Every movie I've watched since we've been in quarantine:

Cat People-First watch, really enjoyed this one. Other than A Clockwork Orange I haven't really seen any young Malcom McDowell movies. Also the David Bowie song kicks ass.

Us-Finally saw this after all the hype has died down. This movie was a lot of fun. Felt like Jordan Peele was attempting to write his own episode of The Twilight Zone, which makes sense given that he brought The Twilight Zone back.

Glass- I heard enough people saying that as a third film in the trilogy Night didn't stick the landing and sort of messed up the goodwill he got from Unbreakable and regained with Spilt. I thought it was fine. Not a total disappointment, not an amazing ending to a trilogy either.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters- I like kajui movies, even mediocre ones are fun in my book. Do you guys like the modern Godzilla movies? Meaning the last one and this one? Not the Matthew Broadrick one from the 90's.

Happy Death Day 2U- I enjoyed this movie as well. A movie that unlike most horror movie sequels didn't just repeat itself.

Dangerous Liaisons- The best of the bunch so far. I enjoyed this movie a great deal. A fantastic cast, great score. If you've not seen it, see it. Everyone is so good in this movie.

Arthur- Saw this for the first time last night. There are definitely moments where the comedy in today's climate could be quite questionable but isn't that the case with any comedy even 10 years old or older? I have heard that this movie is a comedy classic, and that the sequel to it is a major let down, so while that is available to watch I have no intention of watching it.

All these movies I watched through HBO, I realized that even though I have Netflix, I haven't seen anything on it since February, prior to the Covid isolation. How about you guys? I'll keep posting as I watch, I tend to come to this board and then forget about it for weeks so I'll try to keep coming back and updating, cause, why not?

Have you seen Shin Godzilla ? It's Japanese made, it's a cool one, but I've only watched the start, might as well finish it tonight. It's more a political satire than a monster flick.
I don't think I've seen the one you saw yet.

Wee Wille Winkie, a Shirley Temple movie.

Really enjoyed watching Shin Godzilla, don't expect Hollywood style big budget special effects but like I said watch it as political satire.

Yesterday I channel hopped onto the last half hour of Wanted starring Angelina Jolie. Found it really surprising how stupendous it was despite the pretty good ratings it has on imdb.
Two guys are in a gunfight (in a moving train), they shoot three times at each other and each time the bullets hit one another ????

Was it a bullet train?

dolemite



you no-business born-insecure junkyard motherfucker! :D

the matrix



it’s been so looooong!!

loved it all over again

the matrix reloaded



sure sure we could talk about buddhism and reincarnation and neo in ip man drag but really monica bellucci is the movie’s supernova

Cage at his best as a corrupt, drug-addicted cop whose girlfriend is an also drug-addicted prostitute and his parents are alcoholics.

ahahahahaaaa i love this movie

I was actually going to have this as my first choice for film night when I got back from New Orleans a month back. Instead I chose something that I can't even remember.

Should get it watched really.

^^^^^^
The lizards are the true stars of that movie :)

Tonight I watched a movie that stars both Bill Murray and Bruce Willis. It was quite disappointing. Don't understand why anyone would like to make it or star in it. It's based on true events but definitely not as shown in that movie. A comedy that takes place in warzone Afghanistan...? (And has a sincere lack of humor). Avoid.

rock the casbah was BRUTAL.

Watched a movie on Netflix called Wildling. About a girl who was severely sheltered by her father, until one day she is rescued and goes to live with a family, and her struggle to adjust.

i love cate blanchett but elizabeth the golden age was quite shit

Slint documentary on YT called Breadcrumb Trail.
Their parents should get a statue for allowing a bunch of 14 year olds playing trashpunk in their basement 24/7

Never knew (or totally forgot) that the drummer also played on the first Breeders albums. Makes sense long time I heard it, will be the Sunday morning starter

Watched The Dirty Dozen.

Used to love this thread back in the day (I have some postings SEVERAL pages back and I am NOT digging them back up)...


The last 4 movies I watched, all via Netflix (most were exclusive/original)


WHAT HAPPENED TO MONDAY



Not particularly great but not horrible either. Dystopian settings are nothing new and for the most part this is no exception. Satisfying enough action-wise. Admittedly I mainly watched it for William Dafoe, but he's barely in it. Not recommended if seeing things happen to children upsets you.



7/10




UNDER THE SKIN


Would be the one most of interest to people on here of this whole batch. Slow, sparse dialogue, but some really amazing cinematography. Most impressive is somehow they got ScarJo herself to play the lead role?! Some have called her miscast and her performance wooden, but I think it worked for the role (she plays an alien). More art than movie. Enjoyed but probably won't rewatch (rare for me these days anyway).



8/10




6 UNDERGROUND


It's Michael Bay, so I knew what I was getting into. OK-ish acting, horrid dialogue and the main character comes off as a prick. Plus, it tries to come off as caring about the plight of people in the third world (mainly the Middle East) but ends up looking sanctimonious. Definitely a "turn off your brain and enjoy yourself" kind of movie.


