3 of my great loves in Lola, Laundrette & The Verdict (watched that last nite too, soooo love the creaking oakiness of everything about it, esp Newman's performance), as well as a movie that was so important to me (Sex, Lies & Videotape) emotionally that i'm afraid to watch it again. Not to mention old chestnuts like Sunshine Boys (oh, the timing!) and Deep Cover (oh, the overness!). a month well spent - you must weigh in on the Ricardos & 355. will def check Munich. i suppose you need the Peacock+ to see Vigil?
Watched this over the weekend. Even though I liked it I was expecting more because of the great reviews. The last 30 minutes is the best part and they could easily have cut 20-30 minutes from the beginning sections. Other than the final duel the thing that stuck with me the most was the scene in court where the one guy says-" it's scientifically impossible to get pregnant from a rape".Tried to watch The Last Duel last night and didn't make it through. One of the most boring movies I've every seen. Reviews are good so maybe it's just me, or my state of mind.
May, or may not decide to finish it at some point
Very curious how the first two held up...I loved them at the time, but have a sense theyi mght feel dated.
I didn't get more than 20min into it the other night. Just wasn't feeling it that night.
I was going to tell you to find a Family Video or something, but I just saw they all closed last year too.SWC said:
Good, but not to the level it was in my mind good? It feels like I am running into this sentiment more often than not in the 90s, but that it's a good exercise to go through.
The Rock is so ludicrous but I still like it.Followed it up with starting The Rock, and I will finish that today. Mixed feelings here too - Cage trying his best to ruin this movie too.
I think I've seen Con Air once, but I have the vague feeling it's like Face/Off in that it know it's ridiculous too. My battle with something like The Rock is that the plot has some serious ####, it looks like Harris and Connery have dialed into a serious movie...... then you have Cage running around Caging it up.
It's still fun as hell, it's just a weird mix in here.
Yeah, I know. Talking about stuff more like Harris' motivations and the dead soldiers, not the super deadly green gas and the Hummer chase through SF.
And possibly the toughest field ever for a Best Actor Oscar:
lol... Harris will bring gravitas with him wherever he goes... including to this farting preacher clip. Connery clearly got the message about what this movie was- "welcome to the rock" may be one of my favorite line deliveries of all time.
Probably over thinking as I usually do, I just find the contrast amusing at the start of the movie b/t Harris and then our Nic intro in the lab.
great year- wow.
I assume there will be a lot of one-liners, implausible jumping and explosions in the fight.
I don't know. The Shape of Water was one of my least favorite movie watches in the last several years.
He one of a few directors that I find to be hit or miss overall, but love the imagination and visuals he puts on screen, so I will always at least give his movies a go.
. I am obsessed with this. What building were they in?? 
Nicholson's astronaut in Terms of Endearment won Supporting that year. Swannie woulda Zoroed Jack nekkid in that cat.
Lou Gossett Jr won for An Officer and a Gentleman, that was probably undeniable. Only the 3rd Black actor to win an Oscar, a powerful performance and that was the 3rd highest grossing movie of 1982 so it had all the momentum and social-cultural-popular weight behind it. O'Toole 0-7 for Oscars. He should have won for Lion in Winter IMO. I mean who is Cliff Robertson and what was Charly? I've never heard of either.krista4 said:
