What movies have you seen recently?
- Thread starter Plainview
- Start date
From what I’ve seen they’re going all out with it and it has a big budget. Probably not rushing to get it to screens.
I don't give two hoots I want to watch Lord of the Rings TV Show damnit!
I don’t mind waiting if it pushes fantasy shows even further than what Game of Thrones did.
I was watching Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford recently just finished the last half hour. This is a very underrated film. Feel like it is a masterpiece. Casting, acting, direction, cinematography, haunting musical score. Great film.
Just watched Pinocchio for the first time since I was a kid, and I am shook. This was one crazy movie about human trafficking.
The autopsy of Jane Doe
the first 2/3 of the movie was great then they somehow f***ed it all up with s***ty camera angles, terrible script and acting and a bad ending.
Con Air
Haven't seen this since the early 2000s... it's still great! The Buscemi with the little girl scene still feels weird and fitting for some strange reason. No Cage being Cagey though, he does cage out for 2 seconds while being happy for getting out when talking to his ebony friend in prison though lol

Followed up Pinnochio with A.I. Artificial Intelligence.
AI is another weird ass movie with a lot of creepy/cringe moments. Ultimately it's a fairy tale, in the same vein as Pinnochio. I read up on the production history of this film, and it goes back to the 90's when Kubrick started pre-production, but gave up because he didn't like CGI tech at the time. Spielberg took over and cast Haley Joel Osment as the robot boy instead of relying on CGI.

Hamilton: Interesting, but I can't stand musicals
I do like history, and it was an interesting story overall, but musicals annoy me with the unceasing singing. The rapping was great, however. Also, given what the social climate is towards the founding fathers right now, I'm surprised people still laud this show. Lastly, Eliza Hamilton seems to have made a much greater social impact with her work, and she basically got only a few minutes in the spotlight at the end - another aspect that today's climate should object to.

I don't like musicals either but I really enjoyed it. Worthy of the hype.
I take back what I said about the Hobbit being too long....
The Lord of the Rings trilogy - f*** they're long. Tthe more I see it the more I don't like the Frodo journey parts, it just seems so dull compared to everything else.

The Trilogy plus Extended Editions is a masterpiece. I rewatched it last year. Still holds up as the greatest trilogy ever made.
I did have to watch to watch ROTK over two nights though lol.
I watched the extended versions.
I'm not saying they are bad. Just that once Frodo and Sam depart the group their story is boring, important, but dull relative to the rest of the movie...especially after multiple viewings.
Plainview, this person should be banned from the thread.
The Art of War with Wesley Snipes. Outside of at maybe Blade 2 it's his last great movie imo. 90's Snipes is definitely up there for action movies.
I watched some newer movies recently. Knives Out was a great murder mystery film we don’t get ones this good enough. Great cast. It’s on Amazon Prime. Then I watched Ford vs Ferrari thought it was really damn good would like to watch it again. It’s on HBO streaming services.
Thanks for the heads up on Knives Out, I'd like to check that one out again and see if I pick up on anything I missed the first go round. Excellent flick
