A lot of people absolutely loved it, me included.  I thought it was absolutely perfect.  We had a pretty good thread about it on here 

I did enjoy it.  I definitely want to take another look at it.

I liked it much better the second time (as I do most QT films).   There's a ton of stuff you can gloss over on the first viewing that you catch the second time around.

I watch a lot of horror - watched The Nightingale last night on Hulu. One of the better movies of 2018.

Office closed due to snow yesterday so I watched 3 totally different movies

Us - Ok, but didn't enjoy it as much as his first one

The Mule - Eastwood was great and enjoyed it

First Man - Good biopic. Even though you know how it ends it still makes you nervous. 

#1807

The Aeronauts - Available in 4K on Amazon Prime. Good story and great visuals. This movie is out in limited release and it would be awesome on a big screen.

You'd think that at some point in reading the script you might realize to yourself, "this is a piece of shit"
 

A few years ago, I was on a flight to DC with an acquaintance - she was a utility GM, and she was heading there with several of her linemen to support them in some national competition. I definitely appreciate linemen, hard work and they can be some tough SOBs....but goddamn that movie looks terrible.

And Kate Bosworth is gorgeous, but needs to eat a sammich.

And finally...a movie about linemen that doesn’t use “Wichita Lineman” in the soundtrack is worthless.

Parasite. Why was this movie hyped at all? Get like a long Netflix B movie. 

Not sure if I've agreed with you on a single thing before, but this was an absolutely fantastic film.

Uncut gems: incredibly intense movie from start to finish. Adam Sandler was great.

I heard good things about this.  I started to watch 6 Underground earlier, liked what I was seeing until I had to turn it off.

2+ hours of non-stop tension.  I thought it was very good (and disturbing).  Went in really wondering if Sandler could pull off a serious role - he can.

Star Wars- A New Hope. My wife's first time to see it, at the age of 45.

She is NOT a sci-fi girl at all, but stuck with it.  Hated when Obi-Wan turned off his saber with Vader, and then said Luke and Leia are gonna fall in love...LOLz.

ESB looms, and I did tell her there is a mindblowing twist coming...she has heard me and my boys for years saying, "Luke, I am your father," but she has not connected the dots yet.

it is fun watching them again for somebody else's first time...

Reign over me is a solid serious Sandler movie.

Watched this yesterday afternoon

and this last night

 

Almost Famous is one of my faves 

#1820

SIAP... Watched Togo. Very good. Defoe's Broadway skills played a big part. Meshed well with true story line. Reading into the serum run, a lot of good came out of it. Worth it with the family.

#1822

The Lighthouse.  This claustrophobic film is one of the best portrayals of a descent into madness that I've seen.  I really don't have a desire to see it again, but it was pretty gripping while I was watching it.  Willem Dafoe is outstanding, and Pattinson was a lot better than I thought he'd be.

Every time I see the commercial, I keep thinking they couldn't get John Turturro.

Dang, watched 20 minutes of this and there is just no chemistry of any kind going on between the two main characters.  Will put it aside and come back.

Clouds are indeed nice.

They are indeed opposites with their own agenda. That changes. It's a good story, stick with it. The visuals are the main character. The first thunderstorm is just a taste. I kinda have a thing about heights and my heart was thumping more than once. Also, landing is a bitch.

Uncut Gems. It was OK. Sandler was solid but I never really cared if he lived or died.

Seeing uncut gems today. Looking forward to Julia Fox.

I wanted to like it but it was too long, repetitive and I lost interest. No character was likable enough to care about. 

#1831

Uncut Gems - frenetic and loud with an offsetting Vangelis type soundtrack. Interesting movie. Very Loud Voices. Need a drink. 
 

Julia Fox is great.

Caught tail end of The Way, Way Back but recorded another showing to watch next week once all the games are over. 

#1834

I just watched Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure for the first time. Since I’m not a 12 year old boy, I’d have to say this is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

Junanji II - if you liked the first one, you’ll probably like this one too.

Jumanji (original Robin Williams version) - didn’t like it as much as the new ones.

#1835

I agree with the comments about Uncut Gems.  Interesting movie.  Held my attention.  Fucking loud soundtrack and dialog.   Very frenetic pacing.  Thought Sandler was fine but not amazing.  Not a waste of time, but not something I'm likely to watch again.

#1836

Sandler did a fine job, albeit loud, shouting and all Pacino like. I sincerely wanted him to win in the end.

The score was a distraction.

#1837

Le Trou (1960).

French escape film.  Pretty procedural, but still pretty good.  Made me want to get a care package with smoked meat, goose liver pate, and vanilla rice pudding.  The director, Jacques Becker, a protege of Renoir, died right after making this.

The dude to the right in this poster was actually involved in the break that the flick was based on.

Repeat Performance - Eddie Mueller described this one as "a noir version of It's a Wonderful Life" during the introduction on TCM and that's pretty apt.  Sheila Page murders her husband on New Years Eve and finds herself granted the opportunity to live the entire year over again.  I was entertained.

Joan Leslie and Richard Basehart were great. The husband was borderline unwatchable.

FX's Christmas Carol with Guy Pierce is brilliant. They've taken one of my favorite classic stories and brought it to life in a singularly deft way.

Time  has made given the story too much to jolly caricature and removed the edge that I believe Dickens intended. That's back. The creative team also explores some motivations quite well.

This movie was a great surprise.

Aeronauts (Amazon Prime)

About hot air balloon ride to measure weather.

It's ok to good.  My asshole stayed puckered.

Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones.

Jones is really really good. She is a talent.

I'd recommend it but it's not great.

#1845

Good Boys is pretty funny. Sort of like a live action South Park with a bit of a modern Stand By Me. I was laughing out loud several times in the first act.

I agree. It is different in a good way.

Uncut gems....80% of the dialogue is people arguing or talking over each other.  Shit wasn't worth the headache lol.  

 

#1849

Jolene--a movie about a red head that never says no and escalating bad decisions that feel a lot like The Odyssey for an Okie.  Stay for the breasts--her best career decision seemingly involves a pole in Vegas.  After her Mary Tyler Moore moment at the end,  I prefer to believe that the movie continues post credits with her returning to sin city to fulfill her dreams of finding another sugar being for everybody's sake.  Plus I'd wager she can fit a whole apple into her mouth, so add that to the sequel.
