I'd wanted to watch this again for a long time. It's not hilarious, except in a few places, but it is funny and sweet.

Darkest Hour
Hidden Figures


Really enjoyed both of these. Was especially taken by Hidden Figures. How is it that nobody (read: me) ever heard of these women until this movie? While the main threads of the story(ies) was plenty compelling I thought the way the movie depicted the "casual" but pervasive every day indignities of being both a woman and black was terrific and even more effective for being subtle.

Pixar can really do no wrong (outside of the Cars movies, which suck)

Saw this yesterday and really liked it despite expecting not to. Incredible art direction and loads of cinema/TV/literature references. We were with two other couples and the split was a strong half loved/half loathed.

Love this film and never figured why it's not one of the seasonal classics.

It really was good, and is well enough loved to have gotten a remake (not so good, I've heard). I have two theories: The first is that a rom-com needs both members of the couple to star. There's nothing wrong with Dan Morgan's performance, but Stanwyck and the rest of the major cast is better. The second is that a Christmas movie needs its own memorable song.

and only one is really all that memorable, thanks to the luminous Lauren Graham!

For Christmas Story, I would have gone with, "you'll shoot yer eye out, you'll shoot yer out" :lol:

A double bill at our local cinema. I can honestly say The Room is truly dreadful (not helped by all the spoons)

im a big fan of cheesy slasher movies, and this one had a solid premise (a rich old woman feels ostracized from her family so she trains her dog to kill them) but none of it made any sense

Image
this was cheap fun though. boris karloff played a dead guy who gets 24 hours to do a good deed so he can get into heaven. obviously super cheesy and dated (especially the "invisible" bikin shots. i love lo-fi green screen stuff like that) but it was a gross day outside and all that goofiness really hit the spot

The trailer looked terrifying. I immediately thought, "I don't need more terrifying in my life". Hard pass. :)

Yeah, there's a lot of things I choose to pass on as the real world is terrible enough for me.

But this mess had maybe one kinda disturbing moment in the whole thing. The rest was derivative, insulting and just plain silly. I still have pretty much no idea what this movie was about.

My best guess is "Alien meets Interstellar".

id heard a lot of things about this but it was actually less ridiculous than i expected, which was a bit disappointing. it is definitely terrible, a shameless mcdonalds and coke ad, and an even more shameless ET ripoff, but i hoped itd be more absurd than it was. still a fun hour and a half

Image
really not my kind of horror movie at all (i prefer them more on the over the top comedic side a la so many 80s slashers) but it was solid. managed to have shocking moments even while overall very predictable

What. The. Actual. Fuck?! :shock: :shock: Spent 2 hours & 47 minutes this evening watching a movie called The Good Shepherd, starring Matt Damon, featuring a superb cast including old friend Joe Grifasi and directed by Robert DeNiro. This movie is a very rare bird indeed: One that I enjoyed and appreciated for many of its subtle successes while at the same time I basically have no clue as to what actually happened. Let me assure you, 2 hours and 47 minutes is a long time to watch a movie w/out understanding it LOL. If anyone out there understands it, please, PLEASE step forward and share your knowledge.

Edit: One interesting twist was that William Hurt played a big shot CIA spook which was kind of weird since I very much associate him w/ that role where he played that true life FBI Russian spy a few years ago.

One of the most fully-realized and enjoyable Marvel Cinematic Universe films since the first Avengers. My primary quibble is that Chadwick Boseman could have been a bit less laidback in his portrayal of T'Challa, but I think that was an acting choice and justifiable.

Red Sparrow got a very positive review in the NYT today, much more so than I had been expecting. Really looking forward to seeing this one.
