  • Re: Movie Thread #50: Godzilla gives us permission to nuke our enemies

    Tarantino Once Upon a Time. A+ as usual. Only going to get better with repeated viewings. Really fun and clever, but like all his movies also a lot more which I've just scratched the surface of so far.

      They both have issues because of who they partnered with (there is no truly independent doc) but you can easily watch both and decide for yourselves. Either way, Billy and co come off as absolute trash who deserve to spend many years in a federal pound-me-in-the-*** prison.

          Yes I agree. What a scam.

            Disney has set the record for most money grossed at the theater. And it's only July. Lion King just opened. And Frozen II and Star Wars IX are still to come.

                    Interesting from Wiki:

                    The Irishman is an upcoming American biographical crime film directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Steven Zaillian, based on the book I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt. The film stars Robert De Niro as Frank Sheeran, a labor union leader and alleged hitman for the Bufalino crime family, and Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa. Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel, Anna Paquin, Bobby Cannavale, and Ray Romano also star. It is the ninth feature collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese and their first since 1995's Casino, the fourth film to star both De Niro and Pacino (following The Godfather Part II, Heat, and Righteous Kill), and the first time Pacino has been directed by Scorsese.

                      Pretty surprising that Scorsese hadn’t worked with Pacino before.

                      I can’t Recommend the book this is based on enough. When Sheeran talks the air of authenticity is incredible. It’s like Henry Hill’s Wiseguys but better because Sheeran was higher up due to his friendship with mob boss Russell buffalino.

                        That stood out to me as well, but also that it had been nearly 25 years since Scorsese worked with DeNiro.

                          Searching:

                          Daughter goes missing, dad figures out to use her computer for clues to her disappearance, while working with police.

                          A bit Lifetime-y at the end, but that's no matter. The entire movie is told through the eyes of modern devices: laptops, smartphones, CCTV, hidden cameras, all that. There is no "true" live-action. I thought that aspect was very well done, and very creative. Worth a watch just for that aspect.

                              I reviewed it positively but I fear Hollywood will take the wrong message from the positive buzz surrounding the film (92% critics/88% audience) and green light a bunch of movies that reproduce the gimmick. The movie was a success because it had a good story performed by a good cast and happened to have the gimmick of the entire narrative being told by webcams, CCTV, news footage etc. It was not a success because of the gimmick. Hopefully Hollywood learns the correct lesson...
