Joaquin has carved out quite a career. Part of me wonders how accurate he will be (seeing the film tomorrow).
I've seen the trailers ad infinitum, and I know I'll dig it.
Napoleon certainly came...

That's too bad that it feels depressing. I'm seeing it this next week with a friend.
Very excited to see what Ridley Scott created.

Fair enough.
There is a lot of chatter, and that's good and bad.
I do know that Barbie was definitely not made for me.

Thanks for the review.
Barbie has been labelled a wolf in sheep's clothing, because the trailers and ad campaign gave no hint at radical feminism.
The film doesn't seem fun or funny.
What's with...

The first film was the best animated film I've ever seen.
Thanks for the review of the new one.

Just thought I'd move this thread up in the queue.
Re-reading it brings back memories.

I'll ask John if he has the original. He has The Hurt Locker (Which was great).
Was Near Dark that vampire movie with Bill Paxton? I've seen that, but it's been a while.

You're right, I haven't seen the original Point Break.
If I had, I might be more critical.
And yes, there's not really much of a bromance going on with Bodhi and Utah in this new film.
It has...

This is the remake of the 1991 action/adventure film.

JEWEL ROBBERY (1932)



The star of the month for May at TCM is William Powell.
This heist/romance by William Dieterle shows us Powell's charm as a leading man.
He robs a jewelry store in...

Indeed. Gleiberman has got the right attitude about Statham.
He IS better than the movies he's in, and while watching Mechanic: Resurrection I kept thinking he could play James Bond. He's...

MECHANIC: RESURRECTION (2016)



Directed by Dennis Gansel, this sequel to THE MECHANIC is apparently way better.
Jason Statham is great as "BISHOP", a jack-of-all-trades mercenary who's...

COME SEPTEMBER (1961)



Robert Mulligan directs Rock Hudson and Gina Lollabrigida in this tame rom-com.
I found it worth watching for Bobby Darin’s film debut- he even sings.
Rock plays...

She definitely lowered her standards for this one.
John has given me a slew of B-movies this time around.
I’ve never seen them, so I’ll watch them.
THE ASSIGNMENT is a one-time watch.

THE ASSIGNMENT (2017)



Bizarre B-movie from Walter Hill.
Avatar alumni Michelle Rodriguez and Sigourney Weaver really went left-field here, with Michelle playing a hired killer who has gender...

47 METERS DOWN (2017)



This was a good horror film by Johannes Roberts.
Lisa and Kate are on vacation in Mexico, and they decide to go on a scuba trip where you watch sharks in a cage. The...

END OF WATCH (2012)



David Ayers' ultra-real buddy cop movie is amazing.
Michael Pena and Jake Gyllenhaal underwent 5 months of actual police training to prepare for their roles as LAPD...

Your review nails the movie. You're right- the movie isn't even about McConnaughey.

EAST OF EDEN (1955)



This was a special screening of the restored 4K version of Elia Kazan's classic.
Introduced by two directors (Joanna Hogg & Wes Anderson), this was a biblical story of a...

Matthew McConnaughey is Mud, a fugitive hiding out on an island on the Mississippi river.
He's...

JANE GOT A GUN (2016)




Great little western directed by Gavin O'Connor (WARRIOR).
Starring Natalie Portman as Jane (and she also produced!).
Her hubby Ham stumbles home after being shot...

Great!

Yes this movie is a wild ride, and a must-see.
Not a dull moment. Whitaker's acting is truly amazing, and yes, he shares billing with McAvoy who holds his own. The movie nails the urgency...

THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND (2006)




Damn good film by Kevin Macdonald.
Forest Whitaker won a well-deserved Oscar for his portrayal of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin.
James McAvoy plays a Scottish...

ROMANCE ON THE HIGH SEAS (1948)




Doris Day's film debut. She stayed at Warner brothers for 9 years, making the studio a fair amount of money. This was a musical/comedy directed by Michael...
