I need to know some good movies to see. Went to go see 1408, it was ok, gets 3 out of 5 stars! Seems like everything is more geared to kids now!
Recommend DVDs also! Thanks!
-
golden door was fantastic. best movie i've seen thus far this year.
avenue montaigne
once
knocked up
ratatouille
are all in cinema
on dvd, i just watched vera drake. very good. but i really like mike leigh films.
-
I would say Sicko...very powerful movie...
I also recommend La Vie en Rose, the biopic about Edith Piaff, and there's a new Werner Herzog flick about a POW, cant remember its name and I havent seen it yet, but I will...
-
Sicko was good, but it could have been better. I saw La Vie en Rose earlier this week and loved it.

Rescue Dawn...it got a really good review in the NY Times.
I just watched Breach and Little Children (both came out on DVD recently) and thought they were really good as well.

transformers . . . where only the one who talks "black" dies. i can't believe that some people think michael bay did it on purpose. there's also an interesting preview for some unnamed, mysterious film from the guy who did lost, that comes out in jan. '08.

Rather odd to announce a film six months in advance to open in January. That month is a traditional dumping ground for bombs. What will probably happen is the movie will open in December in LA & NY for Oscar consideration then open widely in 1/08.

Transformers
Knocked Up
You Kill Me [i want to see this badly]
THose were great. Dvd?
Lucky Number Slevin
The Fifth Element
Brick
Children of Men
-
Transformers first half is good and funny. The action scene in the end is pretty meh.

yeah, breach was quite interesting.
i found little children to be too much though, i just rented it the other night and thought there was just too much going on with the plot.
notes on scandal just came out on dvd which is good.
this is england is released here in the states at the end of the month, i really enjoyed the film and i hope maybe E street will show it as i'd love to see it again.

Link to previous Recommended Movies thread (http://www.930.com/cgi-bin/ubb-cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=015505)
In addition to Once, which I think is one of the best movies of the year, I saw Ratatouille last night and I'd definitely recommend that. The animation is Pixar's best yet, and it might be Pixar's funniest movie.
-
I thought transformers was a terrible mess. It was funny at times but none of the robots get any character development, it spends way too much time on the wrong things, and every battle scene is a whirlwind of scrap metal where you don't know what's going on. It was a pretty sad experience for someone who grew up with them. I wish I'd seen the new Die Hard instead. Oh, and John Turturro gets peed on by bumblebee which is probably the worst thing I've ever seen on film.
Knocked up was really funny but slow paced and felt a little too long (like 40 year old virgin did...maybe Apatow needs a different editor?).
Friends say the new harry potter is the Empire Strikes Back of that series if you care about that.
I'm really looking forward to Sunshine in a couple weeks.
I also just saw Bullets over Broadway for the first time a couple weeks ago and loved it.
-
i really liked Ratatouille, partially because i cook for a living, but also because it was a really good movie. i though 1408 was kinda cheesy, and ive been wanting to see sicko, but will probably wait till i can rent it.
-
there is an anagram to the fake working title of the abrams movie--cloverfield--but not sure yet why it's important. i feel they are going to try the mysterious "lost" approach to a film, and bomb bigger than you can say the blair witch afterparty.

I don't think this is going to be an oscar contender. Don't get me wrong, the preview looks great, but I also wondered why they'd dump it in January if it was so good.
I really liked Little Children a lot, but much of that was because I live on a park where there are dozens of mini-dramas like that going on -- and my wife fills me in on the details every night whether I want them or not.
Right now I'm digging the Planet Earth DVDs. Didn't catch them on broadcast, but am loving it now. Totally worth it.
-
recently got Children of Men and The Fountain from netflix... both were excellent.
-
In the other movie thread "Raising Victor Vargas" is mentioned...I watched it...It was all right. Curious why some of you LOVE the movie?
"Once" - this should be required viewing for everyone.
-
So with all the raves for "Once," are any of you going to see The Swell Season on July 26?? Seems like there's been very little interest around here...
-

That's a good question. I'm one of those who love that movie. I think I love it for two aspects in particular: (1) The cinematography on that film is absolutely gorgeous. You might have to have an eye for cinematography to fully appreciate it though. It's not like the kind where the scenery is beautiful; it's the kind where the shots are framed just perfectly and the camera moves are incredibly well done. (2) Even more importantly, the writing is superb. The dialogue is very life-like, and the characters just seem so human. I think it's marvelous. I love the acting and the actors, too. The casting is perfect. OK, that makes three things. :)

Oh, yeah, I'm definitely going. I'm really looking forward to it. I don't know what the interest level is here on the forum, but I only had to mention it to some friends of mine who don't normally go to many concerts and they leaped at the chance. I'm bringing four friends. If the movie had received even slightly wider distribution, I'm sure I'd know a few more who would attend, too.
-
of course! i'll be there. brennser as well, i would expect.

Superbad is showing tonite for free in DC. Copy of your myspace profile as your pass...I can't find the link right now though.

I really enjoyed Andrew Bujalski's films "Funny Ha Ha" and "Mutual Appreciation" (both available from Netflix). They seem to be pretty polarizing as far as whether or not people like them, though. The two dudes from Bishop Allen, Justin and Christian, have the lead in each film.
Klosterman raved about them in Esquire. Review in Esquire (http://www.esquire.com/features/chuck-klostermans-america/klosterman0507)

"Little Children" was a good film. Knew nothing about it going in except Kelly Leak from "Bad News Bears" played a sex offender. It was very original that touched on some interesting issues and featured some great acting performances.

Yup. I was looking forward to the seated affair. Either way, should be good. If I'm not here, I'm going to try another show elsewhere.

This show sold out in SF a lot faster than I thought it would.
And they can't take the church pews out to add more seats...
-
I like that for the trailer to Primer, there's a picture of an Aspergillus fruiting body.
Movie wise, if you haven't seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind yet, I'd recommend that. The new one, Science of Sleep was pretty good too.
-
I haven't seen any movies in the theater lately, but wanted to recommend some DVD's:
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Kung Fu Hustle (this is pretty campy but I dig it)
Snatch
The Professional
...and I 2nd Eternal Sunshine.
-
The Professional is one of my all time faves.
-
Happiness

Don't go see the new Lindsay Lohan flick, no good. Good thing I went to see it for free.

If you haven't seen them, go out and rent 'The Bourne Identity' and 'The Bourne Supremacy' - then go to the theater and see 'The Bourne Ultimatum'.
That's what I did these past two weeks and I tell you those movies kick ass! Bourne Ultimatum has some incredible action scenes.

This was my last Netflix DVD. I tried to watch it, on two separate occasions-- I couldn't get into it.
My suggestion: Before Midnight. I'm a sucker for Ethan Hawke/Julie Delpy.

"the station agent"
on DVD.
One of my all time favorite movies. The director's other two films, The Visitor and Win Win are also fantastic.
And I didn't realize he was also on The Wire!
-
Over the weekend I watched Goon and Dredd [both available on Netflix] and Goon is actually a pretty charming movie. Seann William Scott stars in this along with Liev Shriver [sp?] about a bouncer who turns into an enforced in a minor league hockey team. It's a crude comedy, but it has a ton, ton, ton of heart. Absolutely loved it. I highly recommend giving it a view. I watched with 2 lady friends who were very opposed to it [Hate hockey and Sean William Scott] but they were hooked.
Dredd was about as action packed as you'd imagine. I truly enjoyed it for what it was, just a shoot em up action movie. It's worth a view if you're into that kind of thing.
Went to see Machete Kills. Dear god. The over the top violence is so insanely entertaining. Perfect sequel to a perfectly made homage to old grindhouse mexplotation movies lol. The end also leads into a follow up that seems like it's more insane that the previous 2.
-
Saw the new Salinger documentary (available on Netflix) last night. Really, really good. Incidentally, I also bought the book a few weeks ago, it's dreadful. But go see the doc.

Saw Jodorowsky's Dune last night at E St Cinema, amazing documentary about a movie that was never made.

My suggestion: Before Midnight. I'm a sucker for Ethan Hawke/Julie Delpy.
Agreed. But, it helps to have seen Before Sunset and Before Sunrise first. Do guys like these movies? Or are they a girl thing? I don't think they're chick flicks, but I also don't know many guys who like them.
-
I liked them, and I'm a guy.
Saw Nebraska last night. Probably my favorite of the Oscar nominated films I've seen (still need to see Wolf, Hustle, and Her).

I personally don't know how you don't love them, as they're some of my favorite movies ever, but I can also understand why some people would not.
Glad to hear Birdman was good. Looking forward to seeing it.
I need some good movie recommendations. I feel like I haven't seen a really good one in a while.

I've heard nothing but amazing things about Snowpiercer. It just went up on Netflix over the weekend. It's been on my list. Rotten Tomatoes has it up to 95%, if that means anything to you. I watched the trailer after seeing The Hunger Games and thought it kind of looked the same. Except a train is involved. Still, I've heard great things. Will also be heading out opening day to see Interstellar.

We watched "The Reader" last night and it's very well done...

Saw it. Was underwhelmed. Like a fucked up Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Too many holes and so predictable!
-
I tried to watch Snowpiercer twice and couldn't make it to the end without giving up. I didn't see why it was so well-regarded; but then again, I am not big on sci-fi or graphic novels.

I'll give it a shot. It was weird seeing Hunger Games then seeing that trailer. All I could think of was "So, Hunger Games, minus the games, plus a train?"
Also so Purge 2: whatever it's called, I like the concept, but it's more of a Thriller/Adventure than a Horror movie to me. I could see these going on for years like the Saw series though. Seeing as how the 2nd ends with....well, no spoilers... Also saw "House Of The Devil" it has an insanely creepy build up, but was underwhelmed by the ending.
-
I'm interested in giving Snowpiercer a chance although its definitely not a genre I usually enjoy. Glad for the heads up its on Netflix now. I think Nebraska hits Netflix this week as well which I've wanted to see.

Nebraska is the last really really good movie I saw. Loved it.
Snowpiercer is less Hunger Games+train and more Willy Wonka+end of the world+train

Worth watching on netflix though. I was pissed I paid for ondemand to see it.

A good summary of what's coming out from now to the end of the year:

Skeleton Twins, St. Vincent and Love is Strange were all very good
-
The Drop, no dvd release date yet though. Tom Hardy is really good in this film.

Whiplash was as intense as it sounds like it will be. Definitely delivered. Liked it quite a lot.

I was hoping for more action in this movie. Tom Hardy is awesome in it though. Was kind of let down, but it's worth a view.
Need to catch: Nightcrawler, St Vincent, and Fury.

finally playing in Baltimore starting this Friday...
Whiplash was as intense as it sounds like it will be. Definitely delivered. Liked it quite a lot.

Over the weekend:
1. Snowpiercer: I'm not a sci-fi guy by any means, but I really enjoyed this. I guess I am a fan of a well made popcorn thriller, and for me, this is what it was. We broke it down into three viewing segments (60-10-55, more a function of having a kid than something that was necessitated by the film), maybe that helped.
2. Witching and Bitching: One review said this was "the best Almodovar film not made by Almodovar", and another said it was a combination heist/horror/comedy. I started watching with low expectations (nobody is as good as Almodovar, I hate most horror movies), but ended up being completely entertained.
3. The Tale of Princess Kaguya: My daughter and wife are the Japanese animation film fans in the family, I just tagged along to the theater. My daughter said she liked it, but she clearly wasn't as enthused as she was about some of the Miyazaki films, not to mention Frozen (though she clearly liked it better than that awful Lego Movie!). My wife (and I) agreed with the WashPo reporter that the film was too long and the plot too thin. It would have been better at 90 minutes rather than 135.
-
Caught Interstellar last night. Fantastic. Talk about feelings.
-
Excited to see that one.
-
snowpeircer - weird, but I liked it. now on Netflix, don't think I would have paid for it. The Willie wonaka ref was spot on.
I'm going to check out his first movie the Host
-
I finally watched Snowpiercer, it was actually OK for me not being a fan of that genre particularly. The part where they first get to the children's school car, or whatever, is really jarring and surreal and I thought it was really clever in the middle of the film.
It was a little on the nose about obvious political analogies, but all and all, I did not feel like I wasted 2 hours on it. Solid B-/B.
-
Saw Snowpiercer the other night as well. I think 95% on Rotten Tomatoes is a wee bit high. It's a good movie. I just think that premise of the dystopian future has been overdone. It reminded me a lot of the game Bioshock. It had a little of every one of those types of movies. I was more trying to wrap my head around how big that train was and wondering if people from the dentist trains had to walk through the nightclub train to get to the sauna train.... Kind of funny. It was a alright.
Also, they showed a preview for "Chappie", which is the new film from the guy who did Disttrict 9, and it looks like Baby and Ninja from Die Antwoord are in the movie lol.
-
Die Antwoord are definitely in Chappie.

That isn't his first movie... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0094435/?ref_=tt_ov_dr#director
It is however, really good. I love Korean cinema and the Host did not disappoint.
Speaking of Korean cinema, did anyone see Chingu 2 (Friend 2) yet? The first one was so good...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friend:_The_Great_Legacy
I was worried 2 might not be great... But it does have the same director so I plan on watching it one of these days.

Their imagery is always very cool. Their videos are super cool. I love their music but a lot of people don't... It was funny to see them playing themselves [I think] in the trailer. I thought Elysium was a little preachy, but I think I can get down with Chappie.
-
Chappie looks pretty preachy too, at least in the preview I saw...
-
It looks less preachy. Elysium might as well have been a filibuster about immigration. I got the idea with District 9, dude.
-
who can i chat about birdman with?

Chat away.
I thought it was excellent. Loved the soundtrack. Edward Norton was great.
-
Gone Girl - meh.
It wasn't bad, but I think it's probably better if one hasn't read the book. The biggest flaw was that Amy was never sympathetic in the film. It just plays like a psycho wife thriller (not that she isn't more than a little psycho). Her character was more well rounded in the book.
-
Actually the one thing I liked about the Gone Girl movie was how empty Amy seemed. I really liked that part. I loved the way it was filmed, but I could have just waited for netflix.
Speaking of Netflix, FINALLY saw The Master. Loved it. Pissed I didn't get a chance to see it in the theater.

