Outstanding acting. Definitely holds your attention. In Theatres now.


Agreed. One of the best I’ve seen in a very long time


Just saw this. I agree, best of 2017. All good people are not 100%good, and bad are not fully evil throughout. We still have choices that we can make outside of our own character path...

I finally succumbed to curiosity a few weeks ago and decided to watch "Breaking Bad" (which I never had done) and have been binge-watching in patches since then. I'm now in the middle of Season 5, the final season. All I can say is "Wow!" Next up will be "Better Call Saul" :-)

I'm in the middle of Better Call Saul. It's a nice way to get over Breaking Bad withdrawal. Breaking Bad is a favorite of mine.

Sorry to Bother You 7/10

so if you've seen enough movies you'll realize this isn't as groundbreaking as some are saying, and some plot lines are just dropped (which is usually the sign of an ambitious script that had to be cut down in the editing room or just never shot to stay in budget) but it's still an imaginative, exciting, thought-provoking movie.

I would try to explain why, but it makes me cry to think about it. It will either resonate with you or it won't.


I know you posted this a while ago, but I quite agree. I thought it was excellent

"Us" 9 out of 10. absolutely great psychological thriller with a terrific twist at the end. Comedy was just right, remained creepy throughout.

Much better movie than "get out" - Is Peele a more relatable Shyamalan? Perhaps!

Roma 10 out of 10

this is on my short list of favorite movies. It broke my heart and then taped it back together. might feel slow at first but if you can follow along and enjoy the beautiful cinematography the plot will kick in and pay off.

Daffodils, a local production, but up there with the big ones. a wonderful film about growing up in NZ.During the 60s I think it is the Best local film in a long time great story and music as well

Finally had the chance to see "the Joker" - and I have to say, the major thing you take away from it is that maybe
BATMAN is not such a good guy as people think. Phoenix's performance was head and shoulders above Heath Ledgers'- and you realize,
not all that is perceived to be evil is truly evil, not all good is truly good.
A character, who feels wounded and deprived of true lineage, hell-bent on destruction of his perceived enemies, mostly out of vengeance and wrath-
marshaling the tools he has around him to inflict pain night after night-
is that the Joker or Batman,(spoiler alert)both! (and they are brothers).
9/10

I have a similar score for the Joker. I don't know if the performance is better than Heath Ledger's, I think Heath Ledger did an amazing thing in that movie, but Joker the movie is more significant to me than Dark Knight. The Heath Ledger movie, though tight and entertaining, is lessened by franchise silliness, whereas Joker goes fully into the allegory, less obligated to the plot.

Some have argued that Joker has its own cliches, kind of a Scorsese clone instead of a comic book clone, but cliches as such aren't bad. Scorsese is a rich template. And Joker IMHO is a fresher version of Scorsese than the Irishman.

Civil War.

What a crazy time to have such a movie- with the specter of more Trump still looming- and ironically
a day or so after he provides possibly the most idiotic comments regarding our actual civil war ever.

As for the movie, and the requisite spoiler alerts, they tried to keep it vague with respect to the sides that would be in the civil war but it's pretty obvious. This strangely had the feel of a video game turned into a movie much like HBO's “the Last of Us”- with Pedro Pascal, apparently was not available for this movie, although another star of that show, Nick Offerman was-

I can't believe the intrusiveness of the press during the firefights in this movie- but that is the lens we see it through. At one point there's a line from Kirsten Dunst, (who was excellent but seem to be underused as if she was the third person cast for this role(could have been Kate Winslet, or Cate Blanchette) and they were settling. I believe she should have gotten a bit more development-) “we don't make judgments, we document it so that others can” paraphrasing.

And so it is fitting that the press is standing right there taking pictures of the president and getting his last words “don’t let them kill me” with uncaring delight, as if in some fan fiction climax the good guys put some bullets in a wannabe fascist dictator. Perhaps for that it was worth it. 7/10.

Kinda forgot about this thread...
Last movie I saw was Killers of the Flower Moon. I'd rate that one 9.8 out of 10. Really, that good. And that depressing. I had read the book, which was a tour de force of research (but then that's David Grann's M.O.) and this was one case where the movie really did do justice to the book.
