Movies - General Discussion

Did anyone see the movie Detroit yet?

Not yet. Kathryn Bigelow.... she has some good movies on her resume.

Just saw "Nocturnal Animals." Wow, really good. It's like a dark version of "Princess Bride" in how they narrative is set up. But damn, great acting too... Michael Shannon. Adams, Gyllenhaal. Even Aaron Taylor-Johnson, I didn't know that was him.
Deep movie, probably moves up into my top 5 of 2016.

Really? I'll have to check it out

Shattered his ankle. At 55 years old Tom should start letting stuntman do these crazy stunts.

I can't for the life of me understand why they thought this was a good idea. Normally in movies don't they have a pulley system to help pad the fall of jumps like that?

And I also for the life of me understand why they think another Mission Impossible movie is a good idea. That series has been stale for awhile for this movie goer.

We watched Nocturnal Animals last night. It was very different and we discussed the ending for quite a while. I love Amy Adams, but I didn't like Gyllenhaal in this role. I didn't feel vested in his quest for justice, he didn't seem sympathetic or genuine for most of the movie.

I watched it and liked it quite a bit.

Lets start with the beginning. The art show was....mmmmm.. different?

I found the movie was captivating and it pulled you in a lot of different directions. It wasnt the normal popcorn flick and it held my interest.

The ending being up to interpritation wasnt my favorite but i can see why they did it that way.

Now that Deb called out Gyllenhaal I have to agree his book self wasnt the best but I enjoyed the film

Wow... Dunkirk was epic

We saw it Monday night and really liked it. My only complaint is that sound track. Bloody intense and at times annoying.

He was counting on L Ron Hubbard to break his fall.

They made a film about how the worst movie ever was made?

lol

I'll watch it

First reactions to "Blade Runner: 2049" are saying it's incredible.
In directors, I trust. After Denis Villeneuve directed "Arrival", "Sicario", "Prisoners", and "Enemy"... come on. Also, the combination of "Sci-Fi" and "Thriller" is the perfect film combo!
Fair to say that the IMAX has my $$$ next Thursday evening.

Oh man thats awesome! I'm going to have to rewatch the first one. Its been awhile since I watched it

[jaadam4]

I watched Logan Lucky last weekend and it was pretty good. Nice cast, well directed and fun.

Looking forward to Blade Runner for sure.

I just watched La La Land, and damn that was good. I figured there was probably an overreaction just because it was a musical when it was getting hyped up, but it deserved all the accolades it received.
