one thing i could not get over was how ugly the 'artist' was in the movie. genuinely one of the ugliest people i've ever seen on the screen. he just has a sick/gauntly look at baseline. it was probably poor facial hair but it looked like he had a stain of excrement on his chin the entire movie

Coincidentally, Nia DeCosta has been tapped to do the Captain Marvel sequel which will mark the first time I knew I didn't want to see a Nia DeCosta project.

I was so torn on the previous movie; bits of it were genuinely hilarious (the naked hotel chase, the meeting with the feminist group), but others I found quite needlessly offensive (dinner in the antebellum house). It's good to make people look ridiculous when they set themselves up for it, but taking advantage of someone's hospitality for the very cheapest of laughs annoyed me.

so i just watched the lost boys last week for the first time, and thought it was awesome
question for you older heads --> that concert scene in the beginning, was that what the 80s was like growing up? concerts on the beach with a bunch of people dressed in colorful, flamboyant 80s garb with raven-haired beauties just floating around and catching your attention, all the while the crowd is just jamming to music played by shirtless dudes on stage riffing on the saxophone?
if so it seems like tons of fun, and kind of makes me wish i grew up during that era. i'll always be appreciative of having my early developmental years as a kid in NY in the 90s, but i also think that if i was born earlier and experienced the 80s, the 90s would have still been a ton of fun and offered a lot to adults at that time

Yes, it was exactly like that. Also if you hooked up a Barbie doll to your 386 and a phone line you used to be able to create pneumatic women in hot pants, but that was only at weekends. During the week we just stole our friends' dads' Ferraris and went to street parades.

All of these are great but Yojimbo is one of my favorite all time movies because A Fistful of Dollars is also one of my favorite movies.
One of my favorite facts is that Kurosawa sued Sergio Leone, saying that Fistful infringed on Yojimbo because it was an uncredited shot-for-shot remake (it was), and wound up making more money off of the Fistful royalties than the Yojimbo royalties.
You also have Hidden fortress to thank/blame for most of A New Hope’s plot and the thieves specifically were the inspiration for R2D2 and C3PO’s relationship.

Hoo boy, do I have problems with this movie. Must of it has to do with the science fiction mechanics, which I won't go into because spoilers. But that's pretty much par for the course with Nolan - he comes up with these brilliant science fiction premises that just don't hold all the water they should.
I'm more surprised by the wooden acting and odd scene transitions. John David Washington is so flat throughout, it's like someone slapped a beard on a mannequin of Denzel. I'm wondering if they needed to forego re-shoots because of covid.

Right! Their portrayal of time dilation was spot on. But I doubt Kip had much input on the love-powered black hole bookcase time travel.
I still love the movie, but holy excrement.

Similar issues with The Prestige, which is his worst movie. TA DA, Christian Bales! Dude who gives a freak, this other guy's been cloning himself and committing suicide via drowning (why?!) every night, nobody gives a excrement about your magic trick.

I really like Nolan, but despite recalling that I liked Interstellar when I saw it I can remember absolutely nothing about it and am completely uninterested in seeing it again, unlike pretty much every other one of his movies.

That’s why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call “The Prestige”, where we reveal that magic is in fact real and this whole movie is dumb.

Hoo boy, do I have problems with this movie.

Dear Zachary is one of my favorite films that I will never watch ever again.

It’s much more about Andrew (Zachary’s father) and Zachary than it is about her.
As a tribute piece it’s one of the most beautiful works I’ve seen and if it didn’t end the way it does I’d probably be able to watch it again.

Very disappointed that Oldboy and Train To Busan didn't make that list. Unless you're talking about the Spike Lee remake of the former, in which case the biggest mistake was watching it in the first place.

I enjoyed it and thought it was well made but it's probably not a rewatch candidate for me. Most things aren't.
Usually if I'm rewatching something it's because it's an easy "roller coaster" fun movie, or because something was so good I had to show it to someone else.

Love and Monsters was fun. It's got that YA post-apocalypse book vibe and you pretty much know how the story will play out after the first ten minutes, but all the beats are very well-executed and the lead does a good job carrying the movie. Creature design was pretty neat, too.

Kubrick was known for doing tens to hundreds of takes for just about any scene. I think about that every time a rape scene comes up or the body guard has to carry Mr. Alexander up/down the stairs.

It’s also important to note that casting older actors in the main roles sands off some of the prickly, depressing edges of this story. O’Neal was only about 17 when he was recruited by the FBI, and 20 when his actions led to the murder of 21-year-old Hampton; Stanfield and Kaluuya are 29 and 31, respectively. How much more impactful could the film be if the actors were closer to the ages of the men they’re playing, allowing the utter tragedy of this dynamic to shine through?

Dune torrents have dropped.

Telling people that if they didn't read that book that they won't like it is pretty shitty. Let them see it and decide for themselves.

I haven't read a book for fun in a very long time, still ride or die for this movie.
-
I read this years ago and recently finished the audiobook. I am hyped for this movie.
-
I've never read the book and don't really understand the hype about it or this movie, but I'll give it a watch because I generally like big overblown space operas. I watched the previous film but the only thing I remember about it was a fat bloke flying around in a spacesuit and drinking another fella's blood while Sting sat and laughed.

I read the first three books as a teenager and remember really liking it. I wonder if it's nostalgia or if it holds up.

LOL fine, but I think you get my point. It was a horror whodunnit comedy without any real scares, or suspense, or any reason to care who the werewolf was or be surprised when you found out.
There are much worse ways to pass 90 minutes, but it wasn't great. It was fun enough.

This is a good read. Years since I watched the movie but I still vividly remember the scene with the hooker.

Watched the new Bond movie last night. It was very well made but [spoiler]I'm ticked off with a new director coming in and immediately introducing such finality - they've basically killed off everything to do with James Bond and made it so that the movie franchise is now about 007. I understand why they have done this, so that Craig's replacement can be someone other than a white middle aged man (hence the whining about wokeness), but it means that with him dies so much else - no more Felix, no more Bond girls, no more tropes about martinis and Aston Martins and Moneypenny. They've basically decided to reinvent the series as a generic spy thriller and abandon everything that we've ever known and loved about it.

I didn't get that at all from this movie. They are going to resetting anyway. Just because for this movie 007 was played by a girl doesn't mean that this will continue next series. There is no way in hell she is the next 007 character.

Yes, but [spoiler]they can't reset the way they normally do because James Bond is now dead. There is no next Bond movie unless they either make historical ones or do the most ridiculous Hollywood style resurrection, they can only make 007 movies and that's not what the series is about. It's supposed to be about James Bond. I don't care if the next Bond is black or female, but I do want them to be Bond and now they can't be.

