How have I never heard of The Buddy Holly Story starring Gary Busey?

9/21/2016 10:37:16 PM

Hell or High Water is pretty great

10/29/2016 7:02:42 PM

American Honey is worth a watch...It's like Kids but with millennials.

1/22/2017 12:17:08 PM

wasnt Kids about Millennials?

It was made in 1995 about 12-15 yr olds (i know the actors were older but they were playing those ages, i believe)

1/22/2017 4:12:55 PM

^ not really...I guess the youngest ones might qualify.

1/22/2017 5:05:43 PM

mother!

I really enjoyed Phantom Thread

PTA is just on a whole other level

1/28/2018 4:16:26 PM

Anybody seen Hard Candy?

Available on Netflix till end of this month. I definitely recommend it.

There are 2,000+ reviews on Netflix, with what seems like 80-90% 5-star, and the remaining 1-star, with very few in between.

It will make you go like this --->

saw Blockers earlier

very funny

4/8/2018 6:31:00 PM

Isle of Dogs was very good, not great.

4/9/2018 10:36:35 AM

^^agreed, saw Blockers tonight, laughed throughout

4/20/2018 10:05:10 PM

All the shit we are subject to in 2018 and they cant just call the movie cockblockers?

"I really enjoyed Phantom Thread"

Is it really worth the watch? I started it on a plane, but I gave up 30-40 minutes in. The movie just struck me as standard oscar-bait with the title perfectly describing the plot up to that point (thin, if there even at all).

The Shape of Water, on the other hand, was a great Oscar-worthy movie. I actually watched it several days before Phantom Thread, so I wonder if it just being so good may have spoiled Phantom Thread - the clear Oscar-baiting in Phantom just looked amateur in comparison.

4/25/2018 1:45:11 PM

Paul Thomas Anderson doesn’t do Oscar bait

4/25/2018 1:47:14 PM

I had zero expectations but The 15:17 to Paris was worse than all of them, it was definitely one of the worst films I've ever seen

5/2/2018 8:35:42 PM

I absolutely adored mid-90’s, but there was essentially a zero percent chance of me not at least really liking it

11/8/2018 5:33:50 PM

^ looking forward to it. where did u see it?

11/8/2018 11:43:37 PM

Alamo

today was their last day of showing it, though

11/9/2018 12:33:12 AM

enjoyed Creed 2, but it definitely missed Coogler

11/29/2018 10:31:46 PM

Just watched Sorry to Bother You...not what I expected, can’t really describe, would recommend.

11/30/2018 9:17:34 PM

the Irishman is very good

didn’t expect Joe Pesci to be that great

11/19/2019 5:04:04 PM

where'd you watch that?

11/19/2019 5:11:23 PM

Alamo

You must be trolling. That dude is a legend.

11/19/2019 6:22:46 PM

he’s been in 3 movies since 1998

11/19/2019 6:28:30 PM

^^agreed

11/19/2019 8:03:31 PM

I understand where he's coming from... wow, I didn't realize he's literally only been in 3 (now 4) movies since '98. And I'm not familiar with any of them.

11/20/2019 11:44:55 AM

How can you watch eight heads in a duffel bag and think Joe Pesci could be anything other than great?

11/20/2019 12:16:23 PM

Interesting? (Call of the Wild)

11/20/2019 12:17:46 PM

Pesci in the Irishman isn’t much like the Pesci from the roles he’s most known for

it’s a very quiet and understated role

11/20/2019 12:50:14 PM

So wait a second...

You're telling me Joe Pesci plays a mobster, alongside Robert De Niro, in a Martin Scorsese directed flick, and his performance is great?

Complete mindfuck.

[Edited on November 20, 2019 at 12:57 PM. Reason : ^ prob bc he's pushing 80]

11/20/2019 12:54:11 PM

Pacino is older and his performance is very loud

Pesci is known for generally going at one speed, and it was impressive to see him not go at that speed, especially after not acting much at all in the past 20 years

11/20/2019 1:14:03 PM

Did anyone else see "The Audition?" It's a 20-minute short, a few years old now, but it was a fantastic watch of Scorcese and his regulars spoofing themselves.

11/20/2019 1:51:01 PM

Any aficianados want to give their top 5 of the year? I haven’t seen too many. I thought joker wasn’t that great. About to find “Once upon a time in the west”. I thought Glass was a serious let down too. Want to see liar. Good boys had a few laughs but overall meh.

11/23/2019 10:10:00 PM

just watched Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. very good movie.

11/24/2019 4:50:50 AM

Have a bunch I need it to see but so far my favorite is Last Black Man In San Francisco


Also enjoyed
Spiderman Far
Us
Happy death day 2u (surprisingly good series)

11/24/2019 8:35:08 AM

Ford vs. Ferarri is too long and the racing scenes are really poorly done, it's almost fast and furious level "shift and push the gas to go faster" and the crashes look really fake.

11/24/2019 8:53:21 AM

^^oh and El Camino

11/24/2019 10:31:18 AM

Just finished OUATIH. I mean i guess it was kind of entertaining at times, but definitely not as good as I thought it would be. Brad Pitt was awesome. End scene was less violent than I was expecting based on what others had said.

[Edited on November 25, 2019 at 1:52 AM. Reason : I’d prob put every other of his films as better than this]

11/25/2019 1:50:44 AM

Ford vs Ferrari I think is good so far. Got about 40 minutes left but I really liked Daytona scene. Can’t remember last movie I didn’t want to know spoilers and watch first.

11/28/2019 3:56:20 AM

I finally saw The Irishman.

I thought the movie was not worth the hype. I'm glad I waited to watch it on Netflix. That movie could have been 90 mins, maybe 2 hours tops.

It was slow, it was boring, and I think its mediocre at best.

11/30/2019 2:15:53 PM

Watched the Peanut Butter Falcon last night. Was an enjoyable little movie, set on the outer banks.

11/30/2019 3:21:02 PM

^^agreed

11/30/2019 5:18:23 PM

I’d love to know what you think a good-to-great movie is if you think that movie was mediocre

11/30/2019 6:30:58 PM

It was definitely a long movie, but condensing it to 90 minutes? pssh

11/30/2019 11:02:13 PM

Yeah thats about the only thing I didn’t agree with. I mean maybe 2 hours or 135 minutes, but not 90 minutes

11/30/2019 11:33:13 PM

ad astra is pretty but not actually good

other recently watched films:
yesterday was much better than i expected, very enjoyable
downton abbey was great
angel has fallen is bad even if you are just expecting a dumb action movie, it's very bad
late night was good
good boys is okay but the previews show most of the jokes
the art of racing in the rain is fantastic, but you're gonna cry
stuber is really funny, great buddy cop comedy
midsommar is weird
old boys is kinda cute, not great but enjoyable
brightburn is a really cool take on the super here genre
anna is very good, felt like a mix of la femme nakita and the professional
fast and furios hobbs and shaw is bad, very dumb
shazam is great
booksmart is great, much better raunchy comedy than good boys
teen spirit never really goes anywhere, it ends just as you feel like things are starting

I like the initial story idea of brightburn but not the execution. Very straight ahead plot with unnecessary gore (glass specifically).

12/4/2019 11:04:22 AM

The Irishman was great
