Not gonna lie, I haven't seen this and I don't think I will. But based on the movie poster alone, it is safe to say this movie is garbage.

WTF are you talking about? I was saying there's no need for him to be ruthlessly mean to you, jesus christ. Maybe it is justified since you can't actually read,

Also i didn't ever ask anything about you let's get this straight. You've been a creep towards me for years, you asked me to meet you in Liverpool and you asked if i wanted to see you naked, i responded to both of those by telling you you shouldn't say that sort of thing to random people online. You've also offered me your number several times, which i've conintually rejected. I've sent your creepy messages from when you were pestering me to two different members while it was happening, so let's not start please.

Nah, That's why there was no response by anybody in the diner, he was just resting his head as he was both physically and emotionally exhausted.

I thought the reason there was no response would have something to do with the film title and relate to the entire film rather than just expressing what he dreamt/wanted at that time

Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAffee (2016)

This is a well done documentary about the brilliant, but paranoid character who is John McAffee. Although it's a documentary, it's truly stranger than fiction, and one wonders how much is actually true. It's true that he invented and prospered from the McAffee antivirus software, and it's true all the places he's lived, and regarding many of his past and present business ventures. But the rest.... not sure.

Regardless, it's a fascinating look into one of the most interesting guys in contemporary history.

It came out on Showtime, but it's available in full on YouTube. The full feature is 1'37.

Hey Nat, don't delete your account because you liked a bad movie. I was making fun of the fact that you rated such a terrible movie a 9/10 but I didn't mean to hurt your feelings.

Regardless, my sincere apologies.

I used to watch a lot of crappy movies too, because the plot is not complex and the language is not hard for me since English is not my native language, and I claimed those movies the best movies I have ever seen.

Then in years I watched so many better movies, and when I finally reached 1000 movies mark, I realized how terrible those movies I watched back in the day were. And that makes me appreciate great films even more today, and that's why I would come to a forum like here.

Just keep an open mind that there are so many good movies out there and you will find the ones you love. Don't waste your time on crap like Transformers 2, and that's just my 2 cent. But it is still your choice.

Cheers and have a good weekend.

Murder on the Orient Express 3.5+ While I was always so-so when it came to the Belgian detective Poirot growing up and had never read the books or can even remember seeing the original from '74, I have no idea how close to the story or if the murderer(s) is the same as the book or the previous film, but I did enjoy the cinematic aspects and the old Hollywood feel of the performances of everyone.
Will need to check out the '74 version again since I haven't seen it since it first came out.

Great review - everything you say is on the mark and so aptly put. Dog without a bone!!! Great metaphor.


Btw, I consider Gene Hackman to be one of the all time great actors. Immensely talented at his craft - in a way that doesn't announce he's a star; he just inhabits the role and makes it true. Loved him ever since he played Clyde's brother in Bonnie and Clyde.

[dadgumblah]

And briefly Jeff Goldblum and Christopher Walken...its totally puzzling...its hammy as, quite literally, hell ;)

It's everything you've said, but I cannot help but dig this movie! I used to love Cristina Raines (I admit, more for her looks than her acting, but her acting wasn't bad either) and boy, that really was an uncomfortable scene with Beverly D'Angelo, um, getting in touch with herself right in front of Raines. Yeesh! It's one of the few movies I've seen where I actually responded to a jump scare with the old man suddenly appearing from behind the door. Whoa.

Just a personal aside: Many years ago, my wife, my sister, and my niece all went down to Corpus Christi and stayed in a large hotel that overlooked the bay. I instantly went to the balcony to enjoy the scenery and pulled up a chair, sitting still. My sister came up behind and sarcastically said, "What are you, The Sentinel?" Couldn't help but laugh at that. Only if you've seen the movie will you get that little joke. :)

I've always felt the same way about Poirot, though I must say I did enjoy Branaugh's depiction of him.
And, also, I requested the original '74 version of the Orient Express just to make comparisons.

I only like Poirot when he's Peter Ustinov. Because he's Peter Ustinov. ;)

The Fourth Protocol. Michael Caine must stop a Russian agent (Pierce Brosnan) from detoning a nuclear bomb on an American base on British soil in this late 80s thriller based on the Frederick Forsythe novel. Great cast (including Ned Beatty, Ray McNally, Michael Gough and Julian Glover) and watchable enough, just never really catches fire to become anything more than "okay".

