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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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.

Post by: Ignatius J Reilly on November 22, 2013, 10:06:37 AM
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.
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.

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.

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.

2011: advertising campaign for The Hunger Games begins, I read up on it and think "oh, that sounds like Battle Royale"

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.

Post by: ons on November 23, 2013, 09:55:04 PM
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?
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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
Quote
"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.

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.

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.

I wouldn't. I'd see Inside Llewyn Davis over almost anything else this year. The only clear cut better movie for me was Her.

I still think Mud is my favorite movie this year.
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.

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.

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.

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.

The Millers... I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.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.
good movie though. gotta love the long con.
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.

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.

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.
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.

I second Heismanberg on Short Term 12. Excellent movie that hits you right in the feels. It's a bit harder to get your hands on (meaning no Redbox), but well worth the $2.99 or whatever rental.
On a scale of Joe Philbin's neutral state to The Walking Dead video game, how strong are the feels?

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.

It certainly is not on the same level as Se7en, but I enjoyed it, if a bit less than I hoped to.
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.

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.

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.

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.

He wasn't better than any of the nominees or two guys who weren't nominated.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.
King Of Comedy might just be Scorcese's greatest work.

King Of Comedy might just be Scorcese's greatest work.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.

Silver Linings Playbook was barely more than a year ago, and he was excellent.

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.

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.
Post by: Ignatius J Reilly on February 21, 2014, 08:15:23 AM
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.

They were both great. McConaughey deserved it...two years late for Killer Joe. Leto was awesome, but Fassbender was robbed (in my opinion).

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.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.

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.

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'
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.

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)

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 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?

I like it when there's a gray area. Someone who's a bad guy but you sort of root for them a little.

I was the only straight guy not in tears when I saw The Notebook. I wanted to strangle the young versions, but the old couple was amazing. I admit it, I still tear up at the end a little. Wifey's favorite movie, so been there many times.

I saw it. The funny parts were funny, the serious parts were too melodramatic for my taste. I liked Rob Corddry's heroin party, and TJ Miller was hilarious as the TGIF's waiter on ecstasy.

Watched American Hustle tonight. Took a painfully long time to get going but I ended up enjoying it. Uniformly excellent performances, but the script and the plot left things to be desired. Fun though.
I thought that it was a movie about Amy Adams' and Jennifer Lawrence's funbags.

We just watched Silver Linings Playbook for the second time...although it's a little contrived at times it's a really good movies with some damn good acting. Bradley Cooper plays "crazy" quite well. The scene where he's looking for his wedding tape at 4 am is priceless. I don't want to take away from Jennifer Lawrence's acting, but she is freaking smoking in this movie.
She is smoking in everything.

Has anyone seen The Amazing Spiderman 2 yet? I won tickets on the radio this morning to see it in the "RockBox", the seats move and they blow air on you or some nonsense.
Yes. Saw it. If the RockBox is like D-Box here, it'll be fun. The movie wasn't really anything special. Too bloated, too all over the place, and Paul Giamatti was the worst I've ever seen him.

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.

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
Post by: JFIF on May 29, 2014, 05:46:54 PM
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.

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.

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.

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.

Lol his description of the pantomime was awesome.
Quote
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.

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

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 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.
It was a decent adaptation, but it wasn't word for word. Some really good stuff was left out and a lot of unnecessary stuff was put in (the wife, mostly).

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.

13 Assassins. Awesome so far and also the least disgusting/disturbing Takashi Miike film I've seen.
Great movie.
Post by: Heismanberg on July 18, 2014, 03:41:17 PM
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.

Hmm. I like Kevin Smith generally (although I thought he said he was quitting directing after the excellent Red State?), but the tone of that trailer concerns me - he looks like he's going for comedy and horror, and missing on both counts.
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.

The trailer looks like it's one step away from casting Mike Myers in the lead. I'll give it a chance though.

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.

