Watched the beginning of Empire tonight. The Battle of Hoth is so full of plot holes and just illogical battle nonsense. But I don’t give a shit.

The movie is great.
The entire Hoth sequence is almost pointless, certainly stupid, and doesn’t fit into the movie at all.

How dare you sir. 

Baby Boom currently on TCM, always been a sucker for this movie, Keaton is just a doll and you also have the incomparable Sam Shepard.

Empire is so fucking good from a drama perspective that I don't even notice legitimate plot holes. The writing, acting and pace is brilliant to a degree that even if I noticed something nonsensical it probably wouldn't bother me. I will debate with anyone that Han and Leia in Empire is one of the best on-screen romances ever.

I watched Tropic Thunder for probably the 15th time a couple of nights ago. There's no way it isn't one of the best 5 comedies of the past 15 years. Unfortunately that's a pathetically low bar but I'm pretty confident in my assessment. There are 5 or 6 lines that every time without fail kill me and make me rewind. 

Hot Tub Time Machine - It's stupid, but funny.

And the chick Craig Robinson bangs in the tub has a fabulous rack. World class.

Watched that last week -- Dakota Johnson is a honey.  Very good movie.

 

Imagine being a vagabond with 1 dirty t-shirt and Dakota Johnson still following you around for days.

Fireworks (Hana-bi) (1997)

Curious as to whether any of you have seen this beautiful flick.  I find it hard to recommend -- it has such a thoughtful pace for what is essentially a Chuck Bronson flick. The soundtrack is really interesting -- I am wondering if it influenced later anime music.

Just a really interesting take on the genre, and you could feel how it likely influenced lots that came later.  I'm just not precisely sure how.

David Stratton of The Movie Show called Hana-bi "an unclassifiable film" and "quite extraordinary," with co-host Margaret Pomeranz stating "I was ultimately so moved by it. It did what cinema is meant to do, for me anyway, and that's take me on a journey that is mine, that ultimately ends up inside me, in my heart." Stratton concluded that Hana-bi is "hard to describe to audiences, but all I can say is: Go and see it. It's great." The duo both awarded the film five stars out of five.[12]

The film is included in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die.[13]

Uncut Gems. Ended about the way I expected. Good job by Sandler. Girlfriend was smoke.

Thanks for this. Exactly the kind of movie I need to watch every so often.

Onward. And as a dad with two boys was not prepared for that emotional ride. Wife and I were both holding back tears while the two boys thankfully didn’t pay attention and threw couch pillows at each other during the heartfelt scenes.

Watching The Ten Commandments, again.
 

 

With Troy McLure?

Watched “Peanut Butter Falcon” with my wife last night. I’ve got some nostalgia for anything Shia Lebouf does, but this one really rang out to me. My nephew is non-verbal autistic, and my brother doesnt  quite know what to do with him. I’m hoping seeing this might encourage my bro with his son. Anyway, still a good flick. Mark Twain-sian

I watched The Sisters Brothers this weekend and didn't like it.

I really enjoyed Yesterday and Blinded by the Light, both very well done

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot isn’t very good. Which isn’t very surprising, and I love all the old Kevin Smith movies.

Thanks for the rec.  Bar none, my favorite line:

What's the fastest way out of here?

Jet pack!

For the 20th time or so but still good

negged, with prejudice 

just watched ‘serenity’ with wooderson and anne hathaway.  the lady wanted to see it because she’d read it was so bad it was good.  I had hope for a good bad movie.  nope, it was just bad.

fat little punk ricky baker is a great character.  his haikus were great.  and the foster mom singing him happy birthday.  and “cauc-asian?  they got wrong because you’re obviously white.”

Have hit up Redbox several times recently because my wife and I rarely go to the theatre any more.

Watched 1917 and Jojo Rabbit on Sunday. Both were very good.

The way 1917 was shot was amazing. The whole movie looked like one continuous take. Watching the "extras" from the DVD was absolutely fascinating.

Jojo Rabbit looked great on screen. The kid was really good and I thought the ending was perfect. 

The Rider - damn that was good. modern day western drama. young cowboy fighting back after a rodeo accident

Yeah, Wilder people is still my favorite movie of that director.  I have watched it a few times.  Great movie.

 

Unloading from the past few months from reviews I posted elsewhere. If it seems like my ratings are mostly high, it's because I try to watch movies I think I'll like, and avoid those I know I won't

Joker. I really dislike Joaquin Phoenix as a person, but gotdam that man can act. Heard it was good but had no spoilers. It was better than I expected. DC hit this one out of the park.

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out Her, Inherent Vice, and You Were Never Really Here. Preferably back to back to back. Best actor of the decade.

Double feature of this and Lean on Pete* will take you pretty far down into the darkness.  Both of these you see some light, but damn, those were some hard stories.

*more road movie than modern day western.  Not sure the rider is really a modern day western, although horses.
