SciFiDownBeat posted:Okay but just this once. Thank you. I watched The Great Chase, which was supposed about a badass racing chick who fights crime but theres no car racing of any kind after the stock footage over the opening credits, instead she spends most of her time putting on outfits to hoodwink heroin dealers and kill them with kungfu kicks. it also starred a female pro wrestler as herself and her intro scene was awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLyBFdZMIJA

Monos was a great movie about the political and psychological limbos of being a child soldier in Colombia with some of the most striking mountain cinematography I've seen in a while in the opening half hour. Parts of it looked like Yellow Earth before conflict starts up and the group shuffled off into the claustrophobic jungle for the rest of the film. Really good performances from the teens too which is a rarity

ddiddles posted:I watched Parasite and thought it was great on a technical level, and OK as far as the story went. No, people who do close readings on film online are often morons and just make stuff up to sound cool. the thesis of parasite is very clear and its a fun movie with a sprinkling of class conscious violence in it. isnt that house beautiful? one of the best realized film spaces in recent memory for me.

i saw the Assistant which i didnt know existed until yesterday and had no real expectations about and its quite sick. a day-in-the-life horror parable about corporate culture that was super restrained and gut wrenching, i would hihgly recommend.

i watched the first lone wolf and cub movie and it kicked rear end. especially when suddenly the shadow ninja leader was watching Ogami fighting in his home estate and freaked out when he stepped into a river adn unleashed his Hidden Sword of River Wave attack.

Carpet posted:Far and Away (Ron Howard, 1992). Saw this at 11am, as part of the BFI Film on Film Festival, projected using a changeover system and from a pristine original print that has never been publicly projected until now. It was shot on Panavision Super 70, and it looked fantastic up there. The film itself was quite silly, and the introduction from the programmer prepared us for that, and the audience was well into it. It had some classic Tom Cruise running, Nicole Kidman exclaiming "my spoons!!!" well before The Room ever did, and some admittedly solid feeling fight scenes. I don't think I've ever seen 70 on a changeover system, I wonder what the equipment looked like. That is some herculean poo poo for the projectionist to deal with.

Gaius Marius posted:The Big Clock is it just me or has the art of screen writing atrophied completely in the last twenty years. This script is tight as a noose, which is perfect given how little breath the characters are able to draw as the coil tightens. Might call it a bit direct with all the literal clocks hanging around, but the film never let's you forget that the man doesn't have enough time and if it runs out he's dead. Fantastic Noir and a sad reminder that we just don't get movies like this anymore. It's not you. The big clock is from an era where the product for studios was 25-30 80 minute films a year so they could book theaters year round, with the same actors filling new roles on a regular basis. In the present moment the product is seasons of streaming content, so people have been steadily trained to write very different (boring, overly long) scripts.

checkplease posted:Mishima, the film, is a great film visually, musically, and of course the direction. I’ve never read any of his work but will be interested to know if it enhances it more. The Mishima, as portrayed by he film to me, seems kind of masculinity obsessed and conservative. Is his writing like this? He founded a private anticommunist militia and led a failed monarchist coup, it's safe to say that his writing is "conservative", yes.

they were thinking "we are contractually obligated to hit 90 minutes and get this movie wrapped by the deadline or Vince McMahon will kill us with his bare hands" and so they went to work.

Gaius Marius posted:Vertigo loving hate when you see a film this good cause it's gonna make everything else seem worse for the next month. Perfect hosed up toxic relationship mixed with a wife killing and a psychosexual look at make neuroses. Literally what more could you want and oh yeah it's loving gorgeous. And the soundtrack is perfect. Can't be beat.

Oldstench posted:So I watched this for the first time tonight based on this review. Uh...I didn't care for it. JStew is too old and Kim Novak is too young for that relationship. Stewart's weird control fetish at the end prior to his realization of the truth is really hard to take nowadays. I also can't overlook how hokey the love angle is portrayed. Scotty spends literally three days with her and they confess their love. I realize it's a movie (and a '50's movie at that) but it's just so over the top and melodramatic that it becomes eye-rolling to the extreme. Other than that, the film look great and the soundtrack is amazing. Well yeah, she's lying to him. It's supposed to be a bit of a send up of Hollywood romanticism, and Scotty is the sucker who buys into it bc of his own insecurities. It's cool
