My daughter and I drove into town yesterday and did a double feature: Godzilla Minus One and The Boy and the Heron. Both excellent!

I'm rewatching Hateful 8 and I think I judged this one too harshly

Jennifer Jason Leigh is fucking incredible

Walton Goggins is God's light

Just saw Wonka in IMAX

How was it?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

How was it?

I liked it, it was well made, production wise it felt like netflix' a series of unfortunate events.

 

[ReBurn]

Someone invited me to go see The Shift. I didn't know what it was so I went. I asked my friend if he was trying to tell me something.

Thank you so much I'm set for the week!

I watched Past Lives last night, instantly shot up to one of my top 2 of the year, with Oppenheimer being #1.



I'm a big fan of Richard Linklater and Past Lives reminded me a lot of Before Sunrise and Boyhood.

I also watched Tampopo and it made me hungry.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Atlantis: The Lost Empire

Hmm.... that design reminds me of another underseas adventure movie.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I have a bunch of movies on my list to watch over the holidays:

- The Creator
- Oppenheimer
- The Instagram Effect
- Token Tavern

And two oldies I dont think I ever watched a second time. Saw these so long ago, I dont even remember what happens:

- The Lost Boys
- The Outsiders

This is legit one of the greatest movies ever filmed. If you have not watched this, you should.

 

[AJUMP23]

Merry little Batman. It was a fun one with my son.

 

[jonnyp]

The Holdovers

Pinch me, a good movie finally.

 

[NeverYouMind]

This is legit one of the greatest movies ever filmed. If you have not watched this, you should.

It is a campy and fun time capsule with a great cast and soundtrack. This scene still gives me shivers:

 

[BadBurger]

I am watching The Batman again, and I love how they lean into how crazy Batman is. He is trying to kill a fellow maniac with his car, and as the Penguin unloads on him with an uzi he stops and takes in just how ruthless and insane a man is who fights crime in the middle of the night dressed as a bat.

This is the only Batman movie to truly get how insane this man is.

Dude , you have to watch Hunter Killer with Gerard Butler, it's actually really good... so good in fact I bought the 4k disc

Every girlfriend I had in high school and college was a brunette thanks to Jamie Gertz

 

[Ovech-King]

Just watched Avatar (2009) 4k disc today and this shit is crazy. It's like the movie was made for 4k before 4k even existed. Highly recommended just for the visuals

 

[Ovech-King]

I watched a movie called The Favourite. It’s about this queen who’s a real nutcase and there’s these two chicks trying to get with her for their own ends. The only reason I watched it was because it was made by this dude who did a movie called The Lobster. If you seen that you know how fucked up it is.
Anyways this movie is funny as shit. The queen is a real whackjob. She’s banging this super dyke and in comes this other chick who starts a rivalry with the super dyke just to get in there with the queen. The shit won oscars so you know it’s not totally lame. I recommend it because the director is doing some real original shit, but also because it’s well made and funny as fuck too.

Yorgos Lanthimos is one weird writer director. Was a bit let down by the favorite as it was just a time piece with not much fucked up about it. If you haven't checked his movie The Killing of a Sacred Deer, you should ; Barry Keoghan gives one hell of a performance as a total unsettling kid, even though you could say it's just his natural face haha

 

[BigLee74]

John Wick 4.

Loved it - especially the scene in the church where it was shot from above, and Wick was using a shotgun with Dragons Breath ammo .

 

[Andyliini]

Starship Troopers

This was quite perplexing for me. I knew of this films reputation beforehand, and went in with open mind. Verhoeven has made so terricific films before, and I often like cult classics. This one did not work the same way. The teenage drama with predictable and paper-thin characters could not keep my attention early on, but later part worked better, with more action and so on. Strangely, I checked out some deleted scenes, and I think they would have helped me relate to characters better, now most of the better stuff was cut out.

What also surprised me, was how many of the actord I knew. Most of them come from TV series, so I did not know their names.

 

[JimmyRustler]

I consider this a hidden gem. Very entertaining monster movie with lots of solid action set pieces. A giant sea monster with large tentacles attack a luxury cruise ship and all hell breaks loose. A gang of criminals board the ship and shoots the place up. Highly recommend

Sheit man, this movie is the epitome videostore movie for me. Every time I see it I just feel like hoping into the bus and going to rent a few more movies.