Caught Nightcrawler last night. That Jake Gyllenhal was great. Movie was entertaining. Don't know if I'll watch it again though. Some parts seemed to drag a bit.
They showed a preview for the new Franco/Rogen flick "The Interview". They are a duo on a popular late night talk show and are asked to interview Kim Jong Un, but the CIA intervenes and asks them to assasinate Kim. Hijinks ensue!
-
i rewatched eyes wide shut last night. its sucks to realize that you loved a movie simply for the fact of the name attached. the acting was good and the visuals in parts were nice . . . but it is not that great of a film. oh well. im off to watch barry lyndon on this one day off i have, in a while, but its ok.
-
who can i chat about birdman with?
Chat away.
I thought it was excellent. Loved the soundtrack. Edward Norton was great.
were you pleased with the ending? it left me feeling... empty? unfulfilled? I don't know. i'm still torn on that bit.
Edward Norton WAS great and Naomi Watts is at her best when she's playing airheaded, disaffected celebs (i.e. huckabees)

I definitely liked the ending (but I also liked the final scene of the Sopranos). It left a lot to the imagination and there were a number of different ways to take it - some joyful, some cynical, and yes, some empty. I thought the ending fit in with the 'feel' of the movie - i.e., some of the unreality.
-
My wife rented Skelton Twins over the weekend assuming it was a comedy based off the actors in the film, holy shit... one of the most depressing movies I've seen in a very long time.

We watched The Interview the other night... definitely entertaining.

Assuming you have a cable provider, I'm pretty sure most services are offering it for $5 or so OnDemand.

i live in the national forest . . . we watch possums, raccoons and skunks the size of small dogs, as our on demand entertainment.

Just watched Boyhood and I thought it was great. Stamina for the project is impressive, but end product stands on its own

I used to have a pet skunk. Also had a tarantula, which was handy in getting rid of unwanted house guests. (The band that I had the longest span better times seeing them in concert is the Stones, almost 24 years. December 18, 1981 Hampton, VA - October 6, 2005 Charlottesville, VA.)
-
Wild was a solid B-. I didn't read the book, but I imagine they tried to jam a lot of book into a little movie so important things seem hinted at but never fully fleshed out. The scenery alone makes it worth viewing.
I really liked Boyhood, but I don't know how much of that was just because the production format was so unique and how much was because of the story. Either way, definitely worth seeing if you have not already.
-
Foxcatcher- Carell like you've never seen him before-eerie!!!
-
Saw Fury the other night. Really good. Thought all the actors were great in their roles.
-
Force Majeure - you should see this on the big screen (still showing at Anjelika Pop-Up in DC)

I loved Wild. I was afraid it was going to be Eat Pray Love in the woods, but it wasn't. I read the book after I saw the movie. Book was good too.
Have Boyhood on deck. So many people loved it, and I love the Before Sunrise series, that I just bought the blu-ray.
-
I liked Fury well enough.
Saw Gone Girl over the holiday. What stinking pile of horseshit of a movie.

The composer in question is Mica Levi, aka Micachu, the 27-year-old classically trained multi-instrumentalist best known for her experimental pop with Micachu and the Shapes. ?Mica is very insightful and intuitive,? Glazer recently told Pitchfork. ?We had a lot of discussions about what sounds might work and what wouldn?t, and when we heard the ones that sounded right, they became the language for the film. All those bendy and stretched notes just felt correct. It came half from the heart, half from the head.? Glazer?s use of ?language? is apt, as the music really does speak for Skin?s characters and situations, especially since there are, at most, 50 lines of dialogue throughout the film?s 108 minutes. As Levi explained, the music is ?supposed to feel like a life-form you can?t quite understand, but it?s carrying on relentlessly, like a beehive

totally wrote this movie off as drivel, now I'm intrigued

although seems like this would be better on the big screen with the big soundsystem

Seeing as we're in a forum for a concert venue, I feel like most of you will adore 'Whiplash' just as much as I did. I've seen it twice and came to conclusion that it is my favorite of the year. Too bad it'll most likely be completely overlooked by the academy.
-
so much homophobia in Whiplash - yes I hope it gets overlooked in the screenplay category!
is it really possible to have blood on the drum kit ? playing jazz?
-
Yes, a jazz drummer could bloody their hands while playing. (no knowledge of the movie, just stating a fact about drumming/drummers)

Although a side plot gets in the way that schmaltzes it up a bit (the whole thing could trim by 12-15 mins anyway), the initial premise is way way cool and is based on a real event: A musician learns, 34 years later, that John Lennon sent him a personal letter. This fact brings him to re-evaluate his life and he wonders what life woulda been like had he received the letter in 1971, esp since the letter contained Lennon's personal phone number.
The movie totally fictionalizes a plot after that but it's still decent to watch. And the cast: Al Pacino, Bobby Cannavale, Annette Benning, Christopher Plummer, Jennifer Garner.

Can someone please recommend their favorite rock documentaries? Have been really into them lately. Just watched Who is Harry Nilson. Loved it. A plus if it's on netflix, amazon prime, or HBOGo.

Excellent, I heard that a Japanese version came out but it was one of those weird region issues and you couldn't watch it
That youtube was a trailer not the whole movie.
Did come across this but haven't had a chance to view it
?Another State Of Mind,? from 1982 is a very cool documentary of a summer punk rock tour with Social Distortion, Youth Brigade, and Minor Threat. Mike Ness, Keith Morris and various street kids explain the scene, slam dancing, discrimination of punks, among other social commentary. This ?Decline of the Western Civilization? style doc makes me miss my punk rock roots growing up in SoCal. Viva La Revolution!
?People say that punks are rebels without a cause, but that?s not true, I mean we have plenty of things to fight for? -Shawn Stern
Another State Of Mind (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpnz4i5rAzo) looks like the whole thing
-
Watched Muscle Shoals this weekend. Really awesome.
-
I saw Wild Tales at E Street Cinema the other week, best movie I've seen in quite some time.
-
Was told over the weekend that "It Follows" was a fun movie. Was also intrigued by "Ex Machina"... Anyone seen either of these? Wanna head out to the movies and catch one of these.

AV Club Picks Best Movies of the Decade (so far) (http://www.avclub.com/article/100-best-films-decade-so-far-1-20-217530)
Don't know about The Master as #1. Great movie? Sure. The best one? I don't know.
I heartily approve the choice of A Separation at #2. If you told me I was going to love an Iranian domestic drama, I would have said you were crazy. But the characters and the storytelling made the film awesome. One of the best movie endings ever.
-
I think The Master is legitimately one of the best films of all time.
-
Dang, I'm so behind on movies. Surprised to see Scott Pilgrim on that list. Super fun movie though.
-
We saw While We're Young this weekend. What a waste of time. Just once I would like to see a movie about people who don't have kids who just are FINE not having them. It's very annoying. The whole movie was annoying. Ugh.
-
I saw Boyhood when it debuted on Showtime this weekend. It was an odd film but I liked it alot. It's hard to determine how much of that was from the unusual concept versus the actual story/acting/etc. I'll probably watch it again in a few months.
-
Ok still really no new news on this....but there is a Blade Runner 2 (http://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2015/feb/27/blade-runner-2-harrison-ford-ridley-scott-10-things-to-hope-for) coming out
It?s official: Blade Runner 2 is on, and the boys are back together again. Original director Ridley Scott is producing, Harrison Ford is back as detective Deckard, and the screenplay is co-written by the original?s Hampton Fancher, based on an idea by him and Scott. Prisoners/Enemy director Denis Villeneuve is due to direct it next summer, and Ford says the script is ?the best thing he?s ever read?. Is it too good to be true?
but I hate to get my hopes up as I know they are going to screw it up
-
sounds like they will ruin the life that is the first film. and besides, can we get back to talking about that prince albert of yours. oh, my.
-
I must be the only person on the planet earth, that thinks the new Avengers movie, was a piece of shit.
-
Did anyone see Mad Max? Thought it was super fun. It's insanely unapologetic about it being "Cars exploding for 2 hours. Deal with it." lol
-
that's next on my list! Saw a trailer for a new Adam Sandler film about video games that attack the earth. It looks like the biggest piece of shit ever created.
-
I must be the only person on the planet earth, that thinks the new Avengers movie, was a piece of shit.
I assumed it was but I haven't seen it as I am a grown adult.

Ooh, ooh . . . I wanna see that so bad. I got 75 dollars left on my fandango card and will go crazy this weekend!
-
I enjoyed Ex Machina.
I thought it was one of the best looking movies of the year. The movie itself kind of drags in points. The ending was cool. Probably won't watch it again.

-

Also, not really a zombie movie, but Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil is a damn entertaining comedy/horror along the lines of Shaun Of The Dead and Zombieland.
-
We are also forgetting Bubba Ho Tep
-
in my opinion, which means what outside of my mind, the greatest zombie anything of all time, is return of the living dead, which someone already mentioned. I give, silent moments on honor to that film and the line of 'send more cops' will last forever.
-
Was told over the weekend that "It Follows" was a fun movie. Was also intrigued by "Ex Machina"... Anyone seen either of these? Wanna head out to the movies and catch one of these.
Since horror is the topic of the day; yes to It Follows. It Follows is an excellent movie with an interesting premise. Rent/download/stream/buy it soon, it is definitely something I would recommend as an avid horror movie fan.
Edit: I just noticed this is from months ago (I searched for the movie title in the thread to see if anyone mentioned it).

ummm Trainspotting 2 (http://consequenceofsound.net/2015/09/trainspotting-2-to-be-danny-boyles-next-project/)
all the original cast...well except Kevin McKidd
I thought the book 'porno' was just meh (compared to Trainspotting)
but I have faith that Boyle will do this right
-
Funny. I just found my autographed copy of Porno while moving. Markie and LuLu snagged me a copy and inside, Irvine wrote "Smackie, stop reading out loud!"
It's brilliant, really.

Ryan Gosling is a great choice for Blade Runner 2.
Yeah, and I got Harrison back. Because Harrison said, ?Meh,? and I said, ?No, read this.? And I think he said, ?This is the best script I?ve ever had.? We?ve been working on it for a couple of years.
You once said he?s a Replicant in the first one.
Of course he?s a bloody Replicant! He?s going to have to admit it.

On Friday night, I hosted "Scary Movie Night" for a pile of 11 yr olds, all full of balls and bravery about watching the scariest movie ever even though most (including my son) had never seen a real horror movie. I wanted to scare them poopless but also remember that they're 11 so after we debated Nightmare on Elm Street, the original Alien, and Halloween, we somehow settled on the original Poltergeist.
And holy shit, that movie is MUCH scarier than I'd remembered. And man did it ever hit my nostalgia pleasure centers having been 11 yo when it was filmed. And the kids were absolutely terrified. It's the perfect 'first horror movie' for kids because while it's scary as hell, no one dies and there's no gore apart from that bathroom mirror scene.
A+ would watch again
-
Watched Insidious over the weekend, was surprised at how left field it goes at the end. It was creepy/weird enough and then it just goes off the deep end. Although I'm also kind of happy to see movies kind of stay dedicated to their weirdness lol.
Also caught Sicario. Damn good movie! Would definitely suggest if you're a fan of police drama/drug cartel type movies. The lead actress gets a little annoying, but Benicio Del Toro and Josh Brolin are great.

Insidious 2 is pretty good too. I also really enjoyed Insidious 3, the prequel. It tells the story of how the investigation team was formed. I watched it a week ago.
-
Oh that prequel sounds wicked! I did like how it ended with the super ominous tone but super obviously open ended for a sequel.

I was just talking about how Poltergiest was way scarier this weekend! So far, our scary movies this year were The Exorcist (yes, I'd never seen it. I didn't really like it. It was gross and not scary), Rosemary's Baby, Zombieland (an annual tradition, whatever happened to the sequel?), Halloween, Babadook, and Charlie Brown.

K8t, you mentioned, on this very page!, two movies that I need to get around to watching: Rosemary's Baby and Babadook. I've heard Babadook is difficult/un-fun to watch if you're a parent. I can't stand kids-in-peril movies, and this did affect me while watching Poltergeist but I knew no one dies so I wasn't that bent outta shape about it.
Oh yeah, also watched It Follows a week or so ago. A lotta hype for a perfectly fine horror movie that I'll never think about again. Interesting concept though.
Just downloaded Bone Tomahawk, a horror-western, and am looking forward to checking that out this week.
-
Also caught Paranormal Activity 2. The first one scared me pretty good, they did a great job building the tension and intensity of the film. Part 2 goes for a lot more cheap scares that come off as corny and trying to recapture what made the original so great. The eeriest parts are just the single angle shots of nothing happening and the tension building for what seems like minutes for a chilling reveal. I wasn't interested enough to catch the 3rd one.
I HIGHLY suggest VHS and VHS 2. Still haven't watched VHS Viral yet. VHS are awesome horror movies. Super crazy, super intense, insanely creepy, and some bits are truly violent.

oooh! Didn't know you could download Bone Tomahawk! Legally? Really excited for that.
Babadook maybe would be tough if you're a parent? I felt really badly for the mom. But, it was good.
Rosemary's Baby was definitely the hit of the season. Just awesome. Need to get to the other 2 in the trilogy.
-

You can rent it from amazon. That's legal enough for me.