[SeeingisBelieving]

I liked Kenneth Branaghs portrayal too. I think he captured the quirks without being "stagey". David Suchet is awful at the Belgian detective.

:confused:

I'm nonplussed by this :p. I thought David Suchet was fantastic. I've only read one of the books, Hercule Poirot's Christmas, so I don't have much of a feel of the character beyond the screen versions.

I liked Peter Ustinov as well and I noticed Ian Holm played the part once – I bet he was good. I really didn't like Albert Finney's take on it.

I'm not enthusiastic about Kenneth Branagh not just because the moustache seems ridiculously un-fastidious but also because I have read Wallander from cover to cover and I thought he was diabolical in the role.

I liked Branaghs "Wallander" but not a patch on the Mankell books or the Swedish incarnations. Just good to find something decent on telly for me!:D

He also did a nice job as Wallander. But after seeing Krister Henriksson's excellent work in the original Swedish series and films, his portrayal became the de facto one. Therefore Branagh's didn't quite hold up for me.

Read all the Poirots when I was a kid and for me, Ustinov was the Poirot. Suchet second. The rest, abominable. And I agree with you on Wallander, too.

Pyewacket

A frustrated, angst-ridden teenage girl awakens something in the woods when she naively performs an occult ritual to evoke a spirit to kill her mother. The pyewacket is a believably terrifying thing.. this doesn't play for jump scares or cheap cgi but effectively builds tension and dread, after 30 minutes there was no more effort involved. I had a much better time with this than I did with The Babadook

Lol edarsenal. Glad to know I' m not alone regards Poirot. And if you are so inclined, tell us when you have a chance, what you think about the original. It's one I can easily re watch, even knowing the ending. Great stars in that, including the wonderful Lauren Bacall.

Marlene Dietrich: Her Own Song (2001) 4.5

43948

Film documentary about the life and times of the German-born and American-nationalized legendary diva. Captivating and well-documented biography of a unique movie & music star; primarily in English and German, with some French. Includes plenty of footage and interviews with family, colleagues and historians. It's a sweeping experience that spans a huge chunk of 20th Century history:- From her childhood as daughter of a Prussian police officer and her career beginnings in Berlin in the interwar Weimar Republic years, the film passes on through her breakthrough success in 'Der blaue Engel' in 1929 and subsequent move to California and Hollywood; her commitment to giving support to the US troops fighting against Nazi Germany; the later postwar years (including such anecdotes as bringing the house down with cheers when boldly singing in German at a postwar concert in Tel Aviv, or being spat on as a 'traitor' by a woman in Düsseldorf); and finally her self-seclusion in the final years in a Paris appartment. A life well lived and a truly fascinating life too.


Million Dollar Baby (2004) 4

43949

Critically acclaimed US tragic drama, directed by Clint Eastwood. Waitress Maggie (Hilary Swank) dreams of becoming a boxer and begins training at Frankie's (Eastwood) old gym with a motley crew, including the reluctant boss himself, the second-in-charge & film narrator Eddie (Morgan Freeman) and a great peformance by Jay Baruchel of minor character Danger. Things begin well for the determined young woman but fate deals a heavy blow along the way and the direction of her life changes dramatically. The stomach-churning manners and mentality of Maggie's trashy family only further adds to the tragedy (Margo Martindale convincingly plays the dreadful mother, another good minor role). Main actors Swank, Eastwood and Freeman are all in top form, and the high-quality Eastwood direction creates an atmosphere that ranges along the full emotional sweep from sweet victory to deepest despair.


Koyaanisqatsi (1982) 4

43950

Non-narrative film that contrasts the natural world, such as the Grand Canyon, cloud and water formations, with aspects of the parallel & artificial human world, such as mass manufacturing and consumption. The underlying concept revolves around the Hopi (Native American) concept of "life out of balance" (the film title). Very impacting juxtaposition of images and scenes, and mesmerizing sounds and colours. The traffic and commuting scenes were very memorable, as was one particular scene with the fixed stares of a group of orange-clad women in Las Vegas. Sometimes smiles are captured in passing in the faces, but more often than not it's loneliness and alienation that prevails. Music is by renowned master Philip Glass and Ron Fricke - later of 'Baraka' fame - is director of photography.

