Forrest ,'Conversations with Dead People'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I saw Woman in Gold yesterday - excellent film. Helen Mirren was just wonderful in it, as was Tatiana Maslany playing a younger version of her in Nazi-occupied Vienna.
Ryan Reynolds is out of his depth acting alongside the likes of Mirren and Daniel Brühl, but he gives it a good try and might be able to rebuild some credibility as an actor based on this role. As long as he doesn't follow it up with a comic book movie that keeps anyone from taking him seriously. Uh oh.
If that is Ryan Reynolds destroying his chance at being a serious actor, I am totally cool with that. DEADPOOL.
This is also my reaction.
Finally watched the Jurassic World trailer. Yup, I'm going to the movies.
Yeah, it sounds like taking some time away from doing high pressure media franchise work (or just work in general) is a really good idea for him right now. I don't get the sense that Spielberg's process puts him through the ringer like Joss' does.
Saw Child 44. Fairly faithful to the book, and the changes I liked, as I thought certain parts of the book were a bit silly. Tom Hardy was great. Distracting nonsense were Noomi Rapace's contacts, Gary Oldman's accent (wtf, Oldman?!) and GO's disappearing appearing disappearing headwound.
I thought the pathos revealed made so much more sense for the impetus for the protagonist than what the novel gave us.
I'm still annoyed at both book and movie for potting itself as a serial killer thriller, when it is so far from that. Its just a little bit of the story that helps propel everything else.

Directing Star Wars was so bad for Lucas that he didn’t direct another film for 20 years. Making Apocalypse Now very nearly killed Coppola, and frankly, he was never quite the same creatively afterwards.

Pity someone didn't make it more difficult for him on set.
I think the Avengers guys must be praying for the press tour to end: RDJ walking out of an interview, Renner and Evans saying stupid things and having to apologize--Do you think they could get a day off to just not talk to anybody and sleep or something?
