Premise? NBA lockout following a sports agent. Interested? You shouldn’t be. It’s awful. Good to know, I was thinking about giving it a go. I tend to enjoy Soderbergh.

Soderbergh, for the most part, is a reliable director. Contagion was a very underrated, and forgotten movie. But this was nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Goose Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Cold Pursuit - holy cow what a nice surprise. This is a remake of a Norwegian film full of humour and some good action sequences. Quite enjoyed it considering how bad the trailers look. Alita Battle Angel - I like the spectacle of big budget movies. Not sure if this was spectacle enough for me.

D-Money Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Two movies I saw in the last week, that were quite similar in a way... Room - 8.5/10 Lion - 7/10 (Potential spoilers ahead...sort of...I mean, most people probably know the general stories of both, even if they haven't seen them.) In both movies, the first 45 minutes or so are primarily about a young boy coping with a devastatingly traumatic experience. And both absolutely knock this portion out of the park. In Room, how the boy makes sense of his world is both touching and heart-breaking. In Lion, the first section is as-good-or-better, as the young actor playing him just radiates charisma and enthusiasm. The story of how Saroo got into his situation is told so efficiently, and the child's reactions so expressive, it's one of the best 45-minute sections of a film I've seen in recent memory. What separates the 2 movies is what happens after this part, when the boys each experience a colossal shift in circumstances. Room continues to focus on the boy, and how he copes with the world he never knew. It isn't as powerful as the first portion of the movie, but is still interesting and engaging. Whereas Lion chooses to jump forward 20 years, and as soon as it does the movie loses most of it's steam. Everything becomes slow and clunky, and it wastes time focusing on how he met his girlfriend (which really adds nothing to the story). It really only becomes interesting again at the end, when Saroo is back in India. I think it would have been a much better movie had it spent a little more time showing how the young boy adapted to his new life/family, and cut out the girlfriend almost altogether. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 A Monster Calls is a devastatingly sad movie but it's brilliantly done. Onions/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
