Any plans for a ‘ The Nice Guys‘ sequel?

I recently sat down and watched the 2016 Shane Black film for the 37th time ‘ The Nice Guys’ starring Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, and Angourie Rice.I really seem to like Shane Black's style of movies. I loved Iron Man 3. No wonder why they chose him to direct it. His writing fits Roberts and Don Cheadle’s fast-talking...
[spoilers] The King's Speech (2010) - just something I noticed

I watched it for the third time or so today.It really is a masterpiece of externally demonstrating ("showing") audiences the importance of speech.The way speech affects other peoples' perception of you is shown in so many little ways that I had not noticed before, such as:When Elizabeth (George's wife) initally meets...

Phone Booth (2002) - A totally forgotten film with Colin Farrell at its best needs a rewatch

I'm not sure why the movie got so forgotten, but that shouldn't have happened. Phone Booth is a classic chamber play that is almost exclusively performed by Colin Farrell in an old phone booth in New York.Joel Schumacher (director), Matthew Libatique ( cinematography) and Larry Cohen (script) keep the tension high throughout...
Friday (1995) is brilliant movie.

Recently I rewatched Friday (1995). This is one brilliant comedy. Great performances by whole cast especially by Ice Cube and Chris Tukcer. Every single character is hilarious. The story is great and it's different than most of hood movies. This movie is extremly quotable. It's shame that Chris Tucker don't appear in...

Some movies are so dark, not that they’re explicit, but I can’t see anything

Movie production need to have better lighting. Years ago, I remember watching Percy Jackson and the Lightning Theft and during a pivotal action scene, it was pitch dark. There should be no reason why I can’t see what’s going on. Sometimes I have to turn up my brightness all the way on, but I still can’t see the movement...
After watching Mission Impossible - Fallout again, I'm convinced it's my favorite action movie.

Just absolutely stellar from top to bottom. The story is fun, yet believable. The performances are great, and the score is phenomenal. Christopher McQuarrie's directing is in peak form, and the set pieces he whips up just contribute to the fun story. I'm really glad that not only did they being McQuarrie back for Fallout,...
The ‘Sound of Metal’s use of subtitles was awesome

In the first half of the movie the character is newly deaf and cannot understand sign language. Subtitles are not displayed at this point unless the character speaks with their voice. Once the character begins to learn sign language they started displaying the subtitles/translation for sign language. Thought that was...
What is your favorite “fun” movie?

I’ve needed something to cheer me up/have a good time with because I haven’t been doing great recently. I’m away at school now and watching movies is basically where I get most of my entertainment from, but I’m sort of burnt out on heavier dramas and have found myself unable to even get 30 minutes in recently.What movies...
Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) has gone through more traumatic horrors in the Alien Franchise that most characters in a film series don't

I just did a marathon of the first four movies, the Alien Quadrilogy and kept track of all that Sigourney Weaver character goes through in the course of 4 films.To start even when we first meet her, she is in space having left her 11 year old or so daughter at home. Even with her survival she will never see her daughter...
What is your favourite end of the world movie?

Mine's Melancholia, not only as end of the world movie, but also one of my all time favourite cinematographic experiences.Melancholia - trailerYes, yes, I know that the actual meaning is much deeper, nevertheless it pictures end of the world.There is something about Von Trier's filmmaking that is so beautiful even in...
"Batman: The Silent Motion Picture" - I've edited Tim Burton's "Batman" (1989) into one of the silent films that inspired it!

Watch "BATMAN - THE SILENT MOTION PICTURE"All rights to the film "Batman" belong to Warner Brothers. This film is a fan edit, not made for profit. I claim no right to the material presented above.I attempted to upload the project to Youtube, but as the silent auteurs F. W. Murnau and Fitz Lang would have intended - the...
What is an example of a great cast against type performance? What is an example of a terrible cast against type performance?

Sometimes an actors career can be completely redefined when they are given the opportunity to play against their very defined type.The most obvious example of this is Heath Ledger playing The Joker. I doubt there was a single person on the planet other than the actual filmmakers that cast him that had any expectation...
Movies that feature one last scene/Easter egg after the credits roll? (not Marvel movies)

Because everybody knows Marvel movies do this, that's a given. I think it's cool when a movie does this, it rewards the viewer.I tend to always fast forward through credits (especially if I really liked the movie) to see if there's any Easter eggs or scenes after. You never know!I'll start: To Live and Die in LA (1985)...
I rewatched Dredd (2012) in 4k UHD last night and I was again reminded of what a fantastic action movie it is.

Watching Dredd gave me the same feeling that I got when I saw the original Robocop for the first time. That type of ultraviolent action mixed with science fiction that hits just right. What a shame that we will probably never get another one! Great performances, striking visuals, and satisfying action. A window into just...

HBOMax and Disney+ NEED to improve their apps if they want to compete with Netflix.

This is a bit of rant. I have a 2020 model Roku TV and the Disney+ app just failed to load on multiple attemps, and HBOMax is so slow to load and clunky to use that I don't watch anything on the app unless I absolutely have to.And granted, the Disney+ app is generally faster and more stable, but why does it keep asking...
What are some of the best movie "B plots"?

I love Kirsten Dunst's character arc in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". In fact, after watching that movie a few times, I've developed a deeper appreciation for the "C plot"(?) of Carrie and Rob (David Cross)'s relationship. In general, I think subplots and secondary characters sometimes emerge more clearly upon...
Official Discussion Megathread (The United States vs. Billie Holiday / The Girl on the Train / Tom and Jerry)
What film has squandered the most talent?

I was thinking about the 2015 film Burnt the other day and just how much it wasted the time of the actors involved on such a lousy script. Daniel Brühl and Sienna Miller are both fantastic in anything they do, and Bradley Cooper is... consistent but still decent. What other films do you think wasted the time of the actors...
