You underrated it.
Last I check, The Last Goodbye Peer Pressure Rating™ was at least a 11/10
You underrated it.
To the below quote- THIS^ THIIIISSSS. Also, I don't like much Pixar at all. This is exaggerated further by my opinion that they've trampled over better films in terms of awards and recognition time and time again. I'm almost irrationally anti-Pixar at this point. The only two movies of theirs I really liked are Finding Nemo for its weirdness and Ratatouille because of its intelligence. I'm even kinda iffy on the Incredibles, though less so than most of their movies.

Where's Deadwood in your equation?

Au revoir les enfants was amazing, great war story, wonderful child actors... It was only my third Louis Malle film, and I already absolutely love two of them (this and Pretty Baby, wasn't that enamored with Black Moon). Need to watch more, anyone got a suggestion?
Ascenseur pour l'échafaud, Lacombe Lucien, My dinner with Andre, Murmur of the Heart (not necessarily in that order and I haven't seen all his filmography) should probably go on your watchlist if you're interested in him.
My dinner with André was on the radar already, and I was just reading the wiki for Ascenseur pour l'échafaud and it seems amazing too. Thanks! You have a favorite among all those you've seen?

I'd like to add The Fire Within.
I really need to watch Au Revoir Les Enfants again. It had a hell of an affect on me the first time.
What I got wasa movie where Chappie is built near the beginning of the movie, but then used by terrible people, and brought up in their terrible ways. The whole movie I was near screaming at the screen for the misuse of that tech, though, technically they were doing what it was made to do...they were teaching and it was learning. But those gangsters could never comprehend what a marvel of science they have living among them...by the end I was hoping that Hugh Jack-Man would just obliterate everyone, except the scientist - the "maker", and Chappie. The end of the movie pretty much has the bad guys becoming immortal in the aspect that the female will be put into a robot, and in time, so will Ninja. Which is terrible, because they are awful people.

Thanks to those people who suggested Plex in my thread about media management - it's amazing. Got a nice little collection of about 180 films that were physical, now all nice shiny and digital.
Anyway, watched Inside Llewyn Davis last night. Knew very little about it, but had heard it was one of the Coen Brothers' weaker films. Well, even a weak Coen Bros. film has to be pretty good, right?
It was massively different from what I was expecting. I can't lie, I loved it. Very little happened, and the film was almost neurotically internal, but with such a soulful asshole at the centre of it putting in such a strong performance, and those songs... Damn if it didn't hit home with me.
As a story? Not so good. As a portrait of both a man and a particular place in time? Fantastic. I did think the little'cameo' at the end was weird. Was that just an allusion to the guy or was it meant to be him?Bob Dylan
I can see theThe girl wasn't that bad a person though, and one thing I look on the bright side with that movie is that the beginning where scientists are talking about how Chappie "changed everything" implies that their immortality-through-robots scheme went public after the movie ends, and there's no way the world would let Ninja go through what the girl and Dev Patel did.
I don't know, I liked the movie overall but yeah, Ninja rubbed me the wrong way entirely.
Lone Survivor - The story behind the movie is quite interesting, and made for a bit of a teary finale. However, the movie itself had some issues. It was okay overall, though.
apparently the best Italian movie out of Cannes is an American one: The Other Side sounds tremendously interesting, a documentary in the vein of Frederick Wiseman's best works with Michael Moore's gusto for editing and storytelling . Can't wait for it to come here
I really loved the prolonged battle in the middle of that film. One of my favourite war scenes. It was jut so intense and hopeless and painful looking the way they got shot to pieces bit by bit. The beginning and end not so much though.
those are kinda two things i don't really associate with moore?
Really enjoyed Clerks 2. Kevin Smith remains one of my favorites when it comes to writing dialogue and conversations, regarding topics a lot of the time too, at least in Clerks. I don't know how to feel about where he's been going recently though lol... I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready to watch Tusk.
Tusk doesn't sound very good to me, but I'm a Kevin Smith fan and still want to see it. It's airing on The Movie Network on Friday, so I'm saving it.
Here's hoping I won't find it boring or too weird. I'm not really into super weird movies.
My favourite Kevin Smith movies are Chasing Amy and Clerks, with Clerks II and Mallrats not too far behind. I don't like Dogma as much as most, but want to give it another chance, and also like Jersey Girl more than most.

great, lets us know if you go and how it was. I drink these movies like fresh water after a day in the hot sun
Poltergeist (2015)
Look, I enjoyed the movie. No, it's not as good as the original, and no, a new version wasn't necessary. Still, it is a cool horror flick. It was decent.
How is Rockwell in it? The trailer I saw made it look like he was having fun with it at the very least.