How so? I'm not complaining about it being "woke", I've no problem if the next Bond is a black transgender refugee. My issue is that [spoiler]James Bond is dead. There is no more James Bond. I hear the argument that every instance of Bond is their own timeline and so we can reset, but that timeline has always been completely open ended because James Bond has never died. They have never needed to kill Bond in order to switch actors, and they didn't need to this time. It feels like a vanity project for Craig and to a lesser extent Fukunaga, that they needed to go somewhere no one else has with the franchise. There's an unnecessary and IMO hugely damaging finality to what they did, and it's more of a shame because they'd just shaken off the shackles of the worst Bond director in the history of the franchise.

Three thoughts:
1. The "he's not the original James Bond" theory has been a fan favorite since well before Craig was cast so I'm not sure why you're bringing this up now as if it's a new idea.
2. Craig was a reboot Bond so the rules already weren't the same as the last seven actors.
3. They've already killed off M so you should have realized that main characters are fair game two movies ago.
This could be great or it could be terrible. I'd like to see what the filmmakers do with it before I start pissing my pants over it.

do we know for certain that future bond projects will operate with a new 007 based off of this timeline, with bond dead?
what if they killed off bond to end craig's version of bond, and come back with a new 'bond', be it whatever sex/gender/color that may be, during the next iteration of the series with a new actor.......as has been done over and over?

The credits end with the standard "James Bond Will Return." They're going to reboot.
IMO, they should reboot it as a period piece - half Tinker Tailor, half Man from UNCLE. I don't really know where else they could go that would make the series compelling. Between the Fast and Furious franchise, the Mission Impossible franchise, and the Bourne franchise (and gender-swapping imitations of the Bourne model like Atomic Blonde, Haywire, etc.), a lot of potential avenues for 007 are already crowded.
"What if James Bond, but black/female/gay/whatever?" would be the laziest option.

I think the gimmick (if you want to call it that) for the Craig series was "What if James Bond had an actual character arc?" and I'd say it worked well, overall. Don't really know where they can go now though.

Counterpoint: make a different movie if you want to do that. 009, Kingsmen or something else, Idc, I probably will have very little interest. Making 007 a different character is just as lazy in its own way, and gimmicky at that. If that’s the route they go, the new series is going to rely heavily on that crutch instead of making the story at all interesting.
As JE said, I’ll watch the movie because I like the James Bond character, not for any other reasons.

They're clearly not going to rename him since the whole series exists to have someone with that name kill people and smash. So either the next iteration will be another reboot in which case they're just going with the same type of actor over or they're going to give someone else the James Bond name and let that carry over like the most popular fan theory has said has been happening for a while.
I've seen multiple people state how casting someone other than a white male actor would be the lazy option yet none of them actually explain it. If the Bond identity is now up for grabs for the next agent getting promoted in MI6 then laziest route would be "we had to get someone who looked like the last guy and by that we mean skin color." Not sure how picking someone else would be "gimmicky". That's actually a pretty regressive thought.

I don't have a problem with James Bond not being a middle aged white guy. I have a problem with James Bond not actually being a character in the franchise.
I hear the argument that all iterations of Bond happen in their own closed timeframe and nothing that has gone before is relevant to the current iteration, and Craig's Bond has definitely had a more clearly defined arc than most or his predecessors, but the ending of this one still makes it much more difficult because no other arcs can occur in a time that is clearly later than the setting of NTTD.
There were lots of ways of closing the Craig story without doing it the way they did.

No argument here but this isn't Mass Effect 3 so no amount of complaining from the fanbase is going to get EON and Amazon to drop a DLC updated ending. Craig's Bond is dead and now they have to answer that in the next iteration, in which case I'm 100% open the next "Bond" being whoever.

It's a real shame he got such garbage scripts because I liked Brosnan a lot, he was the perfect blend of Moore's charm and humour with Dalton's toughness. We also haven't had a good villain since Le Chiffre, with Bardem being a particular low point.

Agreed now who you want? Polished, urbane (Henry Cavill)? Rugged, not posh (Sam Heughan)? POC (Regé-Jean Page, John Boyega)? or, a relative no-name (like Daniel Craig was)?
Cavill could pull it off (esp. if he'd use his gravely, lower timber 'Geralt' voice from the Witchers).

I don't especially care about his skin colour, because I don't think it's germane to the stories; Leiter was a white man in Fleming's books but no one batted an eyelid when Bernie Casey and then Jeffrey Wright played him, because it didn't and doesn't matter.
I do though think that James Bond should be a man, because James is a man's name and the character is a man and so much of what makes Bond special is wrapped up in his masculinity. So I think that does matter.
Given what happened in NTTD, if I accept the received wisdom that I'm still not a fan of that each iteration has its own arc that occurs independently of any other, I'd like to see it follow a similar age sequence to Craig as I think they got him about right; Craig was 37/38 when he first played Bond and 51 when he made the last one, and I think that's about right. Bond needs to be old enough to have the experience and wisdom required to be the world's most effective special agent, but young enough to be able to pull off the fights and stunts believably. (That said, I'm not opposed to the next arc being more of an origins story with a slightly younger actor - that could be interesting.)
Other considerations are obviously that Bond has to be English, because he is, and needs to be handsome and physically imposing enough to fulfil the basic requirements of being an impossibly suave super spy. So of your list I would say that Cavill and Boyega are both good suggestions, and while I've never heard of Sam Heughan or Regé-Jean Page they also both look the part (I note that Page has also been cast as Simon Templar in a reboot of The Saint, which is a fun tie-in to Bond). I'd also suggest Robert Pattinson, Alfred Enoch, Alex Pettyfer and Dev Patel as potential candidates. I'd also include Taron Egerton but I suspect that having sent up JB so successfully in Kingsman they might have a bit of a problem with casting him.
-
Robert Pattinson
He's awesome and he'd be great (pretty much played the role in Tenet). But he's probably hitched his train to Batman for the foreseeable future.
Dev Patel
Love it.

