'Heart Of Gold'
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 a free preview of Gifted last night. If you're planning to see the movie because a) Chris Evans b) with a child c) occasionally flaunting his biceps, you will not be disappointed.
I thought it was good, and exactly what it wanted to be and no more. For example, this is a role that Octavia Spencer can play in her sleep.
I am sure I will die when I see it. Die from Ovary Explosion.

This sound promising.
OK, but what if you're sad about Chris Evans and Jenny Slate breaking up IRL?
This will probably not help you be less sad.
I can probably get past that....
Scruffy Chris Evans usually puts me in a good mood regardless of the tone of the story.
On the scale of "clean-cut all-American hero" and "those pictures from the Advocate where he looks like a rentboy", he's a few notches up from rentboy.
Took my mom to see Get Out this afternoon, and both of us enjoyed it immensely. I figured out the thing with the armrest stuffing before it happened, but was off base in that I thought the little brother was another of the people wanting Chris' body for his own rather than just a weirdo assistant to the parents.
Saw Niki Caro's The Zookeeper's Wife tonight. Damn is that an incredible story. And, while it's not a perfect film, it made me sad that more films aren't directed by women. So many times throughout I was struck by choices that likely wouldn't have been made by a man.