Was underwhelmed. Probably my least favorite of all of his films. Not sure why it rubbed me the wrong way. I thought some parts were great and it didn't really drag [considering it's almost 3 hour run time], and I thought it was a fun "who-done-it", but it just lacked something for me. Maybe he set up the whole "I can't trust anyone in this movie" and didn't have a character to get behind and then the movie kind of just ends. Not sure. It also was probably his least violent film.
I know after this I can't wait for him to come back to tell a story in modern times.
-
I ended up not going. :-[
I might still try to catch it in the theater before it leaves...
-
I watched the leaked version that came out on Christmas Eve. I was dying to see it in theaters but I just couldn't resist seeing it immediately for free.
-
It also was probably his least violent film.
What? I mean I don't want to go all spoilers in this thread but that was extremely graphic and violent.
I'm not a huge Tarantino guy, like I said, but it was an OK movie. I agree the ending is kind of weird and just sort of ends. I had the experience of sitting there with a friend with two seats open to the left of me until about 5 minutes before the start time. Then this older couple (lets say late-50s/early-60s) comes in and asks if they can sit there and if "we have any popcorn to share." A little cheesy but whatever. Old lady tries to engage me in conversation and asks if I'm a big Tarantino fan. I say I'm not particularly but he's definitely talented even if the movies aren't particularly my thing. She says she's just gotten into them and that they say "The King's Men" last night by him and asks if I've seen it. I say I have not and am racking my brain trying to remember a trailer for this film. I'm thinking "is she referring to All The King's Men? Did Tarantino do that?" Either way, she spent the last half of that movie watching behind her fingers or notably looking away from the screen. She also did not respond well to the end of the first half of the film. I am functioning off the hypothesis that she was greatly mistaken as to who Tarantino is.
-
Hateful Eight doesn't even scratch the violence level of Django, Inglourious Basterds, Death Proof, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. The last 20 or 25 minutes do get bloody, but it wasn't as insane as any of his other movies. I also thought it was unnecessary. I need to rewatch. I talked to my friend about it and I find myself saying more positive than negative. Something just didn't click. I just really think it's because you don't find out until the very end who to root for.
I also couldn't help but feel like Tim Roth was a tiny bit out of place. All I saw was Christoph Waltz in that role. Maybe swap Roth with Madsen and Waltz with Roth.
-
I thought it was more graphic than Pulp Fiction by a lot. Not as far as body count but in the graphic cinematic depiction of the violence. Agree it was less than Django.
-
Pulp Fiction has a guy slicing rapists up with a katana! And a guys brains all over a car for a solid chunk of the last story! Man. Lol. That is one sick dude.
-
i have watched the trailer a couple of times, and i finally felt a level of disappointment with the what i was seeing as a possible tarantino film. i love his films, and when i see a trailer for one, i get excited and am like . . . yeah, i gotta drag my ass to the damn theatre again. but not this one. it seemed, lacking somehow. but maybe i just need to see it.

Also dong hanging in Django. Maybe this is a new bit for Tarantino. First the trunk shot, now it's hanging dong.
-
I saw it at AFI in 70mm. Just to see a film in 70mm was a real treat. As for where it ranks, I put it on the level of the Kill Bill movies as this is his spagetti western film. Music great as always. Not his best, but still better than most movies that come out these days.
-
I would've hated seeing it in the theater because it reminded me of Death Proof in that it was just looooooooong periods of talk-talk-talk. I think I'm coming to the realization that I just don't like QT movies. Loved Jackie Brown, liked Pulp, Reservoir and Django, did not like Kill Bill, Inglorious, and Death Proof.
But I also chose the sucker's route and downloaded it. And you know what? Watching it in pieces over a week made it much more palatable. I still didn't like it much, and I was totally turned off by him making comedy out of Jennifer Jason Leigh getting the crap beat out of her. I've heard that audiences hoot and holler at those scenes, and that would be a turn off.
I'm also tired of every QT movie dropping the N word constantly. He clearly has issues.
-

I get the feeling its more of a component of him thinking this super "edgy" and "bold" than any actual issues he has with minorities.
-
I agree. I don't think he's a straight up racist per se, but I think he's very titillated by having black and white characters throw the word around. And it can be powerful if used sparingly, but he stampedes toward it every chance he gets and it's tiresome.
I thought the Revenant was great but that was partially because it was the first thing I watched on our brand new enormous super-fancy TV. We'd been happy with our 15 year old 32 inch set with the big tube in the back but decided to upgrade and WOW, that was fun.

Everyone knows, he does it, to impress the RZA.

I don't think 'nigger' was said once during Death Proof, Inglourious, Four Rooms, or any Kill Bill movies. In Django it was "part of the time" and in Hateful they at least reference "they don't call them that anymore". I don't think he does it any worse than any other movies based in those times. It's a little jarring seeing it back in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Don't really think he's a racist.
Definitely has a foot fetish though.

Amy
that was really good, she was even more talented than I gave her credit for
Sad tale and we all know how it ends, but definitely worth a watch
-
I keep meaning to watch Amy but never feel like it when it's choosin' time. Same with "I Am Chris Farley".
I did watch The Big Short last night. It was good! I thought it did a pretty good job explaining what was happening as it went along. That said, I've read several books about the 2008 crash and feel like I have a pretty good grasp of what happened, and yet I was lost a couple times when it would get into the deep details.
I also didn't always understand who the characters were, or who they worked for, or if they represented the banks or investing arms or whatever. I spent the first half thinking Steve Carrell's character was with the SEC or some watchdog group.
-
Saw Carol this weekend and loved it. What a beautiful film. It was like an Edward Hopper painting.
-
Sequel for 'What We Do In The Shadows' [about the werewolves we see in that movie] gets a title!

That movie was hilarious and their interactions with the werewolves were entertaining as hell. Rhys Darby is AMAZING. Can't wait to see him and the rest of the sequel.

The Stoned Age. Dazed and Confused less know, but funnier little brother. Although I don't know many peple who like this movie as much as I do.

Not exactly current but if you can handle subtitles then I recommend "Wild Tales" highly.

Rented Sicario this week. Did not like. Explain what the appeal of this movie was supposed to be? It was choppy, annoying, and was just all-around bad.
Amy comes to Netflix in February. I'm waiting for that one.

I did like this. First of all, I tend to like 'procedure' types of movies, where characters are depicted doing their job in a relatively realistic setting, i.e. not Mad Max or a superhero joint. I liked this for the glimpse it provided into the high echelon of law enforcement. Sure it was pumped up and dramatized, but what was depicted is not that far off from what really goes on.
I really liked the way it was filmed, and I thought the crossing-the-border traffic jam scene was incredible. After seeing a million high speed car chases in movies, this was an awesome contrast, but it was just as tense. I thought all of the main characters were interesting too. I also liked that it positioned one character as the primary 'hero' and yet the climax of the movie involves someone else entirely.
Another examples of a procedure movie I liked, for different but similar reasons, was Spotlight. Simply love watching movies about people working.
-
Also, after seeing (and loving) so many movies like John Wick and Mad Max, where countless faceless enemies are killed and instantly forgotten, I appreciated the fact that Sicario treats death very seriously and shows how killing someone has tremendous reverberations.
-

FWIW, my wife is a huge Amy Winehouse fan, and she didn't really care for the Amy movie.
I thought it was decent, but not great. I much preferred the Nina Simone documentary, also streaming on Netflix. I mention that because both of those movie are Oscar nominated in the documentary category.

Sicario was fantastically shot. I thought all of the scenes of them driving and looking over the border and the quiet overhead shots of Mexico to the contrast of them on the ground were great. Thought the whole drive through the city was great and then everything leading up to and from the tunnel was great. Such an awesome and tense movie. Was really surprised it got snubbed by the Oscars.
-
Both 'Amy' and 'I Am Chris Farley' were interesting to me because I's formerly thought of both as kinda one-note semi-talents. Amy Winehouse was the retro torch singer with weird hair and tattoos and Chris Farley was the bombastic fat guy who shouted a lot. My takeaways from the docs were how talented each of them were. Farley was a really gifted performer who thrived in ensembles. And Winehouse was way more talented a musician than I'd thought.
It was odd in Amy how at first, it seemed to be portraying her as this wise-ass party-tough teenager who kind of stumbled into a chance to sing and make music. But then it shows her playing guitar on stage and she's obviously very practiced and accomplished at it. She's not doing EVH up there, but she's not just plunking notes either.

So I watched I Smile Back starring Sarah Silverman last night. Pretty depressing stuff, she gave a very good performance.
After watching it, my biggest question is which fortysomething Jewess has the best tits...SArah Silverman or Chelsea Handler? What do y'all think?

yeah...now that KS's posts are gone....I don't think jewess is considered a slur
this is a 120 year old publication and didn't look demeaning
(http://www.cajm.net/uploaded/image/member.JWA_Jewess.jpg)
even the modern publication Heeb Mag has a section called Gratuitous Jewess (http://heebmagazine.com/gratuitous-jewess-achinoam-noa-fisher/5264)
and while it's about women and sometime scantily clothed...it's very positive
In an effort to further your appreciation of the richness and renewed vitality of Jewish life among young people today, we give you the next chapter of our new installment, which we have aptly titled, ?Gratuitous Jewess.?
-
Julian, Gratuitous JEWESS just seems like a foregone conclusion. I mean, that's spectacular just from an alliterative sense.
-
And blah blah blah.
I deleted my post because it is pointless to argue or discuss certain things with certain people. We are different generations and I think that is enough for there to be a huge difference between what I think is acceptable, and what others think is acceptable.

well I can agree with you on that!
but until you posted that, I'd never heard it as a derogatory term
and possibly in old timey Rome it was considered a put down, doesn't appear to be for the last 150 years
-
20 years ago, I had a Jewish girlfriend who referred to herself as "a Jewess". That's actually the last time I actually even thought of the term until today.
I was 28, she was 19. I'm sure Smackie would approve.
And she haD great tits. That probably haven't held up nearly as well as Sarah's or Chelsea's.
Edit: She HAD great tits. I haven't seen her in 15 years, I'm guessing time took it's toll like it did on her mom.

I'm curious about this, heard it's pretty good.
@ Yada - the previews for that movie are hilarious. Definitely on my list as well!
-
I end up seeing every kid movie there is. Based on the dynamic of kid movies, Zootopia was better than average. It wasn't Wreck It Ralph or Rise of the Guardians (which I loved for some reason), but it was way better than, say, Cloudy Meatballs (the worst of the worst) or Hotel Transylvania (as generic and slapdash as they come). Zootopia actually had an interesting mystery story behind it, so I wasn't ever bored.
-
Kids movies are hit or miss and I tend to miss them until they're out on Netflix or on demand. Definitely intrigued by the word of mouth for Zootopia.

There's been a few low-low budget 1st person/POV movies recently, Hard Line and Dead Rush. I watched Dead Rush and it gave me a headache. Hardcore Henry might be a little better but I feel like I'm going to be all dizzy watching it.

Swiss Army Man, with Daniel Radcliffe playing a farting corpse that washes ashore and befriends a lonely shipwreck survivior, looks great.

Anyone excited for Hardcore Henry? I remember seeing the short pop up on YouTube a bit ago and thought it was great. Not sure how it'll translate to being a full length movie and on a giant screen.
http://www.slashfilm.com/hardcore-henry-alamo-drafthouse-psa/
This is awesome!
@killsaly I had the same thought, but it's different from playing a video game. I definitely feel like I'm going to be dodging and moving as if it were one of those "action theatre" rides at amusement parks lol.

I think she lied and told her mom i was 23 or 24 as well...24 would have nailed your rule...
She probably lied and told her you were Jewish. That's the only rule her mom probably followed...

rikki and the flash
a pleasant evening's diversion, despite the numerous clichés and general predictability.
streep sings decently and strums a nice blue tele.
troubled daughter (streep's real-life) rocks an 'x - los angeles' tee.
cool - bernie worrell, rick rosas, and joe vitale are the flash.
less cool - rick springfield is in the band as well.
film is dedicated to rick the bass player.
jonathan demme - dir.

ok this isn't a recommendation but more of ...why!? (TBT I did like the original)
Punk's Dead: SLC Punk 2
this one line review is classic: A much-belated sequel some evidently wanted but few will enjoy

I always loved the original [don't even remember hearing about a sequel] but Matthew Lillard just rubs me the wrong way. That character of the semi-loveable, 100% abrasive, too loud, ADD dickhead just fits him all too well.

well.. I don't know.. he'd recommend every movie he ever saw...
but I do wish Killsaly would come back.. for everybody's sake (not mine of course.. the guy hates me.. god only knows what I did to him) just don't know why he has to be so damn sensitive bout someone asking if he used pot... is he like Secretary of Defense or something? Even Obama has admitted to smoking pot...
He's probably freaking out right now emailing Kosmo to delete this whole tread now cause of this post..

For those of you who like foreign cinema/the classics, might want to check out FilmStruck (http://www.filmstruck.com/) which drops in 2 weeks.
I have had Hulu for years, merely for access to the Criterion Collection of films but Turner apparently has bought the rights to that away which will result in my cancelling Hulu and getting this instead.
Their FAQ page makes me a little nervous. Captions are something they're "testing out." Yeah, that'll be great since you openly advertise as focusing on foreign films. Also, the supported device list at time of launch is a little slim. I don't expect niche stuff like my TiVo having an app day one but no Roku/Chromecast/video game systems is weak. Extremely weak.
-
Wow what a fucking huge loss for Hulu. Criterion collection is super crucial viewing.
-

It honestly was the only reason I was paying for it. I hope this thing isn't a glitchy pile of crap and they spread out to Roku and some more devices ASAP.

I don't use Hulu, most of those channels have apps that let you watch more episodes of those shows for free.

Exactly. I have cable and OnDemand. Hulu has by far the least original programming of the big three networks. Easy to drop if they lose Criterion.

Anyone have any netflix/amazon prime movies to recommend for scary movie October?

Anyone have any netflix/amazon prime movies to recommend for scary movie October?
Wanted to follow up on this! Tonight I've got "The Babadook", "Deathgasm" and "A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night" [all on Netflix I believe]
There are also limited screenings of The Shining this weekend! Might have to venture out for that. Seeing it on the big screen should be a treat. Anything else out there? I wasn't able to catch "Don't Breathe"...
-
If I was a good person, I'd go see Young Frankenstein on the big screen, tonight only.

Loved Babadook. We watched "We Are What We Are" this weekend. Would highly recommend!

EDIT: The one in Ashburn is screening Shaun Of The Dead :(
EDIT EDIT: Also showing Army Of Darkness, The Exorcist, Silence Of The Lambs, House Of Dracula and Rocky Horror Picture Show
Watched DEATHGASM last night, it's like Detroit Rock City meets Evil dead sprinkled with Tenacious D. Super fun movie, gets insanely gory at times, but has a fun little horror heart to it.

I know it's a drive, but come to Winchester Virginia.

Hell or High Water. My favorite movie of 2016 so far.

Edge of 17 was pretty good. Moonlight was amazing.

