kinuta Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Stan & Ollie - John S Baird (2018) Beautiful. It's hard to imagine a finer tribute. Triple Border - JC Chandor (2019) Implausible heist yarn. The idiocy of the so called elite team beggars belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duaneiac Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 This is about the only worthwhile thing to be found in this film, so you can spare yourself an hour and a half of bad acting, choppy editing, hack dialogue and all-over-the-place dircecting: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinuta Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Peterloo - Mike Leigh (2018) Events leading up the the murderous repression of a meeting to demand voting rights. Big scale production with a huge, impressive cast. Lots and lots of talking and then even more talking sets the stage for the final massacre. Mike Leigh proves he can work on a big canvas just as well as he does with his small domestic dramas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how many people she hoodwinked. After watching the film I wondered why the poster had a question mark after the word fraud. There's no doubt in my mind that she was one, big time. She certainly has the gift of the gab, conning a whole string of heavyweight characters and countless consumers. Coming from outside the US and only having scant knowledge of her story made it all the more gobsmacking. The financial fraud is bad enough but peddling highly dubious and inaccurate medical data is a different level of callousness. Last night - Teddy Pendergrass: If You Don't Know Me - Olivia Lichtenstein (2018) Always loved his voice and appreciated the documentary, even though it might have delved deeper into one or two crucial happenings.

kinuta Posted March 23, 2019 Report Share Posted March 23, 2019 Dragged Across Concrete - S. Craig Zahler (2018) Sub par Tarantinoesque, bad taste in the mouth dumb cop frolic.

porcy62 Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Never saw it before, with soundtrack of John Lewis, quite a solid noir movie. Not surprisingly the liberal Robert Ryan, with his grim face, played a racist villain, he spent some time after the realease to discuss with press "the problems of an actor like me playing the kind of character that in real life he finds totally despicable."

Brad Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 There’s a new film streaming service called Ovid.tv Here's an article in the New Yorker about it. Ovid Film Service According to the article, “OVID.tv does not offer the entire catalogue of each participating company, but it’s nonetheless a cornucopia of international movies and documentaries, short- and medium-length films and features, recent ones as well as classics. It’s far better for recent movies than FilmStruck ever was, and its spectrum of new movies is far more substantial than that of Netflix, wider-ranging than that of Amazon Prime.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
