Hot Shots Part Deux
about a laugh every 10 seconds
Anybody seen - Arrival? Thoughts?
I saw it, it was interesting. Little bit of a twist. It doesn't make me excited for Bladerunner 2049 tho as its the same director.
Meanwhile I'll be watching this lmao...
Kung Pow Enter The Fist
Finally saw The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Matrix this past week. Both excellent 
This week my movie goals are: The Pianist and Moonrise Kingdom.
As someone who doesn't see movies very often, I'm trying to see some highly-esteemed ones in this limbo between summer vacation and my second year of college beginning.

Went and saw Marvel's Inhumans. It wasn't Marvel's worst outing (Oh I'm still looking at you Iron Fist), but man, it made the worst parts of Agents of SHIELD look fantastic by comparison.
The FX weren't bad (Medusa's hair still looked like 90's era CGI), but the worst part was Anson Mount's Black Bolt, he looked so confused 90% of the time. I think I would have went with a deaf actor, or someone with experience with non-verbal acting. Friggen Lockjaw and Ioan Rhoan's Maximus (He was essentially getting to play an even slimier version of Ramsey Bolton) stole the show.
I'm getting to see the It remake for my birthday, on Thursday, so I'm hyped for that.

Watched Volver (again) last night. Love this movie. imo one of Almodóvar's best. Somehow he captures the generosity of women with each other in ordinary and extraordinary times.
Watched "Fantastic Beasts And Where to Find Them" over the weekend. Not to bad. Had some nice nods to the franchise. The only thing we didn't get, was how the bad guy was. I am assuming you had to read the books to find out why he is bad, but this was never really explained in the movie. If it was, we missed it completely.
Watched this on a flight a few weeks ago. Didn't really get quite a bit of it either.
Watchable, but probably one for the fans.
It was great! A nice blend of different types of scary - horror scary, Boo! scary, ew scary, screwed up scary.
Then the banter between the kids was very well acted and hilarious in parts. Interesting horror combined with a coming of age story.
We saw it with a packed theater and the crowd reactions we entertaining to say the least.
Hard R rating
Hitman's Bodyguard. Say what you will, but I enjoyed this film. Decent action and lighthearted at times. There's a few scenes with discussion that involve deadpan and they were quite funny.
Such a depressing film.

Great movie. I had watched the original ages ago and had forgotten about it, so i went in fresh.
Enjoyed it. Good scares, good script, great acting. Comedic relief might have been a bit too heavy but it was still enjoyable.
Cheers
The Insider, a re-watch, mostly because of the soundtrack, since I'm also doing other things and because I can't find the CD and ripped it into a different libary on another machine. Ask me how the rest of the day is going lol.
I do like this movie, however. Maybe I should just bin the chores and watch the film!

Too cerebral, slow, alternate title: If I Could Talk To The Aliens.
The concept presented asks the viewer to accept it as without substantiation of the principle involved, which sometimes science fiction does, so the viewer for the purpose of enjoying this story has to decide whether they buy the premise or not. I guess it's obvious I had some issues with it. Personally, I'd not call this nearly as good as Interstellar, and think Lucy provides more entertainment.
Hey we are going to need your help 3000 years in the future, so rewire your brains so you can talk to us, experience your entire life at once, and see the future? Obviously the aliens could see the future. Not sure about that last part though. Obvious the aliens could see the future to know they would need our help in 3 thousand years.
The Black Stallion (1979)- Visual art, serenity and poetry, wonderful atmosphere and beautifully filmed by Francis Ford Coppola, with a rousing climax. One of my favorite films.

A classic I never tire of: A movie with a terrific story, superb - and timeless script - savage and brilliant satire, hilarious, witty, intelligent, insightful, very, very funny - visually as well as verbally - and just as relevant today as when it was made.
Monty Python's The Life of Brian.
There is not a bad line in the movie. That is an example of outstanding movie making.

By the time the Pontius Pilate scene is done I am literally — literally — exhausted and aching from laughing so much. Every. Time.
Fabulous movie for a rainy Sunday.
"He has a wife, you know. You know what she's called? She's called... Incontinentia… Incontinentia Buttocks!"

I rarely watch movies - any movies (especially the bloated plotless nonsense nowadays produced and flogged by Hollywood), and very, very rarely watch a movie twice.
The Life of Brian is so good, and so funny, and so relevant, and intelligent, and so savagely insightful, that I am helpless with laughter every time I watch it (which is every few years); actually, I see fresh jokes - and grace notes, which are hysterically funny - in it each and every time - and the classic jokes, well, they are timeless classics for a reason. (What did the Romans ever do for us?....)
Actually, I have sections of the dialogue off by heart......
Snigger.
Thanks for sharing that (totally unnecessary) piece of information. I suppose that I could say that I "hate" many, if not most, American movies......
Anyway, as it happens, Life of Brian is one of my top five all time favourites.
Moreover, I am incredibly intolerant, choosy, fussy, and demanding when it comes to movies: I don't like the art form, and therefore, if I must watch a movie, I insist that it - at the very least - be excellent.
Anyway, I suppose all that your post tells me is that our tastes are so fundamentally incompatible (this comes back to the topic of reading - and being influenced by reviews, a matter discussed on another thread) that if you recommend a movie, I will probably know enough to give it a very wide berth.
But, different tastes, and different folks, and so on. Each to their own. But, I loved it. Madly, Passionately. And - given that normally I can't stand movies - almost insanely.