Manchester by the Sea is excellent. Just don't expect it to be happy or uplifting.

Can't wait to see, moonlight.
Is dr. Strange, worth my time?
-
If you liked GOTG or Ant-Man, Doctor Strange is another fun, delightful surprise. I saw it twice, once in 3D because the visuals are amazing.

Did anyone else see Arrival? I liked it!

This is indeed an awful movie. Even my wife, who is a chick at least the last time i checked a couple of days ago, agrees.
La La Land is a chick flick that is actually awesome.
-
yeah.. I didn't like it at the movie theater and I still don't like it.. but its become a big thing .. probably along with Elf the biggest of the Christmas movies from the past 15 years..
I think it also helped make the song All I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey into THE Christmas song of this era...
the story line is so laughably weak and contrived.... its so weird.. the actors are great... the sets are great... but its all just so shallow and fluffy....but i guess its bubbly and uplifting (or tries really hard to be) and that is what people like......its like the cotton candy of Christmas movies but maybe that is why its such a success.. people want Christmas movies they don't have to pay too much attention too and they can just chuckle along between wrapping gifts and doing all the other stuff...

Many (20? More?) years ago I was once walking in the East Village (maybe it was the LES?) and noticed a beautiful woman (NYC has a few of those), and the guy she was with, carrying a grocery bag, was Jim Jarmusch.
-
What am I going to do? My kid has been talking about "A Dog's Purpose" for months, and now PETA is telling me I should boycott it.

I have seen both. Both are great works of art, if not entertainment. Dogtooth was a little more than my wife could bear.

The Beatles- Help! Soundtrack
Just caught the beatles - 8 days a week
I thought it was outstanding
-
Silence was solid but not spectacular. A very "filmy" film. Lots of great landscape shots and atmosphere. But the best bet is to skip the movie and read the book. Its much too nuanced to translate very well to the screen, even in the hands of someone like Scorsese.
-
I haven't seen his other movies. Will check them out.
I also really liked Hidden Figures.
-
You haven't seen any of Martin Scorsese's movies? There's some pretty good ones!

Hidden Figures, La La Land, and 20th Century Women are all great films

I also really liked Hidden Figures.
He's one of my favorite directors. I suggest Gangs Of New York and Raging Bull. Then you can jump into the violent Taxi Driver [Gangs is probably one of his most violent movies though]. Then Goodfellas, Casino, & The Departed.
I absolutely love Wolf Of Wall Street too.

Yes, I've seen all of those. I have Goodfellas memorized. Although sometimes I think I like Casino more.

Manchester by the Sea was really good, but not sure I can recommend it to friends who have kids who now can't go to movies where bad things happen to kids. Just a warning there.

So, if you have AT&T on Tuesdays you can go to www.tickettwosdays.att.com and get a BOGO pass for movie tickets! Put your phone number and zip code in, then you'll receive a pin and voila. Pick your movie.
Last night I went to see Split. It was fun, but I'd say it goes along with the par-for-the-course-ness of Shyamalan. If you're a fan of his movies [or earlier movies] there is a pretty great final scene which I won't spoil for anyone. It's worth a view if you're into suspense/thrillers... or if you got a free movie ticket!
-
I read that you have to see split many times to fully experience it. I like that m. night has a hit movie, and that he kept cranking them out, when he didn't.
-
James McAvoy is GREAT in it. There's a pretty terrifying scene near the end where he's "splitting" [I guess?] and he really kicks it into overdrive. It was entertaining enough and the ending was worth the view.

Is 'Rock Dog' any good? I was thinking of taking the kids to a movie tonight.
-
Is 'Rock Dog' any good? I was thinking of taking the kids to a movie tonight.
I'm only a recent kid movie viewer, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think out of the three I listed, my least favorite of the bunch.
-
Ok, cool.
I see just about every single kid movie that comes out.
'Sing' was pretty generic, but goddamn did I love those KPOP foxes. When they were dancing and singing "Ninja Re Bang Bang" by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, I almost died. Both my kids were frantically whispering "DAD THAT'S YOUR MUSIC!" (And yes, I know that Kyary Pamyu Pamyu is a Japanese artist, don't @ me). I give it a 5.
Secret Life of Pets was also as generic and boring as the usual. I give it a 4. For some reason, I thought it was going to be pretty good so I invited my parents to come too. We all thought it was mediocre.
Batman Lego Movie, however, was fucking hilarious. Seriously, I haven't laughed so much in a movie in years. 8/10
I thought Zootopia was a step above most kids cartoon movies, as it had an actual plot, suspense, and some interesting ideas about identity. 6/10
-
I'm sort of glad my kid is starting to scoff at animated kid movies. Though I did enjoy Zootopia, Jungle Book, and Paddington (all streaming on Netflix now and yes I realize only the first is animated).
Of course now she's into sappy stuff like "A Dog's Purpose", and for some reason she watches the Netflix reboot of "One Day at a Time" tv show repeatedly.

Damn!!! You've got some high standards, but like I said, I'm very new to the genre. I think I'm still at the point in my life of just enjoying going to the movies with my daughter kind of thing. I'm sure by the time she's 10 i'll be vaping in the car pre movie and getting into the Relaxer zone.
-
I think the kids movie preferences depend also on your personal sensibilities.
The Batman Lego Movie (and for that matter the Lego Movie itself) trailers just seem loud, obnoxious and over the top. I can not stand those types of in your face movies, be they animated or with real people. And neither can my quiet, mild-mannered Studio Ghibli loving daughter, who curses me out anytime I play my rock music too loud.
But I can totally see how a wild and crazy guy like Relaxer, and his presumably chip off the old block two sons would love that kind of movie.
-
I'm guessing Relaxer's kids got the Jenna Jameson Essential Gold Collection as a christening gift.

The Lego Batman movie is slightly more over the top than the Lego Movie and the original Lego Movie is better but honestly they are both laugh riots. I did NOT want to see the Lego Movie at all and my friend convinced me and I thought it was one of the funnier movies of that year. Lego Batman movie is more of a movie for Batman fans than fans of the Lego Movie. Still very, very funny. Will Arnett has climbed the ranks as one of my favorite Batman...s..? Lol
Saw Get Out, I get the hype, but didn't think much of the plot. Thought the directing was great and the movie itself looked very nice. Thought it was a very well updated Stepford Wives more than anything.

Here are a few movies I've watched recently
Life -- 6/10. Its fine, rarely boring, but not all that exciting either. Pretty good characters but lacks the sense of dread that was in 'Alien'
XXX Return of Xander Cage -- 7/10 Completely ridiculous, but I have a high tolerance for these kinds of over-the-top international blockbuster action movies. At one point, Vin Diesel and a minor character are in dire mortal peril, and the film shows in detail how Vin escapes and then it just shows the other character strolling up with no explanation for how he escaped.
Assassins Creed -- 4/10 I never had any idea what was going on. Fassbender is cool but I've even played a couple of these video games and I still had no clue what was happening or why.
Kong Skull Island -- 5/10 This was fine, I didn't hate it, but once it was over, I didn't think of it again until just now.
Logan -- 7/10 Close to an 8 but not quite there. I liked this a lot but I've never really accepted Wolverine into my heart so it didn't have that special resonance/reverence that it does for others. Still, I enjoyed it.
Taken 3 -- 3/10 Good god this movie is so dumb, SO DUMB. Like I said, I have a very high tolerance for action movies that are completely realistic. But movies like XXX establish a certain 'world' and then stick with it somewhat consistently (though there's holes like the one I explained). Tak3n tries to be this gritty realistic movie, but it is annoyingly inconsistent that I basically hate it.

Whoops, weird Freudian slip; I am listening to Spoon. Meant to say Gimme Danger, Jim Jarmusch's Stooges doc.
-
As I get older and blinder, my tolerance for subtitles goes down. But Elle was totally worth putting up with subtitles for.
I liked Elle.
-
I mean, pretty early on in Tak3n, Liam Neeson is proven to be innocent of killing his ex-wife via videotape that is analyzed by the police, and yet they still keep chasing him and shooting at him and there's all these enormous disasters and crashes and mayhem and fatalities that result because Liam is trying to escape the police who know he's innocent.
-
Trainspotting 2 - Good not great. Worth checking out if you're a fan of the first. Funny and without the grosser scenes from the first sans maybe one. Having the entire original cast helped. 7/10.
-

Two thumbs up from us on that one. Iggy is the man.
On a side note, I found Jarmusch's Paterson to be pretty boring. Movies about nice people are boring, I guess. My wife fell asleep during that one.
-
I loved both the Jarmusch films in question. Got a really cool poster for Gimme Danger when it played at the Byrd Theatre in Richmond.
-
Paterson was the closest Jarmusch has come to Stranger than Paradise, technique wise, especially in regard to the pacing, relationship of the lead male/female characters and use of blackouts between scenes.... Loved the dog!

best part of that film, which i enjoyed also.

Brennsers had a lot of plane time recently so heres what I've watched recently - some of these have been around for a while but I don't get out to the movies much these days
Spotlight - A - fabulous treatment on a wrenching topic
Moonlight - B - v surprised this won an Oscar - last third was baffling
Life, Animated - A - delightful documentary about an autistic kid who learned to communicate via Disney movies
Manchester by the Sea - A- - Amazing performance by Casey Affleck
Hidden Figures - A- - great, inspiring, fun movie
Arrival - B- - sort of didn't really go anywhere
Amy - A- - very good, super sad portrayal of her downward spiral and her skeevy exploitative Dad

I used to rent the shit out of that film from the library, when I was a kid. ah, the good ole days when we rented movies from the library. 3 to 5 at a time, if I was lucky.
-
didn't you borrow them?
my kids love the library... the oldest walks out with at least 10 books each time and reads them all
and they get dvd's there as the play room just has DVD player
-
Yes, borrow. Interesting. I didn't think people even still went to the library except to use free internet access, anymore.

Finally saw Slumdog Millionaire last night. Sgood.

Did not like. At all.

As a parent, I see a lot more animated films than I did when I was childless. My Life as a Zucchini was one of the best.

Daniel Day-Lewis Announces Retirement From Acting (https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/20/arts/daniel-day-lewis-announces-retirement-from-acting.html)

Baby Driver as everything is awesome about this movie...
Yeah, do not miss this one on the big screen if you are a fan of music & film.
Although it probably won't end up on a Top-50-Of-All-Time sorta thing, it is brilliant in many ways, esp the cool premise.
Great cast, too.
-
I was a little disappointed with Baby Driver. The soundtrack and the way they weave music into the story was great. The car chases were good but the story never really goes anywhere. I didn't find either Jon Hamm or Kevin Spacey to be convincing villains. It's probably worth a trip to the theater, but as noted above, it won't make any "best of' lists.

You've been here long enough to know this: any visual media that features music prominently will be rated two letter grades higher than it actually deserves by this board. We had a weekly discussion of Vinyl, for God's sake.

Split sucked.
Get Out ruled.
-
I just watched "Get Out" and it was complete garbage. I can only see people liking this due to politics...horrible.

Watched Gifted on the plane ride home from vacation. Was my daughter's pick. Conventional but surprisingly watchable. I also watched Kong Skull Island, among others. Is that the first film to user an Iggy song and an Ozzy song in the same film?
-
Loved Spider Man: Homecoming
Super funny, great action, tons of heart. Kind of like Ant-Man. Loved all the tie-ins/fallout from the main Avengers storyline too. Plus the after credits scene is just amazing.

very much looking forward to 10/6

The 25 Best Films of the 21st Century (so far) (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/09/movies/the-25-best-films-of-the-21st-century.html)
I've only seen nine of them. I guess I lose my cinephile credentials.
I've seen 12. Not sure how Wendy and Lucy made that list. Sweet movie, but not the best of the century, by any means.

just watched, arrival. damn, that is a great, great movie. slow at first, and then it sucks you in . . . by the end you are simply left mesmerized by the concept and way it was shot.

Caught Dunkirk last week, thought it was great. Nolan knows how to make pretty movies.
Baby Driver was also tons of fun, probably my favorite soundtrack of the year. Bits of the movie seem like a musical even during car chases. So much fun. Highly recommend!
-
Logan Lucky is quite entertaining. Two thumbs up.

Watched mother! and Black Swan this weekend. I may need to hide in the corner tomorrow.

I saw Mother! a couple nights ago and it definitely took me a couple days to process. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not but after a few days I think I want to see it again... That is one insane movie. I suggest everyone goes to see it. Every review I've read for it is wrong.......... I think.

Switching into horror movie gear. Watched It Follows and Hush last night. It Follows was a great throwback horror, Hush was heart pounding! I felt exhausted watching those 2 back to back.
Tonight I'll finally FINALLY see The Babadook and I think The Invitation.
Has anyone see Raw or The Lure!? They both sound so good!
-
I am also switching into horror movie gear! Will definitely be watching It Follows this year. Loved Babadook and We are who we are last year. Hope to get to the Invitation this year.
Anyone else have other suggestions?

The Invitation is a crazy slow burner and plays it super close to the vest almost until the very end. I caught Green Inferno [Eli Roth] and it was absolutely horrible. The gore may have been even too much if it was supposed to be a camp horror... I just did not understand it. Also watched Creep and that was very odd... A super fun "found footage" type. Surprised to see they're making a sequel with the same killer in it. The ending is awesome.
I have a huge list I keep adding to. Finally going to go see IT this week as well!

I saw Raw. It was pointless garbage. I'm sure you'll love it.

