Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Did you like it? I found them both to be nice homages to the French New Wave with a solid injection of fast-talking "hipster" characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Frances Ha is definitely my favorite Baumbach movie. But I also don't really like Baumbach that much. Which surprises even me, he's a lot like several directors I like but missing something essential I can't put my finger on. Not that his movies are terrible, I just don't connect with them. That's my long way of saying that Frances Ha is great because of Gerwig, not the director. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the ingredients seems to be there (in a Baumbach movie) except the heart isn't beating? Really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 The buzz around Darkest Hour is pretty crazy coming out of its festival appearances at Telluride and Toronto. I thought it looked good and now I'm really excited. So ready for the Joe Wright comeback after Pan was such a disaster (and a terrible movie). Wright is always so great at making period films feel alive and vital, not stuffy. Plus, Gary Oldman is fantastic! Seeing a lot of critics say it makes a great counterpart to Dunkirk, coming at the situation from a different angle and style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 ‘Mouse Guard’ Movie to be Helmed by ‘Maze Runner’ Director Wes Ball I think it's nice that they're making a movie based on "Mouse Guard," one of the cooler graphic novel series I've read. I'm not so sure about it being motion capture, though. It would be really cool as a higher-budget animated TV series, I think. Just look at this panel. Such a cool series.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Probably. For a kid who grew up reading Redwall novels, I couldn't resist the cover of the first Mouse Guard omnibus when I saw it in a bookstore 10 years ago. It's a great, great comic. It could be so cool as an animated series with high production values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost City of Z was quite good. If you've seen Mountains of the Moon, you have a good idea of the tone/style of the film. They're remarkably similar. It's very paced, old school style film making.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Tiny bit more detail on the Halloween sequel that pretends no movies were made in the series after the second. Quote Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago. http://www.slashfilm.com/halloween-reboot-jamie-lee-curtis-casting/#more-441262 I'm cautiously optimistic! David Gordon Green is certainly an offbeat choice to helm, but who knows. Maybe it'll be great. If it's a shitty Halloween sequel it wouldn't exactly be the first If this is a more "grounded" take on the series, then presumably they'll treat Myers as a human being instead of a superhuman demon force or whatever. Myers was supposed to be 21 in the first two movies, so I assume he'll be in his early-60s now for this sequel. Wonder if that will figure into the plot somehow.

nightscape94 965 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Rob Zombie kinda messed them up, because his second entry was awful and now you can't continue that narrative, and another reboot so soon afterwards may have scared the production company, so now they're going back to the well.