March of the penguins was so god damn boring.
I got roped into seeing that God damned movie by my best friend's chick, she was supposed to get tickets for another movie. I told my buddy in the middle of the freaking movie within earshot of literally the entire theater, I feel like one of those frozen penguin eggs. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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've been on a Paul Newman love fest the last few weeks, I watched
The Hustler
Cool Hand Luke
The Color of Money
Slap Shot (One of my Fav movies of all time)
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.

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.

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

Actually that might be a little unfair, Asimov is generally credited with coming up with the laws of robotics but other authors have used them before.

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
I was only aware of this because it was an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 lol

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.

SPOILERS
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 reveal the cloning aspect about halfway through the movie when Jackman has David Bowie build his machine.
The real twist was "Christian Bale is a twin". That's how the movie ends and he gets the last laugh.

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.

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.

Saw the Crazies because of Timothy Olyphant , it was ok.

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.

JE, I forget which thread you recommended Dead Man's Shoes, but I just watched it. freaking loved it. It was a solid film until the big reveal, and then my jaw was on the floor for the rest of the movie. Great recommendation to go into it blind.
I figured out the reveal 15 minutes before it happened because of this post.
Didn't ruin the movie though, still really good.

If you're using Netflix Instant, watch the Ti West movies: The Innkeepers, The House of the Devil, and The Sacrament. All three are slow burn, but they are really well done.

He's got The Last of Us coming up, which should be awesome. He's a huge fan of the video game.
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.

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.

Very unusual, very good. The closest movie I can compare it to is Black Swan, but much more of a dark comedy. Keaton, Norton, Stone, Watts, and Galifianakis all do a great job.
Black Swan comparison is high praise. One of those movies my wife and I loved for slightly different reasons. Look forward to seeing it now. Have always loved pretty much the entire cast of this one anyway.

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.

Post by: Miamipuck on October 29, 2014, 10:38:05 AM
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.

Watching Jaws on IFC before I go to work, the story Quint tells about the Indianapolis and all the men in the water being eaten by the sharks after their ship is sank is some great acting.
It's also a true story.
Post by: guinness77 on October 31, 2014, 10:19:20 AM
It's also a true story.I know that. The way Shaw tells the story and the facial expressions of Dreyfuss and Schneider makes the story resonate even more. Some of the best storytelling in a movie I've ever seen from a character.

Relax big guy most people think the story is poppycock. Pretty much the entire portion of Jaws that was on Quint's boat was a spectacular bit of movie making.

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.

Into the Storm - If you liked Twister this is a must watch. And yes, you should be somewhat interested in storms before bothering.
Mazerunner - Solid on many levels. Really enjoyed this one.
Let's Be Cops - Wife wanted to see it. About 100x better then I thought it would be, but my expectations were almost 0, so take that for what it is. Belongs in this thread because I actually laughed and there was a decent story.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - The best 'Apes' movie ever made. They completely abort the history over the last 20 minutes, but if they are going in a different direction I will roll with it.

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.

What We Do in the Shadows was funny as hell.
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.

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.

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.
Saw gone girl yesterday. Didn't know a thing about it. Turned out to be a pretty good flick.

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 don't know what you guys were watching but that was about as riveting a movie I've seen in ages. It was more like a psycho-thriller than a music movie to me.
Riveting, really good movie yes, in my opinion also limited. You don't like that opinion I don't give 3 fucks.

I love how any opinion given that puck disagrees with ends up in some long winded profane diatribe. You can set your watch to it.
Your opinion is freaking stupid that's why.
Edit: I left it there for a while without an edit, you didn't bite. Your opinion isn't stupid it's different. However I felt the movie was lacking depth as JE put it. That doesn't mean it wasn't good or very good. I am sorry for having an opinion contrary to others that it was the bestest movie ever.

To be entirely fair, we went to see it at a casino, and had a little too much time on our hands before the movie.
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.

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.

