The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 True Grit (2010) Trust the Coen Bros. to adapt a John Wayne classic and turn it into a fairly memorable but not particularly endearing venture with plenty of fun dialogue and a solid cast. It's a far cry from being a bullseye, but I was satisfied all in all. *** out of **** The Phantom Thread (2017) A deft and settled first half erupts into a dramatic display of confrontational energy, captivating in the complicated relationship of a demanding dress designer and his model love interest. For a film keen on fashionable beauty and gorgeous costumes, naturally, our centre of attention is quite an ugly juxtaposition, examining the troubled and dysfunctional relationship between two people as they struggle to cope with one another's intricacies. Simply broiling performances from Daniel Day-Lewis and Vicky Krieps. The peaks of their respective performances are commendable. **** out of **** SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,350 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Ghostbusters (1984). It took a while before I was enjoying it and another 30 minutes before I turned it off. Didn't really like Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis. Also thought it was way too far-fetched and the attitude towards women bothered me. Poor Sigourney Weaver: what a stupid role, no wonder she sounded even more bored than usual. This was my second Elmer Bernstein score and Far from Heaven was much better. Now I know what inspired Danny Elfman when he wrote Beetlejuice. Liked the cheerful bits, but nothing beats the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me; in 1987, it was hilarious. It still is, actually, especially when one realises that the monologues are ad-libbed. Most poignant line: "What if it escalated?".

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The Witch All the talk a few pages back got me interested. Properly terrifying in its imagery, but felt a bit thin ultimately. Never been a fan of horror films though, so the fact that I didn’t hate it is a solid plus in my book. Netflix compression was down right awful on this one. Zero detail in the blacks, which this film had many. Made me wish I watched it on blu-ray. Chen G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,350 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Jurassic Park. I waited six years to re-watch it. Spared no expense and forgot a lot of details in the process. Laura Dern was great except for the 'something's wrong' chanting, but I found Richard Attenborough rather annoying. I also don't really understand Dennis. Did he want to endanger or kill everyone in the park? The pacing is mostly very good, however, and the dinosaurs sound fantastic. Tim started out as an annoying kid, but both he and Lex grew on me once things got underway, although the science is obviously a bit problematic and the ending too optimistic. What surprised me the most about the score is how perfect it’s in tune with every emotion we're supposed to feel, and it obviously has great themes. I was also very impressed with the incredible choral music playing over the birth of the velociraptor. So why did I have to learn today of all days that John Williams once threw a chair at a cellist? Now my perfect little bubble in which I could unconditionally admire him has burst. Oh well, I’m sure life will find a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I just watched The Lake House. I don't understand this film at all. She's living in 2006, he's living in 2004. They want to meet for real, so they make a date for two years in the future, and he's waiting for two years, and she's sitting at the table ... but if he waits two years, wouldn't she be two years in the Future still, because both are waiting for two years? In the future, she is expecting him to come, yet in the very next scene, he's two years in the past, surprised he didn't come to the date two years in the future. What? I couldn't even concentrate on the film because it appears to be utter nonsense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
