Movie Talk (New Films, Old Films... doesn't matter) (71 Viewers)

So, sitting at home I managed to watch some movies recently:

Network - Been postponing this for quite some time. It's a great movie and so many great lines of frustration that were/are so much ahead of the time, that's just brilliant. It has a nostalgic feeling to it and I really enjoyed it. Great ending too.

Tokyo Story - Good. I did like the pace and the camera here. Some call it way too slow but I found it enjoyable. Kinda (still) relatable to this society.

La haine - Loved it. Crazy movie, crazy acting and a great movie about hatred and city life.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - Decent at best. I expected so much more and I was bored at times. The last 1/3 of the movie saved it, otherwise I'd label it as shit.

Contagion - Enjoyable movie about the virus so it goes with the atmosphere. Kinda exaggerated but you somehow relate to it now. Nothing special, though. I did like that ending, though.

All about Eve - Good. I really liked Bette Davis performance in this one.

The Wages of Fear - I loved it. Great movie.

Schindler's List - Re-watched it last night and it's just brilliant. One of the best movies ever made imo with a great ending.

Wages of fear and la haine

You liked it?

For sure, it's very good. It does require some patience, but it's definitely worth the watch.

Just saw it, it was really good. Wish it was longer.


Bloodshot - Amateur director, shitfest.

New star wars- even bigger shit fest.

The way back - basketball slice of life drama with affleck, good movie.

Once upon a time in Hollywood - the most overrated movie I've ever seen.

People seem to either love it or hate it. I loved it.

Really hope The Gentleman has a sequel I felt like it needed to be longer too.

I don't know what you were expecting, but i think it's a fine and entertaining movie.

Das Boot - Good one but I expected more. I totally loved the atmosphere, though. Quite claustrophobic and gripping. I can't say I liked the ending.

Eskiya - Nice and entertaining movie to watch. I did not like the ending due to scrip loophole on the roof.

Rush - Pretty great movie, I enjoyed it a lot more than Ford vs Ferrari (bar acting, which was better in FvF). I liked how they portrayed the two character who are totally different. Music was phenomenal but then when I saw it was Hans Zimmer I was not surprised, sound track was brilliant. Btw I gotta mention that I had no idea how the real story went, so it was probably more interesting to me than to others who are into it, because I really hate F1. Despite that, I really think it was good.

Ace in the Hole - Good and enjoyable movie. I really like Kirk Douglas so that's an extra here.

Sherlock Jr. - I loved it. It was so creative and funny, pretty damn crazy it's from 1924.

Incendies - Loved it. Out of new school of directors Denis Villenueve is surely in my top 3, I just love his movies. Pretty powerful story and entertaining. The only thing that I didn't like was how the woman looked pretty much the same despite 20 years difference in the story, but I suppose that's because of the ending which was great.

Casino - Man, despite the hatred I've seen towards this film (even here) I really liked it. Joe Pesci was brilliant while I also liked De Niro (who knows me will know that I do not rate that guy high, so this is huge from me). What's not to like here? I don't get it really. It was super entertaining, those 3 hours felt like 2, while it was funny, had great pace and a nice story with interesting characters. Boring and slow!? Hell no!

Dial M for Murder - Can't really go wrong with Hitchcock. Entertaining and gripping movie about the murder.

La Isla Minima - Nice Spanish movie. Pretty good for those who like detective stuff. Nothing extraordinary but worth a watch imo.

The Gentlemen - I really liked it. I was left surprised as I had no expectations despite movie being made by Guy. IMO it was better than Knives Out. I liked the structure better and acting was also nice.

It was absolutely meaningless. Random short stories collected in a very long movie.

Brad Pitt has a nice shirt and the Hippe Girl is hot, that is enough meaning for me.
Leo's Flamethrower is also nice addition.

First time after Pulp Fiction that he build pieces of short Stories into a long movie

@Dostoevsky

you don’t rate De Niro? Why the fuck not?

@Dostoevsky

To me, to be a great actor, it requires a big set of skill of which an actor changes personalities and plays different roles on a big level. De Niro's performances are linear and in plenty of the cases he's just decent or good, nothing really special about it. It's like you're good at crime roles and that's about it. But even in such roles I'd easily take Joe Pesci over him. Easily. I liked his performances in Once upon a time and in Casino while I think he was decent and overrated in Raging Bull. I also think he was decent in Taxi Driver (massively overhyped) while he was a totally shit and non-existent in The Deer Hunter. To me, plenty of actors could've pulled such performances, in majority of his films, which doesn't make him a living legend in my books.

IMO a high quality calibre actor and somebody who's currently the number one it's Daniel Day-Lewis. Not only he's the best one but imo nobody comes near him, let alone De Niro. His performances in There Will Be Blood and Phantom Thread are simply brilliant and the way he takes shapes and takes different role is top notch. I'd take tons of actors ahead of De Niro. He had good movies that made him a big name, not his performances.