6 (:D)/10




THE IRISHMAN


A masterpiece, but...3 1/2 HOURS??!! I can think of ways he could have shortened it, and I usually can't for long movies (case in point, Interstellar). Great cast, with appearances from guys known for crime films/television both older (Harvey Keitel) and younger (Bobby Cannavale). Heard the Five Satins' "In the Still of the Night" in my brain for days after. Robbed at the Oscars.


9/10

I still have not seen it. Thanks for the reminder!

I have not watch any movies lately. this was on telly in the backround there, so I had to stop and watch it. It has been so long...so funny, yet so true..

Watched a western on Netflix called Badland.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

Mission Impossible: Fallout

It’s... a mission impossible movie. I’m not even sure I’ve seen them all. Better franchise than Fast & Furious, but still — movies sort of blend together a bit.

Coppola made this movie in between the first two Godfather episodes, and it was apparently his favourite. It also features a very young Harrison Ford.

Quite relieving compared to the movies of today that you don't need endless car chases nor gun fights to build suspense. For me it ended too soon, but still a very good movie.

^^that’s blowup which is also las babas del diablo

Terrorvision

i recently wactched 2 movies, documentaries exactly "Hype!" and "Kill Your Idols"

recently i watch these docs about music scenes. any reccomandations? you can also reccomend me the movies about bands too! :D :D :D

Some recommendations:
I tried to watch Instrument the other day, the documentary about Fugazi. It's on YT, but the quality is only 240p. I don't want to waste my ears on it, but you're still young so you probably won't mind as much :).

The same guy that made that documentary, Jem Cohen, also made this: Empires Of Tin. It's a registration of an art performance in Vienna about the WOI, with live music from artists like Vic Chesnutt, Silver Mt. Zion and Guy Picciotto. This quality on YT is also not HD, but 480p is watchable. It's a favourite of mine, but I love those musicians.

If you like Bob Dylan, watch that Netflix documentary about the Rolling Thunder Revue.

Oh and This Is Spinal Tap ! Probably the best documentary about a band ever made :D
I'll watch that tonight, long time since I saw it.
(Bummer, I added a YT link for that movie but it's a fake, so removed it again. But try to find it if you can)

I always enjoyed this one, for sure. Where did you watch it? Is it streaming anywhere? I would love to watch through it again.

If you are interested in that scene, Nirvana's Live Tonight, Sold Out got soooo much play from me back in the day. Not really a documentary per se, but musical performances and various interview clips. I feel it gave a good sense of the personalities within the band. I feel a lot here will shit on this choice, but Pearl Jam's PJ20 was a good documentary, I thought.

Some I have enjoyed over the years:

Miles Davis - Birth of the Cool
Sex Pistols - Filth and the Fury
Rush - Beyond the Lighted Stage
Metallica - Some Kind of Monster (I love watching this as a hater of the band)
The Devil and Daniel Johnston


And, of course, this is the best recommendation you will ever get in this thread!

Also, recently watched The Platform on Netflix. Not sure what to make of it. I started off totally loving it and really excited to see where it would go. Really reminded me of a modern take on Cube from back in the day. It got a little odd though, and started to feel a bit preachy, but misguided on what it was actually trying to say. It was one of those that left me feeling like I missed the main point, and I lost interest in trying to figure it out. First half hour to an hour were really engrossing though.

Curious of anyone else's thoughts on it...

I saw the trailer and decided not to watch it. Horror and prisons are not really my favourite movie subjects, let alone a combination of it.

I am eating Nasi Goreng tonight though

on archive.org (most stuff is in there. kill your idols is there too)

tahnks! i'll keep that in mind! :D :D :D

I'll recommend the documentary "A Band Called Death".

Tonight I watched Tootsie. First time watch.

earlier today tried watching “groundhog day” which starts kinda funny but then gets boring so i spaced it then finally finished it. it had its funny moments but overall i didnt like it, especially the awful music.

i like bill murray but gave it a thumbs down.

later though, as a revenge, i watched goodfellas all over again.



what a movie!

and what i noticed the most this time around were the numerous, excellent tracking shots that pepper the whole movie. brilliant visual narrative throughout. just fucking masterful tracking shots. at the copacabana. in the meat truck. around the house. even the last shot. it’s not just the roaming, it’s what it shows.

Tonight I watched "Horns" again, enjoyable movie.

Galaxy Quest is the best movie ever made!

I will explain:

I would have loved to continue but can't add any more pictures to this post

Just watch it!

This movie is streaming at the Neil Young Archives app (membership not required). The album is one of the top 5 albums that I have listened to the most throughout my life and I still haven't grown tired of it. Probably heard it the first time when I was 18, which is 30 years ago!

He will be streaming all his concert movies on rotation in the app.

If you mean the one starring Daniel Radcliffe based on the novel written by Joe Hill, then I definitely agree.

Space Jam cause it's leaving Netflix soon and because I have Michael Jordan on the brain thanks to "The Last Dance"
