kinuta Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 The Changeling - Peter Medak (1980) Want to see a superb haunted house chiller ? Try this on for size. Excellent in all departments with Peter Medak's direction eerily effective. Don't let the tacky cover fool you. They clearly didn't know how to market this.

kinuta Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) 1987 When The Day Comes - Jang Joon-hwan (2018) Powerful depiction of the events surrounding the 1987 popular uprising against military regime in ROK. Reminded me of Costa Gavas. Recommended. Edited February 17, 2019 by kinuta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Really sad to hear that Albert Finney has died. He was a great actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Destroyer - Karyn Kusama (2018) Nicole Kidman's performance notwithstanding, I found the film rather underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that Nicole Kidman on the cover of that record or is it Rob Lowe? I swear, she looks more or less totally different in every role, not jsut a little different, but a LOT different. I think she might not wholly contain Earth Human in her DNA, so wild is her appearancial variability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 For those who may be interested, Lawrence of Arabia, one of the great films, imho, is on TCM right now, followed by Bridge on the River Kwai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Shoplifters - Hirokazu Kore-eda (2018) Rather than reading my shallow insights, you'll be better off with this incisive summary. https://www.thedailybeast.com/prize-winning-shoplifters-japans-pm-hates-this-movie-because-its-just-too-true?ref=scroll My one comment would be that Sakura Ando should get the Academy Award for best supporting actress. She was astonishingly realistic and believable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmonahan Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Going to see ALL the Oscar-nominated shorts tomorrow. It'll take most of the day, but I'm looking forward to it! gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinuta Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Creed 2 - Steve Caple Jr (2018) Formulaic but entertaining. I like Stallone as the aging Rocky. He's just three weeks older than me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmonahan Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 I got to see all the nominated Shorts at the Living Room Theater here in Portland--Docs, Animated, and Live Action. There are some really amazing pieces there, well worth seeing if you get the chance. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted February 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2019 A "psychological thriller", nothing like the poster. Almost great, but not quite really good, hate it when that happens, but still, certainly worth looking at at least once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it also, it's one of those films that the actors have to be convincing in their roles, playing their parts unironically, having real sincerity. I also thought the two pairs were very good: Rolf Lassgard & Bahar Pars, Ida Engvoll & Filip Berg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