Post by: Fenwyr on July 13, 2015, 10:42:32 AM
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.
Post by: Heismanberg on July 13, 2015, 01:23:03 PM
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.
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.

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 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.

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

This is Mike Myers:

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.

Nathan (Ex Machina)
Terence Fletcher (Whiplash)
Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood)
The Joker (The Dark Knight)
Alonzo Harris (Training Day)
Lou Bloom (Nightcrawler)
Maybe it's semantics, but aren't Daniel Plainview and Lou Bloom the protagonists?

So it is semantics then? Moreso with There Will Be Blood, I saw Paul Dano as the "villain" in that movie.
I completely get how Plainview is a shitty person and makes fucked up decisions, but he's the main character and you root for him the entire movie. (at least I did)

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.

I hate the one part where they're digging thru the guys leg to find the artery it was pretty realistic, just as bad as the scene with Ribisi in Saving Private Ryan, I am not squeamish but hate those 2 scenes but love the movies. Thankfully they kept it historically accurate.

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.

Summer is also not a bitch in it. She just doesn't want to be with Tom.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.

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.

A movie that was done perfectly, at that. I hate when thy try to re-make movies when there is no possible way to improve upon the original.
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.

John Wick had one of the worst trailers in recent memory
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.
Post by: Ignatius J Reilly on December 15, 2015, 09:11:20 PM
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.
Post by: guinness77 on December 15, 2015, 09:52:55 PM
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.I couldn't agree with that statement anymore. Well put.

The cast is really good. Alia Shawkat, Middleditch (lead from Silicon Valley) , Adam devine, a few others you'll recognize.

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.

Redbox didn't have Bone Tomahawk , so I bought it for 10 bucks on Amazon.
Then I woke up to read it'll be free on Prime tomorrow.

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 can understand how some people wouldn't like it. It might be too intense for some or maybe family oriented people.
Post by: Ignatius J Reilly on January 05, 2016, 09:34:13 PM
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.

Don't know if anyone saw the Batman vs. Superman commercial, but exactly 10 seconds of Eisenberg as Lex Luthor was basically all anyone should need to be sure it will suck.
He's a strange pick for that role. The End of the Tour and The Social Network are two of my favorite films over the past five years though.
He seems really annoying and cartoonish as Luthor.

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....

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.
No offense but that's about the most horrible film review I have ever seen. It wasn't for you and that's fine.
I enjoyed BT more than the Revenant.

He said he felt like it tried too hard to be a Coen bros. Film while I felt it nailed what the Coens do well.
I just liked Bone Tomahawk more . Probably due to a complete lack of expectations going in .
Nevertheless that's my opinion . Lol I know your just the first who will say I'm crazy for thinking so.

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.

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.

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.

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

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).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.
Post by: Coach K on January 25, 2016, 10:51:38 PM
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."
Post by: Coach K on January 25, 2016, 11:01:01 PM
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.

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.I was much younger when I saw it . I vaguely remember it. Just remember it being way better than the rest of these types of movies that were pumped out back in the day .

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.

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.

Last time, he called up Badger and asked him to read from Mein Kampf in a husky voice until he finished.I thought he just kept screaming "make America great again" until he jizzed bald eagles and fireworks.

Realise I'm way behind the times here, but I was surprised at how good Oblivion was.
I watched it once, then found myself watching it by default when nothing else was on. Amazing that Tom Cruise was in 2 of my favorite recent sci-fi movies in as many years.

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.

I watched Creed on a plane yesterday, well done movie. The ending was definitely predictable, but it really didn't bother me. Stallone was definitely solid too, and so was Jordan. I thought the guy who played his rival, Conley(?), was pretty convincing for a boxer.
Pretty Ricky Conlan is played by Tony Bellew, who is an actual fighter.
I hope the sequel has a true villain though.

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.

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.

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 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.

