I recently re-watched "Hereditary" and I thought it was even better than 1st time.

Wow. A lot better this time. The cinematography is pretty amazing. The soundtrack is disturbing. All of the performances were pretty great, especially Toni Collete. She was amazing and so many seem to agree that she is the one who gives the best performance in the film. The movie was also incredibly disturbing and I say...
Nobody talks about Drop Dead Gorgeous

This is one of the greatest movies ever made. I first watched it as a child when I was home sick with the flu. For years I thought I had dreamed it. Fortunately our lives have been blessed with this work of art, and I am here to encourage you to give it a chance.Drop Dead Gorgeous came out in 1999 and started Kirsten...

We need a marvel esque cinematic universe for netflix christmas movies.

Christmas prince, christmas chronicles, merry xmas etc . They have a million of them. Vanessa Hudgens would play the Nick Fury roll since I think her by herself is in like 3 of them. I think they already self reference each other in small ways, like being on screens in the background. It's time to take it to the next...
Some cameos in Adam Sandler's "Jack and Jill" did not age well...

Watching the movie now for the first time and not sure what year it came out but there is a cameo from Jared the Subway guy, assuming prior to the controversy. Also the Shamwow guy, not sure if before or after he bit that hooker's tongue off. Also a cameo from Bruce Jenner before the sex change... And the movie isn't...
A year and a half later, what are everyone’s thoughts on Solo: A Star Wars Story?

I found it enjoyable. I’m binging the entire Star Wars saga and Solo was one of the ones I wasn’t terribly excited for rewatching, but it’s solid. Not amazing. Not great. But solid. Alden Ehrenreich sold me on him playing Han Solo and while some of the stuff (like the Solo name) was dumb it worked. Woody Harrelson did...
Morally good characters are more interesting than bad ones

Am I the only one who doesn't find bad characters interesting?I'm not interested in sociopaths or guys who lose their humanity as the film progresses. I know a ton of shitty people in real life just like this. The world is full of cunts. There's so many reasons to be a shitty person tbh.What interests me are the morally...
No trailer watched = Better movie experience

It’s like reading a book. The author slowly builds and introduces the synopsis of the story by periodically introducing characters, and detailing the setting. You really don’t fully understand what’s going on in a lengthy novel till 80-100 pages in.A trailer shows you key scenes right away to pull you in which ruins the...
Ana de Armas puts on one of the best performances of the year in Knives Out

I hadn't seen anything about this movie, so I didn't know anything besides how stacked the cast was but by far the best and one of the best of the year was Ana de Armas. I think she truly deserves an Oscar nom because she blew this out of the water and was just phenomenal. It seems that there are the 4 "major" female...
Which director(s) had the best output this decade in your opinion?

I ask this as a means of reworking the cliche: "What are the X best films of the decade?" I also generally prefer to binge a single director's filmography if I like their style, so this provides me with good recommendations in that format.To answer my own question in so many words- Denis Villeneuve. To direct 6 movies...

What movie did a good job of not over-explaining its origin?

I just finished watching It Chapter 2 which was really disappointing compared to the first one. It was either that I thought that children being in danger is a better movie than adults being in danger or that there was just too much talk about the ritual and the origin of pennywise and all of this other stuff that I found...
It: Chapter 2 is an awful movie

Holy shit, what happened??? The first movie isn't amazing but it's very entertaining, the 2nd movie is a manic mess of cheap jokes and hamfisted emotional moments. They somehow managed to make James McAvoy terrible and I think him as Bill is perfect casting... Under another writer/director team.Seriously though. This...
Dolemite Is My Name is my favorite film of the year

This was the most entertaining movie of 2019. Eddie Murphy gives a resplendent performance as Rudy Ray Moore, dealing out one-liners and heart-felt moments one after another. The supporting cast, including Wesley Snipes, Mike Epps, Keegan-Michael Key, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Craig Robinson and a sneaky role for Bob Odenkirk,...
With Bond 25: No Time to Die next year, Daniel Craig will not only be the actor longest in character of James Bond (14 years), but also the first to have movies spanning over 3 decades.

Daniel Craig will be 14 years as James Bond, from 2006 to 2020. The second longest a James Bond actor was in the role was Roger Moore from 1973 to 1985 (12 years), despite starring in a total of 7 movies, 2 more than Craig. We're not considering the non official 1983 return of Sean Connery.Craig will also be the first...
Jupiter Ascending -- what a gorgeous disappointment

I'd given this a pass when it came out due to poor reviews. The wife does like the Wachowskis and wanted to give it a shot.The idea of an otherwise post-scarcity consumer economy turning human beings into the ultimate commodity is quite frightening. They had a great opening premise there. Grafting that onto an inheritance...
Dave's Movie Database, a site that combines as many sources as possible to get near definitive lists.

I've loved this site for a long time. He combines things like best-of lists, box-office, reviews & ratings, awards etc. to get as near a definitive list as possible. He also has similar sites for Music & BooksCurrently, according to the site, the Top 100 movies of all time are1: The Godfather (1972)2: Gone with...

Some of mine include:Matthew McConaughey in Killer Joe (2011)Andrew Garfield in The Social Network (2010)Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy in Before Midnight (2013)Samuel L Jackson in Django Unchained (2012)Elizabeth Banks in Power Rangers...
Just re watched Borat for the first time in ages with a friend

Genuinely forgot how good it was. Holy shit I never appreciated how good Sacha Baren Cohens performance was before. The amount of people who completely bought it & thought he was genuinely a reporter from Kazakhstan making a documentary, even after all the ridiculous shit he was pulling, makes it so much funnier....
What are worst three movies you've seen this decade? Why are they so horrible?

So there have been a few threads already to pick everyone's favourites movies from the 2010's... but I thought we could mix things up and see what other's think what is the worst this decade has to offer?I for instance cannot get over the fact of how awful The Last Airbender... how wrong everything in it was at all levels......
Tired of “Black pain porn” films. Let’s discuss positive black films and portrayals

I’m writing this after watching the double feature of Queen and Slim and Waves yesterday.Hollywood is churning out “black pain porn.” What is a“black pain porn” film? They are depressing films which usually deal with the same old storyline remixed: black people are dealing with intense poverty/discrimination and/or being...
What movie from the 2010s flew under the radar that is required viewing?

I'd like to make my list by genreHorror- The Void (2016) really good throw back 80s body horror movie with an occult group trying to invade a hospital with some Lovecraft inspired monsters.... Truly a good time for practical effect loving movie goers.Comedy - Popstar: Never stop never stopping (2016), truly some big laughs...

I miss Vangelis movie soundtracks - why has it been so long?

Vangelis was hugely successful with soundtracks in the 80s with Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire, but hasn't done any soundtracks since 2004. He could do eye catching themes as well as subtle background music His synth style seems to have come back into style now and would probably not be considered dated like it was...
Alright I fucking love The Parent Trap (1998) and I'm not afraid to admit it.

Thanks to Disney+ I got to revisit a childhood favorite of mine as a 23 year old man and LET ME TELL YOU THIS SHIT SLAPS.Right out the gate Lindsay's acting is fucking phenomenal. She does both accents great and when she's the Brit acting as the American I SWEAR to God she's doing a double layer thing where she uses the...
