The Jungle Book (2016) -

If this is what I can expect from all these other live-action Disney remakes, I think I can probably do without them.

I love naked girls but...in Boardwalk Empire after they show me a guy masturbating while a prostiture is hanging he and he goes out shoot some mother******s with his penis visible I was like.... Dude, this is really idiot! I drop out the series. It was so... stupid. I don't know, I can't express myself very well about what I fell in this HBO scenes. They show just for show. It's not sexy, it's not nice, it's fell stupid. I prefer my porn movies.

Moulin Rouge(2001)



I haven't watched many musicals, but this one was pretty good. The acting and cinematography was purposely sort of over the top, and the actors did fit their roles well and made it both funny and dramatic. The singing was beautiful, especially by Ewan McGregor, who by far delivered the best acting in this movie.

Overall a decent 7 out of 10!

Executive Decision is pretty dope, but kind of a miscast for Kurt. @Iroquois

The Tree of Life [2011, Terrence Malick]


Unlike A New World, which really bored me to death despite its beautiful visuals, this film kept me glued to the screen throughout. Flaws notwithstanding (I could do without the pseudo-poetic voice-over narration), I really think it's a great film. Yes, it mainly relies on visuals (and they are truly breathtaking) to carry its point across but it's not without its substance, either. Obviously it's a very polarizing film, and, while one category of viewers will harp away at how the film plumbs the depths of profound wisdom and spirituality, others will claim watching the paint dry is actually more entertaining. I do understand where the criticism comes from, and frankly, given my experience with A New World, I was almost expecting it to suck. It didn't.

A great film, indeed.

Duly noted.

Kill the Messenger -

Pretty tedious.

The Lobster Been wanting to see this since reading a number of reviews (I do believe Iro's was the first) and finally got my chance. It is a stark and unflinching portrayal of the characters' loneliness, awkwardness and how so little remains of their emotions with a constant splash of dark humor that keeps things from getting too dour. Not to mention quite a few "Wha th' f@ck?" moments from the very opening to the final scene.
Strange, but very good movie.

Oh, and a very direct warning to Omni - if you're reading this -

EVER!!

Trust me.




The Suspect (1944) + I had nominated this for the 40's HOF without actually seeing it - just had a hunch and it paid off quite nicely. I'll write up a more detailed review for the HOF at some point - may even rewatch before writing it, but I will say, being a huge fan of Charles Laughton, I have added this one to so many of his that I love.

Atlantis: The Lost Empire -

Actually enjoyed this way more than I expected to.

Mary Poppins

Charming and way ahead of its time. Julie Andrews might be proof that there's a God out there. Dick Van Dyke is proof that there's no such thing as a performance that's too hammy.

I think you might be new to this board, so I wanted you to know that this is my # 1 favorite movie of all time and I'm so thrilled to see someone liked it as much as I do.

Lucas has actually been here longer than you.

haha, i didn't know this. Think it was just us two that did it.

Arrival - 9/10. Just stunning. Beautiful. Heartfelt. Intelligent. Puzzling. Thoughtful. Genius.

The film of 2016.
