Man, I hope Colossal turns out good.

 

[Count Dookkake]

No need to hope; Colossal is great.

Is Your Name actually coming out in theaters or is it on a streaming service, because looking up on yahoo movies I don't see this shit anywhere?

 

[RuinerPrime]

gonna see Your Name later tonight. Me & the GF have been looking forward to it.

Theaters but it's a limited release.

I'm likely going to try see Your Name and My High School. Both look pretty interesting.

Edit: I really wish GKids had picked up Your Name instead of Funimation, cause they're the only company willing to make an effort to distribute animated movies in a serious fashion. It would've also had a higher chance of getting an Oscar nomination, since GKids pushes hard for those, but Funimation couldn't give less of a fuck.

I may end up going up tomorrow. FUCK!

It's in theaters. It'll expand in the coming weeks. Here's a map of where it's screening: https://www.funimationfilms.com/movie/yourname/

did you do this write up yourself expendable?

 

[MedicUnderFire]

I saw Free-fire this week, and it was great. A well-paced and acted "single location" movie, I like all of Ben Wheatley movies, so i wasn't disappointed. If you like 70s and 80s crime thrillers, you should enjoy it.

 

[Expendable.]

did you do this write up yourself expendable?

Yes. Every single month since 2009. They're all published on my site, The Film Stage, too.

What have been your recent favorites in the last 3-5 years? I could recommend some based on that. I've seen a handful and can confirm they are pretty great.

I think you'll enjoy Split and Get Out if you haven't seen those films.

Me and the gf loved Your Name. Will definitely pick up the blu ray.

Colossal isn't playing anywhere near me which is a bummer

I'd definitely say Colossal would be up your alley. Also, The Void and Free Fire, but I haven't personally seen either. You might like Small Crimes too, which is from the director of Cheap Thrills.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

The dub for Your Name is really good. I didn't read the fine print on the Laemmle website and ended up watching it instead of the sub and was pleasantly surprised once I got over my initial disappointment.

Going to try to catch Colossal and High School and maybe one more over the holiday weekend.

 

[New002]

I loved Your Name and will pick up the BluRay. Also, just wanna say I 100% agree with you that this Fast and the Furious second wind peaked with Fast Five, thought the subsequent ones are fun.

 

[Violet_0]

you sold me on The Lost City of Z
added Colossal and Free Fire to my to-watch list as well

 

[Quake1028]

Colossal (Nacho Vigalondo; April 7)

Small Crimes (E.L. Katz; April 28)

 

[overcast]

Anything playing near you guys? This weekend Free Fire and Lost City of Z open in my town.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Bump because I was reminded that we are approaching the 25th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots of 1992, and there are quite a few documentaries on TV that I'm trying to catch. Given that one is available online right now, for free, and others are available via a cable/netflix subscription, it's not a bad time to get started. Other titles will release throughout the rest of April.

The Guardian has a good rundown

Watching this one tonight

THE LOST TAPES: EPISODE 2 LA RIOTS

The city of Los Angeles erupted into chaos on April 29, 1992, after four white LAPD officers were acquitted for beating African American motorist Rodney King. Over the next six days, television and radio reports, home video, and police footage captured the turmoil that led to 54 deaths, nearly 12,000 arrests, and over $1 billion in damages. Using these recordings, we take a look at one of the biggest periods of civil unrest in American history as if it were all unfolding in real time.