FTR, I never had any issue with the Bane voice--in the Batman movie. I just don't see why he reuse it. It came off as lazy to me.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
Well they could have added funbags. Lol

LOL. It's an absolute classic, which is why it's forgivable to have something so terribly done in it. funbags would have been an improvement. A naked hot chick EPA agent would have turned it into an Oscar winning Best Picture.

Watching Arachnophobia. Something about this movie makes me sit and watch the entire thing from start to finish, even though I've seen it about a million times since I was a kid.
I was trying to remember what this movie was, thought I had it, but realized I was thinking of Eight Legged Freaks. And I've never seen either movie. So yeah.

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.

Even if it wasn't an intentional reference it was an incredibly poor piece of writing and editing, because it sounds like one. The fact that it's in the trailer makes me think it's very much deliberate.

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 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.

I liked all of his films. The happening was obviously at the very bottom, but I didnt hate the movie. The visit was great. The movie would have been good even without the twist.

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.

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.

Stir of Echos from 1999
Watched it totally by random with the wife last night on HBO. Solid thriller, though some of the twists seem commonplace now. Worth a watch if you are a Kevin Bacon fan.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

World War Z, the movie that butchered one of my favorite books, is getting a sequel directed by David Fincher. (!!!)

I'm late to the party. I finally saw Split though. the inevitable Shymalan twist was actually one of the best endings to a movie ive ever seen.
Considering I had been waiting 15 years for an Unbreakable sequel
It's called glass and will be out in 2019 so awhile to go.

Oh I know . I'm amped
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

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

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.

Watched Don't Breathe this weekend. Avoided spoilers, so figured I'd be rooting for the old man. That changed rather quickly lol.

I feel like I've seen a bunch of people in a cabin die one by one and nobody knows who to trust before. Insert evil entity, horrible disease, or psychopathic killer. Movie.

If they ever did the white version of Friday, Vin Diesel could be Deebo.
definitey has the size to play a guy like deebo but vin diesel just looks too 'normal' to be an appropriate analogous character to deebo
due to his size, voice, ugly fucked up face, and the dirty underwear scene, deebo is truly one of the most menacingly disgusting figures in cinematic history

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.

lol, im on an international movie binge at the moment, just watched la haine the other day as well and loved it, will be adding ichi the killer to the list as i have not yet seen it.

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

Still not convinced? I will point you, yet again, in the direction of Vin Diesel riding a wave, on a motorcycle, in the motherfucking ocean.

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?
Post by: Fenwyr on May 28, 2017, 04:07:14 AM
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.

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.Bummer man. I know how much you were looking forward to it. Were you so hype that there was no way it could meet your expectations?

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.

As a stand alone sci-fi movie it was better than good, but not great. I would recommend it.
As a prequel in an existing universe, I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Spoiler
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.

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.
Post by: Fenwyr on September 17, 2017, 09:35:58 PM
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.Just watched this. Not really sure what to say.
Recommend it as a Netflix or Redbox rental.
The trailer may as well have been from a different movie.
I enjoyed it. The acting was top notch. It could have taken place in almost any time period.
Spoliers
So they basically killed the other family because their kid was having fever dreams from the sickness. The only thing that came at night were his dreams and/or hallucinations.

Some hate? It has a 16% on RT. It got almost nothing but hate because it's a complete excrement.

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.

By far the best movie on your list, I loved it. I watched it with the tongue.
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.

I'm hoping to catch that in the theater.
I saw Black Panther yesterday. I know a lot of people have supes fatigue, but that was a great movie. After all the hype, I expected to be let down or at least underwhelmed and I wasn't at all.

The Disaster Artist was amazing.Yes it was. Franco’s accent must have taken him forever to nail and his brother was also fantastic. Seth Rogen and Paul Scheer were also hilarious. A fun movie to watch.
We saw I, Tonya a little while ago too. I liked it but it was a bit over the top for me.

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.

Post by: Heismanberg on June 08, 2018, 09:48:49 AM
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.

