Hacksaw Ridge is getting a lot of positive reviews and praise...I'm hesitant to check it though because it look overly stylized in the 1st trailer...a lot of slow motion action shots...I hate slow motion action shots; is there a lot of slowmo in the film?

I saw Arrival -- 4/5 .. Solid flick, pretty thought provoking. I want to see it again. I wouldn't rank it above Sicario or Prisoners for Villeneuve; but still a good film. Solid director.

Three movies opening up this Friday that I want to see -- Nocturnal Animals, Manchester by the Sea, and Bleed for This. 

I would put Arrival behind Sicario and Incendies for Villenueve but ahead of Prisoners, and on par with Enemy (a decisive one of his movies). Would highly recommend checking out Incendies if you haven't.

 

I really hope to see Nocturnal Animals and Manchester by the Sea as well.

As the movie went on I thought Vaughn got better but I agree, he was a terrible choice.

As the movie went on there was less of him, which was better. But he should not be in any serious film ever again.

Are you referring to Capra films he directed in the 40's or all Capra films? I thought he directed some very good classic films like "It Happened One Night" and "Arsenic and Lace" to name a few.

I am talking about the stylized world where army chums call each other Tex or a dozen other made up nicknames and everyone in the hometown is all shucks, by golly. I don't want to kill the film for others but it was flawed when it could have been better written, casted and directed. Better than most of the films out there but not an Award Winner.

I bought Incendies like 6 months ago but have yet to check it out. I actually just put it on the top of my to watch list and plan on getting to it this weekend.

I gave Homeland s4 another chance, and it's pretty good. 

Claire Danes is sorta hot...like in a crazy way.

Holy shit Homeland Season 4 is so good. What a great season

It's not a pleasant, uplifting watch, so just a little warning. Not that most of his other movies are though either.

not sure it's been mentioned, and I don't know how to search for previous posts (shut up), but has anyone watched Rectify? It's a series about a guy who, after spending 19 years on death row, is released due to his DNA not being a match to samples from the original crime scene.  He's not exonerated and the townspeople still think he did it. 

such a good show. 

I consider it one of the best pure dramas to ever air on TV. I haven't had a chance to start S4 though since I'm busy with school, but I am still very surprised it was even renewed by Sundance.

 

The Preacher from Deadwood (HBO) actually created Rectify (Ray McKinnon).

I did the same thing. Didn't watch Season 4 until a year after it aired because I really didn't like 3. But 4 was very good, and I think 5 was at least as good, if not better. 

Yep, I pretty much gave up on the show after cheesy S3. Season 4 was very thrilling, but I found the last couple episodes to be painfully dull.

S5 is also boring thus far (on ep. 3), but I'll keep watching.

Saw Dr. Strange this afternoon. What an aptly named movie.

i like Benedict Cumberbatch, but this was a weird movie. Plus, the whole space-time thing got muddled and needed some more explanation at times.

happy to hear someone else here thinks do highly of the show. I've watched up through S4E2.  

Why were you surprised that it was picked up for season 4?

Saw Arrival last night. Jeremy Renner's character serves zero purpose. He's a theoretical physicist whose expertise isn't put to use once.

Very few people watch it because it's on an obscure channel. It's also been completely ignored by the Emmy's, which is very unfair. Another very underrated drama to watch is The Knick.

The gf had been eagerly awaiting Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Went and saw it today. Not typically my favorite genre, but I thought it was really well-executed, flowed well, and looked great. It basically nailed what it set out to do as well as it possibly could have. If you have kids, take them to see it. They'll be totally enthralled, and you'll likely enjoy it too.

au contraire, mom frère. I think people should only be allowed to post if they HAVE been drinking 

[Brandon]

yeah, i was going to say, "who doesn't like tits?"

i don't think that has anything to do with being drunk.

however, if it does.....

Saw Inferno yesterday, which is the ne t movie in The Da Vinci Code series with Tom Hanks. It was just about what I expected and I'd give it a B-.

I tried to watch that awhile back. I couldn't get past about 20 minutes before I turned it off. Just wasn't funny to me. More annoying than anything. Maybe I'll give it another shot. Maybe I was in a bad mood or something.

Its definetely a niche type of movie. like an amchorman or big lebowski. they are pretty mainstream today, but when they first came out not so much.

Give it another shot. first time i tried watching didnt like it either. then one thing made me laugh, so the next time it came on i paid more attention and ended up laughing my ass off.
