Where did you see this movie? Is it in theaters or did you watch on Netflix or somewhere else?

Thirty years ago this past May I actually had lunch in Geiranger, before taking the ferry boat ride down the fjord. Pictures don't do it justice.

Netflix.

All The Way

Cranston as LBJ, after JFK gets shot.

Tremendous movie. Cranston is almost unrecognizable in physicality and mannerisms. Outstanding job. Langella of course is also great. Good mix of real footage into the movie, too. Highly recommend.

Yeah that was a great movie! Cranston was pitch perfect :)

The Girl on the Train.

There is something wrong with this movie but I can't figure out what it is. It feels like it could have been truly great -- something with both a strange, difficult plot and wonderfully immersive characters. And it has scenes where that's true.

I think the problem is the narrative style is so episodic you feel like you're dragged from a character just as you're about to make a connection.

Anyway, the way it's shot, even to a layman, is outstanding; the director (Tate Taylor) knew what he was doing. There are dozens of tiny little touches that feel right ("feel" as distinct from "see" -- this film tries to be intimate and does not do it lazily; nothing is more lethal in a movie that false intimacy).

I'll be interested in what anybody else who sees it has to say, but given its nature please do not spoil it for people who are waiting to Netflix it.

B+, but it has great aspirations, and occasionally meets them.

(Edit: I was shocked by the low Rotten Tomatoes score -- currently 43%. Don't be scared off by that. It looks like the critics are butthurt about the movie as an oversimplified version of the source material book, which granted I have not read.)

New rogue one trailer is out...this movie appears to be a dramatic shift in tone from all the others. I hope it's not overly serious

The android will provide comic relief, but I expect it won't be overt like (ew!)Jar-Jar or even C3PO, R2 or BB-8 levels. It's likely to be a bit more like Han and Chewie playing off each other in the Original Trilogy than in The Force Awakens. The tone does look a bit darker in this trailer, as if it's the middle act in a three-act play of an epic tale (real use of the word epic, not Millennial use).

The trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9abcLLQpI

I hope it is serious in tone...I doubt it will be though. Personally I thought the first trailer was better this one has me real "meh" on the movie.

Agreed. I had higher hopes this trailer would have me excited for the movie but it has me thinking "ok, I'll see it once" unlike the TFA trailers which had me wanting to go to a midnight screening and see it multiple times

I think I am in on Filmstruck.

Definitely getting a sub for my in-laws. They love old movies.
 
Re: Batman Vs Superman, And Oh Yeah, Suicide Squad: Movies Thread

I saw The Accountant...I really really liked it. It is different and at times feels like it is two movies mashed together but the cast is great and the action is sweet and overall the story makes a lot of sense. (the storytelling is a bit nonlinear so you get kinda confused) I would say 4/5 stars and will probably see it again.
 
Re: Batman Vs Superman, And Oh Yeah, Suicide Squad: Movies Thread

Did a re-watch of John Wick/Deadpool.

Both are so off-the-wall great in different ways. Highly recommend them both, if you somehow haven't seem them (the former is more likely to have been missed).

Inside Job:

Documentary on the financial collapse in the banking industry. Made me want to simultaneously vomit and thank my lucky stars I was not affected. Neutral in the political sense, basically ripped both Dems and Repubs equally in allowing this to happen/continuing to allow this to happen.

Anecdotal: just before the housing collapse, I was seeing houses in Robbinsdale (for the non-locals, an inner ring suburb that is not rich at all) that were slightly bigger than a 2 BR apt going for $200K-$225K, and even I knew that THAT was not right. Pure bullsh*. The collapse was gonna happen. If a moron like me could see that.....