Hereditary had one of the most shocking scenes I've ever seen.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.

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.

Hereditary definitely has some jump scares, but they're earned. There's some truly disturbing violence in this as well.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 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.
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.
Post by: guinness77 on June 29, 2018, 06:46:20 AM
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.

Reviews sound promising. A little worried about the runtime being so long, but hopefully it earns every minute of it.

I've never thought of a movie being too long as a standalone criticism.

I usually don’t care but it’s more about time constraints than anything.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.

(Hereditary is one of the best horror movies of the 2000s, possibly ever. It was much better than Midsommar, which I liked as well.)

-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.

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.
Post by: CatoTheElder on November 25, 2019, 08:44:44 AM
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.
Post by: Gorilla on November 25, 2019, 12:09:19 PM
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)
Post by: guinness77 on November 25, 2019, 07:52:37 PM
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.

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.

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

i thought midsommar was very well shot and some of the gorey parts were fvcked up/cool, but i thought the story itself was kind of nonsensical as far as movie making goes. there was no 'justice' in the ending. the girl protagonist is a very unlikeable character

that wasn't in defense of him, he sucked too. i disliked both. i just thought there was some goofy components and nonsensical aspects to the plot
**spoilers**
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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.)
You're Next is great.
Don't Breathe and Hush are both solid.
The Collector always come to mind when I think about home invasion movies.

Prey at Night isn't anything special aside from a pool scene that is extremely memorable.

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.

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 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

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.

Post by: d sw0rdz on October 20, 2020, 04:55:26 PM
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.

the 80s/90s were the best. The music, movies, pop culture, all awesome.

England, so my 80s were actually all about rain lashed coal mines and crippling social deprivation while my transatlantic counterparts were all relying on Edward Woodward to keep them safe on the subway as they travelled home from attempting to make it to the big time at the NY High School for the Performing Arts.

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.

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.
Similar issues with The Prestige, which is his worst movie.

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.

I'm very fond of Tinker Tailor. Gets better every time I watch it.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.

Finally watched A Clockwork Orange tonight and one thing that struck me was how much Mr. Alexander in his wheelchair reminded me of Hector Salamanca on Breaking Bad. The performances have some similar quirks and the latter must have taken inspiration from the former.
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?

Saint Maud is great and one of the more memorable final shots in recent memory.
The reimagining of Wrong Turn was kind of like an Appalachian version of Midsommar (but don't hold them to the same standard). I thought it was just okay, but the ending elevated it. It has some gnarly kill too.

A Quiet Place Part II wasn't quite up to the standard of the original, but still very good. Bit more of a straightforward creature feature than the first one.
It was good. I didn't think Krasinski was going to make this into a trilogy though (yes, there's a 3rd coming down the pipe).

I feel like The Kid could have been very good if not for the casting. Dane DeHaan isn't charismatic enough to carry the movie and Chris Pratt is not at all convincing as a villain. You put somebody like a young Ben Foster in the Billy role and it would have worked much better.

I do, he's second on my list. Don't always agree but I always respect his arguments.
I think he, like Ebert, are impeccably well-educated about the language and history of film, but they both manage to avoid that off-putting film snob pretentiousness. They can evaluate arthouse and slapstick for what they are without sniffing their own farts.

Watched Nobody last night, only putting it in here because we don't have a thread called Meh Movies. It's funny at times and well filmed and the use of music is excellent, but the story is incredibly flimsy with ludicrous plot holes and the action sequences are only OK. I've seen comparisons to John Wick and I think that's incredibly generous, JW is massively superior.
It was filmed in Winnipeg, my gym trainer was one of the guys holding a gun to Odenkirk's head in one of the shots. Automatic 5 honks.

I think both have their issues. If you've never seen Infernal Affairs (the movie on which The Departed is based), go for The Departed. Wolf Of Wall Street is fun, but morally problematic.

