Spoilers What Movie Are You Watching?

[0388631]

Any good, @JamesMike ? Earlier, I read an article that they plan on doing a show revolving around the film series. Recently, a show for the Taken brand came out. I gave the show a few episodes before giving up. According to Wikipedia, it was renewed for a second season. Even Shooter, the show based on none other than the film and the book it was based on, was also renewed for a second season.

Will Penny (1967)- Aging cowboy Will Penny (Charlton Heston) gets a line camp job on a large cattle spread and finds his isolated cabin is already occupied by a husbandless woman and her young son. An ok movie, poor music. Donald Pleasence plays a vindictive, wild eyed preacher who quotes the Bible before he and his boys murders people. Bruce Dern in his prime, gets bad guy honorable mention. Filmed mostly in California's Sierras.

Being an Oregonian also I agree also.

Chapter 2 is pretty fantastic, lots of additional "world building", beautiful, over-the-top, kinetic set pieces, exotic locations, underground Rome, art installations, that create a surreal backdrop to the foreground violence. "Chapter 1" is one of my all time favorites, it kind of came out of nowhere, it's like a comic + anime + HK action film, shot like an art film.

Excited for Chapter 3, while the original was a clean ending, Chapter 2 is a _major_ cliffhanger.

More Ian McShane please

Being a Jackie Chan fan I'm watching 'Rush Hour 3', not a great movie, but funny.

I enjoy watching the Rush Hour movies when I just want to relax and watch something 'light'.

Ace in the Hole (1951)- Depressing drama. Kirk Douglass as a cynical reporter who finds a good story, a man trapped in a cave-in. Renamed The Big Carnival, the movie had issues with reporters who screened the movie and were miffed that a reporter would act that way.

The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965) Classic Cold War drama arguably one of Richard Burtons best performances. An intriguing espionage thriller shot in the midst of the Cold War, with it's roots firmly in the stark reality of the period...

Eddy Izzard "Dressed to Kill" not a movie but very funny

I loved him as Tony P.

Watching Lucy (2014)- A woman inadvertently gets mixed up with the Taiwan mob and is accidentally exposed to a massive dose of a synthetic drug which... changes her. Outstanding imagery and cinematography. The best part of this movie is how rapidly the story transforms from casual to highly threatening and lethal. Scarlett Johsansson shines. The ending has been critiqued in this forum, but it's still worth a watch, without a doubt. Some stunning visuals.

Lucy is a fair watch, want to see Scarlett Johsansson in a deeper darker SciFi role Under the Skin is the place to go, be warned Under the Skin is very far from the mainstream Lucy being closer to pure SciFi than a vehicle for entertainment...

I need to watch that movie. I like Johansson's performances better in movies like The Island and Lucy, than as Black Widow in The Avengers. I have not yet seen Ghost in the Shell.

My King (Mon Roi), 2015. Emannuelle Bercot, Vincent Cassel. Maïwenn directed. Bercot deservedly tied for Best Actress at Cannes in 2015; film had a bunch of other nominations and awards in 2016. Cassel's completely convincing of exactly who he is, a man who cannot afford to stop dancing long enough to discover himself. Narcissism and neediness, behold the tornados...

Casino Royal (2006)- Daniel Craig comes out of the blocks splendidly in one of my favorite 007 films.

 

[hawkeye_a]

The script and acting were so horrible that i ended up rooting for the sharks.

An interesting premise and a couple of good scenarios, but ruined by a horrible script and laughable acting. Not worth watching IMHO.

Slowly making my way through some of last season’s more celebrated offerings, and last night watched Hidden Figures. Really enjoyed this one; I'd not realized that black women had made substantial contribution at NASA to the very get-go of our space program. The film made me want to read the bios of the three women whose efforts were highlighted. But then how will I ever make time for more movies? The perennial challenge of movies that call one to books...

I've loved this movie since somehow discovering it in college. A few years ago, for my birthday my ex-girlfriend treated me to a local production of the Mary Chase play on which the film was based (and which is a touch darker and satirical than the film version). I wish we still valued smart comedies with something to say. Two of my favorite film quotes, courtesy of Elwood P. Dowd:

"Years ago my mother used to say to me, she'd say, "In this world, Elwood, you must be" - she always called me Elwood - "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."​

"Well, I've wrestled with reality for thirty- five years, Doctor, and I?m happy to state I finally won out over it."​