I don't especially care about his skin colour, because I don't think it's germane to the stories; Leiter was a white man in Fleming's books but no one batted an eyelid when Bernie Casey and then Jeffrey Wright played him, because it didn't and doesn't matter.
I do though think that James Bond should be a man, because James is a man's name and the character is a man and so much of what makes Bond special is wrapped up in his masculinity. So I think that does matter.
Given what happened in NTTD, if I accept the received wisdom that I'm still not a fan of that each iteration has its own arc that occurs independently of any other, I'd like to see it follow a similar age sequence to Craig as I think they got him about right; Craig was 37/38 when he first played Bond and 51 when he made the last one, and I think that's about right. Bond needs to be old enough to have the experience and wisdom required to be the world's most effective special agent, but young enough to be able to pull off the fights and stunts believably. (That said, I'm not opposed to the next arc being more of an origins story with a slightly younger actor - that could be interesting.)
Other considerations are obviously that Bond has to be English, because he is, and needs to be handsome and physically imposing enough to fulfil the basic requirements of being an impossibly suave super spy. So of your list I would say that Cavill and Boyega are both good suggestions, and while I've never heard of Sam Heughan or Regé-Jean Page they also both look the part (I note that Page has also been cast as Simon Templar in a reboot of The Saint, which is a fun tie-in to Bond). I'd also suggest Robert Pattinson, Alfred Enoch, Alex Pettyfer and Dev Patel as potential candidates. I'd also include Taron Egerton but I suspect that having sent up JB so successfully in Kingsman they might have a bit of a problem with casting him.
No one batted an eye because Leiter was a secondary character. Bond was and is Bond, a brand. Yes, Bond could've been originally cast with e.g. an Anton Phillips or a Sidney Poitier. But he wasn't and as it turned out the first seven--seven--James Bond's were of the causation persuasion so it's fair to say that a post-Craig POC Bond would have made an impression (however slight) to a previously unaware theater goer familiar with the already established Bond brand and that is why I mentioned it as a consideration but hardly as a required condition.

I'm nearing the end of my Scorsese catch-up and I have The Wolf of Wall Street queued up next, but after that I don't have anything obvious readily available.
How essential is Raging Bull? If it's a must-see to I'll make the effort to get my eyes on it.
After that I'll probably be done. Gangs of New York is one of those movies that I think I saw, or saw significant parts of, to the point where it's not really on my list. The Aviator doesn't interest me too much.

Raging Bull is essential. Probably doesn’t hold up as well over time as some movies, but it’s worth it for Scorsese/Deniro/Pesci. Honestly worth it just for Deniro alone.
GONY is essential from start to finish but it’s almost 3 hours long so prob not worth your time if it’s a rewatch. Easily one of my favorite movies ever.
Not a big aviator fan, but it’s well directed, well acted, and I found Howard Hughes mildly interesting. I’d recommend a watch if you haven’t seen it, but it’s pretty slow and you’re not missing much. Other than the pee jar scene.
I’ve never seen Silence (2016)
Killers of the Flower Moon releases in 2022

Raging Bull is a massively superior movie to Wolf.

It's one of the best movies made and should have been MS's first Academy Award not the Departed, the Academy is a joke.

FWIW, Scorsese is my favorite director ever and Goodfellas is my favorite movie ever, just so you get a sense of my movie tastes...
Raging Bull is as essential to watching Scorsese movies as 2001 or The Shining is to watching Kubrick movies. Actually, imo it's essential viewing for any movie buff.
As of now, i rank my 5 fave MS movies:
1) Goodfellas (easily)
2) The Departed
3) Raging Bull
4) Wolf...
5) Taxi Driver
As puck mentioned, Scorsese should have scored his first Oscar w/ Raging Bull, over Ordinary freaking People and Redford. He also should have won Oscar for Goodfellas over Dances With Wolves.
But I was very happy with The Departed win, that movie is one of my all time favorites.

Easily the most underrated film on Scorsese's resume.
Raging Bull and Goodfella's are his best work imho. I love Departed, but those two movies are on another level. As Gorilla said, Dances with Wolves over Goodfellas is the Oscar equivalent of trading for Daunte Culpepper instead of signing Drew Brees. Just an all-time bad decision.
Speaking of Goodfella's, Ray Liotta...SUPER nice guy. Before we moved out of Union (jersey), we lived two doors down from his father who was ailing so my mom would go grocery shopping for him. I was too young to join my older brother and his friends for street basketball when Ray would play with them, but he was very gracious with his time with everyone when he'd come visit.
-
I’m willing to admit Goodfellas and Taxi Driver are better overall movies, but The Departed is my favorite movie. My age and the time in my life when I saw all of these movies is probably a huge factor here. Saw The Departed the week it came out my freshman year in college while living in downtown Boston and it consumed my brain for years.

I saw Infernal Affairs years before and so I have always hated The Departed.

If I had to tier them:
Great:

Good:

Cape Fear
The Color of Money
Solid:
Casino
The Irishman
Shutter Island
TBD if/when I get to them:
The Wolf of Wall Street

The Aviator
Hugo

Bringing Out the Dead

I was going to say something about putting Casino in the same class as Shutter Island but if you put on the spot to watch a Scorsese movie, I'd probably say Bringing Out the Dead every time.
-
I don't know that Wolf of Wall Street was the best of them, but I liked it the best. None of the ones I've seen are bad. Probably liked Shutter Island the least and it was still good.

This is probably similar to what I think, although I would raise BOD significantly, and I never saw the Irishman and not sure if I want to. I understand you guys love the Departed, and it's a good movie, but to me, it's not in MS top 5. Also, I would add the Color of Money pretty high up.
I am dovetailing on Gorilla's post:
It honestly just pisses me off that Goodfella's arguably one of the best movies ever made didn't win best picture and lost to a movie that's basically a side note in trivia. I shake my head every single time.
Also, Raging Bull was the consensus top movie of every reviewer's list of top movies of the 80s and in the top 5 or 10 of all time on basically all of them. Another how the freak could it not have won the Oscar?
The Departed was like giving the award for longevity, or as a reward for past stupidity. Maybe it was the best picture that year, but at the very least it should have been his 3rd.
-
Goodfellas
Wolf of Wall St
Gangs of New York
Casino
Cape Fear
this is my top 5. But it's fluid because i still haven't seen Raging Bull or Taxi Driver yet. I've only seen the Departed once, i don't remember it well enough to have an opinion.
I didn't really care for Shutter Island or The Irishman. They weren't bad movies....just one and done for me.
-
Goodfellas
Mean Streets
Taxi Driver
Bringing Out the Dead
Gangs of New York
Taxi Driver sits in a weird spot because I like it more than Mean Streets or Goodfellas but it's just so difficult to watch.
The ones I have never seen and I'm OK with that:
The Aviator
The Irishman
Hugo
The Color of Money (I really hate Tom Cruise)
The ones I still need to see:
After Hours
Cape Fear
Kundun (never finished it)
Pretend it's a City
Silence (never finished it)
The Age of Innocence

I love Casino, but it just feels like it was a safe movie for MS. It's similar to Goodfellas, and it does have a certain sense of been there done that to it. Funny thing is if it was another director, it probably would be looked at as a masterpiece.

Please both add King Of Comedy to your lists, it's an incredible film with so much to say that is so relevant today. In fact, looking at it through a 2021 lens it shows what a freaking visionary Scorsese is.
I'm going to rewatch Gangs Of New York over Christmas, the one time I saw it I came away massively underwhelmed and the amount of love for it suggests I may have got it wrong.

I actually had issues with Casino. For the first time in my life I felt like "none of these characters are likeable" was a valid criticism of something.
Scorcese also tests my long-held stance that there's no such thing as a movie being too long, only movies not good enough to be as long as they are.

