John 2,032 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Fantasy (i.e. Brave) definitely doesn’t seem to be their forte, though I’m interested as to how Onward turns out. All their currently planned films beyond Toy Story 4 are original premises, so that seems promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 When I was 21, the concept of a rat who likes to cook sounded real dumb to me and I ended up thinking it was a masterpiece after I saw it. You never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I watched The Late Show a few years ago. Pretty good. I watched it because I love Lily Tomlin/Altman and it kinda had Long Goodbye vibes with the 70s LA noir thing. Definitely not in the same league as that movie though.

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Philomena. I didn't want to watch it at first because I don't particularly like Judi Dench, but it's certainly not bad at all. I didn't know Irish people used first names so frequently and really want to go back to Ireland now (to hear more of that delicious accent, not to learn more about this tragedy, though that might come up later). The ending is rather abrupt, however, and there's also something decidedly light-hearted about the movie, which is inappropriate given the dramatic subject it tackles, but Steve Coogan and the girls in the flashbacks were all excellent. The score is mostly light-hearted as well and has a few outstanding moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Django unchained. I really liked it at first. My only remarks would have been that they could have deleted a few of Christoph Waltz's monologues and that I didn't like how Jamie Foxx started being all rude to DiCaprio, but other than that, great. But I had yet to watch the ending. Why? Why couldn't the story just finish with them buying Broomhilda? That would have been so bittersweet and poignant. But no, instead we get a pointless shootout that sends Waltz to the afterlife in a mere matter of seconds. I'm not saying I'm not happy with how things turned out in the end and part of me realises that most of what happened had to happen in order for us to get there, but it still feels somewhat forced and unnecessary. As usual, I liked most of the music and the song underscoring Broomhilda entering the dining room was deeply, deeply moving. Tarantino might not be a perfect director, but he knows damn well what he's doing when he chooses the music for his movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
