It's pretty good, I finished it in one go, so that means a lot. Star studded cast in minor roles, damn Nick Nolte I didn't even recognize, he has gained a few pounds. I'm usually not such a fan of Shia LaBeouf nor Robert Redford, but both did a fine job here.

 

One of those songs won an Oscar and I want to file a protest for that. ;-) what did it win it for, longevity? The movie is OK, but story-wise it's quite poor. Lots of dancing but it didn't really impress me
The title could not be used anymore in these times.

Pink Panther Strikes Again!
Pure brilliance, even after 40+ years, it's still hilarious from start to finish. And those title credits!!

Uncut Gems — a loud and soulless, nihilistic, mean little film.

The Rise of Skywalker — a totally meh movie with some nice action but it’s like Abrams allowed his franchise to be castrated after fanboys hated Last Jedi, which is probably the only truly good Star Wars film. Oh well.

(the world of Kanako)
that was a bit more fucked up than I was expecting....

Nothing spectacular. I was inquisitive to hear Jóhann Jóhannsson's soundtrack.

I've never heard of that movie, but for a Cage film it has very decent ratings on imdb. The title puts me off though, I instantly got this song in my head :eek:

I watched these:
 

Pink Panther Strikes Again was funny, this one however is pretty lame from start to finish

_tunic_ 05.14.2020 10:34 AM

And also

 

Cool movie, especially Perkins. Special effects are a bit dated :D but still great as well as the soundtrack.

 

No idea what language this is, but it's a great design for a movie poster!
The Birds. Great movie, amazing soundtrack because there isn't any! :) they used some type of pre-version of a synthesizer to sample the bird sounds. Tippi Hedren is fabulous, especially knowing that she had never acted before. Also the specials on the bluray for this movie are great like the Making Of

Ha! I haven't liked Cage since Adaptation.

I'll watch Cosmatos' first film Beyond the Black Rainbow next.

A couple of Mexican movies :


Mas negro que la noche
Funny as there's way more female characters than male ones (who are not too important). I liked it. Especially the lack of characterization of the girls. In an average movie, you'll get the bitch, the brainy... the Spice Girls. There, no. And you believe in the bond between them. The best was the servant. As she doesn't evolve that much, but the way we perceive her does.

El espinazo del diablo
I expected a good movie but not as satisfying as other Guillermo Del Toro movies (since it was close to an early one). How wrong I was... It was better than I expected...

A Goofy Movie, because fuck it.

I think the last time I've seen it must've been in the mid-2000s. Probably should've watched it in preparation for The Return 3 years ago. Powerhouse performance by Sheryl Lee. Too bad it was poorly received in its own time. But I feel like it has gained new appreciation, especially since The Return had aired.

I sometimes wonder if critics at the time watched the 1st 20 minutes and then walked out before the film really kicks into gear. Lynch's most underrated film imo.

Diesel 05.19.2020 10:14 AM

I would say Fire walk with me is the best piece of Twin Peaks media; the original series is so dated and slow paced. The Return was just a complete mind-fuck. It had that one episode about the invention of the atomic bomb which was at the very least aesthitically pleasing. Juxtaposed with the slow burning plot where we witness detective Cooper is in a comatose state doing literally nothing, drab episode after drab episode.

Lynch has pace issues in some of his movies which is only amplified in longform format. FWWM got the pace and weirdness just right.

Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom
It has its moments, but overall it's pretty lame.
