Flow - 2024

This movie was fantastic.  Spirited Away meets Bambi meets Watership Down meets Apocalypse Now meets I don't know what the fuck.

Emotional as hell.  I don't want to read  about it for fear of the explanation being something I can understand.  It felt like deja vu, and maybe mortality or immortality.

No words.

Gummie free.  Flashback to 'shroom experience is the only explanation I have.

Did you see it?  Maybe it's my age but I just accepted that it was some kind of allegory or metaphor or something or other and it really got my brain, and my head, and my mind going. The imagery was really beautiful and frightening at the same time.  

Plus the cat reminded me of our little minpin dog.

Road to Perdition was on Flix this morning, just a phenomenal movie all around. 

More than enough reason to post this:

Score and cinematography.  Nuff said

The Long Goodbye (1968)

highly recommended 

Like a date on a perfect Spring night with a good-looking girl where everything goes better than expected. Robert Altman directed, just right all around with Elliot Gould as PI Philip Marlowe and Sterling Hayden, MLB Jim Bouton, the lovely lithe, bronzed and blonde Nina Van Pallandt (still alive!), a cast of good fits and an orange tabby cat 🐈 who stole the show.  Music works, too.

Quite a different movie than what Steamboat just watched. This never fails to make me laugh. It’s just pure silliness. Also, Kristine DeBell was extremely cute even a few years after her film debut in the porno Alice In Wonderland and her being the cover model for Playboy in April 1976.

shooter. now this is a popcorn flick. most of the people around here have bastardized the term “popcorn flick” to simply refer to every terrible, unwatchable action movie, but this one actually meets the definition. it’s cheesier than hell (the two main characters are nick memphis and bob lee swagger? everyone in the movie besides markie mark has a deep south or appalachian accent? the hot chick speaks like a ranch hand from the late 19th century? so many unintentional laugh out loud moments), but the story is fun enough and interesting enough to keep you going. it’s a good movie to throw on tv on a sunday afternoon.

Another of that dudes suggestions....The Collector.

Meat murder train was better. This does have a Saw vibe to it though

He isn't straight horror, but he promotes a lot of horror ones..... jeffrauseo 

I am in the middle of watching this gem from 1995 lmao  that has a weird ass cast.  Clint Howard creepy as fuck, Steve Garvey, Jan-Michael Vincent, fucking Doug Llewellyn from People's Court, Lee Majors II....yes II not Lee Majors.

Just watched back to back on TCM

On The Waterfront 

In The Heat Of The Night

Rod Steiger is incredible and Sidney Poitier is spectacular.

“Thuh motive, which is munneh, and thuh bodeh, which is dead!” (Maybe paraphrasing, but Rod nailed that line.)

A few VERY different ones:

Chinatown - I read a book a few months ago about Robert Evans, Chinatown and the undoing of "Old Hollywood".  That era fascinates me.  I hadn't seen the movie in probably 20 years and it didn't speak to me at the time, so I went back to it.  This may be a controversial opinion, but this movie is damn good.  Definitely better than any movie about water rights has any right to be.  Nicholson in KING mode.

Drop - Had good reviews, so gave it a shot.  Really enjoyed it for what it is.  Definitely a throw back to the 50 movies like this in the 90's.  Some of the tech stuff was a little clunky, but the tension builds well and it moves at a good clip.  Very Hitchcockian feel.  Megan Fahy is great and I hope she gets more shots.  Sort of a random thought, but the opening had a very classic opening credits sequence that has gone out of style.  The opening credits for something like Fight Club is still seared into my memory and I miss those.

Magnolia - I started a PTA rewatch and got to this one.  I don't think I have seen it since the theaters.  It is still overlong and confounding in parts, but there is so much good in there.  Easily the best performance of Cruise's career.  The close of that section is just devastating.  He could have easily cut the quiz show parts, and possibly Julianne Moore (bless her) and saved time.  I love that late 90's Aimee Mann era and her songs fit so neatly with the movie.  It is crazy that a 29 YO PTA was able to so clearly convey regret and the resulting pain from the actions of parents.  A worthwhile near miss.

Chinatown is a gotdang masterpiece. It goes toe to toe with any film noir.

Watched Number 24 on Netflix on my Dad's recommendation.  Outstanding movie about the Norwegian resistance during WWII. It's a Norwegian film so you can watch it dubbed in English or Norwegian with English subtitles. I watched it with the subtitles. Some really strong performances by the actors.

I just watched Grease with my Mom while visiting her for her birthday. She used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. I’ve probably seen it 20 times but I never actually saw the opening scene where Danny and Sandy are together on the beach. Mom always had me on snack duty at the beginning, so I just thought the movie opened with the cartoon music scene. The movie actually made a whole lot more sense now instead of just piecing the romance together from the songs. I feel kinda stupid but my Mom was so happy thinking I was genuinely interested in the movie after all this time.

Working my way through some old noir movies.  The Third Man tonight. Really enjoyed it. Vienna was the best character imo

 

I've watched that a couple times. It's a dandy for sure. One of my grandfathers was born in Vienna so I pretty much like all that sort of stuff.

The Order - Jude Law in an early-80s FBI crime thriller about investigating some white supremacists in Washington state. Based on a true story and really well done. It looks and sounds great, great music, and Law plays a great grizzled FBI veteran. It’s on Hulu.

I watched Conclave and thought it was great. Excellent acting and photography and a good mystery. I’ve always been fascinated by the pope, cardinal, election process of the Catholic Church. It has been shown before in The Shoes of the Fisherman and Angels and Demons. I would also recommend Conclave. We need more movies like that.

Seen all of those except Conclave and it's on my list. 

RPM, did you see Conclave yet?
