Fancyarcher 350 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Whisper of The Heart - One of my favorite Ghibli films. Love how down to earth the whole film feels. It's really a nice romance at its core. - 9.5 / 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Ingrid Goes West I kinda loved it. Aubrey Plaza is perfect as a girl who becomes obsessed with a hipster woman in L.A. on Instagram and actually moves there and becomes her friend. It's not clear at first if the audience is supposed to think she's a kook or if we should be on her side. It's difficult to sympathize with any other character besides Ingrid and her landlord, who is obsessed with Batman. Everyone else seems crazy in the end. It also had an ending I never saw coming. I highly recommend it. Aubrey Plaza and her boyfriend are very endearing. Matt C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,000 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Quite randomly I put The BFG on. It wasn't that bad actually. It made me appreciate the score more. It's definitely better than Hook. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher 350 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Wonderstuck - Really liked this. Surprisingly quite nice (I guess I shouldn't be surprised coming from the author of Hugo), and the scenes where it basically acted like a silent movie were pretty genius. Moore is also quite good in a role with limited dialogue. - 8 / 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first saw it, I thought it was a satire for the first half hour or so. It didn't leave me with a good impression of Mark Isham, either. Nice to have an excuse to hear Keith David talk, though.

A24 4,331 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Funny, last night a friend told me that most of what you see in 'Brugge' is fake, rebuild in the style of what once stood there.

Matt C 452 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Cool World This is an even bigger train wreck than I last thought. The animation is rough, none of the toon antics are funny (one scene involves one toon character pissing on a police car during a pursuit), and the script just goes off the rails near the end. Kim Basinger is the only one who comes off unscathed as the voice and live-action Holli Would, while Gabriel Byrne and Brad Pitt are woefully underused and/or miscast. None of the animated characters are funny either, they're either annoying or sleazy. This is how NOT to do a live-action/animated film. All copies of this movie should be gathered and burned.

I heard when Bakshi walked on set on the first day of production, he was given a completely different script that was written behind his back. So a lot of what was done and how it was done in postproduction is just a giant middle finger to the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see a warts-and-all documentary on this film though. A film that fails as spectacularly as Cool World deserves to be a crash course in how NOT to do a film.