Funny, this concept was made to create tension for Shôtarô Hanayagi (he needed tension to act grandly) and of course, it worked. Another limitation is that Hanayagi was in his 40s, his character was meant to be a young man, so keeping the camera apart was a way of manipulating the viewer.

I had no idea what this was about and just thought from the poster that Jessica Chastain played a CIA agent, spy, or something of the like. My wife then told me it was a true about gambling and that I should like it. I definitely thought it was an interesting story and it has a very fast pace. While watching I wished there was more of an edge to it, but then I guess with it being a biography, that would require some embellishment. Chastain and Idris Elba are great as expected, but it was Michael Cera who made the movie for me. He was fantastic and I didn't expect that. If you don't like a lot of narration, then don't watch. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was nice to hear that I'm not the only one who's not allowed in Canada.

https://adesojiadegbulu.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Slumdog_millionaire1.jpg


A powerful film, with a very misleading poster. This is not a feel good film, it is powerful and thought provoking, but many of the scenes show the sad and brutal life of slum children in India. These slumdogs live in garbage dumps and are brutalized by gangsters. In one scene, small homeless children are gathered from the dirty streets by a nice smiling man. He feeds them and teaches them to sing. Then he forces them to beg on the streets....and in a gruesome scene pours boiling hot liquid into the eyes of a small child to blind him....Blind children earn more money as beggars. There's also torture scenes in the police station. Of course this is a Danny Boyle film and those kind of horror-esque scenes are his trademark.

I had a hard time watching some of this, but it is an excellent movie and Dev Patel as always is top notch. Slumdog Millionaire won best picture for 2008.

Love Streams (1984, John Cassavetes)
5

A beautiful, bittersweet, quietly heartbreaking film about life, love, loneliness, regret, loss, inability to connect or contain emotions. Masterfully nuanced, mature direction by Cassavetes, and Gena Rowlands, needless to say, is incredible.

The rain at the end appears to be a metaphor for "love" in its painful, destructive, impenetrable aspect, streaming chaotically and uncontrollably over the two siblings - two soulmates that are unable to handle its power and unlock its mystery.

Heropanti (B+) and A Flying Jatt (B-): These two films, currently on Netflix, star second generation Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff. The first is his film debut, a romantic action-comedy in which Shroff shines in three major action set pieces, showcasing his skills in gymnastics and taekwondo (he's a 5th-degree black belt). In this film, he is kidnapped and forced to reveal the location of a man's estranged daughter and Shroff's friend, who have eloped. Shroff ends up thinking a young woman he met and it turns out she is the man's other daughter.

The second film is Shroff's take on the superhero film, in which he plays a martial arts teacher who is more or less, a disrespected wimp. That is until one day, a lightning strike during a confrontation with the eventual villain to protect his family's 200-year old prayer tree, gives him superpowers. It starts out funny, but when it's revealed that the villain, played by Nathan Jones, has also gained superpowers that are enhanced by pollution, things get real due to a personal tragedy caused by said villain and thus, makes Shroff really go from zero to hero. Fun film, just doesn't know at times whether it is supposed to invoke religion or the environment, or both...it's gets a bit too much. Like where are too many characters in Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, there were too many themes for me, but Shroff is the saving grace IMO.

Darkest Hour
41/2 out of 5,( or a B+ )

I'd been wanting to see this movie for a while, and finally got the chance yesterday. I think that Gary Oldman well deserved his Oscar for bringing Churchill to life, as a man of great stature, still to be admired today. And the rest of the cast- especially the always screen worthy Kristen Scott-Thomas as his loyal wife, Lily James as his awestruck and eventually devoted secretary, and Ben Mendelsohn as the king, bound by his vintage elegant manners, while in the verge of abandoning his country should England be invaded- all were admirable in their roles.

A few personal observations: From the start- the visual landscape of the film seemed enveloped in grit, dust, and fog. All was dim, until just before the pivotal ending with parliament, the sun breaks through on an outside street. Apt for the subject matter, and dreary old England where an umbrella is as much a fashion accessory as sunglasses are in South Cali- but for this viewer- it was a bit claustrophobic in terms of cinematography.

