It's too backwards. I like those guys but can only handle conversation with them in small doses before I start going crosseyed. And I liked the elevator and air shaft scenes better when Tom Cruise did them.

I even knew that before I proposed to her! It's a pebble in the shoe of our marriage but I've learned to live with it.<br /><br />For some reason it's one of those movies I love that I can kinda see why it doesn't buzz everyone. One time after bugging a friend to finally watch <i>Back to the Future</i> for about a year, it played in a theatre for a fundraiser. I'd never seen it on the big screen so she agreed to go - it was a packed theatre full of adoring, respectful fans - couldn't have asked for a better screening. When it was over I said, "So? Great movie or the greatest movie?" She said, "Meh." THAT I didn't get.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03114869401584310369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-33195380255430368862017-03-06T02:54:07.683-06:002017-03-06T02:54:07.683-06:00I watched a ton of very different movies.
Starting...I watched a ton of very different movies.<br />Starting with "Mr Holmes", a fine movie with a damn great Ian McKellen in the title role.<br />Next was "Concussion" with a fine Will Smith and an equally fine Alec Baldwin in a way too tame depiction of the real story and way too much fortune cookie dialogue especially about god, which made my atheist mind cringe.<br />"It´s kind of a funny story" was really kind of funny. Interesting that I like most of those coming of age movies surrounding some kind of illness like "The fault in our stars" or "Me and Earl and the dying girl". Do I have to be worried about that?<br />Next was „Youth“ from Paolo Sorrentino, whose excellent „The young pope“ I watched a few weeks ago. This one was a strangely funny and surreal drama with an excellent cast, especially the great Michael Caine.<br />Then it was time for „Anthropoid“, a very uneven WW2 drama starring Jamie Dornan and Cillian Murphy. It had a very boring first half and a pretty decent second half with a great final shootout.<br />Next one was „L.I.E. - Long Island Expressway“ from 2001, a strange but captivating drama starring the very young and already great Paul Dano and the always reliable Brian Cox.<br />That was followed by Mike Flanagan´s „Ouija – Origin of evil“, which I only watched because of Flanagan at the helm. And it was pretty decent and entertaining, especially regarding the fact that it´s based on a board game and the sequel to a dumb and silly predecessor. <br />That was followed by Oliver Stone´s „Snowden“. A fine and entertaining film, but also surprisingly very tame for a Stone movie.<br />Next was the strange little „I am not a serial killer“, starring a good Max Records and a surprising Christopher Lloyd. Interesting and entertaining but ultimately not really satisfying.<br />Then came „Cell“ this ill-fated Stephen King adaption, which was all around bad, lame, uninvolving and amateurish. And this must be one of the ugliest looking movies I saw in a long time, which is totally surprising regarding that DP Michael Simmonds shot „Nerve“ right after this, one of the most interesting looking movies of last year.<br />Finally I watched „The theory of everything“, a movie I dodged for the last 3 years. It was fine and had a great central performance by Eddie Redmayne but otherwise was totally predictable. I still think Michael Keaton deserved that Oscar.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-52145933657118995852017-03-05T21:57:09.015-06:002017-03-05T21:57:09.015-06:00I'm not in the club!

I made the stupid mistake of consulting IMDB user reviews. Fuck...Every single one is 10/10 (or if not, it's 1/10, fuck you imdb). The point I want to make is, it seemed every single review that wasn't 10/10 felt the need to preface their review "I totally support the soldiers and war effort, but..."....<br /><br />I mean, it's as if not loving the movie meant you hate the military or something. Really? It's just a movie.....ah I'm preaching to the crowd here, but really?

When I do go, I usually go several weeks after it's open, on a weekday matinee. I like to be alone. Mostly, I tend to treat movie going as a special treat for the kids, and for those movies, I don't care about kids making noise. They're noisy, but not yelling out stuff for the "benefit" of the rest of the crowd.Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-72276742610678979632017-03-05T21:12:17.674-06:002017-03-05T21:12:17.674-06:00Thanks!
