I mean I guess giving the best Actor Oscar to a guy who just tried to force a woman to have his son's abortion isn't as bad as giving it to a guy who tried to sexually assault someone, but it's a lateral move at best.

Coffee And Pie posted:30 Minutes or Less is a kinda ghoulish concept for a movie but it has some top tier Danny McBride The really ghoulish thing is that the guy the story's based on got brutally murdered by the bomb. That kinda casts a pall over the whole thing.

Skull Island is pretty good. Larry Fong brings a lot of what makes it work, it looks great. Not quite up to the standard of Godzilla (2014), though.

Magic Hate Ball posted:So it's worse than Godzilla 2014? It's a good version of, like, Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Which makes for a fine action/adventure movie. But Godzilla is apocalyptic, so it ends up feeling like a bit of a step-down. Particularly considering they're the ones forcing the comparison.

therattle posted:Denial is a good story but not a very good film. I found Weisz's accent, although accurate, somehow unconvincing - as though she was putting so much effort into getting the accent right that she couldn't act properly at the same time. The other actors are very good though. It still feels like a high-end TV film. Having watched it tonight, I completely disagree. Denial is a very well shot, quite well edited, tightly written, and well acted film. If it were a made-for-TV movie, then it would just be further evidence that some of the best films don't make it to theaters. Fortunately, it did make it to theaters, where I should have had the foresight to see it on the big screen when I had the chance. For a movie which is basically "photographs of people talking," its formal qualities are exceedingly well-executed, to the extent that it's my new favorite drama of 2016 (finally taking the throne that Belgica has held since April 18th of last year). I'm sure Hacksaw Ridge is gonna be beast. Btw, if y'all haven't peeped the non-Mel Gibson directed, Mel Gibson comeback star-vehicle Blood Father, you're missing out on a solid B-movie.

I hope when Cable shows up in Deadpool 2 he will take a minute to explain his backstory, and then Deadpool goes "Wait, who is Cyclops?"

It's not my favorite of the X-Men movies, but Days of Future Past hit the perfect sweet spot of adapting the wacky-rear end Claremont style X-Men plot to film. Apocalypse however was a massive disappointment.

Michael Shannon is like Viggo Mortensen on my "I'll see any movie this person shows up in" list, and I'm expecting Nocturnal Animals to be kinda like Captain Fantastic, where I'm absolutely enraptured by that one performance even as I'm finding fault all over the rest of the movie, Captain Fantastic is a weird one I want more people to see. As it is, it's a B+ tops, but I think with another pass at the script and a more assured director it could've been a really great movie. There are individual moments i absolutely loved.

All of the 'neo-noir' elements of Nocturnal Animals are part of a trashy crime novel. The frame narrative is really just a straightforward, romantic melodrama.

It's strange because it feels like, beat by beat, an NPR-approved indie film but Viggo's performance pushes it a little past that. It also helps that the child actors didn't really have a weak link that I can remember.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Let me know how the pasta turns out as well and what you put on it, I love pasta, but I've sworn off it partly. It was a pretty basic beef stroganoff recipe, I was worried because I don't know what I'm doing but my friend who actually knows how to cook kind of guided me & it turned out really well. Pasta rules. Invasion From Inner Earth was unfortunately pretty boring, there were a couple of fun things like the aliens only appearing in the form of a small red light, the occasional shot of a mini ufo & a guy doing a half robot voice over the radio. But like 98% of the movie is amateur actors saying semi-incomprehensible cliches at each other in a poorly lit cabin. Still didn't mind though since when else am I gonna see someone's cheap regional Sci-fi movie in a theater setting + it's always satisfying to see everyone who didn't take off applaud passionately in a show of collective endurance.