The reviews I'm seeing for Dune are that if you liked the books then you will like the movie, but if you haven't read them then it's probably not for you.
I mean it has an 89% on RT.
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 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'll just watch anything Villeneuve does at this point.

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 do you know Moneypenny doesn't want to fick the next 007? Actually I'm now even more behind the fan campaign to get Gillian Anderson the next role.

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.I cant tell if youre joking....
Is every james bond since the 70s supposed to be the same james bond?
Even if it is why can't they just say this is the end of the Craig era

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.

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.

Yeah maybe you're right.
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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Great:
Goodfellas
Taxi Driver
Good:
Mean Streets
The Departed
Cape Fear
The Color of Money
Solid:
Casino
The Irishman
Shutter Island
TBD if/when I get to them:
The Wolf of Wall Street
Raging Bull
Gangs of New York (I honestly can't remember how much of it I saw so I can't offer a real opinion)
The Aviator
Hugo
Silence
Bringing Out the Dead
After Hours

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.

Bringing Out the Dead
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.
Post by: MBGreen on December 17, 2021, 08:57:04 AM
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.
Post by: CatoTheElder on December 17, 2021, 09:08:49 AM
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
Who's That Knocking on my Door

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 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 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.

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.

Post by: Badger on January 13, 2022, 11:59:09 AM
Woo hoo!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.
I watched Venom: Let The Be Carnage last night. Would anyone like my review?
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.

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.
Clearly written by someone who hasn't seen the movie.

Well, it was either a halfback pass, a screen writer who didn't know anything about football, or both.

Well, it was either a halfback pass, a screen writer who didn't know anything about football, or both.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.
But probably just bad writing.

I thought about that but I didn't want to give the writer that much credit.
Also Moseby and the character seem to be talking at the same level rather than Moseby talking down to 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.^ woman's descent into madness, becomes the witch she was feared to be by the townsfolk.
As for the ending I'm not sure. Was it a dreamscape of Alburn's past or a bad trip from toxic shroons?

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.

Daniels’ latest project, the wild martial-arts multiverse fantasy Everything Everywhere All at Once, continues the trend with bloody murder-dildos, weaponized snot, and a fast-paced, hilarious anal-insertion war.

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'm not sure topgun 2 is a good movie, but I enjoyed it.
Everyone I've known who has seen it has good things to say about it.
As someone who is currently on their way out of the military, I really don't have any appetite for a 2 hour recruitment poster.

Everyone I've known who has seen it has good things to say about it.As someone who works in military recruitment the only thing that was overt was making sure everyone realize topgun is navy and not airforce. They mentioned and showed it throughout, that being said I was purposefully looking for it.

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.

The Loved Ones was a pretty great first feature, I'm surprised the director hasn't done more since then.

The Devil's Candy was pretty good, but nothing I'd need to re-watch. The idea and plot were very interesting, so maybe I was unimpressed by Embry in the lead?
The Loved Ones was WAY better, imo. That one I'd recommend for any horror fan. The psycho girl was perfectly cast and was great in it.

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.

He certainly didn't. And I think he has blood lust, because that was gory.
Good movie though.
I get the feeling you'll appreciate this.

Co-signed, though the gulf between Predator and Prey is wide. Best action movie of all time.

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.
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 things in a community setting is fun. Being scared with other people is fun. If the theater was full of people talking about things not involving the movie then I would be upset, but that's not what we are talking about here.
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.Well, as usual, you’re wrong.

It was very good, which is why I said
There were some clever bits of writing and filmmaking
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 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.

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.

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.

I agree and I liked all of those things, they fall into the category of good writing that I already mentioned.

It’s not a perfect film because Justin Long didn’t say: “juggy wuggy mommy milkers”Needed a 7 minute monologue written by Sorkin explaining why the real barbarians are people who stifle public discourse.

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.

There's a lot of Letterboxd reviews describing it as a vampire movie. Not sure what movie those people watched.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.

Abusive drunk dad.

