Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Mean Queen I've seen a lot of these Lifetime TV movies but this ranks somewhere near the top because of the hysterical performance of the title character who's a total psycho kray kray bitch who really wants that Prom Queen crown so badly, she'll lie, cheat, steal and murder anyone who gets in her way. The level of unprovoked violence this girl commits just for an inconsequential one-night popularity contest is hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,346 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 The Anderson Tapes - interesting thriller in which fresh-out-of-prison burglar 'Duke' Anderson (Connery) decides to burgle the entire apartment block where his old girlfriend (Dyan Cannon) lives, and assembles a team to carry out the robbery. Directed by Sidney Lumet, this was the first major film to point out the pervasiveness of electronic surveillance and was Christopher Walken's movie debut to boot.

bollemanneke 3,338 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Frozen. My first holiday movie in forever… in seven months. Maurice LaMarche was terrible and Kristen Bell is quite good. Santino Fontana and his character are great, as are Alan Tudyk, the trolls and Olaf. I’ve always loved the chord progressions in songs like these, but still don’t like them interrupting conversations without any reason or warning and the singers weren’t fabulous either. The score is very good, especially its sad parts, but I wanted more harps, sleigh bells and celestas. Also, did they intentionally make the tambourines opening Olaf’s song sound like the shower scene music from Psycho? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,398 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Never understood the love for this movie, or its songs. Plot was boring, the comic relief were annoying, and I fucking hate Olaf, specially because here he is dubbed by local comedian Fábio Porchat, who does a very poor job with him. Moana and even Ralph Wrecks the Internet were way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,398 Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 In portuguese, "Let it Go" was translated as "Livre Estou", or "Free I Am". But that one is acceptable, I guess "Love is an Open Door" was much harder to translate (here it has a weird name, "Vejo uma Porta Abrir" or "I See a Door Opening Up").

Quintus 5,399 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Ex Machina. Not bad at all. An effective low budget slice of philosophically slanted sci-fi which works due to its intimately engaging cast and that rare as rocking horse shit commodity of the genre: a script that doesn't take the piss.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Live and Let Die Roger Moore is in the house and suddenly things are a lot crazier and a lot more fun. Not to impugn Sean Connery's work, but Moore has a certain charm and effortlessly cool swagger that makes him my favorite Bond. Just look at him smoking a cigar while flying a hang glider. What a badass! All of the other debuts for new Bonds played it safe, even if they were doing something different such as the origin story in Casino Royale. That's not the case for Live and Let Die. It's as wacky as they come and frequently not what you would have expected going on. It still has all the Bondian trademarks and it also has one of the best chase scenes ever, nice American locations and more black people than you'll ever see in a 007 movie ever again. From Bond's posh pad with coffee maker and babe to the gritty streets of NYC and the bayous of Louisiana, it's incredibly cool, sexy and completely entertaining. 007's escape from gators and crocodiles is another highlight. The only thing missing is Q. A24 and Unlucky Bastard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog gets blamed for this, but it starts in Diamonds Are Forever ... the way Connery poses his hands when Blofeld's henchmen are searching him in the pre-credits sequence, Wint and Kidd, Blofeld in drag, Connery's pink tie.

Naïve Old Fart 9,507 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 It's all camper than Butlins, isn't it? Personally, I find DAF to be a horrible, patronising, nasty runt of a film, with only the score to recommend it. It's strange to think that TSWLM, which is meant to be a return to "proper" Bond, was largely penned by an uncredited Mankiewicz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Part of Bond's charm is the same as with Indiana Jones. He blows tons of guys away with skill and ease but still occasionally has his ass handed to him by a big henchman and turns the tables on him. Hell, it's the same thing with Batman.