Of course I don't know how much the storyline is historically accurate but I' m pretty sure Churchill did not descend to the London subway to interview riders about the war. And yet- as a plot device, it worked and in fact-as a character device it somehow ring true. I do believe that Chirchill reflected deep in his heart of what would be best for the English people - and like any great hero, let his desire to best serve his people guide him. I did most love - of every line in the film- the line from his wife - as he is struggling with the decision of appeasing the Nazis or fighting full force- when she said: "You are great because you are imperfect, you are wise because you have doubts."Wonderful- how incisivelly, and insightfully, well put - to describe a monumental, yet very human, and likable figure as Churchill. I also liked the wry humor throughout, from Chutchill feeding the dog under the table; or teasing his wife, when she asks if they're getting old- "Well you are." It makes a man who could just be formidable - human and endearing.

It is why this film transcends what could be a limited audience - not usually my type of movie btw. Otherwise the movie might only appeal to people who are history buffs, or those who are intrigued by the political machinations in government.( That would not include me.)

But in making this monumental figure real and knowable, the movie is not just a story of political intrigue, but an examination of character and what makes a person a great and inspiring hero.

A side note - as an American I was fascinated at how strongly the King still dominated the government of Grrat Britain then. Nothing I could relate to in our country's history. Another fascinating aspect of the film, deftly portrayed.

I did not give this a solid 5 star rating however, because I did feel the story could have been 'tightened up' a bit. At over 2 hours of what was essentially a movie of dialogue , I did feel it dragged on , and could easily have been edited down to 1 and 1/2 hours.

Still it's a movie I'm glad I saw. I was reminded of Capt. Sully, (who also had a movie made about him) - the man who landed a crashing plane on the Hudson River,and has said he never felt like a hero, but perhaps people made him one because they felt the need for a hero at that time ( around time of USA downfall economy) I would suspect many of the greats of history have had that same thread of self doubt, humility, or just the sense that the measure of who they are is just a need to perform a job well done- as Churchill did . At any rate, Churchill was to me, in this movie, and now in my more vivid concept of history- a grand soul to be admired.

There are 2 Danny Boyle films I don't like. Slumdog Millionaire is one. 127 Hours I kind of hated. :lol: Cat, what didn't you like about Slumdog Millionaire?

I haven't seen 127 Hours.
I've seen these Danny Boyle films:
Steve Jobs...I disliked the negativity and yelling so much that I shut it off after 15 minutes.
Slumdog Millionaire
Sunshine...mostly a great existential sci fi, with a ridiculous sub horror plot, added on:rolleyes:
28 Days Later...not really my thing but appropriate for Boyle to do, I actually thought it was well done and exciting.
The Beach...I don't remember it, don't think I was overly impressed.
Shallow Grave...not a fan of this one which was just in the 15th Hof.

[Saunch]

Sunshine is great, slasher turn included.

The second Trainspotting is exceptional as well. It turns out much darker than one might have imagined. It’s the opposite of the first’s ending, as in a rendition.

Supercon (B): A funny heist comedy that pits a former child actor, a voice actor, a former TV cop, an animator, and the creator of the child actor's TV show against the greedy promoter of a comic convention and the star of said TV show, who has become an icon and an arrogant scumbag. A funny ensemble cast including Ryan Kwanten, John Malkovich, Maggie Grace, Russell Peters, Mike Epps, and Clancy Brown keep the film driving smoothly. Has some very funny and at times raunchy moments, especially from Kwanten, who virtually brings back the characteristics of his Jason Stackhouse character of True Blood, but as a voice actor who pines for Grace. A fun different type of "heist comedy". Coming to theaters/VOD/Digital this Friday.

So I checked out Trash Humpers (2009) last night. You pretty much get what the title promises, along with trees and bushes being humped, and branches jerked off into oblivion.

