GLASSJAW Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 (edited) bill murray stories - 3/10. the entire movie could be summarized in a 2 minute clip they play from Murray himself - instead, they drag it out just over an hour where fratboys and other bland people talk about thinly veiled celebrity worship best of enemies (2015) - 9/10. doc about William F Buckley Jr and Gore Vidal's debates on national tv. seriously engaging movie. funny, thought provoking, super relevant to our time. already feel like watching it again, tbh Edited February 3, 2019 by GLASSJAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Coen Brothery Goodness/10 If you like the Coen Brothers you'll like this. If you don't, then you probably won't. Spoiler Don't get attached to any of the characters though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Destroyer - solid movie. Some really nice framing of shots. Kind of a by the numbers crime story, which is OK, but I like my crime dramas a bit more on the nasty side. Still a good viewing though. 7.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falcon45ca Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Velvet Buzzsaw 8/10 Solid performances across the board anchor a ghost story/slasher flick. The best part is everyone who dies is a character most would love to see dead. The Catcher Was A Spy 6.5/10 Paul Rudd does a good job proving he can do (slightly) more than just make you laugh. Some mild pacing issues, and its certainly not the most thrilling of spy/war flicks. It's not bad, it's not great, it just is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened - 7/10 The Netflix one. Solid documentary about something I had limited knowledge of. I mean...I was pretty sure that Ja Rule was a moron, but didn't have actual evidence until now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Also, my favourite reaction to the documentary was a woman on twitter: “I watched both documentaries about the Fyre Festival and the smartest person I’ve seen is the pilot that learned how to fly with the Microsoft Flight Simulator.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the part where... Spoiler The pilot guy was actually mapping out the sewage system for the island, and then Billy spilled his beer on it. ...I'm guessing he learned that from SimCity?

Monty Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It was such a terrific eff up. When I was watching it, it reminded me so much of the Islanders in the late 90s with their own fraud “owner”, John Spano. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Spano The 30 For 30 on him is obviously preferable, but the Wiki link explains everything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just because Amy Adams Spoiler the point of the movie was too show how much of a great writer he had become, but am i the only who thought if that was a book i wouldn't buy it........ I mean it was a little emotional for her but i just had a blah feeling. I didn't pick up on the little things, like the replicated green car (i believe), the positions of the bodies, the red sofa the first time i watched it, so hats off to tom ford for that. sometimes these big award winning films i feel really let me down....

Best part of that Wiki article: Quote Potvin later said that Spano had almost no staff, which was unusual for a multimillionaire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Overlord Tasteful WWII movie about Nazi zombies. Also, it’s nice to know that the world definitely has a young Kurt Russell who, when it’s time to remake any Kurt Russell film, he can step right in. And it’s his son, Wyatt Russell. Here, he plays a young Kurt Russell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 4 minutes ago, Violator said: It was supposed to be another cloverfield movie at one point. I heard that as well. Much like The Cloverfield Paradox and 10 Cloverfield Lane. Finals scripts written with no intention for them to be in the Cloverfield universe, but in order to sell them to the public, they slapped the name on it. In 10 Cloverfield Lane’s case, they just extended the ending 10 minutes and slapped it on the mailbox. A great movie that didn’t need it to be apart of the universe. But The Cloverfield Paradox was much, much worse. Just some voice over from mission control saying “Cloverfield something or other” and then slapping a monster in the last frame. Terrible movie given the name so people would watch it. Thank goodness Overlord didn’t have that. Was thinking that throughout. I was like, “How on Earth were they going to spin it into that garbage?” After watching it, I said to my wife, “This feels like an 80s movie that Kurt Russell would have been in.” Felt like an instant, cult favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 High Flying Bird New Steven Soderbergh film that was made for Netflix, and his second movie in a row that was filmed entirely on an iPhone. Premise? NBA lockout following a sports agent. Interested? You shouldn’t be. It’s awful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
