Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

Paths of Glory now on MGM. One of my favorite movies.

The French High Command is portrayed as on big PoS.

Trivia - the future Mrs. Stanley Kubrick was the cabaret singer in the last scenes.

About Scout:

When her carnie dad takes her sister with him, a teen teams up with an unstable man to find her and take her home.

Messed up family in a messed up situation. It's a heartfelt movie, dealing with hope and friendship and love. It's done fairly well, you can sympathize with the characters. I can understand if a viewer thinks it's a little Hallmark-y, because it is, but they definitely don't overdo it at all. I'd give it a go.

I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore:

A timid nurse and her neighbor go after the people who broke into her home.

This movie was all over the place. It's part "God Bless America," part "Big Lebowski," and part "crime drama." It was good, but could have been SO much better if it focused on one aspect of the previously mentioned styles.


Brave:

Yes, the Disney movie. Outstanding movie. The story was great: princess angers 3 elders, and gets an ill-fated wish granted, and has to correct everything. The animation was spectacular. At times, you even forget it's animated. Highly recommend.

Zero Dark Thirty

I don't know how this won best picture. Maybe I need to see it again. The final scenes were well done. But there must have been a lot I missed.

It was the general subject matter. It was a decent movie, but agree it wasn't best pic, IMO.
 
Robin Hood: Men in Tights

This was my first Mel Brooks movie. Has its moments, but not as funny as Spaceballs or Blazing Saddles.

Good God.....that movie did NOT age well at all. It's borderline horrid at this point, relatively.

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are timeless.

Maybe I'm still comparing it to YF and BS. And that's my fault. I still laugh at it, but it's not one of the stronger movies of his, over time.
 
Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

I'll concede that the best Spaceballs jokes require viewing of the original Star Wars trilogy first. However, anyone who hasn't seen that is either a sci-fi anti-nerd like bb_dl, or has lived under a rock for their entire life.

Agreed.

Wow. Manchester by the Sea is cleaning up as much as La La Land. I'm a little shocked. Maybe not so much when even Kepler relented on a movie about Boston. :p
 
Re: MOVIES: New Ideas Welcome!

Also, someone tell Casey Affleck to take a dam bath. Is this really how you wanted to look for your first Oscar? Yeesh.

Manchester was great and la la land was a flaming pile of garbage.
