Juliet Naked - Would have been better if Linklater directed it.   Has Linklater directed a Hornby novel, before?

Margin Call - watched to commemorate the ten year anniversary of the recession and this is still a great movie.   Standouts all, but especially Irons.  Loved that he picked up the lion doll when talking to Moore.

Watched Red Sparrow last night. Not the greatest spy flick I've seen, but nude JLaw makes it watchable.

Watermelon Man - Godfrey Cambridge (1970)

Bigoted white insurance salesman wakes up one day and he's black. My oh my, how his world changed. Godfrey Cambridge was a one of my favorite comedians of that era and this was his best work. Very funny and edgy for the times. This was 4 years before Blazing Saddles.

Young and Beautiful (2013)

young-and-beautiful-young-and-beautiful-

A young girl's strange, erotic journey from Milan to Minsk.  Or at least from Paris to southern France.

 

(Actually not terrible - Francois Ozon directed, who does some pretty sexy flicks.)

Lots of n00ds?

Nah, not really.  The main character is very sexy:

but the boobs while very pretty, cause some consternation regarding the legality...

All in all, not near as interesting as Swimming Pool or Frantz (other Ozon) but this Marine Vacth is pretty striking.  She did another movie called "Double Lover" with Ozon which I will report on shortly.

Finally got around to watching Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind.

Movie sucked.....or perhaps I just lack the intelligence to understand, such a complex masterpiece.

I should have just dusted my baseboards.

Your opinion is wrong.

Watched Chappaquidick (sp) on a flight last night.   Was actually very good.  Ed Helms made me chuckle when he woke up on the floor of the cabin after the party.  Hangover call out.

Thought it was hilarious and lol’ed on the plane against my will. I thought two things made this movie really enjoyable for me:

1) the music was amazingly curated. From danzig to crash test dummies to 90’s rap, and added texture to the scenes. Exceptional way to use music.

2) the casting was pretty spot on. The four complimentary personas. I really enjoyed them all and liked Hannibal probably the best which is weird because I thought I was out on him (he Silicon Valley guy part had me dead)

2.5) the real life angle brought it down to earth and made it real which added some emotional depth to the end, surprisingly.

Found this movie Endless and had 94% RT rating or something like that.  It was supposed to be sci-fi/thriller/horror.  

But in fact it's a film school level production with horrible acting.

Lighting, post production, direction were all terrible and I kept waiting for the finale - something to polish this turd - but nothing happened.  It ended and I was left with the thought of, well there goes 2 hours of my life that I'll never get back.

 

Check it out.

Upgrade is a really well done Sci-Fi flick. Sort of a like a science fiction version of Death Wish. Quite a few homages to 2001 as well. It didn't get much publicity when it was released in theaters but I think it definitely deserves its 87% on RT.

 

Highly recommend.

Saw Black Panther last night.  I enjoyed it--or at least I was entertained.  But I guess I was expecting more.  Seemed like everyone went on and on about what a great movie it was.

Saw Blockers last week based on a recommendation from a guy at work.  I was skeptical, and for good reason.  I can't believe I paid for that POS.  At least it was only $6 for PPV and not $100+ for tickets, drinks, snacks, babysitter, etc to see it in the theater.

So fucking depressed by the news of FilmStruck shuttering.  Guess i'll have to catch up on the 10,000 superhero movies that have been put out over the past decade.

The Post on HBO. Not great, not terrible either. Good for getting someone to read more about what really happened. It kind of told the story but from the wrong POV. Should have been from the NYT side, since they were the ones who really took the big chance. The Post probably should have been about what followed, maybe starting with them being part of the Pentagon Papers Supreme Court trial and making it's way into their real blockbuster story, Watergate.

Also Gardens of Stone.  Another great cast. 

Gardens of Stone is a 1987 American drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, based on the novel of the same title by Nicholas Proffitt. It stars James Caan , Anjelica Huston , James Earl Jones , D. B. Sweeney , Dean Stockwell and Mary Stuart Masterson .

The Old Guard is responsible for Arlington Cemetery.  This is a story about them during Viet Nam. 

Also has Lawrence Fishburne in it, but he is credited as Larry, not Lawrence. 

It's part of Amazon Prime right now.
