The movie you just watched

[ztejas 43547]

Last page was funny. I cant stand Renner or Amy Adams. They basically ruined Arrival for me. 

I dont know what it is, I mean they can both obviously act. Just something turns me off about those two.

For any other anime dweebs, watched Galaxy Express 999 the other night. Couldn't get enough of it. Weird but not too weird - reminded me A LOT of the original Star Wars.

Secret Life of Pets 2. Took about half the movie to get used to Patton oswalts softer, chubbier voice compared to Louis CK, but ultimately this was better than the first one

Winchester. Wasn't sure what to expect, but Helen Mirren so I was in. Turned out to be a really good horror flick. Side note: It was produced by Blacklab Entertainment.

so the snowcone guy falls through a trapdoor into a scat room?

The Dead Don't Die.  I like Jarmusch but everything in this one was way too on the nose and didn't really work.

[billfromlaketravis 11541]

I'm watching Mystic River right now. Damn it's still good. It just scratches the surface of what peak Sean Penn could have been as an Irish Mob boss. It's not a gangster movie, but you see the flashes from Penn. "IS THAT MY DAUGHTER IN THERE?!" is overacting, but I kind of think it works in the context of the film. Kevin Bacon always good in everything. Probably Tim Robbin's second best role. 

State of Grace should have worked with that cast, but it just didn't. Probably came out 10-15 years too early. 

[Continental Op 3934]

Dragged Across Concrete.  If you dig S. Craig Zahler's other stuff then you'll dig this too.  9/10. 

[kingkoopa6 8378]

Lol at Pawny in the new men in black movie. Little guy was funny 

[TexArcher 38078]

Outlaw King.

Meh.

[Continental Op 3934]

Human Desire (1954) - One of the later entries in Fritz Lang's American filmography.  Very stilted and soap opera-ish.  Skip it and watch The Big Heat instead.  

[tx 3 putt 77551]

A Star is Born - damn good movie 

[Underdog 28798]

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone -  Alan Arkin is a GD treasure. 

[RPM 26360]

The Front Runner. Hugh Jackson as former Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart who was taken down by an affair story.

A lot of interesting behind the scenes stories. J.K. Simmons and Vera Farmiga costar.

[Mach 1 1677]

I caught Risky Business yesterday.  Random thoughts:

- Perfect 80s time capsule that stands up to time.  Still highly entertaining.

- Had to check the credits after, had some Michael Mann touches in it.

- With the subject matter, I don't think they could make it today.  Even if they did, know one would believe you could throw a party like that on the North shore of Chicago without the cops being called in 5 seconds.

- The hookers at the party all looked like they stepped out of a Nagel print

- I would've given a good chunk of my college tuition for a session with Rebecca DeMornay

- Got me to research vintage 928 values.  Might be a future project.

There is no substitute.

Brotherhood of the Wolf. Monica Bellucci is pure smoke and banged proper. The French are some weird folks.

Took the family to see the new Aladdin movie.  Quite entertaining.  8/10 minimum. 

[Continental Op 3934]

Final Exam - Boring 1981 slasher movie.  It takes over an hour to get going and nothing remotely interesting happens once it does.  0/10. 

[Rougarou 594]

Murder Mystery: Netflix original with Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston. I enjoy all the crappy NFLX originals; I'm the only one I know who actually liked Sandy Wexler, so my opinion doesn't count and is clearly biased with these fun films.

The Mule: My parents saw this and said it was meh, everyone I talked to said it was meh, so I was pretty low expectations going into it and thought it was pretty solid. I just thorougly enjoy Clint Eastwood being a crotechety old man and inadvertantly saying racist things or asshole things because he's just old with no filter.

His acting range knows no bounds.

Hail, Caesar. Was expecting a better story or movie or something. Brolin was really good here but the story wasn’t very compelling. I’d call this a rare miss from the Coen Bros.

I thought that movie was terrible.

I think they just made it as an excuse to do the sendups of old movies.  It's definitely lesser Coen Bros but I enjoyed it.  

[Rougarou 594]

Finally saw Crazy Heart on a plane today. Who wore it better? Bradley Cooper in A Star is Born or Bridges as Bad Blake?

[wutang75 452]

Dragged Across Concrete.  If you dig S. Craig Zahler's other stuff then you'll dig this too.  9/10. 

All over this. Bone Tomahawk is awesome.

It had a pretty amazing cast: Brolin and Clooney obviously, but Jonah Hill, ScarJo, McDormand obviously, Channing Tatum, Wayne Knight(!), Tilda, etc.

The Third Man.  Boring as fuck.  I don't get it.  Orson Welles is zzzzzzzz

My chick and I watched this recently. I had low expectations but it was pretty good. I don't understand why he talked that way but whatever. Didn't ruin the movie for me.

I took my kids and we all universally agreed it was awful and didn't hold a candle to the first one.

If you haven't seen Brawl On Cell Block 99 pair it with Dragged Across Concrete for a nice 5 hour long double feature.

Interesting indeed. My family universally agreed the opposite. We clearly should fight in a battle royale.

[Rougarou 594]

Just saw Vice on a plane. Took me a double take but the costume/makeup they did to transform Bale to Cheney is awesome. Also Amy Adams hit it out of the park. Also lol at learning Tyler Perry was Colin powell.

As someone who was very young during that era it was also enlightening. In certain areas I grew in my disgust and contempt and in others in my empathy.

Anna.

dracula and peaky blinders dude were great

If you liked Anna, you would love Hanna.  

 

 

[Fozzz 152]

Awesome film. 

[RPM 26360]

If you liked Chernobyl, you'll like The Icebreaker (Ledokol). 2016 Russian film about the breaker Mikhail Gromov that got stuck in the Ross sea in 1985 and the ensuing clusterfuck that nearly killed them all. All in Russian with subtitles on Amazon.

Brooklyn's Finest. I'm a sucker for New York cop films, but there are some Wire-ish elements to the film.It scratches the surface of Wesley Snipes as a crime boss. What could have been. Cheadle is good in everything. 

It's also a flawed film. Not the right roles for Ethan Hawk and Richard Gere, but Gere pulls it off better.

Speaking of New York cop flicks, just watched we own the night on a plane yesterday. Good flick.

[Continental Op 3934]

Child's Play (2019) - Didn't really work as a satire or a horror movie.  Meh.

Watched Lone Star, which bored the **** out of my wife due to its length, but I thought it was outstanding. Instead of bashing you over the head with social issues like say, Crash, it weaves the issues in and out of the story masterfully in the backdrop of an interesting murder mystery. 9/10.

lone star is tremendous, and about as texas as a movie can get.  haven’t watched it in a couple years, will remedy that and right soon. 

[Underdog 28798]

Plus, Liz Pena may have been at her peak or damn near close to it.

Phoenix is great and Eva Mendes gets naked. I think I like every movie with a scene in Katz Delicatessen.

It is tremendous, and I never noticed it being a long flick, although now I see the run time is 2 hours and 15 mins.

Paths of Glory -  Solid early Kubrick.  

[Rougarou 594]

American Airlines comes out with new movies on Monday; I've seen all the current ones except the stupid ones. I almost watched Bumblebee it's gotten so bad.

[wild_turkey 3185]

A Star is Born - damn good movie 

Watched this for the second time last night. It’s probably my favorite movie released in the last 2 years. I think I enjoyed it more the second time around.
