I don't know of anyone that could have played Francis Ouimet like he did.

Watched this tonight. Solid movie. Didn't realize it was a silent movie (for the most part; background dialogue in there, etc). Would recommend.

yep. Stayed all the way to the end to see if they had any end credit scene. Nothing there, just the one mid credit one.
I really wanted some schwarma.

Was the mid-credit scene at least as interesting as the usual teaser-type ones are?

Interesting? Not sure that's the word. It teased something that I already knew so it wasn't that big a deal to me that I saw it.

Re: Movie Thread: New, Rental, Streaming
Yeah, everybody knows that "HE" is coming as he's been teased at the end of about all of the MCU movies. If nothing more, maybe have Pepper Potts and Jane Foster meeting for lunch or something right at the very end.

While We're Young
Mixed feelings on this one. I wanted to like it, but it fell flat at times. The send-up of twenty-something urban hipsterdom was good for a couple laughs.

Re: Movie Thread: New, Rental, Streaming
Peacock:
Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Bill Pullman. About a guy who has quite the disturbing secret, which starts to come to light after a train crash in his back yard. This movie is 20 different ways of f*ed up. Cillian is EXCELLENT in his role. Highly recommend for something that is wayyyyyyyyyyy out there for subject matter.

Re: Movie Thread: New, Rental, Streaming
Yes, yes it was.
Three Kings:
I have no idea what this movie was trying to be. It was action one minute, political the next, and comedy the next. Too disjointed for my liking. It had its moments, but meh overall.

As I watched, I thought: Alex Forest (Glenn Close) hasn't got anything on Amy Elliott Dunne (Rosamund Pike).

Should have won best picture. Best Hitchcock film that's been made since the old man died.

Have not seen it yet, but I'll be impressed if it beats the current holder of the Hitchcock Belt, Mulholland Drive.

Hmmmmmm......Mulholland Drive is fantastic. I think I liked Gone Girl a little bit more though. Not by much.

I've gotten the best positive review for GG I could ask for; Dr. Mrs. Kepler liked it. I'll see it eventually.

Re: Movie Thread: New, Rental, Streaming
I didn't like MD (loved GG), but MD is not usually my style of movie to begin with, so take it for what it's worth.
Foxcatcher:
Didn't hold my interest whatsoever. The actors did not do well enough for such a plodding story. Too monotone, too bland, too boring.
