Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Well that doc was specifically about Jim playing Kauffman (its called Jim & Andy :lol: ) not some autobiographical Jim Carrey piece.

No I know, I was just reflecting on how even though it was specifically about Kaufman........I found MYSELF more interested in everything but that side of things. Not a knock on the doc, just watching it made me want a Jim Biopic lol
 
The Edge of Seventeen

5 / 8

Steinfeld pissed me off with that annoying, bratty, naive character (which makes her a good actress).
The pacing was great.
Krista was cute -- acted like a good gf.
Her brother showed his true colors at the appropriate time -- the bottled up emotions are real.
The Asian dude should've gotten the W.

Murder on the Orient Express 3/8 - Performances were super dry and uninteresting. Depp is just a name to draw people in and adds almost nothing to films these days.

Coco 7.5/8 - Really enjoyed the visuals and the plot. Laughed a lot at all of the jokes. The "short" was way too long but that's not a knock on Coco at all.
 
Really nothing wrong with a movie being about nothing.

I tend to dislike that notion in general.
Patterson, I just recently saw has Kylo Ren as a bus driver and its goes on about nothing. it was relaxing.

napoleon dynamite also comes to mind for me lol
 
So.......the Avengers trailer. :wow: :pimp:

I'm not even sure it's straight in my head that within a 6 month period, I will have seen Thor 3, Justice League, Star Wars 8, Black Panther, Avengers 3, and Han Solo spinoff.

 
Do we get the Han Solo teaser in front of TLJ? . . . :nerd:

I don't know if I could handle that. We know we gettin Avengers on the big screen as a trailer, I'm pretty sure Black Panther will be another, I don't know if I could handle the Solo preview AND THEN the actual movie to follow. I'd be having to call my doctor after 4 hours man. :lol
 
Alias Grace

7.5/8
Would give an 8 if the ending wasn't so, not as good as the beginning and middle.
It wasn't a bad ending, but....show is the goods.
Really well done.
Some beautiful shots throughout.
 
Murder on the Orient Express 4.8/8

I was engaged enough. Its not that boring of a movie. The story is interesting enough. The acting is good. Its firmly set in its time period and I enjoyed the score. It also had a few charming funny bits throughout the movie.

The problem for me is the mystery was interesting until dude solved it. And it is one of the most ridiculous conclusions for a whodunit plot. Pretty insulting. Specifically how the murder was carried out. Not to mention the magnitude for how all of it was arranged to be carried out on that train.

Dude just starts pulling facts and back stories out of nowhere for these suspects. Its not based on deduction or induction. Just pure plot induced stupidity.

Sherlock and Columbo are rolling over in their graves.

columbo was that dude. playing the bumbling fool until the last scene where he says something like ....but there’s just one thing that’s been bothering me...and then proceeds to drop bombs :lol

i downloaded all 5 seasons of fringe and i’m going to try and rewatch all 100 episodes at my leisure. perhaps one day i’ll give GoT and honest try.
 
this lady one like one i’d enjoy


I'm looking forward to seeing del Toro's newest flick. There are no directors doing more creative & interesting work that del Toro or his compatriots Alfonso Cuaron & Inarritu. They might be just as good as this trio, but not better.
 
Another thing about Murder on the Orient Express regarding Depp and his movies being bad, not to spoil much this is a Matthew McConaughey in Wolf of Wall St. situation.

Better yet, this is Depp in Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them participation.