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.

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?

This isn't a rhetorical question: what would be an original theme/topic/plot point that you wished was explored?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 movieI 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.

It really, really annoys me when movies put gags in trailers that clearly belong in the movie, and which are now ruined by having already seen it in the trailer.

🍿 “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

Jesus. We have Regal Unlimited and try and see two movies a month. I don't know how the freak you watch some much a year.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.

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.Little-known fact: Elvis won all three of his Grammy Awards in gospel categories.

it was from one of the weeknd's earliest mixtapes -- house of balloons

You can successfully argue for it. I don't know if I could put it over the Three Flavours Cornetto trilogy but nostalgia may keep me from being objective.

I'd definitely put it over The World's End.
Because Hot Fuzz exists
This more than anything is what's stopping me.

Yeah, out of the trilogy, it is the one I revisited the least. I watched Shaun of the Dead on new years with the family.

Shaun of the Dead was the reigning #1 but Hot Fuzz grew on me every time I rewatched it to the point that it took over the top spot.
The World's End might actually be my least favorite Edgar Wright movie.

Nothing like a combination of Elvis and Baz Luhrmann to keep me the freak away from a movie.
I'm not a huge fan of either, but this really worked.

I fully expected to hate Scott Pilgrim and absolutely loved it. Wright movies in order, for me:
1. Baby Driver
2. Scott Pilgrim
3. Shaun Of The Dead
4. Last Night In Soho
5. Hot Fuzz
6. World's End

man, i may spend the better part of the next week watching all of his other films again. good list. i think my top 2 ends up consisting of scott pilgrim and baby driver as well.
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.
It also helps that "Goodbye Stranger" is one of my favorite songs.

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.

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.Ye like me lobster, don't ye?

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

Tar - excellent movie, outstanding performance, ending was a bit clumsy but definitely worth watching all the same.
Ocean's 8 - does what it says on the tin. Forgettable, silly fun.
Dr Sleep - way better than I expected it to be, but we should always trust Flanagan.
Scott Pilgrim vs The World - still awesome. Will never not be a great way to spend a couple of hours.

lmao i buy that. adam driver as a character himself was a little boring and not very compelling. but the aspects of the movie regarding the history of paterson, landmarks in paterson, poetry, things he saw/heard from people living in the city, his friends, his significant other, the young girl poet, and the japanese poet were all things i liked very much.
the movie came to mind recently after we drafted carter warren

this is going to be bleak
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.

When it first came out I thought the premise was stupid but having finally watched it I must admit The Black Phone is a good movie.
I remember thinking it would have worked better as a bottle episode/movie. Cut the whole sister plot out, start the movie with the kid waking up, end it on him walking out.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Meh movies can be tentatively placed in the Middling Movies thread, where they will await confirmation by our resident Canadians.

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.Well now I have to see this.

It was sometime right after the dinner sceneThat was probably the most confusing part of the movie. Age jumps, time jumps, scenes kinda morphing…it was all over the place. Watch it again, it’s still a bit confusing afterward lol, but worth it imo.

Classically dumb horror trope there. A cross nailed to the floorboards beneath which there's a box. Hey, let's remove the cross and open the box, what could go wrong?
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I tried to watch Oppenheimer on a flight, right up until some chick started riding some dude's dong like a cowboy, and I had an old lady sitting next to me. Had to stop that so she didn't hit me with her purse.Plot twist: you join the mile high club with Bea Arthur

I was recovering from food poisoning, she could have had her way with me and I had no choice.

Civil War, Monkey Man, Abigail, Boy Kills World, Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare are all out right now, probably in that order that I want to see them. If we pick a freaking tight end tonight I might ragequit the draft this year and make it a movie marathon weekend.

I thought Abigail looked like another generic creepy kid type deal but the trailer sold me and it's getting decent reviews.

Monkey Man rules. Abigail is my next $7 Tuesday Alamo movie.
