June 16Jun 16 I just watched a mind fuck of a movie. An Argentinan horror called When Evil Lurks. Check it out asafp.
June 21Jun 21 We blew off the Mission impossible series after number 3 many years ago. Tonight we decided to watch 4. I just don’t get why these movies are so popular. It’s just the same fights, car crashes, stunts, blah blah blah in every one. Why do people eat these movies up?

Excellent motorcycle and skydiving stunts. Decent twists too. But I agree with general premise. Nobody wants to watch 150 minutes of stunts. Needs dialogue and humor.
June 21Jun 21 For funny gory horror, The Monkey is a pretty good time. Caught it on a flight. I also liked Inheritance (spy thriller) although the music might have been my favorite part.
June 22Jun 22 old school. didn’t realize how many years it had been since i’d seen it (at least a decade), and didn’t remember just how much of this movie made up like 50% of mine and my buddy’s vocabularies throughout high school. a couple i’d forgotten about: ”marissa, you’re the lady.” and ”sorry baby.” there were several more. also SO many minor characters who went on to be known actors. did you know that and were in the frat? i did not. also, that was back when leading ladies were still 90 lb white chicks who become invisible when they turn sideways. different times. better movies. WAY better original comedies. oh yeah, and it was a tight 88 minutes. such a great movie. Edited June 22Jun 22 by Derka

June 22Jun 22 Today, I saw A Wrinkle in Time. It's excellent. I read the book as a child, but I have no recollection of it. The book was read by the son. The daughter has been pleading because she loves all five of the books. To put it simply, "See it with your family... on acid" should have been the slogan.

June 24Jun 24 Cool Hand Luke There is nothing supporting this on the Interwebs…but I’m 100% certain that’s Willie Nelson singing Camp Town Races in the scene prior to the egg eating scene
June 24Jun 24 I've been working through the movies of modern Asian masters, so Park Chan-wook, Wong Kar-wai and Bong Joon Ho. Park Chan-wook is my guy. I watched Oldboy years ago and I praised The Handmaiden earlier in this thread. I got to Lady Vengeance and that movie is so much my shit. Woman is wrongfully imprisoned and puts together a team of a sort to help her when she gets out to get revenge. Fun first hour getting her crew together and the second hour is devastating. Park is clearly a deranged person, but he puts together some incredible movies. I still have some work to do on Park and Wong Kar-wai (In the Mood for Love, holy shit), but I have finished up Bong (great throughout, Parasite is still tops). It's been a fun project. May start an international film thread to discuss more.
June 25Jun 25 See for me, seeing it again on the big screen is the juice. Edited June 25Jun 25 by mdmost
July 1Jul 1 American Hustle. I enjoyed the story. Amy Adams was a braless wonder.... I wanted to see the story behind this scene that someone recut to be the Texas welcome party to the SEC:
July 1Jul 1 I’m giving you a night call to tell you how I feel Love this track (updated version with Phoenix is great as well). Was cool seeing them perform it at the Olympics. Angele is a 10.
July 1Jul 1 Just watched The Postman Always Rings Twice. Classic film noir. Lana Turner is smoking hot. Fred Flintstone even makes an appearance. Classic film.
July 2Jul 2 Indian Summer on Prime. A group of friends from camp reunite after 20 years for a long weekend. The Big Chill it is not, but it’s a pleasant summer movie with terrific actors that stay in their lane.
July 4Jul 4 Saw Zodiac at the Paramount. Just a brilliant movie. My favorite Fincher film. With a crowd, definitely more humor than I remember, especially considering the subject matter.
July 7Jul 7 Only the Brave. Fuck that was hard to watch.This was one of the biggest out-of-nowhere punches to the gut ever for me. I’ll never watch that movie again.
July 7Jul 7 Took the wife to see this for our anniversary after a nice dinner. Beautifully shot and Tony Leung has been a favorite since Infernal Affairs.
July 7Jul 7 xXx: Return of Xander Cage. Slow rainy day, first Vin Diesel movie .. evah. Can’t say much for the story or acting, but plenty of action as expected. I must say, hotdam he’s surrounded with some serious poon. 😳
July 7Jul 7 Bring Her Back Totally fucked up and makes zero sense. Thunderbolts Seemed like an exposition on depression for much of the movie with cool super hero shit mixed in.
July 7Jul 7 Hard Boiled The whole movie was incredible but the last 30 minutes had me grinning like an idiot. Just fantastic
July 8Jul 8 Lawrence of Arabia is on tonight on TCM. It’s just starting, 8 p.m. EST. The restored version.

July 9Jul 9 Caught Dazed and Confused on cable last night. I know there are probably dozens of pages dedicated to the movie, at one point in time, and I myself watched it daily on VHS for one whole summer and my friends and I could smoke a joint of mexican dirt weed and say every line, but I hadn't seen it in at least 25 years. Still a pretty good little watch. Looking tough!
