Haven’t watched it, yet. Will get around to it when I’m in the mood to watch some hot “woman on fish” action. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, a blubbering, sobbing mess.

Down by the River Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 2 hours ago, aGENT said: Bohemian Rhapsody - Rami Malek's performance 9/10 - Script 4/10 Watch for his stellar performance and the tunes, the script is very superficial and doesn't do Rami or Mercury, justice. They both deserved better IMO. Was glad Malek won the Oscar. Thought that he might not because of the awful script that hung over his head. People seemed to have a difficult time separating the two). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much so that IMO, it's worth watching the film for it alone despite the otherwise sup par script. What could have been with a better script...... The toe tapping tunes help as well.

Kragar Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Molly's Game. 8, 8.5. Interesting, based on a true story. enjoyed the acting, Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba. Insight into high stakes gambling without getting bogged down into the players or the hands. She's led quite the life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 You Were Never Really Here Joaquin Phoenix has really shown throughout the years that he’s one of the most talented actors around. Guy really has range. Rough thriller movie about a hired gun who finds young girls who have been used for trafficking and “making them boys pay.” Phoenix’s character is more than just your usual anti-hero, though, as he has his own trauma as a child and from his time in the military, which is barely shown in flashbacks, and mostly seen as the toll it has taken on him as an adult. Great movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could tell his older brother cared a lot for him. Actually, I saw it differently... Spoiler To me it was bittersweet, as one of the most potentially heartbreaking parts of that story would have been how his brother went on with his life after losing him. They obviously were very close. Saroo himself was haunted by the idea of his brother searching the train station for him. Although it was sad to know his brother died, it explained why he was abandoned in the first place, and erased all of the potential pain his brother would have had to endure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. While it certainly was a double shot to the mother, you’re right. Explains why he was abandoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift-4 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Girl on the Train EmilyBlunt/10 Spoiler seriously, she needs to be in more movies Triple Frontier alittlebitok/10 If you haven't watched don't click the &^@#ing spoiler below Spoiler Best part is Ben Affleck dies first. Would have been better if he died sooner. Like in his first scene. Really like the Oscar, Charlie and Pedro. Too bad they had to share screen time with that Assfleck.

I’m starting to get the impression that majority of “made for Netflix” movies are the equivalent to the “straight to video” movies from the 80s and 90s. Bird Box, The Cloverfield Paradox, Bright, Like Father, Mascots, War Machine, Death Note, Mute. So, is this any different? Oscar Isaac? Sure. Ben Affleck? Oof.

But neither is it anything special. Out of those you listed I have only seen Bird Box. I would give Bird Box a similar rating (not special, not waste of time).
