Mainly because you didn't know it was a superhero movie the entire time. I'd personally have it in my top 3 or 4. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McAvoy's performance was fantastic, especially when he went rapidfire going through the characters. Other than that, yeah, very disappointed. It's one of those instances where Shyamalan goes a little to out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Arctic takes a concept that the movies have shown us a ton of times before and gives us a fresh perspective on it through some insanely shot visuals. Not to mention that Mads Mikkelson proves that he's maybe the most underappreciated actor on the planet. I really loved it. Definitely worth seeing in the theater but I have a feeling this is one of those flicks that is going to gain a big following once it hits streaming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Netflix one, overall, is better because it's more structured and linear. I felt like the Hulu one was more supplemental about providing details, and also watching Billy squirm under the weight of some really simple questions is both disturbing and hilarious. The guy behind the Netflix one is Chris Smith, the same guy who did Jim & Andy and Collapse. Gotta say that's one hell of a run for a documentary maker, I'd love to see him be given a full length series for some larger subjects. He's fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part where many of the workers just left the island the day before the event because they knew how bad it was going to be was truly remarkable. Somebody quit their job and sold everything they had to go there and they got a fema tent and cheese sandwiches That Billy dude probably has millions in an offshore bank and will do his time and disappear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Watched three flicks this weekend: Beautiful Boy: Was missing a spark. Jack Dylan Grazer was good; Steve Carrell not so much. 6/10 Crazy Rich Asians: Wife requested. Thought I'd hate the movie but found it incredibly enjoyable. Great, upbeat bounce to the flick as well as gorgeous art direction. Constance Wu is adorable. 8/10 First Man: Fantastic fro start to finish. Beautifully directed and acted, especially Ryan Gosling as Neill Armstrong. 9/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Gallipoli in the theatre when I was 10 and was inconsolable at the end of the movie. WWI is the saddest war. Millions killed in periods as short as a week charging fixed positions over open ground, it was like the worst of D-Day.....but every day. For years and at an unimaginable scale. This is a must see movie. I think the First World War gets about half of a page in elementary school textbooks nowadays..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't even know who we fought, or why, or anything about it. At the height of the war, life expectancy in the trenches was 6 weeks. Just brutal, disease, as you said, charging through "no man's land", poison gas. Truly horrific stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I just watched A Star Is Born. Lady Gaga should win an Oscar, and I enjoyed the first 80% of the movie, but they made every safe, chickensh*t narrative choice they could at the end when they should have had the guts to drop the hammer in a few spots. It went from a potential classic film to some Hallmark Channel tripe. Gay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Had the misfortune of watching Mother the other day. Being generous, I thought it was a train wreck. Reading reviews, folks are in three very distinct camps: Loved it, hated it, found it laughable. I'm in the last two. I went from wanting to scream at it's heavy handed attempt at allegory to laughing at the director's execution. At one point, I turned to my wife and said that if I had Darren Aronofsky in front of me I'd punch him in the face. The one saving grace was enjoying Jennifer Lawrence walking around in a very sheer night shirt. J-Law's performance was just mediocre, especially for her. Most likely from trying to comprehend WTF Aronofsky was attempting to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Bohemian Rhapsody - fun. I didnt think it was best picture worthy or anything like that but an enjoyable movie about a great performer and band. Sorry to Bother You - so weird and strange but I kind of liked it. It's a twisted view on capitalism, diversity in the work place and just some out of left field bizarre strange sh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson King Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Here's a heads up: Briefly, every year before the Oscars, limited theaters run the year's nominated shorts. There are about 5 of them and total length is about a full movie. There is one for live film and one for animation. Highly recommended by us Crimsons. It only lasts a few days and starts Friday. Alamo Drafthouse in Yonkers has them but as said, on a very limited basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