I saw Korine's feature debut, Gummo (1997), years ago and I didn't really dig it. Trash Humpers is a sort of a spiritual successor, which I enjoyed much more. Besides being entirely shot on VHS, what I liked about Trash Humpers is how modestly sinister it is. The film is mostly three actors in creepy ass old people masks drinking, breaking ****, and doing inexplicably weird things (like humping trash cans), but their exploits soon become more alarming as they graduate to murder and stealing babies and ****. Upon reading more about Trash Humpers, Korine originally wanted to distribute the film just by leaving random VHS tapes and have people uncovering it, but he found out he wouldn't be able to retain a copyright that way, so he released it theatrically. I also see what Korine was going for in locations for the film: "For Korine, Trash Humpers is an elaborate portrait of the of the "American Landscape": a series of "park garages, back alleyways, and beautiful lamp posts that light up the gutter." Korine has repeatedly emphasized his use of street lamps and how they are for him deeply representative of America." Overall, I think I would have enjoyed Trash Humpers more in the backdrop of weed smoke in my college dorm, but it still was worth checking out - I don't know how soon I'll revisit it.

rating_3_5++
Good heads-up about Maudie. We watched it last night, and I was really drawn into the film. I normally don’t enjoy pictures that are designed to tug at one’s heart strings, but this story about a poor, disabled folk artist painter was very absorbing.

It was chiefly Sally Hawkins’ film, and no one plays waifs, sorrowful or pitiable women better than she. It’s impossible to view her performance and not feel sympathy for Maud Lewis’ situation, while at the same time admiring her outlook, stamina and art talent. Hawkins slightly overplayed her role, but the melodrama absorbed her portrayal.

One reason for my interest in the movie was that I had conflated Ethan Hawke with John Hawkes, so I was eager to see another master stroke by John Hawkes. Wrong guy. But Ethan Hawke did a creditable job in a part that was unevenly written.

This was basically a female production, so it’s going to focus more on feelings, emotion, and hardships. However I was curious about the actual Maud Lewis (nee Dowley) character, so I researched it a bit. Turns out that there was a large amount of “Hollywood license” taken to embellish the story.
Maud actually had polio as a child, which caused her deformities, and lack of dexterity with the paint brushes, although she did develop rheumatoid arthritis. She was taught as a child to paint Christmas cards, which she later created to sell alongside her husband as he peddled fresh fish. She gave birth out of wedlock to her daughter at aged 25. Maud gave her up to adoption, as she had no means to support her. Later her daughter tried to locate Maud, but could not. After Maud answered Everett’s ad for live-in housekeeper, they were very shortly married. He was never brutal to her, and in fact it was he that encouraged her to paint, buying her a first set of oil paints. He did the house-keeping. She then started painting on larger media, the “canvas” size limited only by her ability to stretch her arm. Interest in her work grew naturally out of local interest and exhibiting. In actuality there was no Sandra character from NYC who started buying Maud’s work. Maud’s paintings eventually brought her $7 to $10 apiece. She could not keep up with the orders. Later at auction, some brought as high as $22K. Maud died in 1970 at aged 67 of pneumonia. Everett was killed in 1979 at their tiny home by a robber.
One criticism is that the characters weren't aged enough during the span of the story. Even at the end, the actors barely looked over 50. Despite the liberties taken with the real story, and the uneven writing for Everett Lewis’ part, this is a film worth watching. Hawkins and the others received several awards in both Canada, Ireland and London.

I one-starred this the other day (and for a good chunk of it was leaning towards a half-star) but as with all the other Korine ones I've seen (Gummo, Julien, Breakers) I can definitely sense that there's more going on here than what meets the eye (if not necessarily that much more). That whole final sequence alone, for instance, made me rethink a good chunk of what had come before. I may even have to change my rating now.

Was amazed to find on Wiki that Orson was only 26 when he did Kane. He looked more like 46! Joseph Cotten was about 35 when he did the movie & he looked at least 10 years older.

Enjoyed this female Wall Street movie. Anna Gunn killed her rôle & made the movie for me. Sarah Megan Thomas, of whom I have never heard, was also excellent. Kept thinking I was watching Zoe Kazan or Zosia Mamet, but it was her. All the men’s rôles were rather vapid & none of the actors was particularly good.

For some reason I read this and thought of Stephen Fry and his various, sometimes elderly Blackadder characters. A man of around 30 playing a booming, deranged First World War general and being totally convincing :).

I'll be watching Orson Welles in the final section of Three Cases of Murder (1955) soon. He's great in that, but Alan Badel steals it.

Not that interesting, but important to see/know.. I couldn't stand the director who'd keep trying to bait her. I don't like any type of blacklist. Nothing worse than anyone trying to control freedom of thought, usually done by people just as bad, but with a mask of whatever is trendy that moment, and as long as they don't have to risk anything.

