Michael Corleone posted:I thought it was OK, nothing great, but it takes place in Cleveland. I have seen a lot of these lower budget flicks taking place here, pretty cool I guess. I think it's more than OK - I think Schraeder did a good job showing that he can run laps around most filmmakers trying to pull a "neo-noir" nowadays. It's also the perfect double feature option for The Trust - which is better.

Looking for something mysterious with a dark atmosphere to watch on this snow day. Doesn't have to be horror on anything but horror is fine. I was thinking the wailing but I'm not sure I'm in the mood for 2.5 hours and subtitles.

It's only about 70 minutes long but fits the "mysterious with a dark atmosphere" description pretty well. My only caveat is that it's still in theaters so the rental is a bit pricey.

Is Sideways streaming anywhere? I keep hoping it's going to show up on Netflix or Amazon, but I've had both for years and I don't think it ever has.

A guy shoots a burglar in his home and the dead guy's father comes after him and it goes from there. There's much more too it but I don't want to give anything away. Stars Michael C Hall, Don Johnson, and Sam Shepard. Also has one of those synth scores that are pretty trendy. Note lots of this movie takes place during the day time so it's very dark in tone and subject matter but not necessarily in the literal sense.

Free on Vudu, it does have ads though and I haven't streamed through them so I can't say if it's good quality but hey, free. Also, on Netflix, we got Uwe Boll's last and third Rampage movie, the first two are ridiculous and dumb but oh so entertaining. Aaaand the Indiana Jones movies are on Hulu and Prime.

Rewatching the 70s/80s Supermans for the first time in maybe 20 years and maaaan, are these some weird movies. Like everything about them seems so peculiar, from the structure and pacing to the casting choices to the stories themselves. I'm simultaneously impressed by the technical merit and put off by the folksy misogyny and that bit about time travel. Like, that was stupid even in 1978, right?

I actually love "Still in theaters" rental stuff so that's always a welcome suggestion.

Which casting choices did you find peculiar? From the big names (Brando, Hackman, and Reeve -- as an aside, pretty funny that the guy playing the title character and who is on screen 90% of the film gets third billing, but then again he was an unknown and going up against two of the biggest of the era) to the smaller roles like Jackie Cooper and Glenn Ford, I think they all work pretty well. And just to mention it, the opening title sequence for the first film is one of the best ever, and that first sequence where Superman saves Lois in the helicopter is pretty darn awesome as well.

I should explain that by peculiar, I don't necessarily mean bad. I thought Cooper & Reeves were pitch perfect. Brando was so weird in what was barely more than a cameo. He brought so much gravitas to Jor-El. Beatty was an odd choice too considering his resume to that point included Network and Deliverance. Playing a bumbling sidekick after this performance was an interesting career turn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuBe93FMiJc Hackman, Kidder, and Perrine all felt a bit off too based on their resumes but nothing I can point to specifically.

david_a posted:Superman II is the theatrical cut, right? I suppose that's the one I have nostalgia for since it was on TV multiple times when I was little, but is the Donner Cut or whatever it's called worth watching? I think the Donner Cut is interesting only in comparison to the theatrical cut. For the most part it adds Brando back in whenever Lara appeared. This has the advantage of continuing the themes of Supes rejecting his father's guidance from the end of Superman I. However, other things that change muddy the story of the Kryptonians. It's supposed to make them more dangerous and less funny but it only serves the latter. In retrospect, I think the funny bits make Zod more campy. He wouldn't nearly be so endearing with all his Kneels without that camp. Oh and it also removes the weird kiss at the end of the theatrical cut and doesn't end with Supes dropping Zod and co. into bottomless pits. If you care about your Superman not killing off his enemies, that's a plus.

Welp, visiting Canada made me realize that US Netflix really is laughable garbage. There are actually good, current movies and tv shows on Canadian Netflix and I can't even begin to understand how the US service is so lovely by comparison. Semi-related: The SyFy show Van Helsing is loving terrible, holy christ.

The Donner Cut is worth watching as an artifact of history, but it uses so much of the stuff that Lester shot, and Lester's shooting style doesn't match with Donner's editing style, resulting in a lot of it feeling off. There are also questions of just how closely Donner was involved in the production of the Donner Cut; Michael Thau, basically a Donner uber-fan who produced the project and personally did the re-editing, went back and forth on the level of Donner's involvement, and they only started saying he was personally overseeing the re-edit a few months before the DVD was released. (It wouldn't be the first time that's happened; back when Star Trek: The Motion Picture was re-done as The Director's Edition for its DVD release, David Fein and Mike Matessino swore up and down that they were working hand-in-hand with Robert Wise and that Wise was personally re-cutting the film. Then it turned out that Wise was in terrible health, almost completely homebound, and Fein and Matessino did their re-editing job based on some vague notes Wise had hung onto from 1979 -- and they produced the special features through their own company, Sharpline Arts, so they were able to double-bill for the job.)

It shows, too, because Wise was an all time great editor and the director's edition is...not an example of that.

I remember A Clockwork Orange was one of the first movies on Netflix Streaming when they started doing that as a little extra perk for their main DVD service. I've seen it leave and come back a few times. Come on Netflix, when you gonna make an honest woman of A Clockwork Orange?