Didn’t it become a hidden gem this way anyway? Meaning, it bombed at the box office but a lot of people discovered it as rental and then told their friends about it?

Pretty much. That's how I found out about it, through word of mouth. I consider it even more hidden today, since it's difficult to find a DvD copy, at least here in my neck of the woods. Only thing I find are dull VHS copies.

Guess who has a DVD copy of it.

Shame it never got a BluRay treatment.

Fun movie watched it for the first time yesterday.

 

[Insane Metal]

That new Julia Roberts movie on Netflix. It was good

 

[flying_sq]

Watched Killers of the Flower Moon last night, thought it was pretty good, slow, but I didn't think it was boring. Also a new release, The Holdovers. Huge fan, really liked it, the trailer pulled me in with the 80s vibe, not a funny movie, more of a human one.

Also watched The Bounty and The Pope of Greenwich Village.

 

[DeafTourette]

The Color Purple

Went to an early screening today with a friend. It's not a remake of the original movie (it should have won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director) but a big screen venture of the musical stage play.

The music was GREAT and so many of the beats of the original movie/story (I never read the book) are familiar... I cried multiple times!

9.9/10

 

[squeakywheel]

Godzilla Minus One was top 2 movies if the year for me. I'll watch Heron this week on my day off. Hope it's as good as advertised.

 

[12Goblins]

this felt like an AI generated Shyamalan movie that pulled in random shit from the internet, friends, karen culture, teslas, havana syndrome, etc. including some of the worst writing I've ever seen. Absolute garbage from beginning to end, but my wife loved it

Dumb money - Thought this would be really bad but it turned out to be incredibly good

The Holdovers - hilarious, thought provoking, heartfelt - best movie i've seen in years

Just watched this last night. Really brought me back to that excitement of 2021 and I thought it did a very fair representation of everyone.


Watching Suzume now. Very good so far.

This one disappointed me. As someone who loved Your Name, and Weathering With You way more. I felt this newest movie was a lot more derivative and I didn't find the romance believable at all

I still enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as his previous works

It’s a cartoon. Nothing believable.


killers of the flower moon. Very long and very wrong the way people tried to manipulate the Osage trust to their benefit. Movie should be an hour shorter.

[Mohonky]

The Tomorrow War; lots of plotholes, takes a good amount of time to actually start, some real jankiness.....but I still enjoyed it. Watch it with tepid expectations and it's an enjoyable alien / scifi action movie.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Fast & Furious X

Rubbish, much worse than 9. I think the formula ran out. Main villain is an idiot, dialogue has “family” inserted into every sentence, even action is boring. Plot with kid and the uncle is stupid AF and just padding.

You sure you didn’t watch one of the sequels by mistake?

Completely agree, this was really fucking ridiculous. Like they tried to make an anti conspiracy movie by having the most vague conspiracy shit ever, nothing gets resolved, ridiculous stereotypes, inane dialogue, and that girl was insufferable and super racist but no one minded.

 

[AJUMP23]

I know it's a cartoon?

Just checking.

I think Knock at the Cabin (an actual Shyamalan) did it much, much better. Did not like this.

Actually I think that was even worse but in completely different ways.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Actually I think that was even worse but in completely different ways.

That's a shame, I think even if you're not guaranteed a perfect movie, I tend to like the concepts and ideas he explores and that he has a bit of a niche now. I can totally understand that not working and why people might bounce off it too, however.

 

[kurisu_1974]

Yes his base ideas are often good, but the execution with Cabin and Old was really so bad I couldn't believe this was actually M. Night. Knock at the Cabin hardly makes sense even in the movie's reality.

Love this movie so much

 

[12Goblins]

Was nice to be able to split this into two parts from the comforts of my own home. horrible story executed beautifully and tactfully. Undoubtedly will get Best Picture. Surprised however there was so little emphasis on the Hoover/Formation of the FBI when it was such a big part of the book. but that might have another huge disservice to the Osage nation, seeing that no real justice was served.

WK Hale. Haunting stuff.

I saw this for the first time a few years ago. Blew me away. But it was hard watching many moments, I wouldn't want to watch it again.