So as you age the movies you watch will progressively get shorter. You will end up watching Bugs Bunny cartoons before every pee when you hit your 70's.

Longest movie I watched during COVID was Once Upon a Time in America, 3:49. I watched it on a day off from work when the kids were at school.

This happened to me and my sisters when we went to see The Tuxedo in theaters. They started playing The Banger Sisters by accident and we fled to join my parents in the screening of My Big Fat Greek Wedding which ended up being the best possible outcome of all those movies.

Red Notice on Netflix. Deeply unoriginal storyline, but really fun performances from three very likeable actors (Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot). Would be a worse movie if it wasn't so clearly knowing about what it's unashamedly ripping off, as it is it's a fun way of killing a couple of hours with the family. Belongs in the OK Movies thread but we don't have one, so on balance it just sneaks in here ahead of Crap Movies.

Red Notice on Netflix. Deeply unoriginal storyline, but really fun performances from three very likeable actors (Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot). Would be a worse movie if it wasn't so clearly knowing about what it's unashamedly ripping off, as it is it's a fun way of killing a couple of hours with the family. Belongs in the OK Movies thread but we don't have one, so on balance it just sneaks in here ahead of Crap Movies.

Woo hoo!
I watched Venom: Let The Be Carnage last night. Would anyone like my review?
Venom: Let There Be Carnage is yet another example of the decline in the superhero comic film department. Venom shows us exactly what is wrong with protagonists of movies, by proving that he cannot maintain a solid, unwavering attitude in a difficult situation. Unlike true pinnacles of entertainment, such as the legendary Red Notice, Venom fails to acknowledge the severity of each scene he is in. Often joking with his predictable sidekick Carnage, Venom never seems to acknowledge that the fate of his entire town is at stake. We also must endure a pointless romance sub-plot between Venom and Michelle Williams.
When will the movie industry realize that superhero stories are not effective when they are not treated with the maturity of their subject matter? Watching this movie is like watching a circus clown make 9/11 jokes. Each and every moment of it contains incessant fart jokes and potty humor, making the children laugh yet making the adults cringe with pain. Films such as these are responsible for the decline of western civilization. Don't watch this movie if you have any hope for humanity's future.

There's a third option, that the character who said it doesn't know anything about football and the protagonist humored him instead of correcting him.

Watched Hagazussa last night. German horror movie, reminiscent of The VVitch. Really well shot and directed, very little dialog. Spooky and creepy and eerie. Still no idea what it was actually about.
Also watched Ghostbusters: Afterlife which was an absolute joy. Very much a Greatest Hits movie in the vein of what The Force Awakens did.

The Green Knight - putting it in here because I refuse to call anything with Dev Patel and Alicia Vikander crap, and they are both very good, but they've not been given particularly good material to work with here. Patel's script in particular is really clunky and forced, and the story isn't very engaging. It's at least a bit different to your standard swords and sorcery epic, but there are some stupid plot devices that I couldn't get past - I'm not familiar with the original material so that may be the primary fault here.
Gunpowder Milkshake is really good blasty fun, I feel like they started with the premise of "let's make a movie set in the world of John Wick, but with women" (they missed out on an opportunity to call it John Chick) and let things roll from there. Karen Gillan is badass. Turn your brain off and enjoy.

CODA

LOL, I saw the first two minutes with some girl prancing about chirruping about how she was going to London to be a fashion designer and noped out. I may return to it some day.
Update: I did in fact return to it (Last Night In Soho). Terrific film and I agree with Cato and Reuben's takes on it. My only criticism is that it was very, very predictable - I'm not one of those "I figured it out 20 minutes in" guys, but this time I did because no actual figuring was required. The obvious plot outcome was kinda glaring.
-
X was ...something. Saw it super late last night and it was definitely worth it. Ortega's great, so is Cudi. Hopefully Cudi starts doing more horror.
Ti West at his best. It was actually pretty funny and it had GNARLY kills. Some of the most gruesome shots in recent memory.
-
My only criticism is that it was very, very predictable
Yeah, his stories tend to be. He's such an incredibly inventive director, but I wish more of that creativity worked its way into his screenwriting.
Next up is The Running Man though.

Yeah I liked it. Nothing particularly astonishing, just a nice little thriller. I consider it part of an unofficial Soderbergh trilogy with Unsane and Side Effects that I'm calling, "Crazy Chicks in Trouble."

Motivated by a stupid freaking snowstorm at the end of April, I had another go at watching the most recent Spider-Man movie. Actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, the assortment of characters that appeared throughout were very entertaining and the script was expertly done.
Still can't get excited for the whole multiverse thing (not least because the way they've introduced the idea of the multiverse blows holes in its own plot) but it was a well spent two and a half hours.

I also think The Dark Knight is the best Batman film, and comic book film, ever (not that it's an out-on-a-limb opinion haha).
I haven't yet seen The Batman, since I don't watch movies without Thomas the Tank Engine or Daniel Tiger as the star anymore.
Sidenote: I also have yet to see Licorice Pizza, mentioned earlier. PTA is one of the greatest of all time, a legitimate genius.
The Joker was very, very good. Phoenix was better in The Master and You Were Never Really Here imho, but he's awesome in everything. I actually think all 3 Nolan Batman movies were better than The Joker.

I have three films in development: a contained action movie in the Die Hard mould; a small-town slasher with social/political undertones that sits somewhere between Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; and a serial killer thriller about the dangers of the modern dating scene, which was scheduled to shoot mid- to late 2020, at least before COVID-19 turned the world upside down.

It was fun but unnecessary. I'd rather just rewatch the original. Flying scenes were good though.

Australians and Brits can interchange pretty easily, the accents are very close. Brits playing Americans is my primary bugbear, the US is full of actors. If you have a character who is American, go find one to play it and stop being lazy.
I finally got round to watch Knives Out at the weekend. Great fun, terrific movie. What the freak was Daniel Craig's accent? Did Daniel need the work? Was he hurting for funds and struggling to pay the mortgage between Bonds? freak off. Go hire an American.

Normally I'd agree with you, but Craig playing an American is a guarantee for a good movie. See also: Logan Lucky.
To be clear: I don't mind the practice in general, but when every good American role is played by an English actor, it starts getting annoying.
Additional annoyances: every foreign role in an American produced movie being played by an English actor. The Boy in the Striped Pajamas was really confusing before I realized what was going on.

What the freak was Daniel Craig's accent? Did Daniel need the work? Was he hurting for funds and struggling to pay the mortgage between Bonds? freak off. Go hire an American.
Wrong, having seen it as is I can't imagine a more enjoyable alternative.

