The New Yorker (2021)

Modern film criticism basically boils down to calling something "pretentious" or "overrated" whenever you don't personally enjoy it. There isn't really a third option anymore.

Look, at the end of the day, she laid everything out for him. She explained exactly why it happened, even though it was pretty much obvious from the start.
The Green Knight (2021)

Unfortunately, it’s only available to stream online here in the States.
The Godfather (2021)

In my opinion, Chris's standout moment has to be when he and Paulie take out that waiter right outside the restaurant. 🙏
The Woman in the Window

Look, it’s a bad movie, but more importantly, it’s just plain boring.
The Father (2020)

Whether he actually slapped him, if it was a nurse, or some random bystander—it’s all a bit murky. Hard to say for sure.
Anthony might just be giving us the performance of a lifetime here, right up there with 'The Remains of the Day'.

Sofia Coppola

I have a real soft spot for Sofia Coppola's work. I'm particularly drawn to 'Lost in Translation' and 'Somewhere'.
'Marie Antoinette' and 'The Virgin Suicides' are also quite excellent.

Honestly, it’s pretty rough. I still find Rami Malek to be one of the weaker actors I've seen.

Richard Wilson4 said:Thanks for the tip, but that’s basically just a horror movie to me.
I'm looking for a serial killer vibe set in some small town, where a big-city detective rolls in to help the locals.
Give me something totally cliché, honestly, as long as the atmosphere is spot on.

Knock Knock (2015) - Eli Roth's Knock Knock

Linda Wood96 said:Yeah, they definitely edited it out.
Well, that’s one way to handle it. 😵
Knock Knock (2015) - Eli Roth's Knock Knock

Am I losing my mind, or did CBS really broadcast a scene last night featuring three people showering together? He’s there bringing them their clothes while they're all under the water... and then the very next shot is just him waking up the following morning? 🤦
What did you guys think of Mank?
in Movies ·
What kind of criticism are we talking about? It’s sitting at a 79 on Metacritic.
The Story of Fire Saga
in Movies ·
I was expecting much more intense stuff.
Based on how the movie logic works, Will and Rachel are roughly the same age—maybe a two or three-year gap—which would put Rachel right around 50. 😁

Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)

In my opinion, the best film by the Coen brothers is definitely Isaac. The score, the atmosphere—everything about it is just top-tier.
Especially that scene where he sings "The Death of queen Jane".

Joshua Kern said:This movie holds the record for the sheer number of cast and crew members who have either won an Oscar or been nominated for one:
3 winners: Christopher Walken, Jeff Bridges, T Bone Burnett
7 nominees: Kris Kristofferson, John Hurt, Willem Dafoe, Mickey Rourke, Isabelle Huppert, Sam Waterson, and Brad Dourif.
That’s an interesting stat. It probably deserves a double-check, though.
Wes Anderson has a new film coming out this year, "The French Dispatch," featuring:
6 Oscar winners: Tilda Swinton, Anjelica Huston, Frances McDormand, Christoph Waltz, Adrien Brody, and Benicio Del Toro.
6 nominees: Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, and Owen Wilson.
Looking at those numbers, I realize "The Grand Budapest Hotel" actually has 15. 😁
My apologies for drifting off-topic.
