Just thinking on the Oscars that year….how could Midnight Express not sweep the board?
Midnight express is actually good for a start, has great performances and tells a story that is ultimately far far more interesting.

Michael Cimino should consider himself lucky he's dead because I'd kick his ass and demand my three hours back.

It Comes at Night: 3 put of 4 stars

Solid. Seems alot of people were really big on this one and while it's good, I didn't think it was terribly different from others who have tried this sub genre. I liked it though.

Is it at least better than 10 Cloverfield Lane?
These enclosed space horror flicks get on my tits. I did not like the one with Michael Biehn a few years ago.

Similar setup kinda sorta. They can go outside though. I dunno, I kinda thought the characters from 10 CL were better. I liked that movie though even with the unnecessary last ten mins. This one had more of an interesting dynamic since it's more of a fear of the unknown that the characters deal with rather than a fear of a figure who's motives become known.

Better writers and actors in 10, but better story and emotion in ICAN.

War Machine - 7.5/10

What I don't get is Pitt run ended shitty, while this general his character was based on apparently got off with a shitton of medals and was hailed as a hero.

The Founder

It was good enough I guess. It told the story it was supposed to tell and it didn't drag on for too long. It's pretty much the exact same "rise of the capitalist" story as the Facebook and all of those Steve Jobs films that have come out recently, which in general I don't think is a particularly good concept to make a movie around since you need a bunch of contrived situations to explain the plot points. They of course had the cut scene where you see gradually more and more McDonald's start to open one after another. Michael Keaton basically did his Jack Nicholson impression that he probably developed for talk shows, but he plays a good sleezeball, and it's nice to have an actor you're comfortable with when the main character isn't really that interesting on his own or well written. Bill Offerman was good as the McDonald who keeps getting screwed over on the phone, those were the best scenes.

I liked reading that review, DrA.

Nick Offerman not Bill.

I'm looking forward to seeing the film because Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch are all absolutely incredible at what they do.

What's all this shit about Michael Keaton doing a Jack Nicholson impression? That seems like a fairly large slight to aim at the man while he's currently in a well deserved career resurgence…especially when you have the man's visage in your avatar.

Bill Offerman*

Maybe you should read DrA closely, duuuh.

I'd like to do sex with Megan Mullaly

You sick pervert, she's 59 years old. She could be your sister!

I love Michael Keaton, and I thought he was good in the movie. That's how it came across to me in the end speech that he did, not really the entire movie, but the speech is one of the last scenes so that was on my mind as I finished.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle: 8/10

I had a number of "issues" with the film, but on the whole it was just so much fun. During one of the scenes during the climax of the movie, I had a big wide smile on my face involuntarily.

I wouldn't put it above the first one, but it is still good and fun.

Thought the founder was outstanding

I came here to place a review of this as well. Saw it last night and this basically sums up how I feel as well.

Any more anal sex with the princess or whatever her title was?

No, but she is in it, which surprised me.

Moviepass #5 - Kingsmen 2 - 9/10 liked it more than the first but I'm biased

Almost paid money over in London to see it over there..getting to see the front of the shop was cool though.
No one in the theatre 10 min before..hmm

Kingsman 2: The Golden Circle - 6/10

A bit outlandish but hella fun.

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three-8/10

This is original with Walter Matthaugh. It's at times tense, funny, smart and well paced with good characters.

My only gripe was the end. The character who helped operate the train for the bad guys seemed hesitant the entire film, until the end where he assumes he's a free man. His demeanor changed and didn't seem to fit.

But overall it was very good.

Brad's Status: 3.5/4

Loved this. Anyone who compares themselves friends and their successes or failures should give this a look.

How is Brad doing these days? Did he buy any other forums?

Brad was the best owner of tpww. By far.

'71 - 7/10

Kingsman 2: 8.5/10 - Not as good as the original, but it comes far closer than the majority of sequels do. The "celebrity cameo" made the movie IMO....

Whose cameo?

Elton John

I finally watched National Lampoon's European Vacation. With Chevy Chase Commentary. He is a self absorbed egomaniac and that movie was garbage for the most part. A couple little chuckles.

I've never seen blade runner. There's a double feature (for 2x price obviously) tomorrow night . can't use movie pass though. Do I see pay to see both or rent original somewhere and moviepass the sequel..decisions

Edit I've got a 99 cent rental on Google..might do that

Wind River - 8/10

Weird I haven't heard about this movie at all. Renner is great, Bernthal with a small role, but delivers as usual.

IT.. put and SH in front of the movies title and you've got my opinion of that pile of trash 2/7

Assault on Precinct 13-6/10

This is the original. It was ok. They never really develop the reasoning behind the gangs joining together. But once it going it was pretty good.

Blade Runner 2047 - 3 out of 4

Good. Kinda confusing at times and some shit makes little sense but not enough to ruin it.

Like



Personally

Blafe Runner - 5/10 not really understanding the cult following/love for it. Felt like I watched a movie for 90 minutes and nothing happened. They atmosphere of the movuecwas great though..albeit with some 20/20 hindsight watching a movie set 37 years in the future 2 years away from the time frame.

Moviepass #6- 2049 6/10 I sort of felt like while there's more of a story the fact that its almost twice as long evens that back out. The visuals all convey the same universe from the original spot on. The twist at The end actually got me but it seems to not mean anything inn The long run. If they don't make a sequel again the whole movie just seems pointless

Lol yeah....they never got around to explaining that did they?

Moviepass #7 Mountain Between Us 6/10 take out Winslet and Ilba and replace with generic actors and you'd have a lifetime movie that id never bother to see. As it was it was ok. They should have eaten the dog though

Because..moviepass. Tons of old people

The Bitter Tea of General Yen - This movie was very interesting. Very progressive for it's time in showing a relationship between a white woman and a Chinese warlord (during a time when miscegenation was illegal and would soon be banned in film) and portrays American missionaries as naive and misguided... but it also has it's main Chinese character played by a white guy in yellowface. Films of the early 30s also seem very strange to me, like they had just started using sound and didn't quite know how to make movies with talking yet. Weird, beautiful, dreamlike movie, a couple times I thought I fell asleep watching TCM or something. Great picture! 10/10!!!

Wonder Woman - Good. I can't stand when the third act/last action scene is the worst part of a movie, very common with many new action/comic book movies. I still liked this though 7/10

Blade Runner 2049 7/10

Purge Election Year 6 out of 10. Was good enough but nothing special. Wonder what would actually happen if the Purge was real. Doubt it would be as violent as most people would probably just loot.

Blade Runner 2049 - 4.75/5

Almost perfect.