I finally got round to watch Knives Out at the weekend. Great fun, terrific movie. What the freak was Daniel Craig's accent? Did Daniel need the work? Was he hurting for funds and struggling to pay the mortgage between Bonds? freak off. Go hire an American.
I have to respectfully disagree haha. As Cato mentioned, Craig was also excellent in Logan Lucky.
But never stop being Armohnny Whiteglish.

Last year's Candyman was also very good (co-wrote and produced).

Nope was amazing.
Thor: Love and Thunder was entertaining but Thor's transformation into a living cartoon character is complete. I think Taika heard Scorsese's take on Marvel movies, said yes, and ran with it.

"Anyone who thinks the Oscars are a metric of good filmmaking..."
you can kind of stop there haha.
And I'm someone who's a lifelong film buff and watched the Oscars religiously since I was a kid. I haven't watched a broadcast in a while, and it used to be the biggest deal to me.
The Will Smith-spraying-tiny-dick-cuck-diarrhea everywhere escapade was not watched by me live, thankfully, and drove the last few nails into the coffin of any respect I had for that self-fellating, now-meaningless charade.
MF'er was literally allowed to get a naked man statue and give a speech after assaulting someone. Shameless.

The Black Phone was decent. Worth a watch at least.
***SPOILERS****
I haven't read the short story, but the whole psychic sister storyline seems like it was tacked on to pad the runtime. The father too. Not sure it was really necessary. I think the whole movie could have taken place in the basement, starting with him waking up and ending on him walking out.
-
I hate kid actors and The Black Phone didn't change my mind. Ethan Hawke is really good though.
The psychic sister is part of the short story too. The movie felt very much like a short story.

Co-signed, though the gulf between Predator and Prey is wide. Best action movie of all time.
-
Prey is pointless. It's just the same movie yet again. Predator v Arnie, Predator v Rastas, Predator v Xenomorph, Predator v Indians, it's the same thing over and over again.
Some things are stylishly done, and they get a bonus point for actually using indigenous actors rather than crowbarring stars into loincloths, but I found myself wondering whether there wasn't something rather more interesting I could have done with my 100 minutes.

You might be the only person on the planet asking for anything else from this movie.
-
You might be the only person on the planet asking for anything else from this movie.
I just don't really understand the point. There's no reason why it can't actually have some story as well; look at how franchises like Alien have been able to employ actual story arcs in each movie, and across the whole franchise, while still managing to be primarily a vehicle for "outgunned and overpowered human finds way to defeat monster".
Also, I had to look up Dan "does not miss" Trachterberg; he's done literally one other movie, a movie which could have been good but whose entire premise was completely ruined by its own title. So by my reckoning he's 0/2 so far.

Absolutely fine, thank you.
I have no idea why other people's noises, movements, emanations or anything else would enhance your experience of watching a movie. There is nothing that anyone else could say or do during a movie that would be anything other than a distraction or an annoyance to me. I recently went to the theatre to watch a movie for the first time in years (Top Gun Maverick); I had to pay to park, pay to get in, miss five minutes of the movie because I needed a pee, and all the while surrounded by other people. In every single way it would have been a far more enjoyable experience watching it at home.
I doubt I'll ever watch a movie at the theatre again.

No I didn't, and you're not quite that dumb unless you choose to be. I said that I don't like the theatre because the best that people can do is not ruin the experience, and they often fail to meet that bar. I didn't complain about anything because I know that if I go to the theatre that's what I'm signing up for, and I don't like it so I don't do it.

Enjoying some things in a community setting is fun for sure, like sport or music, but movies are different. Other people's laughter or surprise or worst of all commentary are not enhancements IMO, quite the opposite. But even take other people out of the equation and there's a whole bunch of other reasons why the theatre is worse than watching at home. 20 years ago when 50" screens and 5.1 were the preserve of rappers and football players then maybe, but top quality home theatre equipment is in most people's homes these days. The sole, single reason for going to the theatre in my world is to see a movie that I care enough about seeing without risk of it being spoiled, and I generally don't care enough about any new releases for that to bother me. I think the last one I went to see for that reason was the first one in the last Star Wars trilogy.

i often find myself thinking about the psychology with attending live comedies. you go into a show/movie/event thinking things will be said for the purpose of being funny, and i feel that often means that a rather mundane comment/joke will become funnier than it actually is, and you laugh. then, there is a live 'peer pressure' component of others around you laughing at things that may not be that funny, but because the others are perceiving it as funny, you'll end up joining in and laughing too. maybe there is a fomo component to that.
i say this because i often watch live comedies on my TV by myself, and i don't be laughing at the excrement other people be laughing at, and i wonder why. when it comes to comedies/jokes i don't think i'm that hard to please

Saint Maud was good but not a scary movie. At least not in the flavor I was expected based on the marketing. I'm worried Prey for the Devil may fall the same. I'm also worried that it's rated PG-13.

Watched Barbarian. There were some clever bits of writing and filmmaking, but it didn't come close to living up to the hype. I did enjoy the "oh, now I understand the title" moment and I like the very Rob Zombie stylistic sense the director has, but it wasn't even remotely scary.
Didn't hate it, didn't love it. It was fine. Will have forgotten it by tomorrow.

There were others as well - the top of the water tower being an obvious one - but there were some really clumsy bits of writing as well, be they logical inconsistencies, overly telegraphed tropes, or just plain missteps.
Again, it was fine. I'll see much worse horror movies this year. I'll see better ones as well though.

It wasn’t scary but it was original and entertaining.
It’s so hard to find something unique and this hit it.

It wasn't really very original at all. Not that most horror movies are, but I'd love to know what you think was new and fresh about it. Again, there was some good writing and filmmaking, but there were some misses as well.
A decent enough but fairly forgettable debut, IMO.

Do horror movies have to be scary to be good?
I was trying to figure out which bit he was telling me I was wrong about. Given about the only statement I made in the post Steve quoted that wasn't opinion was "it wasn't scary", I can only assume that that was what he thought I was wrong about.
No, they don't have to be scary to be good. Most good horror movies are to some extent though.

I was mostly being a dick and not serious. I intentionally didn’t provide any details as to why you’re wrong as bait.
I liked the movie and I appreciate that you didn’t have the same opinion.
As for what was original, I liked the swerve at the beginning. I don’t want to say too much as it’s a bit of a spoiler. I also really liked Justin Long’s character. He was like a classic heel wrestler. So good and being hateable.

This at least looks like fun but why do I have to see almost every American character played by an English actor?
Also, I saw someone post on Twitter that Harry Melling's sex scene with Anya Taylor-Joy in Queen's Gambit had to include the largest disparity in eye spacing between two people freaking and I think about that at least once a week.

Yes, nothing more thrilling than watching an angsty teenager read books and struggle with change. How original.
It’s was tonally inconsistent and so boring.
Every scene change tinged with the same piano interlude, my god this movie couldn’t end fast enough. And it doesn’t end, it fades to black then says “September” and keeps fuckin going.

