Merged: The Movies Thread

I really want to check out Uncut Gems with the Sandman. Heard its really good

[SunnySide]

Funny Games (2007) -- it was okay. I was expecting to be shocked and guilted for watching senseless grotesque violence but it wasnt really shocking at all. Would not recommend. Had the same feel as Invitation.

I'm in the mood for a good space movie, should I watch Interstellar, Sunshine, or Ad Astra

Going to see Star Wars this weekend I think

Took the fam to Star Wars tonight enjoyed it. Thought there were some questions but not going to spoil it by asking. Definitely worth a go even for the casual fan.

Looper - it was good, 8/10. Time travel based movie, the kid actor was really good.

1917 -- really good movie to see in the theaters. Visuals, sound and the cinematography are great.

It feels like the whole movie was just one continuos shot which is weird and cool.

8.5/10

I'm not a movie person but I wanted to see 1917. What a disappointment. I thought it was slow, dragged on, and while it took place on the battle field it lacked actual battle field action. Maybe I was expecting more of a Private Ryan type war movie. After asking around we did take our 13 year old as she is very interested in war history. She also thought the same as me. She did learn the "F" word though. LOL

I thought it was pretty good...the continuous shot was awesome. WWI has been under filmed...it was very interesting.

I thought most the Oscar movies were overrated this year, but Ford vs Ferrari and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were the best. Joker, Irishman good, not great.

I recently saw Harriet and I thought that was really outstanding. Cynthia Erivo...first off, fine as f*ck....is probably my favorite actor as of recent. Harriet she was outstanding...She stole the movie Bad Times at the El Royale....And she is doing the same now in HBO The Outsider. The Outsider is a great series, folks need to tune into this one.

Just watched London Has Fallen on demand this weekend. Pretty damn good straight action movie. Some good dry humor lines too.

[SunnySide]

Star Wars - its alright, i havent really followed the new movies. I watched them.... once .... pretty much didnt know the plot lines but its Star Wars and i was an 80s kid so Im obligated.

Before Star Wars I saw a trailer for a Christopher Nolan movie called Tenet ... looks bad ass. So i just googled the release date ... July 17 2020.

WTF is that about. Seems about 4 months to early to be promoting ... anyway, disappointed its so far back.

edit -- looked into Tenet some more, jesus the budget was 205 Million dollars. Good lord.

Lady Bird -- fuck that movie sucked. Shallow, paint by numbers movie about a high school senior coming of age bit ... which was billed as some great refreshing introspection piece.

[Redskins247]

Anybody seen Doctor Sleep? I've seen mostly good reviews, just don't know anyone who has seen it yet.
