Let's get it going here folks. This movie was precovid and pre SJW campaigns and it's a pretty good satire of the political and cultural divide. Don't overthink it. Both progressives and conservatives hate it. Everyone else will think it's a solid 7.
Tom Cruise is a god. Just agree and watch this. His character arc is flatter than the earth but wow cool flying scenes. Also, man o war, what country were they fighting? Are we too scared of PC culture that we don't have enemies anymore? Loved it.
Was this movie a great flick? No. Did it entertain? Yes. Chris Evans was great in his role as funny bad guy. The anti-Harvard humour was tremendous as well.
You will probably feel smart/er after watching this. People may now look at you as, aesthetically, a separate cannon, if not in your own cannon, of shrimpfluence.
Not for the bloody faint of heart mate. Leskov's version quite different with this version as the director adds in elements of both Brit and racial themes that don't come through with the print work. Kat is great, so is Anna and Seb. Strong acting and beautiful scenery. Brutal as heck. At least that is same as novel.
Spader as a tough guy but rich guy from CT who moves to CA and has to take on the jerks at his local HS. Thought the dad going from CC to driving a cab was a bit of a stretch. Also, loved the mom in COCKTAIL. Movie was everything the 80's movies want us to be. Preview to the right on film is not same film btw. What film is that looks terrible. Hi.
The premise was great but the final 15 mins or so it tried so hard to set up for a sequel so it didn't really finish with an uppercut. Swank's character was underdeveloped and the idea that the little girl could have any concept of reality or human interaction is just not consistent with human nature.
It's a movie that wants to be like Bridesmaids but fails in that it's just not that funny. They missed some shots with the bit actors too.....could have really made fun of that region and the wine geek. Schwartzman, Fey, and other bit parts completely underwritten and not that funny. The "group of older people" trying to act young trope is just trite at this point. There was almost nothing about wine in it too aside from the setting.
Great visuals. Story a bit blocky and oportunistisc from a narrative point. Like, man, a lot of things fell into place pretty neatly. Would have been better served with a discussion on fatalism vs free will....then again this was sorta a kids movie. Marty got to geek out a bit while **** had fun with the old movies. A bit of a throw off too with all the British accents in Paris. Why pick only Brit actors? Why just not make in London with same plot?
Reminds me of living in NYC in the 2000's as this scene had just left. The movie is watchable and also boring. Nothing really happens and her story of growing up is not really reflective of society. Also, they really downplayed the drug use in that scene.
What's funny about this movie is that they didn't capture Bin Laden and we still ended up #winning the war and made that country as great as great can be again, and for the first time.
I'm from Boston and Catholic and read the Boston Globe C2C (cover to cover) like the next guy. I used to like my crackers with wine but man O' man I'll never go to church again. I hope that makes sense. Lightning strikes.
That movie you must quote, must perform, standing naked and in front of a mirror, whilst glistening with sparkly sweat, after a shower, after a yoga class, in the YMCA locker room.
Horrigan is a horrible actor. The dialogue scenes between Eastwood and Malkovich are move like Bryant "big country" Reeves trying to D-up Vinny "The Microwave" Johnson. Total mismatch.
I feel like saying that you might not be smart if you don't get this movie, but then again, I don't really get it either. Great philosophical headspace interspersed with some top performances from Marky Mark and Rushmore guy.
Sort of like the movie you and your stoner friends always wanted to write but unlike you and your lazy ilk, Jason Schwartzman is related to Francis Ford Coppola and Nick Cage and can greenlight anything, anytime.
Sometimes I like to sit alone, in the dark, in my safe space, and listen to old Mel Gibson voicemail rants. They scare me. He scares me. Why is he allowed to come outside and play? Can't he stay inside forever?
They make Joe Kennedy into a legit gremlin. Basically implies that Teddy was a puppet for the old man. Not too sure how much fiction overruled fact here but some obvious bias here.
The death spiral of "what next" when you're a bank robber trying to break your disabled bro out of the jail/hospital and nothing can go your way. Decent cast. Not too sure why it's important. Feels like a guilty pleasure, these movies, as you watch horrible act after horrible act. Nothing pleasurable about that.
I spent a summer going D2D selling coupons. That was in 1999 and in southern New Hampshire but somehow felt so close to the scenes of them walking through the 'burbs of KC. Andrea Arnold is the best. My favorite writer and director. See Red Room and Fish Tank. Her soundtracks are the craic.
S'like all the characters are someone you know, someone close, someone that can hit all four or five of those guys. The four or five parts of your brain.
Artie Bucco top uno. David Chase said this movie was inspiration for SOPRANOS. Love the changing of the guard at the end when Tommy takes seat from Bill.
