Ozzy Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Watched Fruitvale Station again, that movie is absolutely outstanding. Probably should have won some awards, outstanding and very powerful film. First real lead role for Michael B. Jordan, extremely well done! Also watched Parasite again, hated that movie originally and after watching it again hated it even more. What a joke that film won 4 Oscars and according to IMDb is the #34 best movie all time? Movie freaking sucks absolutely, lucky for them Song Kango-Ho was in it so people did not shut it off. So odd the director is now known for that when he also directed and wrote Snowpiercer a far better film in every way I would say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seminoles1 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I watched the the Caesar Planet of the Apes trilogy in preparation for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which I saw yesterday. Such consistency in this franchise. Not a true weak link so far, which is refreshing in a modern blockbuster series. I'd rank them: 1. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 2. War for the Planet of the Apes 3. Rise of the Planet of the Apes 4. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Biggest issue with Kingdom were minutes 20-60. It rreeeaaalllllyyy dragged for a bit. But overall I liked the themes and the two competing motivations for the humans and Noa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinneasGage Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I saw the tv glow really enjoyed this; super immersive. up there with challengers as my favorite of '24 so far. a lot of the theater hated it. quite a few parts you might roll your eyes at, but visually it's incredible. felt like something David Robert Mitchell would make, just from the way it looked. really unique feel. and easily the best score I've seen in a movie in a long time. just some of the dialogue is a little iffy for my taste, but still really great movie.

I got a little bored during Kingdom and there was a drop off from having Cesar as the main guy. Sounds like this was mainly to set up future movies.

It's Tarantino's masterpiece imo. Is it too much of a slow burn? Is it not bcuz it's not as violent? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowler1215 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Sicario was great. I saw it twice(first time was a few years ago), and while it was better the second time, I wouldn't want to watch it again anytime soon. It feels like the war on drugs is similar to this, where even the good guys get their hands just as dirty, if not dirtier than the drug lords they're going after. Great cast and direction. I wish I saw this in the theater just for the scene on the border, that was tense. 10/10 Machete is a pure guilty pleasure movie. The violence and blood/gore is so over the top it's almost comical. Great cast in this as well. I could watch this once every year. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not bcuz it's not as violent? not really low for me; i think it's mid-tier tarantino. i watched it 3 times and liked it each time. some of tarantino's funniest sequences, especially the last manson murders sequence. it's easy breezy and fun and i liked just existing in that world. fun just going around this grimy *** old LA area. probably the only time besides jackie brown (my favorite tarantino) where we got real flawed characters that didn't feel like cartoons or just characters that were speaking his tarantino dialogue. only reason it's not super high like in the jackie brown / hateful eight territory for me is just there's long sequences that really did nothing for me emotionally and i just wasn't completely invested/captivated in what was happening. it was scenes that were definitely necessary, but they just didn't do it for me and felt kinda lifeless to me at certain points. and for some reason it just felt constricted even though it was a pretty sprawling film. like i remember licorice pizza came out a like a year later and i think they were going for a similar vibe in a sense, but that movie just felt so much more random / anything can happen... and it just looked so much more interesting visually. wish QT filmed it on whatever he filmed Hateful Eight on. just enjoyed Jackie, Hateful 8, Kill Bill more, but OUATIH is a movie i'll probably revisit a few more times if i live an average amount of time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INbengalfan Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Aquaman 2 was cheeks. My only take-away was that Mamoa definitely enjoyed making the movie a lot more than I did watching it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) It's been a while since I watched Casablanca, and it's every bit of the absolute classic I remember it being. Do yourself a favor and watch in on Max if you've never seen it. Edited May 22 by THE DUKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