I am starting my annual horror film month. so far, gurrrl . . . I am just going to admit it. Madea Boo is a damn good movie. Can't wait for the sequel this month. rewatched Thir13en Ghosts which is a great great ghost movie. soon fright night will be devoured, because it holds a special place in my heart as a vampire flick. plus, watch dead alive. lawnmowers.
-
Caught IT last night. I thought they did a super good job of keep the scares going besides just jump scares. Some sequences in the movie feel like they on forever and it's terrifying. Literally like a nightmare you can't wake up from. What a fun Halloween movie!
-
Watched Green Room last night. Not what I thought it would be. Is the camera work in Creep super shaky? That gives me motion sickness if it's too bad.
-
Naw, I think most of the "found footage" stuff these days is pretty good. At least to me it's not bad. Creep's camera work wasn't anything I noticed as being a distraction. At certain points it feels like you're watching a movie vs "found footage".
Watched XX last night and it was definitely weird. Anthology type movie with 4 stories, all women directors, I think one was directed by St. Vincent. Not gory, but definitely weird. Change of pace from a lot of stuff I've been watching.
-
Given its 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and 94 Metacritic score, I was expecting Lady Bird to blow me away. It didn't, but it was still very good.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is better, IMHO.
-
A big thumbs up from my 10 year old for the film "Wonder."
That's the type of film you go see at the theater when you have a ten year old!
The preppy bully who mocked the film's hero's unattractive physical appearance was named "Julian."
Two things to note:
1. Owen Wilson is perfectly cast as the dad of a kid with a facial deformity.
2. Julia Roberts is aging quite gracefully.
-

I think Lady Bird is a movie for women. I loved it.
Can't wait to see three billboards

I really liked Wind River, another score for Hell or High Water screenwriter Taylor Sheridan.

Harry Dean Stanton's last film Lucky is tremendous. An existential tour de force about growing old and facing death. David Lynch, whose beside himself because of his lost tortoise, plays a regular in a bar that Stanton's character frequents.

Loved the Big Sick - free on Amazon Prime.

The new Star Wars movie assumes the viewer knows all the characters and story lines from the previous episodes. Since I don't, I felt like I had walked into the film midway. I'm sure it's very good if you are a follower of the franchise, but for me, it was just 2.5 hours trying to figure out what was going on.
-
Might be N'flix only, I dunno:
"The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)" from indie Noah Baumbach. Features a terrific dramatic casting of Adam Sandler (yes, that Adam Sandler and he's been listening to some drama direction, it is clear). Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffmann, and Emma Thompson also have leading roles. Script is well-written and the characters are so real and faulted. I was hooked from the beginning.
-
Did Dustin, grab anybody's breasts in it, then get upset when someone brings it up to him in an interview and denies it and wonders why the person waited years to say anything about it.
-
Since I don't
for shame...

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is better, IMHO.
Cannot wait to see Three Billboards. Totally agreed about Lady Bird. Thought the acting was great but the story was disjointed and the whole narrative felt challenging and wildly uneven.
-
Coco: A-
Ferdinand: B-/C+
-
Was not a big fan of the new Star Wars. Felt like nothing happened, new characters were crammed in and taken out to inspire some sort of fake emotional elements. At the end of the movie I felt let down seeing the Rebels depleted and seemingly making no headway against the first order. Felt like the ending of this movie should have been the beginning of it.
The Shape Of Water was amazing. I thought it his all the notes for a romance movie, a spy thriller, and a classic monster movie. My favorite GDT movie since Pan's. Thought it was a beautiful film.
-
Saw Call Me By Your Name and The Shape of Water over my very long and now feeling too short break. Both awesome.

I do think you needed to be a girl in the 90's to fully understand Lady Bird. That relationship was totally my mom and myself.

I agree. My favorite film in a long, long time.
-
Disaster Artist was so fun. It helps that A) I love 'The Room', and B) I loved the Sistero "Disaster Artist" book a LOT. The book is so damn funny. The movie has more pathos and conflict, but it was still good. I'm not a big James Franco fan, but dude absolutely nailed Wiseau.
Coco was a pleasant surprise. Ferdinand was disappointing because the book is so bucolic and this was Just Another Animated Movie.
Jumanji was great fun to watch with the kids because they fucking loved it. If I'd been watching it by myself at home, I would thought "Ok, that was fine, I will never think of it again" but because the kids loved it, we had a really fun time.
-
I might have already said this before, but I saw three billboards awhile ago at the Alamo. Hated it then, hate it now. Like Wind River. God, I hated that movie, too.

Did we ever think we'd see the day when underwear model Markie Mark is the highest paid actor in Hollywood?
-
I thought former professional wrestler dwayne johnson was the highest paid actor

I thought former professional wrestler dwayne johnson was the highest paid actor
That was 2016 apparently
http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/11/opinions/williams-wahlberg-pay-gap-opinion-alaimo/index.html
In 2017, as Hollywood's women bravely spoke out against sexual harassment, the pay gap between female and male actors did not seem to be closing. According to Forbes' list of top-paid actors, Wahlberg -- the highest-paid man in the biz -- made $42 million more than the top-paid actress, Emma Stone.
On a side note I have to laugh at Jessica Chastain and Michelle Williams crying about being underpaid when they have a net worth of 20 million each.
-
I'm not sure whether to think this whole Mark Wahlberg thing, is simply where one actor, whether male or female, negotiated a better deal for themselves and somehow . . . that's a bad thing? If I could get an extra 1.5 million dollars for my job, I think I would say yes to it.
-
Johnson is box office viagra.
Wahlberg sucks. He is a real piece of human garbage. Check out his history of racism and assaulting children by throwing rocks at them while he was a teenager.
Personally I do not watch his movies for the reasons above.
-
Really liked I, Tonya. And so far am loving having a moviepass. Tonight going to see The Post. Will Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep get on my nerves, or will I like it? We shall see.
-
I also really liked I, Tonya. No chance of winning Best Picture, but Allison Janney is certainly a strong contender for Best Supporting.
I'll be skipping The Post. I think I am one of the few people who simply isn't a fan of Spielberg films. I find them formulaic and utterly predictable.

He served time for his crimes and seems genuinely remorseful and has gone on to (I think) live a crime and racism free life since doing some fucked up things as a teenager. Aren't we as a good society supposed to forgive people like that? I mean, if the victims were your family or friends I could see how it might be more difficult to forgive....

I Am Not Your Negro is an excellent documentary about Evers, King and Malcolm X through the eyes of the eloquent James Baldwin (voice by Samuel L. Jackson). The perfect film to watch yesterday or any day for that matter. Found it on Amazon. EVERYONE needs to see this film.

It was SO BAD. I went to see it because I have a moviepass and thought I would appreciate the story. Totally overdone and obvious. Like every single part of every single scene was deliberately made to look "just so" down to where people were standing. Things totally looking like a movie set and just UGH.
People will fucking love it though.

Saw 3 Billboards last night. Good character study for the mom, but otherwise not the best. Why is this winning everything? Shape of Water and Call Me By Your Name were so much better. In Bruges is still his best movie.
-
The Florida Project and Phantom Thread were the best films I saw this year. Lady Bird and 3 Billboards were good. Shape of Water was tripe.
-
I can't believe the hoopla over three billboards . . . it was ok to good, but not a masterpiece. and just wait, for Winchester to come on video. you know, like vhs video; that's how bad it is.
-
Recent movies of note:
Paddington 2: 9.5 out of 10

Apart from best production design and possibly best original score (I'd still give that one to PHANTOM THREAD or DUNKIRK), it really didn't deserve anything. Still okay with Guillermo getting director though as it was such a big middle finger to the studio system.
-
Unlike all the other Oscar categories, Best Picture uses ranked, instant runoff voting to pick a winner. In theory, Shape of Water could have won without getting any first place votes.

Leave No Trace - 8/10 - Different, in a good way.
Three Identical Strangers 7/10 - The filmmakers succeed in making a marginally interesting story into a very interesting story, but they can be a bit ham-fisted at times. Pretty decent soundtrack.

Really enjoyed Borg vs McEnroe 8.5/10

This could have been cheesy but I think they did a good job of hitting all the right notes.
It's cool to have an 11 year old, I can finally go to films that I might actually pay to see anyway, instead of animated kid's films. I'll leave it to my wife to explain all the blow job references, she likes explaining that stuff anyway, and what girl wants her dad explaining what blow jobs are to her?

No it does not rise to the level of my favorites or great literature but sometimes just want to read something fun

Valley Uprising, which about the history of climbing at Yosemite, was excellent. (streaming on Netflix)
Mountain, also about climbing, just started streaming on Netflix. On my list to watch. Also Free Solo, about Alex Honnold's climbing of El Capitan without ropes, opens this weekend in theaters.
I'm way too chickenshit and now too fat and old to do any of that, but it's a fascinating movie topic.
-
Not for the weak-hearted/stomached but I just saw A Prayer Before Dawn about a British guy that gets thrown into a Thai prison and has to fight his way out. It is among the most intense and visceral movies I've ever seen. The depictions and visuals of male bodies are unreal (and please let's not go for the obvious homophobic jokes) and I am in awe of the director being able to set up some of the shots.

Is that a Jean Claude Van Damme flick?

The band have just announced a new film, A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS, which throws the doors wide open on Coldplay's colourful 20 year history. The film will be available to stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video from Friday, November 16 in the UK, US, Australia and New Zealand, with local language versions available globally soon after. Click here to watch the film's trailer. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhzu6bQxFo4)
The documentary release will be preceded by a special one-night showing of the film in collaboration with Trafalgar Releasing in more than 2,000 cinemas globally, on Wednesday, November 14. Tickets are on sale from Friday, October 19 from coldplay.film (http://coldplay.film).
A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS offers an in-depth and intimate portrait of the band’s spectacular rise from the backrooms of Camden pubs to selling out stadiums across the planet.
The film is helmed by Mat Whitecross - director of Supersonic, the acclaimed 2016 Oasis documentary - who met the four friends at college in 1996, before they’d even formed the band. From the very first rehearsal in a cramped student bedroom, Mat has been there to capture the music and the relationships on tape.
In conjunction with the launch of A HEAD FULL OF DREAMS on Amazon Prime Video, the band will premiere three live tracks, available to stream only on Amazon Music, beginning Friday, October 26. The tracks are: Stayin’ Alive (Live at Glastonbury) by Coldplay & Barry Gibb, Us Against The World (Live in Leipzig) and Don't Panic (Live in Paris).
-
the title is recommend some GOOD movies...that looks like rubbish and I feel worse just reading your post
-
then my work here is done.
-
I would say they should’ve named it A Head Full Of Milquetoast but Frank Turner probably has already trademarked it.

First man is quite good. Usually I hate anything Spielberg touches.
Bad Times at the El Royale is modestly entertaining but ends up a crappy Tarantino knock-off.

Take it from Freely, Free Solo is the best movie of the year. If it doesn't win the Oscar for Best Documentary, they should quit giving out the award.

Watched some older films this weekend:
What We Do In The Shadows - really funny and quirky. Love their vampire take on things.
The Endless - Apparently there is also a companion film to this. Really strange, but I liked it. Will have to watch this again.
The Loved Ones - Fucking brutal psycho David Lynch shit with some Evil Dead mixed in.

Thomasin McKenzie is unbelievable in it. Great young talent.
Was curious about her...and stumbled across this new flick she has a minor role in
getting the band back together and adding some big names to the mix
Top Gun: Maverick is an upcoming American military action drama film
It is the sequel to Top Gun (1986), intended to be the second installment in the Top Gun film series, and stars Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Val Kilmer, Jennifer Connelly, Glen Powell, Jon Hamm and Ed Harris among others. It will be released on June 26, 2020
Cast
Tom Cruise as Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a flight instructor
Miles Teller as Bradley Bradshaw, a pilot trainee, and the son of Maverick's late partner Nick "Goose" Bradshaw
Val Kilmer as Commander Tom "Iceman" Kazansky
After Tony Scott's suicide, the sequel's future remained in question. However, producer Jerry Bruckheimer remained committed to the project, especially given Cruise's and Kilmer's interest.
so if this does well...is the 3rd installment the Iceman Cometh

Seen all of that top ten. 400 Blows remains possibly my favorite film of all time.

Too many old movies
Off the top kieslowski bleu and an almodovar should be there...I love atame

Another great one I came to understand is an Argentine movie called Made in Argentina
Nothing from India seems like an oversight

Free Solo is indeed pretty great.
I was shocked to learn that Alex is still with that insufferable girlfriend.

Black Kklansman and Blindspotting are like distant cousins and both are very entertaining, very poignant, and very on point.

Does anybody care about the Globes....
They never been about indies...more of a popularity contest

The awards have become more about virtue signaling than rewarding cinematic excellence.

the one thing the GG has been good for over the last few years is TV
also been better at giving props to comedy which the Academy shuns
I would never actually watch the shows, but I like reviewing the noms and seeing who wins

I really hated that movie, it annoyed the fuck out of me. It was like it was trying way too hard to be weird. For a really great 2018 movie set in Oakland with a young black lead, see Blindspotting, not this one.

Mild recommendation for Lords of Chaos. Black Metal does not appeal to me in the slightest but I find the subject matter fascinating. Culkin gives a solid performance.

I caught an 11pm screening of "Us". No interest in seeing it again actually. But there are definitely enough perfect spooky parts. Possibly a little too overwrought for its own good, giving plenty of watercooler fodder. And.... a very nice scriptwriting/cinematic aha payoff towards the very end.
-
my mom, is my go to, I need to hear that movie review, kind of listen. she hated 'us', with a passion. loved 'get out', hated the next get out. She's the type who will walk the fuck out of a movie, and she said it was a bit hard to follow unless you really paid "a hell of a lot of attention."
-
I thought Us had a very interesting premise but completely fell apart when Peele had to actually write the thing and put the pieces together. I was so ready to love this, but I walked out feeling kinda 'meh'.