Maybe I didn’t make my point clear enough. Orson wasn’t “aged” at the start of the movie. I meant that he naturally looked so much older than he really was. You would never believe he was only 26 years old if you saw the movie.

4 This is very similar to Lord of the Rings, T2 and Jurassic Park it's a spectacle that mixes humor and still packs an emotional wallop. If I would have a knock it's that the story isn't really that cohesive it feels like a Soap Opera where you bounce from story to story. But unlike say The Last Jedi each one of the set pieces and side stories works really well. I'd also say the title is a little misleading because this could easily be Guardians of the Galaxy 3 as they shine more so than Cap and Black Panther (which was a bit of a shock).

Solyaris (1972) 4****
Amazing movie. I love philosophical movies and it was beautiful like a piece of art. My complaint would be the length, sometimes i felt like certain things could have sped up a bit. Otherwise not much to complain. The scenes with Hari were beautiful. She seemed to represent a certain Geworfenheit , a philosophical concept that we are just thrown into the world without understanding who we are and what to do.

Disagree. Orson had a "baby face" until he was like 40, here's a promotion still from Citizen Kane:

https://i.imgur.com/DH5XdKo.jpg

Think it's just that he had a bit more weight on him than your average toned movie star today and because he ages throughout the film. His booming voice probably played a part in that too, it's very easy for me to believe he's a year older than i am now there.

Three Cases of Murder (1955) – 6.5/10

The second segment of this omnibus of stories is what lets the film down, despite a clever twist. It's really worth watching for the first segment – a superlatively acted "tale of unease" – and the third segment, which also has a supernatural aspect. Alan Badel appears in all three segments and gives distinctly different performances in each, but in the first he's downright mesmerizing :).

More American Graffiti

https://i.imgur.com/1YoDgt0.jpg

When I saw American Graffiti, I felt literally transported back to the 50's. It had wonderful characters and dialogue yes, but it's most of all the feel of it that really made it special. A kind of nostalgic vibe you only get once in a while. It might not have been his first, but it's this movie which put George Lucas on the map. I dare even say it's better than the movie which really made him famous (Star Wars). How could it ever possibly be beaten by the sequel?

Well, it couldn't. But I did hope it would give me some of the same warmth and charm of the original.

It did in some parts, and in some it did not.

This is probably one of the most disappointing sequels I've seen to a comedy, especially considering what a classic the first Graffiti is. It's almost infuriating at points how much it did wrong, and it doesn't make me feel like it was really needed.
But let's go over the upsides at first.

1. The acting. The actors who returned were really good, and some of the newcomers weren't bad. Anna Bjorn as Eva was by far the best new one in the cast. She brought her own unique presence to the movie, even though you have no idea what she's saying most of the movie (which is kind of the point). And I liked her scenes with Paul Le Mat. Cindy Williams, Charles Martin Smith and Ron Howard were the best performers.

2. Terry The Toad. Terry nearly saves this movie. Always down on his luck, he's easy to root for, and even though his storyline is just as depressing as almost all of the other ones in it, he brings some humor with his various attempts to escape and taunting the general.

3. It does have its funny parts. Most of the humourous moments are not laugh-out-funny, if any of them are, but even through all the seriousness they still managed to interject some light comedic glimpses. Toad is mostly the one who made me chuckle, but Cindy Williams still shows some of her comedic talent as well.

And now, for the problems.

1. The story and the tone. Basically, it goes like this. Terry and a lot of other soldiers are fighting in Vietnam, while other people are at home protesting the war, but getting beaten down when they try. Among these people is Laurie's brother Andy. There's also John Milner as a racing car driver, who is starting to slip with his driving. He also gets to hang out with Eva, a foreign exchange student. He can't understand a god-damn word she's saying but starts to like her. Debbie and Lance are living the wild hippie life. Now, I have nothing against a racing car movie if I actually want to watch a racing car movie, but watching car racing by itself a lot of the runtime is not exciting. I care more about the character development, and they spend way too much time showing off the racing.
The overall Vietnam storyline could have worked if they didn't forget the fun tone of the original. But there's not much fun to be had here, it's just depressing. Not even just the war, we see Steve and Laurie fight a lot more this time too, and not as much of them being romantic towards each other. The first movie was realistic, but it wasn't a complete downer. This one however is way too serious. It also tries way too hard to be a gritty anti-war statement. All the protests and the brutal war scenes feel excessively used, and it's almost like watching a war drama instead of you know, a comedy. That's why I didn't laugh or smile that much, it's very difficult to make a comedy about the Vietnam war and yet also realistic at the same time. Which they didn't succeed with.

