Willow ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
Three Identical Strangers is so good.
The Math Greek was up this weekend and the Indie Spirit screeners are all online now so we were able to watch Shoplifters, Minding the Gap, and Support the Girls, which were all very good in different ways. Shoplifters was exceptional. We usually watch more than that but due to my having to work we weren't able to get to Beale Street or The Tale unfortunately.
Shakes fist at screener getters.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
We just saw Three Identical Strangers. Really gripping.
ok, so I am not alright after watching that.
Beale Street was beautiful and moving.
I saw On the Basis of Sex tonight. It was... fine. A bit by the numbers, really. But the cast was fine, and the clothes were great. Really, RBG is more inspirational.
I had heard the same from a friend who does film reviews. It is low on my Oscar Watch list as a result.
Can someone who's seen Boy Erased tell me (in spoiler font) if I'm going to end up horribly depressed by it?
I saw They Shall Not Grow Old this afternoon. It's an extraordinary achievement, I think. The way Jackson uses color to frame the war zone experience as distinct from the film set in the UK was very effective. It was not, in my opinion, a movie to bring young children to, and the one next to me seemed very disturbed by the images of dead, battered people and horses. I found it disturbing, too, but I was expecting it. Anyway, people interested in WWI should check it out. And those interested in filmmaking might find Peter Jackson's post-credits bit interesting.
