Emily Blunt is fantastic in the title role. Meh, thought that kinda sucked. Saw both Patriots Day and Hidden Fences. Patriots Day was very good, Berg is great. Fences was dull.

I can suspend my disbelief for godzilla, but nobody survives that bear attack followed by some dirt in the wounds, literally mad me happy to be born in an era with running water and central heat and I know I'm not the only one who thought, "hey look, its like when han put luke in the tauntaun !" Think Tom Hardy opening his cell phone bill would be more entertaining than anything Leo Dicaprio has ever done, and he was pretty good in "Revnenant". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 5 foot nothing,not at all handsome, whiny, effete, shoe polish dyed hair, balding.Really the guy's dye job was Elvis or Wayne Newton-like. Might have been a Morrie's Wigs thing, could've had a chin strap and been more believable. Were Rob Schneider, Jon Lovitz and Steve Buscemi unavailable? At least they would have had some testosterone. From the first moment he comes on the screen, it was completely ridiculous.

jetophile Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 John Hurt, can't believe no-one posted this. I loved John Hurt. Damn. RIP. I would've said so days ago, but I got lazy. I saw this when I was 15 and people were screaming. Ketchup and spaghetti will never be the same. A big huge hand up to Bolaji Badejo, btw. The unsung hero of the flick. It's a cool story, like Lana Turner getting recognized in a drug store. Poor guy died of sickle cell anemia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 'Wake in Fright' is being remade for TV?! I give the F up on life. Who's going to replace Donald Pleasance? Michael Myers? It's a tough flick, but people are just running out of ideas. It's pretty much why I hate comic book movies. They make me comatose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I saw 'Rebecca' the other night in a fit of nostalgia. The Fontaine/De Havilland fight is almost as epic than Bette Davis and Joan Crawford ("I wouldn't piss on Joan Crawford is she was on fire") . Which brings me around to 'Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte'. It's such schlocky fun. Bette does a great turn. She never gave two sh*ts about what she looked like. Major points to anyone who knows that Victor Buono was in 'Beneath the Planet of the Apes'. Faces, it's my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munchmemory Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Saw "Moonlight" last night. Good movie, not great. I really wanted more exploration of the main characters from the first act of the film. No way deserves best picture nomination. Except for the language and one or two scenes, could have been a TV movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's brilliant, but get that Lynch's style is an acquired taste. You might feel it's a bit disjointed as it was originally meant to be a TV series. When it was passed over, Lynch added the more risque scenes. Speaking of those scenes, tell me the shots of Laura Elena Harring and Naomi Watts did not get your attention? Wow.

Nothing wrong with borrowing from greatness, what ever you think of Polanksi's criminality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 True story - and all of my stories are true, as I always say - because they are - this flick came out and everyone was talking about it. Cheap Trick went through the roof. There was an emergency 'meeting' in the auditorium at school, full house, where we were all warned by the Principal to avoid mary jee wanna cigarettes. This drug taking has to stop, you kids and your mary jee wanna cigarettes. Over a movie? I thought 'Reefer Madness' was next on the menu. Some were ready to spitball him, and a ton of uncontrolled snickering went on. It's a poor man's 'Rebel Without a Cause' - only the acting is better or worse depending on which glasses you're wearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 'Trick R Treat'. The kill count is outstanding. I like vignettes. Especially when they involve corn puffs, mental retardation, chocolate syrup and cyanide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The 'Last Rebel' has to be one of the worst cat turd movies ever made, but it never gets the bad credit it deserves. I could never decide if it warrants a hug or a perp walk. Some of the soundtrak is OK, but watching Joe Namath wielding guns and knives against the Klan and riding, riding, riding a horse across the desert in intolerable not meant for slow motion, where are the zombies? Fukk this movie. OK, I've seen it 4 times. F+ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 'Impromptu', I love that movie. It's such a guilty fop pleasure. "Balls!" Judy Davis is great in it. Speaking of fops, 'Barry Lyndon'. Ryan O'Neal, pulleez; but it's super duper fun. I think I started snoring through it when I was 12, but it's so worth a re-watch. If you can endure subtitles, which I'm getting less and less able to endure, 'Ridicule'. Outwit your opponent with words. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 @RutgersJetFan I got 30 mins into Barry Lyndon last weekend and got interrupted. Is it worth the 3 and a half hours ? the scenery is amazing, but is the story worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Is there a Stanley Kubrick film not worth watching? Barry Lyndon is a historic piece with attention paid to detail including music. To be watched on a bigger screen. There was an intermission when it was first released. The last time I watched it, on DVD, it had the intermission and I watched it in two sittings. I've watched it a few times and will watch it again. All Kubrick films are worth repeated viewing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add, Barry Lyndon is gorgeous but it can be boring if you're not in the exact right type of mood to watch something slow-paced. Very unique Kubrick film. I think I've only watched the entire thing front-to-back twice at most and I'm not sure I ever will again. You really have to be prepared for the long haul. I have heard some argue that it's his most detail-oriented film, but my opinion is that anyone who says that is ignorant of just how much attention he paid to every single angle and prop in The Shining. Certainly worth your time if you love Kubrick. The way he centralizes everything on character actors is something you don't see very often, and combine that with the sets and soundtrack it's damn impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's terrible in respect to it being a Kubrick movie. He did everything he could to disassociate himself from it as time passed. The upside from Spartacus is that it was the catalyst for him morphing into the control freak that we all love. So I guess we have Kirk Douglas to thank for Lolita and Dr. Strangelove.

jetophile Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 ^I heard! Might check it out for the fun factor, but Keanu Reeves gets me nuts for the most part. He tries really hard, but he's so wooden. Do you have to sit through the eh first John Wick or not? Here's an odd crumb that I remember. Reeves was playing Hamlet on stage in Canada years ago, and when he said, "My excellent good friends", snickers and chortles aplenty. Only the Patron Saint of Memory would know why I recalled that. It depends what I'm in the mood for. I ain't no art-house snob, obviously, it just sticks on whether I feel like watching something with no plot and sh!t blowing up on a given day. I'm totally good for that. I just get moody and it better kill or sukk just right or I'm walkin' out if it's not what I signed up for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
