seminoles1 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Shame on the academy for awarding The King's Speech over The Social Network in so many categories. The Social Network was the best film of the decade. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 6 hours ago, fluhartz said: One of my favorite movies. Andrew Garfield is so great in it. A lot of good acting in it.. As far as the score it is all good, but the Henley Boat Race Sequence is just awesome. Hard to go wrong with 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'. 2.5 minutes of perfection from Grieg and a great twist on it from Reznor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of all-time great directors who don't lose their touch after 15-20 films can probably be counted on two hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowler1215 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Saw X was better than expected. The first part where we get to know John was good. The people he targets and puts in traps were more than deserving of it. And we know why these people are in the traps before they're in them Usually we see someone in a trap then we know who they are and why they're in them. Here, we know why they're in the traps before hand, especially the main villain, she was so spiteful. But you really have to suspend disbelief when the twists and turns happen. And since this takes place between Saw and Saw 2, we already know John and Amanda will live in this one. This is one of the better entries, although that's not saying a lot. 6/10 The Killer on Netflix was ok. Michael Fassbender is great in this, and David Fincher directs this very well as usual. While it's a basic story: hitman botches a job, wife or girlfriend is beaten very badly, hitman goes on a revenge tear. It's told differently. For one thing, Fassbenders characters dialouge in 95% narration. He says maybe 30 words to people thoughout the movie. And for a 2 hour movie, this did feel longer than what it was. Not a bad movie, might be better on a second viewing(maybe that's just me) 6/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Sleepy Hollow might be a top 10 favorite movie in how it looks. That was vintage Burton. Still holds up pretty well except for a couple bad CGI shots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) Also, Ladyhawke is so under appreciated. Criminally underrated. It’s such a unique storytelling perspective. It manages to present an outstanding romance plot that’s relegated to a subplot as the antagonist isn’t involved in it, but stuck in the middle of it. Navigating the two characters separated by night and day. It manages to fully flesh out three characters while keeping 2/3 separated from each other, but all interconnected. It’s excellent and carries so much heart and humor intertwined. This movie is like a microcosm of Rutger Hauer’s career. So underrated it’s not even funny. If you haven’t seen LadyHawke, you really ought to watch it. Closest movies I would compare it to would be a mix between Dragonheart and The Princess Bride. It is to the fantasy genre as Enemy Mine is to the sci fi genre. Edited December 11, 2023 by MacReady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EddieGeorge27 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 The Boy and the Heron is a masterpiece. If it is truly Miyazaki's last movie, it is a perfect movie to go out on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
