Love when a movie with simple dialogue and straight to the point situations gets you right in the gut. On 9/23/2020 at 8:46 AM, bishopshodan said: Wow. I read this book. Didn't know they made a movie.The backstory of the author is awesome. I believe he was a factory worker that tried his hand at writing later in life, was a natural. Thanks, can't wait to watch it.

I think all the praise it's getting is from 17 year olds who didn't expect Tom Holland to act in anything but a Marvel movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm posting now because I'm pretty pessimistic about this movie. It sounds like Nolan is going for the class approach of "make things so insanely confusing that everyone will think I'm a genius". I'm far more interested in geniuses that can communicate complex ideas in understandable ways without dumbing things down. Making things overly complex is in some ways just laziness masquerading as intelligence. Will update tonight/tomorrow. The great thing about watching this movie at the Drive-In was that we could control the audio, so all the complaints about the sound mixing didn't apply to us. But overall, yeah, Christopher Nolan is about as deep as a 17yr old that is the only one of their friends that discovered Nietzsche. My favorite is when directors use vague terms like 'algorithm' as a catch-all for something that they can't quite explain. I write code. An algorithm can be a billion different things but it was thrown around in the movie without any explanation. I feel like Nolan thought of Tenet in terms of cool scenes to film and then figured out the plot from there (rather than developing a story and then thinking about how to film it). There are some amazing shots/scenes, but the complexity of the story is basically trying to trap people into believing that Nolan has this really well-developed idea that he is try to express to everyone else. People will confuse vagueness for complexity. Maybe I will appreciate it more on a rewatch where I just kind of take in the scenes instead of paying attention to the plot. 6.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Borat 2 trailer dropped (movie comes out later this month) This looks like it might be worse than the Dumb and Dumber sequel from a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Logan Lucky - 7.5/10 That was fun. Nothing groundbreaking, but just a really solid, smart (but not too smart) heist movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, we just found out friends of ours never saw The Prestige, so we made plans to watch it with them - will probably be my 6th time. Such a great movie, even better on re-watch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said it before, Shia LaBeouf has really turned things around, and this was just a pleasure to watch. Really sweet story of two people on the run in the south. Shia from some guys he crossed, and a mentally challenged 22 year old who's escaped from a home care facility, and the two's paths cross almost immediately. There isn't a movie I can think of that I'd recommend more, at the moment. A must watch. I cannot recommend this movie enough. Watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Motherless Brooklyn 7,5/10 I really enjoyed watching this movie. Kinda went into it not knowing what it was going to be about, so it took me a while to get the hang of the storyline. Strange and bizarre for sure at times, but a good movie and a movei I will watch again at some point and enjoy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustRich Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 This morning I watched the new Borat. Loved the original, didn't care much for the new one though it had some funny parts. I'd give it a 4/10. Just finished Zombieland 2, just as entertaining as the first, 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for a movie that was far more style than substance, it might also have more substance than other movies in that category (ie: Michael Bay movies, etc). There was a story, one that "kind of" made sense for his tinnitus. That's always been what separates Edgar Wright from other filmmakers, he knows how to make a movie visually appealing, but separate it from other movies in the same genre. Even Scott Pilgrim was such a different take on what comic book films usually look like. I've watched Baby Driver 4-5 times now, and each watch has been better than the last, especially once one is familiar with the songs and scenes. You start to see the amount of detail put into the directing and editing. The fact that actors blink in beat with the music, grab coffee mugs in beat. Every bit of the acting, background actors, car horns, etc are all done perfectly. That takes such a tremendous amount of planning and execution to not only get it right, but to sustain in a 2 hour movie. I invested way, way too much money in my home theater system. But when I watch movies like Baby Driver, Mad Max Fury Road, LoTR, it reminds me of the phrase "movie magic". Baby Driver certainly isn't the peak of cinema, but it is truly something original, which appears to be something filmmakers are incapable of producing anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