JUN29
World Premiere: Punk the Capital + Q&A
Public · Hosted by AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center
When punk rock exploded in Washington, DC, in the late 1970s, it was a mighty, intergenerational convergence of powerful music, close friendships and clear minds. Featuring breathtaking Super-8 footage filmed at some of the earliest punk shows in DC, PUNK THE CAPITAL takes us through that transformative period (1976–1983), situating DC punk and DC harDCore within the larger narratives of the music industry at that time. The film boasts electrifying performances by legendary bands like Bad Brains and Minor Threat, and others integral to the era like The Slickee Boys and Black Market Baby. An array of interviewees like H.R. and Daryl Jenifer of Bad Brains, Ian MacKaye and Alec MacKaye, Henry Rollins (2.13.61) and Cynthia Connolly of Dischord Records, among others, make for a kaleidoscopic and lyrical documentary that immerses the audience in the sounds and ideas of this celebrated music scene. Against the odds (or perhaps, understandably), punk rock took hold in Washington, DC, and grew into a movement that became a model for DIY culture around the world.
Q&A with filmmakers Paul Bishow, James June Schneider and Sam Lavine to follow

Highly recommend:The Biggest Little Farm

DC Caribbean FilmFest: Rudeboy: The Story of Trojan Records
AFI Silver Theatre
SAT, JUN 8 & TUE, JUN 11
During the late 1960s and early '70s, London label Trojan Records — founded by Jamaican-born businessman Lee Gopthal — became one of the most influential Jamaican record companies in history. Combining archival footage, dramatic reconstructions and interviews with legendary artists, RUDEBOY places the story of Trojan Records at the heart of a cultural revolution which unfolded in the council estates and across the dancefloors of Britain, where ska, rocksteady and reggae announced a black presence in Britain, as immigration and innovation transformed popular music and culture. Told by a cast of musical legends including Lee Scratch Perry (official), Toots Hibbert, Ken Boothe, Neville Staple, Marcia Griffiths, Dave Barker, Dandy Livingstone, Lloyd Coxsone, Pauline Black, Derrick Morgan and more, RUDEBOY interweaves the emergence of an influential musical movement with Jamaica's post-colonial history.

Even thought it lost the Best Foreign Film Oscar, Capernaum garnered the rare five star Netflix Space Review.
After running away from his negligent parents, committing a violent crime and being sentenced to five years in jail, a hardened, streetwise 12-year-old Lebanese boy sues his parents in protest of the life they have given him.

Rocketman is a better movie than Bohemian Rhapsody.
By a fair margin. Didn't love Rocketman but its storytelling was infinitely more interesting. Performances by Taron and Remi were about equal.
-
I haven't seen Rocketman yet but Bohemian Rhapsody was such lazy storytelling. Every conflict was settled by someone playing a cool bass riff or something similar. You could tell how sanitized it was from the actual inner-workings of the group. It was one of those films that was, on one hand, quite entertaining and well acted and, on the other hand, objectively bad because of the writing, directing, etc.

When asked yesterday if I was going to see this in the theater, I responded, "not likely, and definitely not without alcohol." I agree, zero interest, save for the cinematography, which might make it worthy of the big screen.

Maybe a big one once a month, but mainly area artists here and there at interesting venues like record stores, so not really. Got a few free tickets for Jiffy Lube which is about 15 minutes away, so I rarely say no to those. At my age it's all about the weather and the parking situation.

Thumbs down on that one for me. It started well enough, like it was going to be some kind pf psychological thriller. Then it turned into standard horror movie garbage. I'm not sure what the critics saw in the one, other than a chance to kiss ass the Black director.
-
Gurrrrl, I just watched Ant Man. It was so good and a cute, simple superhero movie.
It took me almost half the movie, to realize the lead actress, was what's her name from Lost.
Here's hoping the sequel, is just as good!

I want to see The Goldfinch this weekend but I feel there's no way a 2.5 hour movie can possible do that novel justice. Early reviews are so bad.
Anyway, as for movies I have actually seen and therefore can recommend: The Mountain with Jeff Goldblum is fantastic. Rick Alverson is going to blow up as a director at some point.

As a guy with a pair of balls, rom-coms aren't usually my top genre (though preferred over superhero or horror movies), but these two were quite enjoyable:

Biographical drama of musician Blaze Foley, directed by Ethan Hawke.
Interesting to see long ago teen idol (and, I think, current Dylan guitarist) Charlie Sexton playing a weathered Townes Van Zandt. (Was there ever a time when Townes wasn't weathered?)

A friend of mine, was desperate to see this after all of the trailers. I thought it looked like a 2001 A Space Odyssey, rip off.
He went . . . and said it was absolute shit.

One movie that got excellent reviews that I *can't* recommend was Book Smart.
The two leads had no chemistry, the writing was terrible, and the music was atrocious. The two girls were the opposite of eye candy (one of them is Jonah Hill's sister, imagine Jonah Hill in a dress), and though that was part of the point, their personalities ranged from grating to non-existent. The boy who was supposed to be the "hot jock" (played by Cuba Gooding's son) seemed more like an art-fag gay-boy (not that there's anything wrong with that, but he just didn't fit the part.)
Olivia Wilde directed and I'd say she should stick to acting, but I haven't liked her in any of the films I've seen her acting in.

For the record, the Dora movie stands on it's own as a good Bill and Ted meets Indiana Jones flick regardless of whether you've seen the kid's show. Though having seen the kid's show only makes it better.

Perhaps less surprising than Billie Eilish's inability to know Van Halen, but I have never seem a Nickelodeon special. Are there some you can recommend?

Bixler High Private Eye (2019)
Xander DeWitt (Jace Norman) is an inquisitive teenager with a knack for solving mysteries. His sleuthing skills get put to the test when his dad, Russell, leaves for work one day and vanishes without a trace. Frustrated by his attempts to find his dad, Xander’s mom sends him to go live with his grandfather (Ed Begley Jr.), a retired private investigator. It’s in his dad’s hometown that Xander finds a surprising lead in the case and builds an unexpected partnership with Kenzie Messina (Ariel Martin), an investigative reporter for the school newspaper.
It felt like watching a Nickelodeon special, rather than a real movie.

Queen and Slim was interesting. One scene that I thought was a little heavy handed, but it was good.
Going to see Mr. Rogers with my Mom tonight. Kind of wanted the doc to stand on its own in my brain, but my Mom is excited to see it. My Grandmother lived down the street from him, so he's always been a special person in our lives!
-
I always imagined that Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was a fictional place...

Has anyone else seen the Mr. Rogers movie?

Pleasantly surprised to see musicians from two of my favorite bands with roles in Marriage Story- Dean from Luna and Tunde from TVOTR!

Saw 2 good older movies (2017/18?) - Ladybird and The Florida Project

Tangerine was good, too (same director as The Florida Project)

Over the long break we saw: Swiss Army Man and Moonlight. I really loved both of those. As bagley knows, I predict that given what I have gone through in my own sordid domestic situation, I will never in my entire life watch Marriage Story.
-
Parasite was fantastic. Streaming on Amazon for $6.

Even though Once Upon A Time is better, I'm happy for Joon-ho and co. Parasite is excellent.
-
Once Upon A Time was alright.....not sure why it was even nominated. You don't even wanna see it again the second time like most Tarantino films.
-
It wasn't Oscar material, but Blinded By the Light was an entertaining watch, especially if you like retro 80's stuff, or Springsteen.
-
I was pulling for Marriage Story but happy a foreign-language film finally broke through. Just crazy to think it took this long. Fellini, Antonioni, Kurasawa, Bergman, Truffaut, Godard, et al et al.
-

Between the theater and showing friends & family, i've watched it no fewer than half a dozen times. Enjoyed each and every viewing.
To each their own.

Spot on review. I enjoyed the last hour, but the first nearly two hours were boring.

Queen&Slim is the best movie I've seen yet this year, and I usually watch 2-3 movies a week.

Not sure anyone knew...but almost the whole collection of Studio Ghibli movies are now available on netflix (total of 21)
https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/coming-soon/full-list-of-studio-ghibli-movies-coming-to-netflix-on-april-1st-2020/
For some reason for years the only way to get any of these masterpieces was on an overpriced DVD (haven't had a player for a decade) or wait until they did some of those special screenings at movie theaters
Some real rare gems in there too

When it's too good to be true, it usually is.
The list below only applies to Netflix regions outside of the United States and Canada. In the US, all of these are scheduled to hit HBO Max when it releases later in the year.
Netflix sucks. I sent my last two dvd's in Saturday's mail, and they still haven't sent me replacement DVD's.

I don't really think this is against the law, per se. VPNs are legal. Probably/definitely a violation of a Terms of Service/Use but I don't think this is a criminal matter. An actual lawyer (Vansmack) can weigh in.

This movie is a must see: Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America’s Elections
Unfortunately only on HBO
the shit that happened in GA is unbelievable
(Kemps current chief of staff was the lobbyist for the the Voting machines that were banned after the election!)
What is scary is that many of these issues were uncovered in 2006! and those machines are still in place
I agree with this headline, it was like a dystopian horror movie
Kill Chain: The Cyber War on America’s Elections’ on HBO, a Documentary That’s Also a Horror Movie (https://decider.com/2020/03/30/kill-chain-hbo-stream-it-or-skip-it/)
I used to say The Shining was the scariest movie I ever saw.

I seriously can't recommend this documentary more....
good news, don't need hbo

Just watched Les Miserables, the 2019 French film that was nominated for Best Foreign Film. Streaming on Amazon Prime. Intense and excellent. Only tangentially related to anything Victor Hugo.

Enchanted was pretty decent
Amy Adams is just ravishing in it

Sing Street...soo fuckin good
John Carney totally gets me when it comes to musical movies
Ferdia Walsh-Peelo is fantastic
Love the costume/art direction

Oh ....and...Paulette Goddard

It:s old, I know . . . but Michael Clayton, was awesome!

Also, I just bought the last Star Wars film, since I missed it in the theater . . . but before I see it, I am going through and re,watching all Star Wars movies in the correct one should:
The Phantom Menace
Attack of the Clones
Revenge of the Sith
Solo
Rogue One
A New Hope
Empire Strikes Back
Return of the Jedi
The Force Awakens
The Last Jedi
-
Not a specific recommendation, but this site has some amazing gems:
http://kinomarquee.com/
Just watch them all.
-
I'm rewatching The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, before I rewatch the final 3. Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones are just horrendous. Such horrible dialogue and even worse acting.
I actually liked the 3 most recent movies but I'm not the person who dissects every inch of the movie. I'm in it solely for the light entertainment value.

You know what other movies are good? Ones made for adults and not twelve-year-olds masquerading in forty-year-olds bodies.
-
I watched the first prequel in the movie theater and that was enough for me...the one with jar jar binks...I had no issue with jar jar binks but the movie was pretty bad
I have the blue ray box but have no desire to ever watch anything but Star Wars, empire and Jedi
I don’t see any appeal in the recent ones as they dont come from the mind of George Lucas
I would rather watch Howard the duck!
-
I do not understand Star Wars.
Just watched Zombieland 2. Worth it.
Also saw Hard Eight for the first time this weekend. Pretty good.
-
Finally saw Jojo Rabbit. Really enjoyed it and thought it was better than Parasite.

Sorry, just saw this. There are a few options for you, and there is no right answer. You listed Chronological by story line, which is fine. I think it's better than release date if you are going to include Solo and Rogue One (which you should).
There is the Machete Order, which tells the Vader story, eliminates the Phantom Menace, and ignores the sequels (though they could be added at the end):
Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
Episode V: Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)
Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (1983)
If you want to keep Phantom Menace, slide it between Empire and Clones.
But here's what Smackie would do since you have ALL DAMN MONTH, at least:
Star Wars series and limited specials are bolded below.
Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)
Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)

Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Solo (2018)
Star Wars Rebels (2014 to 2018)
Rogue One (2016)
Episode IV: A New Hope (1978)
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Episode VI: The Return of the Jedi (1983)
The Mandalorian (2019)
Star Wars: Resistance (2018 to 2020)
Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2016)
Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)
Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
I did not include Lego Star Wars, or one off specials, but you be you.

is IX really needed? maybe the wounds will heal and i'll be able to revisit in a year, but my current opinion is that Rise brings the whole franchise down. it's better off without it.

nope. but i am the kind of guy who would walk out of a show if it really, really stinks and i'm not enjoying myself. i would also warn others that the show stinks and is best avoided - even if previous editions/episodes/incarnations were excellent.

while working out, i watch mindless drivel on netflix or prime. i'm currently watching "Bumblebee", a prequel/reboot of the Transformers movies. it's actually a tad better than the other robots-in-disguise movies, not that it's a high bar to clear (who would have thought that john cena would be an upgrade on shia leboeuf?). the movie is set in 1087, and IMO the most notable thing about it is the soundtrack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bumblebee_(film)#Soundtrack): so many great eighties hits in there. they must have spent a small fortune on licensing... within the first few minutes of the movie i recognized "bigmouth strikes again", what followed was a long walk down memory lane: things can only get better, save a prayer, don't you (forget about me), it takes two, etc etc etc...
so if you like meaningless action flicks where lots of shit gets blow up, this one at least has a good soundtrack.
-
the movie is set in 1087,
I'm surprised you liked the lute music that was so popular after the battle of hastings

Cosigned on both. Nomadland is going to win a lot of awards.

I will say that Sylvie's Love on Prime falls in the category of a good movie. Pretty typical romantic drama set to the backdrop of late 50s and early 60s Jazz, R&B, Soul music. Not unlike Soul there it has lots of Jazz featured in the movie... it's a pleasant was to spend one's time.

Wow! This is one of the most rewatchable films of all-time. Put this on in the background and I'm very happy.
What prompted you to watch this for the first time 25 years after its release? I think it was just #1 in an article on "all time best cult classics" this week in . . . something.

Yeah, I dunno. I always knew I wanted to see it, but just never did. mrs grateful had no interest, which led to even further delays...
Anyway, I'm glad to have finally entered the zeitgeist. I feel I have a deeper understanding of y'all.

Quite possibly the best comedy in the last 3 decades...
what would be other contenders??

Clueless, Mean Girls, Bridesmaids, Office Space, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Zoolander, American Pie.

Agree it is one of the most rewatchable films ever. Sublime comedy, imo.
I’d add Clerks, Swingers, Something About Mary, Wedding Crashers to the discussion. Maybe even Dumb/Dumber, Superbad, Shaun of the Dead. A lot of contenders, for sure.
-
The Beach Bum
-
Don't the majority of those picks predate BL?
I do agree with most of them tho...Just feel like comedy movies have kinda sucked for the last 2 decades
I think bridesmaids is the only 'current' one
I just rewatched It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World this weekend (with intermission!) and that's a great comedy

Look, if you're going to do this, don't be lazy: use the Pitchfork tenth-of-a-point scale, not just integers.

was hoping some people had some great comedies that I missed in the last 20 years
but looking like I didn't miss much
-
Big Lebowski was a wild turn for me. This year I've been soaking up as much from the zombie genre as possible, with a recent focus on South Korean flicks. There's a lot of great stuff out there, but I've been struggling with Peninsula. It's pretty horrible.

