Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

I liked it quite a bit when I first watched it, but I'm curious how well it would hold up with a rewatch. Out of curiosity, do you plan to check out Spielberg's remake?

I think there's definitely a contrast between the way Johannson's character killed her victims and how the man in the woods killed her. Both of them kill someone from the opposite gender, with...

Out of curiosity, what's your take on the ending as that's the only weak point of the film for me, though you may have another interpretation for it.

I get that the point of it was to show that...

Yeah, it's definitely a masterpiece and among my favorite films of all time. Everything about it - the story, the characters, the dialogue, the ending - all work phenomenally. I think you recommended...

Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

Great documentary.

I've seen some discussion on whether this film is a real documentary or if it's actually a mockumentary, but whether the events in the doc are genuine or not isn't of much...

Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

Fully agree with your review. It has a strong story and some tense moments (the climactic shootout is excellent, in particular), but it's weakened by Olsen's bland character and the attempts to turn...

I haven't seen that one yet, so I can't speak to its quality. I've only seen the three I included in the quote. I'll probably get to it eventually though. Takoma is another big fan of it, I believe.

Oh, come on, now. Do you really think that Kubrick refusing to hold your hand and allowing for you to find the answers yourself is somehow better than all that clunky exposition in Interstellar?

Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

I watched that one earlier this year and it's one of my all-time favorites. Glad you also liked it!

As for Kelly's character, I think the title song does a lot of the legwork in making the dynamic...

Re: Thief's Monthly Movie Loot - 2021 Edition

I love The Abyss. It's probably my favorite film from 1989 and also my favorite Cameron film (the director's cut is the better version though).

EDIT: Do the Right Thing is actually my favorite...