2. The directing. This is what really brings the movie down. The style in the first movie was nice and simple. Clear wide shots, close-ups when neccessary, and good-looking but not overly flashy. Here we have the director pulling out so many tricks out of the hat it becomes a headache to watch. Seriously, SPLIT SCREEN? It would have been one thing if we followed several characters at the same time (which still would be pointless), but we have it for one character only. It's annoying as hell, and only makes it harder to follow the already shaky camera work.

3. The soundtrack. Just like the directing, it makes the movie harder to follow. The way the music is incorporated into scenes make them tedious to watch, and feels like it's there to show off some great hits rather than fit into the contexts of the scenes. I get that it's the 60's, but putting in 60's songs just because it's the 60's is not enough, you gotta use them in a way that flows smoothly, gives the audience an almost newfound appreciation for them.

4. The use of Debbie. This really annoyed me. Instead of the wonderful chemistry with her and Toad, since Toad is gone on war they come up with a different solution: they give her the blandest and most uncharismatic boyfriend you can think of. There was nothing about their relationship that was believable, and Lance was nothing but a bland, boring jerk. John Lansing was passable enough, but his character was completely uninteresting and weighed it down. They even make Debbie herself less captivating, since they don't play off each other well.

5. The pacing. God, this movie was slooooooooow. Whenever it didn't focus on Toad, this movie moved at a snail's pace. It felt like at least 2 and a half hours, especially when we cut to Debbie and Lance's storyline, or worse, Rainbow and her friends. I thought it was cool Mackenzie Phillips took on two roles this time, playing both her and Carol. But man, their characters were so forgettable I forgot about pretty much all of them as soon as the movie was over.

More American Graffifi is worth watching if you're a really huge fan of Ron Howard and Cindy Williams, and they don't do a too bad of a job developing Toad and John Milner's characters. And even though I mentioned there wasn't as much romantic energy between them, I still cared about Laurie and Steve enough I was glad when they finally reconciled. But in general, it's not a lot to hang in the Christmas tree. Bob Falfa, Carlos and Carol are there if you're wondering, but they are pretty much cameos.

Even though it's been years since I've seen the sequel, I pretty much agree with all your points on the movie, good and bad, mattias. Terry the Toad was my favorite character here, and I loved that Joe (Bo Hopkins), the leader of the Pharaohs from the first film, was there with Terry and Terry irked the officer by admitting that he and Joe were basically cowards and didn't want to fight. Being that Joe was a bit of a bully in the first movie (but not too much of one), I thought it was cool that he was cool with Terry calling him a coward in this. And the fact that they didn't show Terry's final outcome (as hinted at during the closing of the first film) but just Terry walking off through the jungle, his fate unknown. Also, they treated John's fate the same, even though it was spelled-out flatly at the end of the first film. I didn't really want to see these beloved characters die. Agree also about Anna Bjorn. Her character was sweet and boy, was she ever beautiful!

And taking it from the fun, early 60's to the late 60's, well, it just made the movie, like you said, depressing, because they focused too much on depressing things like the war and protests. We get it, the times, they are a'changing, but they could have found comedic or sweet stuff to write about. But I get the feeling they just wanted to be profound here and it mostly didn't work.

Yeah, the split-screen crap was super annoying. I mean, I've never really liked that aspect of filming---unless it's a movie like Woodstock or something. But when it's a straight-up drama, it's nothing but distracting or just drawing your attention to the fact that you're looking at a director's trick. Just MHO.

Getting back to the fact that it's been years since I've seen it, I had no memory of Harrison Ford having a cameo in the movie. I'd say I need to see it again, but, eh, I really don't want to. :( Nice review, by the way, mattias!

Laura (1944) 4,5*
Unique in its genre for sure. I liked Laura because she was different from most women in film noir. She wasn't cunning, deadset on the undoing of all the men around her but it was more the opposite. The dialogues were interesting and the atmosphere was both eery and vibrant so that matched pretty well together. There was not a lot of suspense since a lot of it is explained immediately, but that does not make the film less good.
