Dammit, on Father's Day for Jaws. Probably not cool to see a movie by myself that day.

Your mother's #### stinks like carpet cleaner.Barfly was my college version of Caddyshack- watched it over and over with friends and quoted the #### out of it. Still love it.I've been saying that for so many years.rockaction said:The Hustler really is a great movie, and it's not just great because it's part of the canon or something one should like. It's great because it's empathic, tragic, brilliant and eminently watchable, even today.it's such a terrific film. Newman does some of his best work in it. the cast is really strong across the board with terrific character actors in it. finally, i'll say that it has a lot to say about winning, competing and how it can consume people.fantastic
I don't think I've ever seen it- definitely looks like I should.
and it makes me realize that one of my favorite smaller movies, Barfly, essentially ripped it off, or at least riffed it off.
eta* And I'd also like to see Barfly, which many of my friends recommend.
and when your momma's crying at the funeral, I"m gonna goose her with a turkey neck... yeah.

Is it that bad? Looks like a good summer action flick, but then that's what the previews are supposed to do.
So anyone seen this movie and if so how was it?

I did (don't ask) and I'd give it a meh. I am very forgiving on these type of films (generally speaking) and this one was kind of forgettable. Some creative and fun destruction visuals but nothing really interesting happened. The good thing is it wasn't heavy handed with any sort of message like Day After Tomorrow, the bad news is the despite that it wasn't really any better than Day After Tomorrow.

Spy 8/10
I think other people in the theater enjoyed the physical comedy much more that me or my wife. There were some laugh out loud moments where I was wondering WTF, which I usually in line with the audience. I don't watch Mike and Molly so maybe I missed something. Having a big name actor in a certain role pretty much gives up the plot. Long comedy too, over two hours but it didn't seem like it. Some very funny parts. I would recommend seeing it.

What We Do In Shadows - I am in the camp that thinks the mockumentary thing has been overdone but gosh darn it this film absolutely nails it. The comedy style is in a similar vein as Flight of the Conchords (written and directed by Jemaine Clement) so if that isn't your thing well you probably have no soul for comedy. This is one of the most consistently humorous films I have seen in years. Definitely recommend.

Ex Machina
I didn't have super high expectations for this movie going in, but I think I just watched a great movie. Excellent, smart script, good actors that I haven't watched a million times in other movies, and some great camera work. Ex Machina owes plenty to Blade Runner, but that's not a bad thing. Fantastic.

I'm not interested in starting a new thread, so I'm punching this in here.
"Comedians Getting Coffee in Cars" Jerry Seinfeld's project.
Each episode runs between 8-20 minutes. It's a fun and entertaining concept.
http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/
Anyone ever seen this? I had heard of it and saw parts of one a year ago and thought "meh".
Then I saw something online recently that got me to try it again, and glad I did.
I just streamed through the first two seasons - granted there are some parts of each episode that are a bit sluggish, but for the most part I enjoyed them all. (except the Michael Richards episode which to me was somewhat depressing).
Season 1:
Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks, Bob Einstein and Larry David episodes were good.
The Alec Baldwin episode was pretty funny.
Season 2:
They're all really good.
Seasons 3-5 yet to watch.

Anyone want a code for a UV copy of Apollo 13?
I bought the 20th anniversary Blu Ray (awesome BTW) and it came with one but I already have it on digital. PM me if you want it.
On a different note, they released a new edition of T2 (for about the eleventieth time) and it's definitely the best it's looked.

The action picked up but it remained right in the 6 or 6.5 out of 10 range. Good, soaked up 2 nights worth of TV watching while the wife was out. Won't ever watch again though.

mentioned elsewhere that he married a girl I went to HS with (and had a decent-sized crush on).
love his standup- and really like a bunch of his movies... Lost In America at the top (Mother takes place in my home town, so I have a soft spot for that one too).

Saw The Immigrant.
Marion Cotillard starred as polish immigrant who arrives in US with her sister in 1921 and hardships/corruption she encounters. Joaquin Phoenix and Jeremy Renner also star. Pretty good. Cotillard seems to be good in every movie.

The Stranger - 7.5/10
Apparently this is Orson Welles' least favorite of his movies. Well, his other movies must be really, really good because this one was very good.
Trivia: This was the first American movie to feature concentration camp footage.
Edward G Robinson is becoming one of my favorite actors.

Soooo... is this an all-encompassing movie thread? Or just "rentals"? I've seen some stuff reviewed that's still in theaters. Not b*tchin', just curious... cuz I watched The Rite on HBO or Starz last night and it was pretty entertaining. 7/10
Anthony Hopkins as an exorcist training a skeptical priest-in-training, and Hopkins, after losing one of his "patients"...

This morphed into an all emcompassing thread long before the old one got purged in the last update, it's all good.
People mention good TV shows in here too that they might have just started up.

I have fallen behind on my postings in here, but I really liked this one too. After Citizen Kane, I watched The Trial, The Stranger, and The Lady from Shanghai. I would put them in that order of what I liked the most to the least.

My 8 year old son is really into history and learning about the leaders of civilizations, so we watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. He said that it might be the best movie ever made.

I posted this in the Jurassic World thread, but we talk about the "look" of movies in here and thought this was a good read.

Almost all the way through The Equalizer and finally, something good to report.
Denzel is just awesome in pretty much anything he does, huh?
Antoine Fuqua is a kickass director. Great movie. Need to finish the last half hour but it's a solid 8/10 for me.
