Rate The Last Movie You Saw

A movie in 3 parts, each about 2 hours long. A bit of a slog, to say the least, and quite a lot lost in translation. But I persevered & quite enjoyed parts 1 & 2. Will watch part 3 later this week.

Unlocked (2017) - 6/10

Good Time

I just saw this in theaters, and it was brilliant. I was interested because it was a cannes selection and the trailer looked decent, but it vastly surpassed my expectations. The plot was so unpredictable. The way they delivered the opening credits was unlike anything I've seen before, dispersed through the first act. Some movies have an opening scene and then credits, but this kept dispersing them gracefully over multiple scenes. I never knew where the plot would take me next. I never expected how a single scene would unfold. It was a very intelligent and creative film. There were a few camera shots that perplexed me. How did they film the car driving from a helicopter view for so long? Did they rent a helicopter? But the shot started lower, went up high, and followed the car a while. I don't know how they filmed it. Overall it was a great movie, extremely realistic, emotional, and beautiful. The music sometimes reminded me of The Neon Demon.

It Comes at Night 6/10


The Invitation 7/10

I havent heard of the invitation. Will check it out.

Todo sobre mi madre [All About My Mother] (Pedro Almodóvar, 1999)
All about the acting, writing and direction

I agree. This is a very fine film-- my favorite of '16. IMO Jeff Bridges should have won the Oscar (as if they ever make any sense). But the film wasn't P.C. enough...

Ah, it wasn't that good and neither was he.

I couldn't find this title. Is there perhaps another name? What year was it made? Thanks.

~Doc

It's called Good Time and it came out this year.

Viceroy's House

Lord Louis Mountbatten was given the unenviable position of being the final viceroy of India under British Colonial rule, interesting from a historical standpoint with many real life figures including Gandhi, a sub plot of a Sikh/Muslim romance I felt was a bit watery and added on, Gillian Anderson is good as Battens tireless wife who want's India to remain one nation.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind -

I can't believe Steven Spielberg invented the orange-and-teal colour palette.

Yeah sorry, it was just called Good Time.

Shadow of the Vampire (2000)

Wind River (2017)

The Lion King (1994)

IT. A bunch of kids in the late 80s come to the terrifying realisation that their small town plays home to a demonic entity that feeds on children in part one of an intended 2-part adaptation of the Stephen King horror bestseller. IT has been filmed before, of course, as a TV mini-series back in 1990 (27 years ago, rather deliciously the same length of time in which IT hibernates between each killing spree). What worked then were the kid cast and Tim Curry as the Pennywise the Clown manifestation of IT; what didn't work as well were the adult cast playing the older version of the kids and the general execution, which was was often a bit TV Movie lame. The good news is the new kids and the new Pennywise live up to their predecessors, while the film leaves out the adult aspect entirely (presumably for the second film) and the execution is undeniably just all round better, classier, and scarier. The late 80s setting and vibe is also very nice. All in all the new IT is a more than worthy effort and a very entertaining horror flick.

Thanks for your kind comments, Movie Meditation and GulfportDoc. I appreciate it and was truly enthralled by the movie the whole way. Might be a DVD buy for me. I'm appreciating Ben Foster more and more, and it seems like his movies are popping up on cable all the time lately, even his early ones. Thanks again!

Dana Gillespie's boobs were the most interesting thing about this film.

Still fun, in a cheesy kind of way.