School of Rock is pretty good but not a classic... I just like all the references to rock

Should have included both of these. D&C, in particular.

Agree it is one of the most rewatchable films ever. Sublime comedy, imo.
I’d add Clerks, Swingers, Something About Mary, Wedding Crashers to the discussion. Maybe even Dumb/Dumber, Superbad, Shaun of the Dead. A lot of contenders, for sure.
Dude, you have some good beer taste. But I'd put most of those movies on a list of worst movies I've ever seen.
Which, in particular? Some are admittedly very stupid but I’d dig my heels on the first three.

a barbie movie can only go one of two ways, and both are indeed awful:
1) they'll continue with barbie's 1950's era fantasy: a vapid blond that just wants to have simplistic fun. awful for obvious reasons.
2) they attempt to rehabilitate barbie's image as a supposedly modern, intelligent, empowered woman - ignoring her history of fostering horrible mental and physical stereotypes of women. i suspect this is the tact they'll take.
you have to wonder who this movies is targeting. neither my 7 y.o. daughter nor any of her friend have any interest in barbie. as far as i know they don't even own any (i can confirm this after spending the past week of winter break supervising play-dates). if they're going to tap into mom's nostalgia for her childhood toys... not sure how that is going to work.

The Hunt for the Wilderpeople. On Netflix. Same director as did Jojo Rabbit, and What We Do in the Shadows.

Speaking of docs, watched Collective last night, nominated for Best Doc and Best International Film.
My two observations were I don't have as much patience for subtitles as I did when I was 21, especially for a doc, and no way am I going to a club show in Romania.

I rewatched Ferris Bueller’s Day Off for the first time in decades... I think I have seen bits and pieces over the years
Some of it has dated badly.. not PC... on the other hand it is sort of a reflection of wasp culture and that’s the way it was..
Still very very funny though...Charlie Sheen is so good in his role
I can remember seeing this as a 15 year old at the movie theater around Menlo Park and just loving it so much...

Speaking of Charlie Sheen, I learned that 18 yr old Soleil Moon Frye lost her virginity to 29 yr old Charlie.
I learned that in Soleil's surprisingly good doc, Kid 90.

ehhh... this "documentary" needs a companion film that corrects all the alarmism, scientific inaccuracies and truth-stretching. the movie was made to back up the maker's initial beliefs and conclusions. it's mostly right (we are in fact trashing the oceans and over-harvesting what's left), but for the love of poseidon don't go quoting anything from this movie without verifying it first.

If it’s mostly right not sure what the big problem is... or why you discredit it
I am tired of this bothsidesism always finding fault with everything if it’s mostly right

The media can’t be trusted cause they are biased (I will trust CNN over Fox News any day)

the movie confirmed very little. what it did do is take a grain of truth and then expand it into places it should have never been taken, thus diluting its value to a vanishing point. that wikipedia entry lists numerous issues with the movie.
the movie says we shouldn't harvest ANYTING from the sea. that is irresponsible and stupid. like any other natural resource, it can be used sustainably. saying shit like "no more fishing ever" is just going to alienate anyone with half a brain, and generally do a disservice to the environmental cause.
i could go on, but i'll just leave you with this from actual experts:
3 Documentaries to Watch Instead of ‘Seaspiracy’ (https://www.outsideonline.com/2422464/seaspiracy-what-to-watch-instead)
Marine biologists aren’t impressed with Netflix’s hit documentary on ocean conservation. They recommended some other films on the subject for us.
If it’s mostly right not sure what the big problem is... or why you discredit it
I am tired of this bothsidesism
it's not bothsidism, which i also despise. it's the belief that the ends justify the means that gets to me. we get all up in arms when the other side does it but somehow tolerate it when our side does it... i can't abide by that, nor its consequences. i see a lot of equivalency between folks ready to swallow seaspiracy because they're pro-environmentalism so damn the details; and folks on the right who don't truly believe trump's Big Lie but are willing to go along with it because it is in general alignment with their beliefs.

Well the Oscars were last night. I thought they were going a little overboard with the wokeness factor, but then they gave the big acting awards to two old white people, and the documentary to a white guy and his octopus, so it all kind of evened out. J. Phoenix followed up his great winner's speech from last year with the most phoned in presenter's speech ever.
And someone please give Glenn Close an Oscar for anything.

Wait. So recognizing women, people of color and other minorities is only a result of being "woke", and not because they've actually, y'know, accomplished something worthy? And only old white men are actually worthy of winning?

That's what *you* just said, not me. What I would say is:
For example, when three out of five best supporting actor nominees are black, and the industry they work in is heavily white, and the measure of one's performance is completely subjective, yeah, that seems a little bit woke, doesn't it?
-
Tonight I might watch the queen’s gambit
The first episode is a lot of exposition and setting up of pieces (hey! Like Chess!) and pretty dull but the five episodes after that are straight fire. Highly recommend.
-
I don't totally subscribe to Space's view, but I have said on here before in the middle of #OscarsSoWhite that 13-14% of the US population are black and around 16% of Oscar noms in the big four acting categories in the ten years leading up to the #OSW year went to African Americans which seems . . . totally appropriate?
Like there are folks legit upset that Boseman didn't win last night. And that's fine -- people disagree every year about who wins, but to say its because of race is kinda suspect. Again, African-Americans do not have a leg to stand on when it comes to acting noms and wins at the Oscars over the last decade as their numbers outpace their percentage of the population. (Latinos, on the other hand . . . )
I think there is a lot of room of intersectional improvement at the Oscars, but "African Americans" isn't the group I'd point to. What percentage of the Best Picture nominees over the last decade are a story about "a woman does something" vs "a man does something"? (Let me tell you, you'll be stunned if you look. Nomadland is a such an outlier.) Why is no one talking about Latinos (19-20% of the population) getting virtually zero acting nods year in and year out? (Ditto Asian-Americans, pre-Parasite.)
It does feel like we've gotten to the point where any African-American nominee who loses is going to be presented as some sort of covert racism when, like, there's only one trophy and usually 3-4 worthy candidates: someone has to lose.
-

Depends what you mean by woke. If you're implying they were nominating lesser performances by AA actors because of some social policy, I'd likely disagree. This was a weird year with less films released (and less big budget films overall because of COVID which tend to still have majority white casts -- a real lingering issue) so perhaps that is why.
If we are sitting here in 2030 and you're telling me over the last decade 50+% of the big four acting nominations are going to African Americans who make up 15% of the population, then yeah, something has gone askew, but a one-off year with tons of Oscar bait not released and held to 2021 because of COVID is not exactly what I'd hang my hat on.

"Nobody," streaming in Prime.
I love Bob Odenkirk and plan on watching this movie at some point, but I want to say that I would pay money to see 9:30 Forum Hutch play this role.
Summary: When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch (Bob Odenkirk) declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen), seems to pull only further away. The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (Aleksey Serebryakov)—and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.
I'm not usually a fan of films with lots of violence, but this one was thoroughly entertaining.
-
I'd see that
I think you're wife and kid should play those roles too

No idea what that is
These are shows we watch with our kids:
Cobra 🐍 Kai ( l go read a book..too intense for me...everyone else loves it)
Queens gambit (I love chess and the main actress is practically Argentine so love her)
Young Sheldon
Schitt s Creek (nearing the end... not as good anymore... I think I have a crush on Alexis)
Emily in Paris
No more than an episode or two if it’s a 30 minute sitcom
We finished Big Bang theory.. it crashed and burned last few seasons...horrible
We actually need some new shows to add to rotation as are caught up with cobra 🐍 and Emily , near end with schitt creek and queen’s gambit etc so suggestions are very welcome

To Be Someone
starring the original cast of the iconic, cult mods n' rockers film, Quadrophenia.
loosely related
This film was however based on the book sequel, which itself was based on the rock opera. Ray Burdis has specifically said that the movie is not a sequel to the original Quadrophenia movie, though it does feature some of the characters, and is set in the mod subculture
Far as I can tell, no Who or The Jam (the title is taken from them) on the movie soundtrack
some pretty nice scoots tho!

The Sparks Brothers - Official Trailer (2021) Edgar Wright (https://youtu.be/6KkXcs8eBtk)
How can one rock band be successful, underrated, hugely influential, and criminally overlooked all at the same time? Edgar Wright's debut documentary THE SPARKS BROTHERS, which features commentary from celebrity fans Flea, Jane Wiedlin, Beck, Jack Antonoff, Jason Schwartzman, Neil Gaiman, and more, takes audiences on a musical odyssey through five weird and wonderful decades with brothers/bandmates Ron and Russell Mael celebrating the inspiring legacy of Sparks: your favorite band's favorite band.
I'm going to be totally honest, I never even heard of the sparks until A Giant Dog did a cover of Angst in my pants
-
My first exposure to The Sparks was that truly forgettable movie Rollercoaster (1977) and I was a bit creeped out by their image. Never really got it to them, but their cult following is strong and I can take them in small doses now. And honestly the FFS project resonates more with with me than straight up Sparks.

Never really got it to them, but their cult following is strong and I can take them in small doses now. And honestly the FFS project resonates more with with me than straight up Sparks.
My first exposure to Sparks was the dance scene in Rad (1986) where Bart Taylor and the Reynolds twins strut their stuff to Music You Can Dance To before Cru Jones and convict Lori Loughlin bicycle boogie to Real Life's Send Me An Angel.

Going to see the new Conjuring movie tomorrow. Hope it is good!! Watched the first Insidious movie last night. FUCK, that is a great film!! That ending! I am felling fully, possessed.

was curious (but don't really like the genre), but this fact jumped out at me...especially since I never heard of it
Insidious was one of the most profitable films of 2011
a total of $97 million worldwide.

"Nobody," streaming in Prime.
I love Bob Odenkirk and plan on watching this movie at some point, but I want to say that I would pay money to see 9:30 Forum Hutch play this role.
Summary: When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch (Bob Odenkirk) declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake (Gage Munroe), is disappointed in him and his wife, Becca (Connie Nielsen), seems to pull only further away. The aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire and squealing tires, Hutch must save his family from a dangerous adversary (Aleksey Serebryakov)—and ensure that he will never be underestimated as a nobody again.
I'm not usually a fan of films with lots of violence, but this one was thoroughly entertaining.

add to the chorus of Summer of Soul being a must see, it's amazing and the highlight is probably Nina Simone's appearance..
one interesting tidbit was the very end after the credits, Stevie Wonder is seen with a member of his band and i was thinking he looks familiar... someone did the research and it turns it was Gene Key who was his musical director at the time... Gene was a friend of my parents and a well respected arranger.

technically it's two degrees... as I've met Thomas "Beans" Bowels who was a Funk Brother playing Flute and Saxophone. He is credited with doing a flute solo on Fingertips for an obscure album called "The Jazz Soul of Little Stevie Wonder". That flute solo eventually became the Harmonic solo in a little ditty called Fingertips part 2...

BOOM!
Kosmo throwing down

for many many reasons, my parents will always be far cooler than i...

Hmm. Come to think of it, Stevie Wonder stopped into Chuck Levins a few years back, so 2 degrees is well established for some...

I like how you just arrogantly assume none of us are Stevie Wonder or in a sexual relationship with Stevie Wonder.

Going against the thread title ("good movies") technically: anyone see that Many Saints of Newark thing? Woof, what a confounding mess. Movie that very perfectly encapsulates why prequels based on long-running entities are so difficult -- its very hard to balance the desire to make a film that's interesting as a standalone to one not familiar with the source material and also commit the requisite fan service. The plot of this film is in no way interesting to anyone who hasn't seen Sopranos, AND YET, it also doesn't really tonally match the original show.
I feel like people who loved Sopranos aren't going to like this -- it has neither the dark humor or pathos of the original, nor seemingly much of a message compared to any random hour of the original. It has fucking voiceovers from ghosts, for cripe's sake. And it's ostensibly this character study into this major figure in the lives of all the mob guys on Sopranos and the character is wafer thin. Just wafer thin. I come away knowing nothing interesting about Dickie Moltisanti. Nothing. But it had a twisty/reveal-y ending and I guess that's going to carry the day in the filmmakers mind.
(The poster tells us we're going to learn how Tony Soprano came to be Tony Soprano. No we don't. Like not at all. Tony Soprano seems shoehorned into a story about a dude with no understandable motivations or personality to which his connection is TENUOUS at best.)
I truly don't understand why David Simon made this. What was the point? Bad. Some OK acting performances -- young Tony's mom was awesome -- but this script was a dog.

I didn't like Nomadland, and my wife and daughter flat out hated it.
If I wanted to watch a documentary about nomadic people, I'd actually watch a documentary. Not one with rich Hollywood actress hanging out with nomads making a fake story.
Just my opinion, I know it won a gaggle of Oscars and critics loved it and presumably some non-critics did too so I'm probably in the minority.
And I should say, I'm not someone who needs lots of action or positivity to enjoy a show or movie. I just finished Mare of Easttown, which was pretty depressing, and loved it.

My wife is all about non-essential spending and not having a budget. I'm the one who is thrifty.
Anyway, you digressed so I dogressed. What I was going to write was that Prime streaming is free with a membership and I get Hulu for 1.99 a month. Is HDTV going to save me money and give me the same benefits? I didn't really get what Yada was suggesting.

Watched the Sparks doc on Netflix and while it’s well done, I’m still ambivalent about them. Don’t get me wrong they have written some great singles, but I can take or leave much of their catalog.

I felt the same way about the Sparks movie and the band as well. I still think the Mael Brothers would have been a great name for the band in an ironic way; neither of them are the most masculine (in spite of the singer being a high school QB.)
I'll have to check out the other film.

The key - in my mind- to a good biopic and it’s rarely done would be to concentrate the timeframe…almost like a play… and in that “play” tell us everything about the person…. What made them who they are and foreshadowing what’s to come…With good screenplay writing you could set a show in San Francisco- key to having Bill Graham in it- and do an hour before show, some show, and an hour after… it could work really well
Biopics suck cause they all follow this stupid arc of what a cliched rock stars life should be…how can you condense a life to 120 minutes?
Honestly I would set it in the 1971-1974 timeframe…not quite sure the year

what i definitely find interesting from this movie's wiki page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad_Luck_Banging_or_Loony_Porn):
Running time:
106 minutes (International)
86 minutes (United States)
why they hell are they cutting almost 20% of the movie for the US of A? censorship? assumption that attention spans won't last more than 100 minutes here? and:
Budget € 930,000
getting a bunch of major festival nods (including the Oscars) for a million? well done.

