kinuta Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 The Year Of Living Dangerously - Peter Weir (1982) Quote
kinuta Posted July 8, 2017 Report Posted July 8, 2017 The Last Days Of Disco - Whit Stillman (1998) Droning gab-athon about who knows what. Sheer obstinacy stopped me from hitting the stop button. The only redeeming point was the appearance of Kate Beckinsale & Chloe Sevigny who appeared many years later in the same director's vastly superior little gem Love & Friendship. Quote
kinuta Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 Big Night - Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci (1996) Quote
GA Russell Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 I enjoyed Big Night in the theatre very much. Hard to believe that it's been twenty years. Quote
duaneiac Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 The MST3K version. A strong contender for the title of "Worst Movie Ever Made". Quote

kinuta Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Alone In Berlin - Vincent Perez (2016) Two leads excellent. Convincing recreation of wartime Berlin. Compliments the Ian Kershaw book I'm engrossed in. Quote

kinuta Posted July 11, 2017 Report Posted July 11, 2017 Five Easy Pieces - Bob Rafelson (1970) One of the greats. I never tire of this film. Quote
duaneiac Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Early on, while watching this movie, a quiet voice deep within me began urging, "get out now". I wish I had listened to that voice. This movie is a total waste of time. Not just the viewer's time, but also a waste of time (as well as talent, energy and resources) for the starring actors and the filmmakers. There was nothing at all likable about this movie. Edited July 12, 2017 by duaneiac Quote

It would have to unseat "Tree of Life". Good god, a clinical exposition of mass Academy delusion. "Bug". Genius. The raw pathos of human desperation and madness in a sublime mix of brilliantly paced, gut wrenching suspense. To quote Letterman, when he was worth quoting: "The paramters are askew." In some small way, the world would be a better place with more like this. Did anyone here see Shannon live while the stage play was touring? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqdKv0Vz0sU Edited July 12, 2017 by Kate Quote
GA Russell Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) Duane, in 2014 or 2015, oldies.com had the DVD of Yucca Flats for 99 cents. I bought it and a number of other '50s horror pictures for the kids at my church for Christmas. PS - Another one was a Richard Boone vehicle called I Bury the Living!

kinuta Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 A Quiet Passion - Terence Davis (2016) Cynthia Nixon gives a stellar performance as Emily Dickinson. Very impressed by the whole film. It has all the usual trademarks of a Davis film plus truly witty and sparkling dialogue, especially in the earlier parts. The ghost of Bergman hangs over the film more heavily as it progresses. This might be his finest all round film and certainly one of the best of the year. Quote
kinuta Posted July 13, 2017 Report Posted July 13, 2017 Five Came Back HBO Superb three part documentary. Recommended. Quote
kinuta Posted July 14, 2017 Report Posted July 14, 2017 Neruda - Pablo Larrain (2016) Narrative driven but as poetic, unpredictable and unconventional as it's subject. Very interesting and well made account of political persecution in Chile just after WW2. If you like his other films you'll like this one too. Seems he made it at the same time as he was doing Jackie. Quote

kinuta Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Norman - Joseph Cedar (2016) Very good. Richard Gere is great. Quote
kinuta Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 The Levelling - Hope Dickson Leach (2016) Emmerdale Farm meets Through A Glass Darkly. Dark and grim drama, beautifully made and acted . Quote
kinuta Posted July 17, 2017 Report Posted July 17, 2017 To The Bone - Marti Noxon (2017) Don't know much about the subject but it felt real and connected dramatically and visually. I thought it was very good. Quote
