Yeh no not happening, dad. Looks absolutely dreadful. Thanks for posting but I'll give it a pass. Millennials can keep that idiocracy crap.
It's sad how people can advertise themselves and get famous with "The Worst Movie Ever Made"... I'm ashamed of watching that POS, but I've seen a few worse.




Wonder Woman (2017)

Baywatch (2017)

47 Meters Down (2017)

The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)

The Mummy (2017)

Mr D refused to watch it with me and I wasnt feeling the love I had for the other 2 Berg movies with Mark so I dropped it 30 minutes in. Will finish a bit later. Spectacular explosions though. Downright frightening.



Benny & Joon (1993)

Quirky romantic comedy starring Johnny Depp. Definitely pleasant enough watch, though it's not exactly my type of film.




Trouble with a capitial 'T'

Angel Face (1953)


My full review

A rather obscure noir, at least I had never heard much about it. It has an A list cast including director Otto Preminger who also directed Laura (1944).

Jean-Luc Godard in 1963, named it the 8th best American Sound film.

Myself, I thought it was middle of the road with uninspired acting and a pot boiler script that was hard to swallow at times. Though the court room scene with the sleazy lawyer, was pretty nifty.

I might check this out... I don't care what Godard thinks, but I like Mitchum.



Say hello to my little friend!
Cinema Paradiso 8.5/10


A really great foreign movie. Cinema Paradiso is a 1988 Italian drama film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore.

Yeah, well I thought since you hate The Room you'd appreciate a movie where the original film gets a proper drubbing. But obviously not. As for the "Millennials can keep that idiocracy crap" comment, I have no idea what you're talking about. Sorry for wasting your time.

Dear sweet baby cheesus. It wasnt directed at you.



Four Friends (1981)

-


I found this movie because it was an answer in the movie questions thread. After looking it up, I decided it was worth a try due to a 4/4 rating from Ebert and having Arthur Penn as the director. This was not one of Penn's best but I did enjoy it. It's about four friends at the end of high school, 3 guys and the kooky girl they all love, and the direction their lives go in from then on. The cast could have been better. Craig Wasson was the only actor I knew, and I only know him as the dude from Body Double. Still, the characters were pretty bland and I don't know if a better cast could have improved things that dramatically, and this needed exceptional characters/performances in order to be an exceptional movie. The soundtrack is also pretty lame for something set from the 60's to the 70's. That doesn't mean to say I wasn't interested throughout, and it does have it's moments. My wife enjoyed it about the same as I did.




The Last Wave (1977, Peter Weir)


One of my all-time favorites. I hope Criterion will release it on Blu one of these days.

The International (2009)

Sadly, a bit less than the sum of its parts. I rate Tom Tykwer as a director and Clive Owen does a good job but there's something missing on the script level. A thriller without the requisite thrill.
