1942 - Grandmothers diary ranking the films she saw that year
Films seen in 1942 - RatingsMy Grandmother passed away just over a year ago and my family still have the house her and my Grandfather lived in.I spent some time there over the weekend, and whilst sorting through the endless drawers, shelves and cupboards, we came across a number of photos, diaries and letters between my Gran and Grandfather.Within the diaries, my Grandmother would keep records which included the films she had seen that year as well as a ranking.I'm no 40s film buff, would love to know whether people think my Grandmothers film taste was any good... via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2BffLzX
Michael Shannon was the perfect person to play General Zod in Man of Steel. He is so great at portraying rage and raw emotion
I don't really know how else to describe it. Shannon had been in other films and even HBO's Boardwalk Empire, and whenever he was on edge or on the brink of a breakdown, you could feel his intensity.And he is perfect for Zod. A man (or rather, Kryptonian) filled with nothing but rage and determination to restore his planet to what it once was, simply because he can.Here is one scene as an example. And his speech at the end is equally powerful: "I exist only to protect Krypton. That is the sole purpose for which I was born. Every action I take, no matter how violent, or how cruel, is for the greater good of my people. Now, I have no people" via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2NF2Ppv
Any movies to watch when you feel like you are merely drifting through life and you'll die alone?
Waking up each and every day, nothing worth note happens. Never had deep connections in your life, a few quick jokes is all you are good for. All your friends went off and did something with their life and you remain the same. Everybody loves and is loved but you will one day fade away and your name won't be remembered and your thoughts that one day you'd meet somebody and everything would be better turned out to be a lie. Some people are born to be alone and aren't deserving of affection.So what movies should I watch?edit: thank you for the responses. Now that it's a new day, I suppose it's a new chance. I'm going to go to the library. And I am cutting off all the things that caused me to act out.On reddit, I only ever spent my time reading about video games I've played over and over and people take it so seriously that I forgot that the community as a whole isn't like that. I only expected like 5 or 10 comments, but I thank everyone who responded.I figure that it's probably not best for me to just watch every movie here from now to however long I finish but I will make a list and get through it on my time as proof that there are other people in this world.thank you. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2BQPBU8
What was the last movie that ended on a freeze frame, unironically?
Just finished watching 1986 classic buddy cop movie "Running Scared" starring Gregory Hines and Billy Crystal, and after they spoiler alert take down bad guy Jimmy Smits, it ends on a freeze frame.Got me wondering when freeze frame endings became cliché and what was the last time it was used unironically? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3eJGXFj

What happened to Matthew McConaughey’s “The Brigands of Rattlecreek” with Park Chan-Wook ?
Around 7 years ago, Park Chan Wook (Director of Oldboy) was supposed to direct this movie which was written by Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99). The latest update seems to be from a year ago, when they got Matthew McConaughey on board, and Amazon Studios picked this up, but there hasn’t been any updates since. Is this still happening? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3i4LWCJ
Where Eagles Dare (1968) is an excellent WW2 Spy Thriller
Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun Sunday watch. Reminds me a lot of some of the 60s Bond flicks, particularly On Her Majesty's Secret Service which came out a year later.Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood are dropped into an Austrian town disguised as Nazis to rescue a captured general from a mountain-top castle, before the Nazis can get information out of him.The plot takes some turns, which makes for a film that's fairly gripping from start to finish. via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2ZfgrNH
Why do good TV actors flounder when making the switch to film?
Just watched Richard Jewell (decent film, solid performances and direction), and watching Jon Hamm play such a mediocre role broke my heart because he’s one of my favourite actors who crushed it with Mad Men. It could have been played by any no-name and it wouldn’t have made a difference.I look at a large part of his filmography post Mad Men and it’s filled with similar roles. And not just him, even actors like Aaron Paul, Matt Bomer, Don Johnson, and so many more who are way more talented than the execrable roles they get stuck in.Any insights as to why it’s so difficult for great TV actors to transition to film similarly? via /r/movies https://ift.tt/2YF9ypF