It’s not a vampire movie and Mark Rylance is brilliant. His character could have been interesting to explore. I would have made the movie about Maren struggling whether to follow the good eaters and the bad eaters.

I do understand that. You can still do something original with it.

It wasn't about him though. Just like it wasn't about the non-eater and his partner they met out in the woods.

The “struggles” were not original.
Abusive drunk dad.
Absent parent.
Struggling to fit in.
The “urge” to eat was barely explored. The plot was Maren finding her mom, not dealing with cannibalism.
It was a road trip movie with angsty teenagers that don’t fit in set in the 80s. There was more about Tim and his sister than the fact these were cannibals.
And the most egregious sin was the fact it was boring. The actors were wasted.

No argument with that. But they’ve been explored with better execution in better movies.

They got great small performances from Holland, Rylance, Sevigny, and Stuhlbarg in a road trip movie. Chalamet and Russell both killed it.

The waste is the excruciatingly boring 2 hours.
Ultimately it’s just my opinion and I’m glad you enjoyed it. I intentionally avoided everything about this movie, I had no idea what it was about and when Maren does what she does at the sleepover I was completely surprised. I was hoping that set the tone for the next 2 hours.
I was not the target demo and it didn’t land for me.

This isn't a rhetorical question: what would be an original theme/topic/plot point that you wished was explored?
I get that a group of cannibals struggling to suppress their urges so they can function in this world seems like it should produce a lot of unique themes but if these feelings, traumas, and urges that they are experiencing don't tie back into something more normal that the audience can relate to then this story would veer into either overwrought schlock or a ridiculously unrelatable, high concept art piece.
The urge to eat was barely explored? Ok, say what you would have wanted to see, then. What was the plot point based on that could have worked better?

The urge to eat was barely explored? Ok, say what you would have wanted to see, then. What was the plot point based on that could have worked better?
I said it before. Have Maren struggle with what is right and wrong about her cannibalistic urges. She has two eaters that are trying to take her under their wing. One is clearly the bad one and the other one is pretty similar to her.
She should have followed Sully for some time, see more of his evil ways and realize it wasn’t for her. Where we left Sully it was still unclear of his intentions.
Also how does she go 18 years without encountering another eater then finds two in two days? This was the most glaring but there are other plot holes that are frustrating.
I’m not a filmmaker or anything other than a fan, I don’t have all the answers. I do know this was yet another coming of age story that wears a sign saying “cannibal.” Nothing new was done with a tired genre.

I’m just very concerned that someone expected this to be a fun/joyful movie
I never implied that it was meant to be a “joyful” movie. I said “I’m glad someone enjoyed it.”
I enjoy the movie experience even if it isn’t a joyful thematic movie. Horror is my favorite genre, I enjoy the immersion, getting chills, and the escapism.
This excrement didn’t immerse, didn’t entertain me, and didn’t tell the story effectively.

The Woman King was actually pretty good. I now understand why the incels, racists and bigots so disliked it, and it made me like it more.

This movie sucked. Lifetime movie level acting, worse cinematography and special effects straight from 1998.
It tried to be “so bad it’s good” but failed and landed on just bad.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is fantastic, but it does that stupid thing where the characters aren't American so instead they're British...except Ron Pearlman.

I have very little interest in this movie, but the fact that it apparently has so badly upset fat activists - a group of people I absolutely despise - makes me want to support it. Oh no, how dare someone make a movie suggesting that being morbidly obese isn't a positive lifestyle choice? I HAVE CONDITIONS THAT MEAN I CAN'T EXERCISE AND I BARELY EAT ANYTHING AND IT JUST HAPPENS AND BEING FAT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT EVEN IF I WANTED TO AND I DON'T BECAUSE freak YOU AND YOUR SOCIETAL NORMS!

FYI & fwiw from this morning’s NYT
By Gilbert Cruz
🍿 “Babylon” (Friday): In 2016, the director Damien Chazelle became the youngest person to win the best director Oscar for “La La Land,” his lush musical ode to love and ambition in Los Angeles. He followed that up with the arguably superior “First Man,” a radically restrained account of Neil Armstrong’s journey to the moon. Now, he’s pivoting back again with this maximalist tale of dissolute Hollywood players in the early days of the film industry. It features Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie and, well, just their presence alone would be enough for me

It’s definitely going to become an annual watch

Thanks to SteveFlix (and Netflix and HBO and Prime and Disney+).
But basically if I don't have plans to go out (and since I started tracking my movies in 2020, that's often), and there are either no interesting sports on or at least a game that ends early enough, I'll watch something.
I went extra hard at the beginning of the year, then once baseball starts I slow down a bit, as well as during typical vacation times.
Once I hit 100 I coasted a bit after that.

One recommendation I'd make to anyone with kids is Tomm Moore's films, I basically consider him the Irish Miyazaki.

Elvis was magnificent. I'm so-so on his music but you definitely don't need to be a fan to enjoy and admire the movie; there's a lot of his blues and gospel heritage in there as well, which is far more my jam.
The lead performance from Austin Butler is quite breathtaking, if he isn't a leading contender for Best Actor then there's something wrong.

which i then learned was sampled from siouxsie and the banshees -- happy house from 1980

also, i'm remembering now that i really liked the female leads in scott pilgrim and baby driver, and the prostitute from last night in soho (who is also revealed as one of the hot naked witches at the end of the vvitch). i'm not sure what the level of my attraction to them did for my affinity to those movies , but i just want to say that i really liked looking at them.

Hereditary is one of my top 10 horror films ever. And Midsommar was also excellent.

Finally watch The Lighthouse last night and it was…something. Defoe and Pattinson both acted the excrement out of it. I didn’t love it like I loved The VVitch but the fact it kept my interest the entire movie despite the fact it was just the two of them 95% of the time says something to me. Also, definitely some interesting scenery in a few scenes.
Said it in the StevePlex thread but if you’re looking to get properly mindfucked watch Possession. I’ve decided I actually liked it even though it can be pretty confusing. The subway scene was something like I’ve never watched and Isabelle Adjani is gorgeous. Definitely my kind of out there.

So, I’ve been on a roll lately, I finally saw Happiness a movie I’ve been avoiding for years and I have to say I actually liked it, although I won’t be in a rush to watch it again anytime soon. It was actually pretty humorous in parts but the acting was unbelievable in this. I have to say, the end scene between Dylan Baker and his son is hard to watch but the acting there is unbelievable. Like, I don’t know how old that kid was in real life but to put him in a scene like that seemed kinda mental. And, I think a lot of people misinterpret that scene. I’ve seen people say hes crying like that because he’s upset that his dad never did it to him but I thought it was pretty clear he’s upset at the depravity of his seemingly normal dads actions. Either way, that was crushing and it’s a pretty unbelievably acted.

