I don't want to get on your case at Christmas but come on man. There is only one answer to best prison movie ever. Le Trou is good though.

Escape from Alcatraz?

Always liked Vinnie Jones, he just seems to make everything so much more entertaining. Good shoot em up, a few plots that all tie up in the end, and a good brawl between Englishmen and Lithuanians.

7.5/10

I just finished watching Bad Santa at my sister's house. Its a Christmas thing for her and her husband... my nephews were there too.... I wont rate it because well to me.. its not so great.

When Jews Were Funny - Not Alan Zweig's best.. The Jewish comics that were shown weren't funny, not one of them. Mort Sahl revolutionized comedy, but isn't mentioned at all, even though a lot of those guys might have been influenced, but Mort is his own man, and at 88, still going strong. I'm going to see him again in SF in two weeks!

I would check Zweig's other documentaries. He's very inquiring, and he puts a mirror to himself. "I, Curmudgeon" "Vinyl" and "15 Reasons To Live" are my favorites.

Queen of Earth (2015)


I could kill you right now and no one would ever know.

Mental illness is a terror as potent as any evil spirit when put in the right hands. Alex Ross Perry happens to agree, taking the Kubrick challenge by setting his manic horror in a brightly lit vacation getaway. While there aren't any axe murderers or elevators full of blood, Queen of Earth is a masterclass in sustaining a level of tension that average genre horrors should be jealous of. A noise can startle, but a stretch of silence can exhaust you. A killing is brutal, but the threat of a killing is torturous. Restraint is a virtue.

Indeed

You are still alive!

You should put those kind of posts in the animation review thread.

But you can though.

Spy -

You can't tell me that Kingsman is a better spy comedy than this movie.

This is a documentary that spotlights a very early cable TV channel, one that came before HBO, Showtime, and the like. It was a Los Angeles based station that used to show a great mix of foreign, art, Hollywood, and Grindhouse type films. It also spotlights the station's Chief Programmer, Jerry Harvey. It is told at the very beginning of the film that Harvey would come to murder his wife and commit suicide. My thought is that if they left this information for the tail end of the film, it may have had more dramatic impact. This movie has a lot of good commentary about Harvey and the station from various industry types ranging from Robert Altman to Quentin Tarantino to Jacqueline Bisset. Many clips are shown from a wide variety of films, with a couple getting added to my watchlist. I thought it was a pretty good documentary.

Seeing The Who's definitive album getting moved song-by-song to the big screen is somewhat joyful, but that's pretty much it. Tommy isn't my favorite The Who album because I find the plot to be a bit forced and flimsy, and the movie doesn't try to solve any of that. And there isn't the magic of you listening to the album and imagining the characters and situations by yourself. This isn't a complaint, since what I just wrote is obvious. I'm just pointing out that there isn't a major reason to see this movie, even if you are a huge fan of The Who, other than to see the band members and Eric Clapton and Elton John. Keith Moon is the best actor out all those people I mentioned btw. Rest are mediocre, but what this film needed isn't good performances anyways,

Completely agree with you on Tommy there Gatsby, coincidentally i watched it 2 days ago so i found it funny when you posted it on the movie you're watching tonight thread. Wouldn't say i'm a huge fan of The Who but i like them enough that i was looking forward to this and felt slightly let down. I actually only ended up watching it because i heard the opening to a CSI episode (Who Are You?) and worked my way from listening to The Who to watching Tommy

Okay, so a friend of mine *loves* this movie and we sat down and watched it. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Sure, I didn't love it or anything but it turned out to be a fun sonuvabitch of a movie.
