Just can’t dig them. However, I watched the Gangs of New York last week and enjoyed it. It was longer than it needed to be, 2nd act was rushed. Also, not a big mafia movie guy. Godfather was god awfully boring. Love The Godfather. Most mafia movies. Read several books. I was depressed when they ended the Sopranos.

Same here. Mafia movies, Westerns, war movies... I'm a sucker for any of them. Speaking of mafia movies, have you seen Millers Crossing? It's a Coen Bros movie so it's a little unconventional, but still very much a mob/noir masterpiece IMO. Available to rent on Amazon. Goodfellas is my favorite movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Watched Driver(on Netflix) for the first time about 10 years too late. Great flick. Pretty cliche storyline and some of the dialogue was a bit lackluster, but they made up for it in cinematography. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Similar note re: car chases—I also watched Romancing the Stone, a favorite 80s flick of mine. This scene with the Ford Bronco(a vehicle I still hope to own one day) is still pretty rad. Shooting the gap in that boss was and still is awesome.

I feel like this movie unfairly gets lost in the shuffle of all the 80s nostalgia. Absolutely in that category of big, exciting, fun adventure movie from that era for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,364 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) Watched a couple movies I hadn’t seen before today. I always disregarded Snowpiercer because it appeared to me that it was just a run of the mill action flick, and in some ways it was, but the societal symbolism and grimness of the whole thing was great Room was also impactful. Brie Larson played a phenomenal role and I can see why she won an Oscar for it. And Jacob Tremblay is going to be a great actor, he already is. Both are currently on Netflix. And I’m just now realizing both leads are Captain America and Captain Marvel...I don’t watch superhero movies *ducks*.

I do enjoy the Taika Waititi version of Thor and Guardians of the Galaxy, though. Snowpiercer is awesome. I'm anxious to watch the show. Jennifer Connolly seems perfectly cast. Side note: Koreans are fantastic at directing movies set on trains or with defining scenes set in hallways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kristen’s personality and humor make her hotter than just appearance. I watch the Disney+ show Encore, which she produces. She shows more of her business side. She does not appear on most of the episodes but in one particular case, she gave some feedback and ran lines opposite one of the actors to help out. Really cool to see how she loves what she does. I will agree with E though that Rachel McAdams is just incredibly sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riiiiight Don't use your daughter as an excuse. (Frankly, I'm almost curious to see Frozen 2 because I saw the first one several times with my daughter, but she aged out of being interested by the time 2 came along. But I'm not curious enough to actually watch it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, now that I've seen the movies, I thoroughly enjoyed them and probably will watch them at some point when she's older, just because I love good cinema. But she turns 5 in six days, so the excuse for watching them is not only valid, it's true. I guarantee I wouldn't have watched them if not for having a little girl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