I saw that on a list of “movies I never want to see again” so obviously I was intrigued by it and I have to say I was impressed by Pattinson’s acting but it’s not on StevePlex. lol, I’m still pretty fucked up by Possession. That movie was…something.

Plot details of Weapons are being kept holstered, but it is described as an interrelated, multistory horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.

So…Uncut Gems…wow. Great movie. Spoiler: I knew he was gonna hit that bet, just knew it. I also figured something bad was gonna happen afterward, but how bad, I didn’t figure that. Another movie I won’t be in a rush to rewatch, but a great movie nonetheless.

Outside of The Batman 2, this is the most interesting thing about the DCEU so far. I'll probably watch anything James Mangold does.

dang lol. i as a sneakerhead will be all over this movie
the air jordan 1 is over 37 years old and it's still the most famous sneaker of all time. it revolutionized the sneaker industry and athlete marketing in general. it is the literal OG of the sneaker/streetwear culture. it still dominates today. there will never be another athlete that will be able to create the brand jordan has. i think there is enough there to tell a story and make a movie but can see why people wouldn't be into it. some people just aren't into sneakers like that
also, these guys totally watched the last dance and thought 'let's take the nike/beaverton story and make it a movie' almost 3 years ago lol

Obviously there are all sorts of things that don't make any sense, but they've walked the line of stupid perfectly this time (i.e. not shooting cars into space or having ten minute car chases down never ending runways), there are some proper laugh out loud moments (intended), and Jason Momoa is the best Bond villain of the last two decades at least.

Oppenheimer: brilliantly directed by Christopher Nolan with a very good cast (for the most part). While a tad long the compelling, complex storyline reflects a compelling, complex genius that Cillian Murphy as Oppenheimer plays with a razor sharp intensity throughout - dude has some rock solid acting chops. Overall very much worth the watch.
Nolan flat out crushed it - three thumbs up.

Hollywood needs to stop trying to make John David Washington happen. He's fine, but he's not a lead actor.

Talk to Me. Loved it. I know indie filmmakers need (and deserve) to cash in on their horror hits, but I'd love it if they let this one stand on its own. Let the mythology exist in the audience's imagination.
Big Event Horizon vibes from the hell scene.

Chef Carmy playing the Texas Tornado is a surprisingly good casting. Kevin Von Erich is one of the ugliest motherfuckers currently in the free world, so casting Zac Efron to play him is hilarious.
I'll be going to the theatre to see this in Dec. I used to watch the Von Erichs in the 80s...their story is pretty sad.

The Killer. Reuben is wrong, it's excellent. Completely unoriginal, but Fincher's direction and cinematography is as usual stylish as freak, the script is great, and Fassbender is outstanding.

It might be in my top 3 Nolan movies as well. The Dark Knight and Inception are definitely there, then I think it's probably Oppenheimer. Still need to watch Tenet and I'm overdue a rewatch of The Prestige.

I meant to watch Oppenheimer the week it came out in IMAX. Several months have gone by and I still haven't seen it. I guess I'll just rent it now.

I only managed it because they brought it back to IMAX here this month for a limited run. Definitely worth seeing on the big big screen.
-

I've actually never seen Following either, I probably should. I wasn't too impressed with Dunkirk; it was a more original telling of a war story than most and certainly in comparison to that utter shite pile that Mendes produced around the same time it stands up well, but whether by accident or design Nolan managed to make a huge and legendary military operation seem small and relatively inconsequential. It may be that it was deliberate in order to focus on the specific story that he was trying to tell, but it detracted from the whole thing for me. Maybe if he'd set the story in the context of a smaller and less well known operation it would have worked better.

I think that's all pretty accurate. I would add that the three parallel timelines element was unnecessarily convoluted. Nolan can't resist timey-wimey fuckery in his movies though, it's pretty much his Thing.
Pretty strong opinion on 1917 though, why did you hate it?

Absolutely no one needs to watch Tenet.

It was a 1990s video game with a 9 figure budget. The story such as it was was linear and unoriginal with little time spent bothering with such distractions as character development, preferring instead to wheel out some lazy tropes to show us how the Germans were pure unadulterated evil and war is tough on innocent conscripts, before getting on with the real business of DEATH EXPLODEY KABOOM for two hours. It was the movie that Michael Bay would have made if he'd been told to make a movie about WWI except at least Bay would have given us Megan Fox's derriere to distract us from the absolutely degenerate waste of budget and time he'd committed in making the movie in the first place.
Mendes is a talentless hack and I hate everything he is and does, but even among his short but impressive canon of garbage that movie is a special level of turd.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it. There is one scene which fairly obviously would be impressive on an IMAX, but the majority of it is people talking in offices and committee meetings and labs and parties. It's not really a spectacle movie.

Thanksgiving was fine. I am a sucker for 80s-esque slashers but (as stupid as it sounds) I didn't appreciate the motivation for our killer. It felt... lazy.
I know this is based on a Grindhouse fake trailer so the plot is a bit of an afterthought but I'm pretty sure there was zero thought put into it.
The kills were enjoyable and I appreciate it for what it is but I needed to acknowledge this.

It belongs here but I wouldn't fault anyone for saying they didn't like it.
My key to understanding the movie was the tunnel scene. I interpret that scene as an adolescent girl discovering her sexuality - curiously exploring a dark wet cave, singing, harmonizing with herself, and then it's ruined when some random dude starts bellowing, charging into the tunnel from the opposite end. The whole movie is an allegory for her sexual development and related traumas, which is why she can never quite give the address to her friend: it's not a real place.

Dead Man’s Shoes
Wow. I’m kinda fucked up after seeing this. I got a definite I Spit on Your Grave meets Taxi Driver vibe to this. Paddy Considine is amazing in this. I’m not gonna spoil anything but the ending is very intense and knocks you for a loop. Best movie I’ve seen in a bit for sure.

There’s so many scenes that could be brought up but my favorite was when Sonny confronts him on the wall and says you’re not scared of me are you? The black-and-white flashbacks are horrible, in particular, the last one, so his retort to Sonny is perfect. I gotta say, I’ve never seen Considine nearly this intense. This movie will stick with me for a minute.

It is at something like 60% on RT, serving as an excellent piece of evidence as to why we shouldn't decide what to watch based on those ratings.

I'll take direct recommendation over RT. I think it was maybe reuben who posted about it a few years back that got me to watch it.
I'm not sure why I think this, but I think if it came out in 2023 it would have been better received critically.

Watched this tonight. It was fun - definitely more so than watching the Jets - and I'm not sure why you need to care about the killer's motivation, or even if he has one at all outside of it just being a thing he is compelled to do. I didn't get quite as much out of it as Heis did but as you say, some of the kills were fun. The lead chick was ridiculously attractive.

