cowolter 1 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Watched Moonrise Kingdom (2012) for the first time ever last week and was absolutely blown away. Tremendous film, easily makes my top 5. When I finished, I immediately started it over and watched it a second time. Other movies I saw: Ford v Ferrari Knives Out Link to post Share on other sites
cowolter 1 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Rewatched Father of the Bride Part II Last Night Because My wife had never seen It... And that’s a top-level mid-90s kitchen from Nancy. Need a patreon exclusive with Romilly’s thoughts on it now! printsbery Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Greenland - big gerard butler fan, as you know. really good movie. really well done, i would give it 4/5 stars. really love movies this like. The Tomorrow War - it was fine. could have been better. I kind of feel like Chris Pratt mailed it in, but maybe he was going for understated. i won't go into the plot holes, but there were a few big ones. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,768 Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 The worst movie I've seen recently is The Midnight Sky. Clooney should be ashamed of that mess. (His acting is fantastic. His direction is horrific.) I haven't even heard of either of those movies you mentioned. I'll check out Greenland. Link to post Share on other sites

Olive00 0 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Watched 'Parasite' recently, and although I haven't actually seen any of the films it beat out for best picture I think it's probably deserved. I've loved all of Bong Joon-Ho's prior films for their uniqueness and absurdism and this was no exception. The best I've heard it described is as a more perfect version of Snowpiercer. Highly recommended. Link to post Share on other sites

SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA what a great movie. i dont know how i hadnt seen it or even (i dont think) ever heard of it before this. movies of today can never compete with movies of the 80s and 90s. its just not possible, life was simply better back then. i couldnt believe what happened to Chance, didnt see it coming.

SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Classic John Wayne film i found on amazon prime. i enjoyed it like most of his movies, but i thought the end was rushed. then i read the wiki and it turns out a stunt guy died doing a horse jump near the end so the director scrapped the planned ending. wild stuff.

MyronCope 25 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 The Brutalist. Hell of a good movie Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I havent made the commitment to watch the brutalist yet. just havent felt the calling. watched THE IRISHMAN again last night. i liked it more this time than the first two. i still think they should have cast Leo as the younger Shearan and got someone to play the younger Buffalino for a few scenes. Probably let Pacino do the whole Hoffa part. If you get Leo for the younger part you might have one of the all timers on your hands. Link to post Share on other sites
MyronCope 25 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I really wish I'd seen the brutalist in theater in as big of screen as possible because it's shot beautifully. It's a very long story, and not exactly an uplifting tale but it is superbly written and acted and looks gorgeous. I can't get over it, I've been thinking about it all day.

SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 i watched LA CONFIDENTIAL again for the rewatchables. it gets better every time i see it. i'm going to miss chris ryan month. so nice to have only good movies as the choices and only the core team on there, like the old days.

SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 EL CAMINO: A Breaking Bad Movie watched the series again and finished off this movie. it was better than i remember from when it came out. i have more appreiciation for Jessie's suffering this time around. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 25th Hour. Not sure how i hadnt seen it before, it was really great. It really is amazing the world before iphones and social media, just seeing that in movies from those days is so awesome to see. they did a really great job of portraying the melancholy of a world where the light was about to go out and that desire to run away and find someplace else. but you know you can't, no matter how much you want to. felt that way all of my life despite the truth that i could run away whenever i want to.

SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 There's Something About Mary Watched it so i could listen to the rewwatchables. holds up really well, still very funny. i think it helped it had been god only knows how long since i had seen it. i have to agree with them, i appreciated Matt Dillon way more this time than i did 25 years ago.

SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 STRIKING DISTANCE they just don't make movies like this anymore and we're all worse for it. really makes me wish i'd been pittsburgh river police back in the 80s/90s before society was ruined. especially if they give a partner like a young SJP. she really had me going last night.

SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 ANIMAL HOUSE still a classic, after all these years. looking forward to the rewatchables listen on this one and hopefully without fennessey we can avoid bogging down the disucssion with what didnt age well. Link to post Share on other sites
SuitedAces21 2,741 Posted Monday at 11:57 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:57 PM THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES. watched it with my mom yesterday. i hadnt seen it in forever and i still greatly enjoyed it and think its really good. she was less than impressed and was not at all convinced that the mothman is out there trying to warn us. but i still believe. i thought it did a really good job of using the camera to make it feel like someone is watching you. like this shot from the beginning.
