Speaking of...I barely get time to watch a whole movie nowadays, so re-watching anything isn’t high on my list. 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. It's been a while since I watched it. Maybe I have forgot enough lol Still can't watch The Game 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...

Down by the River Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Baby Driver: 6/10 All style and no substance. 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...

D-Money Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Watched a movie with the kids last night: Tarzan (animated Disney) - 6/10 This is called the last movie if the Disney Renaissance, but it's not at the level of the best ones. The music was great (all Phil Collins), and the kids loved it, so can't complain. But a lot of the animation and voice-overs were poor. Not even close to Pixar quality.

It's about bank robbery. Not much base for substance to show itself. Can't remember the last time style drew me in like that. Pretty much a fun version of Drive is what I saw. 54 minutes ago, Monty said: which appears to be something filmmakers are incapable of producing anymore.

Re-watched it recently with my wife seeing it for the first time and likewise appreciated all the little details and integration of the music in the movie. Yes, it's 'just' basically a popcorn flick. But it's a hell of a lot more well done than the vast majority of that genre. I also spent too much on my HT...maybe that's the common thread in appreciating it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The Trial of the Chicago 7: 8/10 Couldn't land the ending but still one of the better movies of 2020 (not saying much). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I'm a fan of Sorkin, with The Social Network being my favourite film from 2010-19. That said, something tells me he won't win Best Screenplay for this one lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 The Final Girls 2015 "horror" comedy movie, which I only heard about a few days ago. While it's technically in the horror genre, there's nothing scary or gross about it. Premise is, a girl (who's mother died 3 years earlier) and her friends are sucked into a campy horror movie (ala Friday the 13th) that was released 20 years earlier. Think, Last Action Hero. The twist here is that they have to survive the movie, which has now taken a twist and is more difficult to predict the ending, as their involvement as altered the version. What makes the character (main girl) more invested is that her mother who died was the star of the movie, so she gets to see her mother again, but a fictionalized version. Was a lot of fun. A lot of famous people, too. Thomas Middleditch, Maeby (from Arrested Development), some other girl who's name I forgot, Taissa Farmiga. What's really, really unfortunate is that the movie was released 5 years ago, was setup perfectly for a sequel, but it doesn't look like one will come. Was a blast.

Psycho_Path Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Watched The Other Guys again last night. Love that movie. One of my favorite action comedies (alongside Hollywood Homicide). So many great moments. 9/10 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