I honestly never heard of it but I see it’s directed by Kaufmann and has Plemmons and Colette. Read a few reviews but I think I’m gonna give it a go. I mean, I didn’t love Beau is Afraid but it seems like I liked it more than most people.
I watched Midnight Cowboy for the first time earlier. Good flick.

Finally saw Repulsion by Polanski and I’m putting into this thread because it’s not a “bad” movie but i have to say…didn’t really care for it. I think Rosemary’s Baby is one of the best “horror” movies of all time but this just didn’t do anything for me. The acting is fine, just not much of a plot or an arc, not really any characters I cared for (she’s clearly mad from the beginning) and a weird ending. Oh well, at least I finally saw it.

Have to say…wow, I really liked it. It’s really kind of a profound but sad movie that makes you think about life and the moments that make a person a person. The acting was top notch. Now, I kinda-sorta knew what was going on but, being a Charlie Kaufman movie, it got a little muddled and confusing at times but I didn’t completely see what was going on until it was over. It made me want to watch it again knowing what I know now. Either way, it’s a smart movie, really makes you think about your life as a whole, but definitely a bit sad.

This movie fucked me up, literally. I had to stop watching it because I felt like I was going to faint, have a seizure, panic attack. I don't know what was happening but something in my brain said no and I needed to turn it off a little past halfway through. Never finished it.

I love how they proved the whole point of the movie by not nominating the women who directed and starred in Barbie and giving the guy who played Ken not just a nomination, but 2 of them lol.
Haha exactly. I mean Gerwig and Robbie had no shot of actually winning, but I was surprised neither were nominated. Scorsese or Nolan will win Director and Stone/Gladstone are in a strictly 2 person race for Best Actress.

It’s about a cult and a serial killer. I doubt it’s some kind of cursed box with a thousand year old demon or Book of the Dead inside.

Krasinski's not writing or directing. This might be where the series jumps the shark into CGI nonsense, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt because I like looking at Lupita.

I liked the first two. I'll probably stream this or go watch it on a $5 Tuesday at Alamo.
The first one had one of my favorite all-time theater experiences. Alamo refused to sell anything that crunched on their menu - no popcorn, no nachos. The theater was ...a quiet place.
-
Last three days saw The Usual Suspects, Good Time and Chinatown all for the first time and all 3 were superb.
Even though I’ve heard so much about TUS and kinda-sorta knew there was gonna be a twist, didn’t take away from how much I liked it. Good Time was awesome even though I can’t exactly say why, just so frenetic, and Chinatown was…Chinatown. Jack Nicholson and Faye Dunaway were basically the whole movie. Little twist ending I didn’t see in that one.

So…watched Argento’s Deep Red and Tenebre and still think Suspiria is the king. Gotta say though, any horror fan will enjoy both. Deep Red dragged a bit but, damn, stay for the murder scenes. I think I actually liked Tenebre a little more, it flowed a bit easier but both good. The man is obsessed with close-ups of eyeballs, glass and beautiful Italian women.
Just watched Blood In, Blood Out from beginning to end for the 1st time in probably 25 years and wow. Forgot how much I loved it and, I know some people think it’s a bit over the top, but I love it. The scene when the boy dies is always so hard to watch (the addition of Hendrix’s Little Wing definitely hits you). Latino Godfather.

I’m putting this in this thread because it’s considered a good movie but I watched Blood Simple (thanks again Steve, Plex has been immense lately) and I simply did not like it. At all. Characters seemed off, dialogue a little weird, plot a bit off. A lot of the decision making in this movie made zero sense.

I'm still sad I never saw Oppenheimer. I meant to see it the day it came out in IMAX. Fast forward, I haven't even seen it at all. I guess I'm waiting for Netflix or something. I have issues.

First Blood

In the last week…2 more
The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Actually liked it a lot. Very well acted especially Barry Keough or however you spell his name. Got a little religious towards the end (apparently loosely based off Greek tragedy) but kept me interested all the way to its rather quirky ending. Very interesting concept for a movie.
Apocalypse Now. First time in like 30 years I watched it, might as well have been new to me. Just a great flick with incredible sound and sight. How Sheen wasn’t really nominated for anything is nuts to me. The scene when Fishburne’s character gets the tape from his mom is heartbreaking. Bobby Duvall steals his scenes too.
-
I have seen Apocalypse Now a few times, in multiple forms, and it remains possibly the single most overrated movie I have ever seen.

I only know the actor that played Daryl from Red Dawn and The Outsiders. He is perfect in both roles.

Yeah, Robert was a total psychopath and a massive liability which, for me, made him a lot less sympathetic as a character.
Daryl was the only character who was the bigger risk.

I'm not casting judgement on the movie, I'm just not going to a movie theater to watch it. Partly because the first one wasn't good to make me want to, and partly because movie theaters are awful on multiple levels.

And since the only thing I love more than watching movies is nitpicking them (mild spoilers):
-Why did Paul wait to take his hood off, put his goggles on, and re-wrap his hood while he was sprinting towards the sand worm instead of just putting them on when he finished talking to Stilgar?
-What was Baron Harkonnen's weird floating orb thing?
-Why did Baron Harkonnen crawl up the steps to the throne instead of floating? Does he suddenly need the weird floating orb thing to float now?
-Why did they leave Shishakli behind? Wouldn't that just leave the opportunity for her to be become an intel risk?
-Why did Thufir Hawat disappear?
-Why do the Sardaukar suddenly speak English?
-
All of Hawat’s scenes were cut

Had to go out to LA two weeks ago and saw The Holdovers on the way there and Anatomy of a Fall on the way home.
The Holdovers was a great movie, best new movie I’ve seen in a long time. It was funny, even hilarious at times, and touching. I mean, Payne and Giamatti, I was expecting a good movie, but honestly, I may rewatch it again soon because it was that good. Feel good movie, not a lot of those.
Anatomy was also good. A bit long at times and the courthouse scenes a little drawn out (is it really like that in France?) but all-in-all it was a good flick. Acting really out of this world (the freaking dog was amazing) and the depictions and acting of the married couple agonizing. lol, actually enjoy that steel drum version of PIMP.
Edit: thank you Badger.

Dune 2 was good, a lot heavier on long portrait shots of beautiful people than the first but whatever. Those Balenciaga AI trailers kinda nailed this one.
I've seen him in two pretty good projects now and I have no use for Austin Butler. Just stands around and smolders and doesn't do a single interesting thing ever.

So, Late Night With the Devil (thanks to Steve)…good flick. Wouldn’t put it with the greats although it definitely takes themes from The Exorcist (duh), Rosemary’s Baby (thirst for fame) and the Dick Cavett Show. I will say it moved slow at times and the ending, although you know it’s coming, was rather abrupt. Still, great performances especially the host and the girl, and definitely original despite the obvious homages. The last 25 or so minutes were interesting to say the least.
