The flash I may never watch another superhero film again. Some brief moments of enjoyment from Michael Keaton can't save this. I usually enjoy super hero slop, but this was just bad everything. The colour purple (1985) Really enjoyed this although it has some really odd tone at time, moments of almost slapstick comedy following a scene of human brutality and the music often did not fit the scene. Very much a film of the 80s. The Arbor (2010) Docu-drama, really hard to describe this film but was fantastic, essentially it's actors lip syncing to actual audio recordings of people, it's weird at first but it really works. Incredibly sad though. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Jul 23, 2023 |

Pope Corky the IX posted:Who are the dead people? It's got a scene that has deep faked various actors who have had the superman roll. The CG is bad and it looks dumb, it's only for a few seconds though. Honestly it's one of the lesser problems of the film in my opinion.

distortion park posted:La Haine is very good but the cliff is pretty steep if any of the elements hadn't worked (and looking back a lot of the story beats aren't exactly fresh). Cassel is incredible, the other two guys were good but he nailed it. I'd argue it was pretty fresh in 1995. I should rewatch this, it's been years.

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed Documentary about Nan Goldin, her life, her art and her modern day fight to take down the Sackler family. Beautiful and tragically sad at times, as a photographer hobbiest I absolutely loved it, but I think even if you're not into photography this is a superb documentary and well worth a watch. Would make an excellent companion piece to Paris is burning as both cover the LGBT scene in the 80s.

When I worked at blockbusters a mum rented Dreamer for her daughter and friends. A U rated film about a girl who saves a horse. I accidentally put 'The Dreamers ' in the box. An 18 rated film about teenagers exploring their sexuality in Paris. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Aug 24, 2023 |

Yeah she came in the next day and gave one of my co-workers an earful. Wrong discs in boxes happened all the time but that was the funniest occurrence for me. We also had it the other way around with customers returning their own films by mistake. There was this one guy who used to return his porn collection to us all the time by mistake. The weirdest and slightly related occorance was someone trading in a PS3 with a beastiality film in it. We ended up with the cops round and we had to set up a TV in the back so they could confirm, it was weird.

The Whale (2022) Some fantastic acting but not all that much else. For Aronofsky it felt tame.

With the name and some of the discussion at release I also thought parasite was a horror which isn't my thing. Glad I gave it a shot after the hype, fantastic film.

So much of the film is amazing too. It's a real rollercoaster of quality. Red letter media did a great review of it https://youtu.be/mESbAwiCaTw?feature=shared Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 14:20 on Oct 27, 2023 |

The Last Duel I thought was really interesting. Reminded me Scott isn't a director you can just dismiss because he puts out crap sometimes.Gaius Marius posted:Apparently it's not in the theatrical cut. There is zero naval action so we don't get to see the Orient's explosion blowing out the theatres speakers. Uh oh, we getting another Kingdom of Heaven situation?

The killer Well shot and well acted but just didn't feel like it had anything to say. Definitely one of Finchers more forgettable movies. Mega Comrade fucked around with this message at 16:53 on Dec 10, 2023 |

I liked Oppenheimer. But my biggest shock was how easily I could hear the dialogue compared to most of Nolans other films.

Rebel Moon I don't think Snyder had progressed as a director in 2 decades. Man knows what he likes I guess.

Anatomy of a fall Can a dog act? I dunno but if they can even the dog in this knocks it out the park. Every cast member gives a brilliant performance.

Data Graham posted:Speaking of, I don't know what cut I saw of Leon, but it always came across as Leon being very uncomfortable and freaked out with her advances, so the relationship never seemed creepy to me. Shes a hosed up kid who saw her whole family butchered and is acting out for attention. Perhaps there are scenes I didn't see that change that  Besson is 100% a creep though.

Why even include this scene? I feel like it didn't even figure into the plot meaningfully. Is Besson just stunting on us, bragging openly about what he can get away with?

Maestro First act is a silly and to arty for its own good but once it hits the 2nd act the film gets substantially better IMO. Great performances and interesting characters but that first act holds it back from being great.

Witness for the Prosecution (1957) Been watching some of the highly regarded classics and this one was fantastic. It could easily have been hammy and camp but just manages to not go to far. Very funny in places, some fantastic performances and a great plot.

Data Graham posted:Taken - lmao this is the most divorced movie ever Taken was such a massive hit and it's hard to understand why. "They took my daughter" action films have been around forever but this just clicked with audiences. Not saying it's a bad film, it's enjoyable enough, but it did so well for what it is. (Wow $25m budget too on a $220m return)

Dr. Yinz Ljubljana posted:Not the first time, but the first time in a long time - The Village! People shat on this movie after it's release, but they were fools and charlatans. A solid thriller with a stacked cast and same gold performances. What's not to like? A climax that's so incredibly transparent yet takes itself so serious.

Cat Hassler posted:Wolf of Wall Street People having fun doing bad things is a plot in a LOT of cinema. It's not like the film is endorsing their behaviour. It's a Hollywood film, it catches up to them eventually. ShoogaSlim posted:wolf of wall street is fun bc you can tell people will look at it as inspirational even tho it's highlighting how awful the characters actually are.