My wife and I both really loved "C'mon, C'mon." It was criminal that it received no Oscar nominations. And sadly, it doesn't seem to be on any streaming services? Thank goodness we still have the Netflix dvd subscription.

I kind of agree with Mobius
although National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was a pretty good sequel
I will posit that Evil Dead II was also a great comedy sequel....

If Christmas Vacation counts as a true sequel, then yes, it’s definitely a good comedy sequel.

I just went and saw that ole 90's chestnut, Dark City on the big screen.
Brilliant. Heavy vibes of the Hellraiser and Twelve Monkees. I totally forgot it was the next film after The Crow and was supposed to have Brandon Lee as the lead.

Three things. All comic / nerd related, and two are Marvel related.
I saw The Batman movie, with heavy to low expectations since the lead guy was a total shock to me, to be playing such a role. But damn, was it an excellent film! I put it up there with one of the better superhero films, and maybe top 4 of all Batman films. Not a weak character in the bunch, and what's his name as Bruce Wayne was one of the best portrayals of the person. His Batman role was ok, but not as incredible as him out of the mask. I am very happy that we have another prize installment of the series . . . for them to just fuck up with the next movie.
Now, when it comes to Marvel movies. The last one I saw, the new Doctor Strange Movie, was god awful (pun intended). The first one was really good and told a great story and offered such a fresh, new place for a superhero to give. This movie was hokey and tired and you wanted to like the characters, plus the new girl hero with her trans pin . . . but no, it was awful. I felt taken advantage of when the credits were rolling. I could not give two shits what was there to be seen if you sat or fast forwarded. Thank the lord they left the third eye toward to the end, for I would have cut it off right there if that would have been anywhere else. X-men and Fantastic 4 crossovers? No. Hell to the NO. It almost ruined what WandaVision set to create!
The last point is the new Thor film. I have not seen it, but I have hardcore Marvel friends who have and saw Doctor Strange. They say that Thor was pure garbage, mama, garbage. And that Gorr was the only bright spot. We all are starting to agree, that the age of Marvel is over and this new generation of what they are doing post the show, Loki . . . is not working anymore. Such as the way Star Wars keeps teetering toward that line.
That's, it.
-
this new generation of what they are doing post the show, Loki . . . is not working anymore.
I thought Loki was one of the best Marvel things to come out in the last few years (after Legion)
I'm not sure if you are saying you like it with this comment or hate it?

Thanks for this. People need to throw trigger warnings on posts I don't care about more often so I don't waste any precious Julian's Seconds.

Worshipped Loki! I thought it was brilliant! The introduction of the new supervillain at the end was also great! I just loved the story telling of the show as a whole, and what's his name is so incredible as Loki. I can never remember names, as you can see.

This whole The Little Mermaid thing is crazy, from this personal experience.
I remember when the first film came out, and me having no desire to see a Disney animated film for kids . . . with singing! No way! Even up until today, when I heard they were making a live action remake, my first reaction was "another one of those things; really?" and then, "I still hate Disney films for kids, with singing."
Then the whole, horrible racism garbage started, right on the heels of the new LOTR, though I think people knew about The Little Mermaid before LOTR came out? It has consumed all aspects of this movie, so much so that one would think how shitty it must be that the film will not even be judged on its merits, with all this bullshit attached to it.
Then I broke down and watched the teaser trailer that everyone is talking about. The first 30 seconds or so, ok, it is what I expected . . . and then that girl opened her mouth and began to sing; at that moment in time, all else did not matter; nothing that I had read or heard or thought about a film called The Little Mermaid went out the window, as I was somehow transported to a literal someplace else. It was magical and it a was talent that you know she will be there with us for a very long time.
Wow. I think I want to go see a Disney film, meant for kids, with singing.

Goth's 9-minute monologue alone makes her worthy of a nomination. While i love a good slasher flick and X delivers, Pearl is a superior technicolor nightmare. Can't wait for Maxxxine, which Goth just claimed has the best script of the trilogy.

It's excellent and worthy of a watch for Blanchett alone. Imagine it's the front-runner for best picture, but we all know how that story has gone as of late.

My Old School currently on Hulu
It's a documentary about 30 year old who goes back to his old primary school in Scotland and poses as a 17 year for two years there in 1995. When it was discovered it got wide press coverage over there. For whatever reason the subject while interview declined to have is face shown in the film, so Alan Cummings does the lip syncing for that. So if you enjoy listening to Scottish accents as the students in his class and teach all do on camera interview, it's a interesting watch. And yes the crude Beavis and Butthead animation used on occasion is a bit jarring it doesn't fully detract from this fascinating tale.
-
Emily the Criminal (Netflix) is an underrated gem.
The Banshees of Ed Sheeran (HBO) is as good as they say.

I didn’t get this. It wasn’t bad but it seemed like it very much was dedicated to hamfisting an Irish Civil War metaphor into its plot, in which, honestly really nothing happens for 105 minutes.
I would never watch this film a second time. I just don’t get the raves.

Being cheap means you don't pay $15 a pop to see a movie in the theater, because your movie dollars are already going to five different streaming services and a two DVD at a time Netflix subscription (yes, it still exists, there are numerous (but dwindling) new releases that come out on DVD that don't come out on my five streaming services.)
Having a kid means never seeing Oscar nominated movies or any top notch foreign or indie films at the theater. Because why pay $45 for a movie when you're going to see it on a streaming service or Netflix DVD. Instead, it means paying $15 a pop to see Cocaine Bear on opening weekend. Sigh.
-
I've seen very few movies in the theaters in the last decade, but i will say it's a much different experience and sometimes well worth it
Comedy and horror are really great to see in theaters, as the crowd is a part of the experience
Scifi/nature docs also can be amazing in theaters
I've never done any of those 'live concert' experiences, but every time I've watched any concert on TV, it's been so lame and nothing like a live show. But could see those one-day-only live ones could be cool
When my kids go to the theater, I also have to budget $25 for a snack and drink...that always stings
And now they sell beer at lots of theaters, so I'm like I'll get one or two. Next thing you know it cost over $100 for the 4 of us to see a movie
-
Yeah ,I hear ya on the in person aspect.
I'd just rather buget my entertainment dollar toward live shows and crafy beer than the mall cineplex.
My wife and daughter sometimes sneak snacks into the movie, but sometimes buy the crap popcorn. Me, I feel no need to eat anything. And beer at the movie would just make me have to pee during the movie.

If you are a fan of the Luther TV series proceed with caution regarding the Luther Movie.
The movies isn't horrible it's just missing most of the elements that made the series great, no witty banter, the crazy developed over a couple episodes, etc.
The movie is basically Luther re-imaged as a Bond type agent/action movie, will well numerous plot holes.

Which one to watch first on Netflix this weekend. It's going to be a hard decision. A German comedy called "Hard Feelings" in which teen's genitals start talking to them, or a Swedish comedy called "The Year I Started Masturbating."
I think genitals speaking in German probably wins.

on a related note, this came out in 2002 and looks good
Soul Jazz Records Presents Studio One Story
but just isn't available except for the archive (https://archive.org/details/TheStudioOneStoryReggaeDocumentary2002) or shitty youtube
Studio One Story is a truly unique documentary in which the Clement Dodd gave unprecedented personal access to tell the previously untold story of how he and the many artists and musicians at Studio One literally shaped the rise of Reggae music from the 1950s onwards through to the late 1970s.
The 4 hour documentary (including over an hour of extras) was filmed on location in Kingston, Jamaica and features interviews with Horace Andy, Alton Ellis, Ken Boothe, Sugar Minott, Denis Alcapone, The Ethiopians, Sylvan Morris, Johnny Moore, Lone Ranger, King Stitt and many others. The DVD also includes rare footage of The Skatalites, Jackie Mittoo, Count Ossie, Marcia Griffiths and others.
Talk about rabbit hole...saw a post where Paul McArtney was talking about being in Jamacia 1971 and how his wife had turned him on to "tighten up" ...first thought was ..that's Archie Bell and the Drells...and we're from Huston texas
but found out Tighen Up was a great series of albums put out by Trojan (https://www.allmusic.com/album/tighten-up-vol-1-6-trojan-reggae-classics-1968-1974-mw0000659344) and how most of the skinheads got turned on to the music
What's crazy as AB & the Ds Tighen up is...they recorded it, released it and Archie bell got drafted to go to veitnam before it became a hit
served his time and came back, but by that time the thrill was gone and they couldn't get that spark back
also TSU Toronados were the backing band...sadly creating some of the earliest Funk groves receviced no credit at the time
It was in this capacity that the group backed some studio sessions by a vocal group from Houston called Archie Bell & the Drells. Bell and his partner Billy Butler set lyrics to a funky riff the Toronados had been playing on their club dates, and the result was "Tighten Up," a number one smash in 1968.

Spinal Tap sequel
Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer are set to return as the members of Spinal Tap, alongside Reiner as the documentarian Martin "Marty" Di Bergi. The sequel is said to mimic the style of Martin Scorsese's "The Last Waltz," the legendary concert film

No Hard Feelings on Netflix was a lot of fun.

As usual, the only time I get to see movies are typically on a flight.
As a huge fan of Wes Anderson, I was incredibly bummed that I couldn't even get through 30 minutes of "Asteroid City."
Utterly terrible.

So I haven't seen it, but WA movies are not ordinary movies
I don't think can translate well is to a small screen on an airplane
His movies are very cinematic and spend lots of time slowly moving through an expansive environment

I'm aware... however, I don't think this movie would be good even at The Sphere.

I saw it.
It definitely underwhelmed me but I hace just accepted I really like his style so I enjoyed it very much while I watch…
It was a bit strange and seemed to be a story within a story…didn’t leave me with much as is usual with his movies…
I just love Wes Anderson. It’s like his own universe of moviemaking. Watching his films is like eating cotton candy.
One of the last great old school Directors. Such an identity.
-
I’m a long time Wes Anderson fan but I gotta say his last two films lost me a bit. I do think the “story within a story” element of their plots is part of it.

I think a framed narrative, on its own, is not a problem. That exists in many great movies. The fact that they kept pulling us out of it so dramatically for an ever expanding cast of characters we don't have any reason to care about is the problem.
For example, take Forest Gump, a movie that did not deserve a bunch of Oscars but is not "bad". The story within a story still involves the same people. Played by the same actors, for the most part. It did not feel like a shoehorned thing; it seemed like a way to start the narrative "in the middle" which is somewhat interesting.
Or Princess Bride or Neverending Story from when we were kids. The world (within the film) where the character is encountering the "story" is such a small part of the film and feels diegetic.
Wes Anderson's most recent two do neither of those things. In French Dispatch, it just seems like a way to take 3 short films and call them one conclusive whole. We do not care about anyone who works at that publication. There are no stakes. We are not given enough time with them to understand why we should care about them. The plot purpose they serve is a bunch of WA's favorites getting to hang out on set. Very similar in Asteroid City. I cannot understand any reason to tell these stories this way other than "shorts don't sell tickets" and "I want to hang out with my friends and get a paycheck."

that is an accurate take, I really didn't care for anyone in the FD...don't even think I finished watching
unlike movies like the Royal T, Steve Z or Rushmore where you really wanted to learn about the characters

This is fairly accurate

8 bucks for movies before 11am. Can't beat that.
Beats the $28 each my wife and daughter paid for the Beyonce movie tickets.

Same, to some degree. But my kid really seems to enjoy seeing movies on the big screen. I think this is the first time we saw a movie on the big screen that was *my* choice in like 15 years or so.
It's nice to have a kid who is of the age where she appreciates at least some of the entertainment that I like. No more animated films that I would fall asleep in the theater despite trying my best not to and thank goodness she never liked comic book based movies or Star Wars shit (sorry NKOTB, I hope I don't lose bestie status for saying that.)

Well this year's Xmas morning movie selection was ...Poor Things.
It seems like this movie could have easily been rated NC-17. But it wasn't, so in we went.
Emma Stone for the win. An unsettling yet ultimately satisfying experience.
My kid commented that she wasn't overwhelmed by the proceedings, but she didn't get the point of the movie.
I posited that I thought the point of the movie was that men shouldn't try to control women.
Her reply was "But who doesn't already believe that?"
Oh what a bubble she lives in.
Maybe we should have seen the wrasslin movie or the boat movie instead.
-
boat movie was ok, but ferrari was real good.
-
I liked Killers of the Flower Moon more than Barbie, but less than Poor Things and the Holdovers.
So the Oscar for best musician acting in Killers of the Flower Moon goes to whom?
Jason Isbell
Pete Yorn
Sturgill Simpson
Terry Allen
Jack White
Charlie Musselwhite

I’m watching the Netflix documentary about the making of We are the World that just came out.
On the car ride home, I was telling my daughter about it. There was one part where Paul Simon looked up to Kenny Loggins and said “If they dropped a bomb on this place, John Denver would be right back on top,” I told this story to my daughter and she said, “The only name I recognize in that story is Obama. Is this song famous or something?”
Then there was another story where Ray Charles needed to use the bathroom and Stevie Wonder showed him where it was and someone said “”It was the blind leading the blind.” And my daughter asked “Wait, Stevie Wonder is blind?"

Imagine if you can remember, my soft, mumbly voice, telling a story quickly. And my teenager, worn out from a long day at school only half listening. And then imagine hearing me mumble "a bomb on."
I think she heard it as "If they dropped Obama, John Denver would be right back on top."
She completely had no clue what this song was. I mentioned that they made it in 1984 (I was wrong, it was March 1985), and she asked "Wasn't that a book?"
And I haven't even had a drink since Friday.

Great recommendation. Love movies that make me physically sick.

The video is shown occasionally on Vevo 80s and I'm astounded at how many of them are still alive.

I would really look for an opportunity to see it on a big screen with a movie theatre soundsystem but it’s definitely worth watching either way.
