SteveMc 2,674 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The Founder (2016) Michael Keaton is excellent in this driving film about greed, determination, genius, opportunism and hamburgers. It does a wonderful job of both idealizing and criticizing the American corporate and entrepreneurial ideal. Michael Corenblith's production design deserves special mention. 3.5/4 A24 and The Illustrious Jerry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The summer camp plot is just comedy gold, and I love the "chemistry" between Christopher Lloyd and Joan Cusack. It’s a classic in my book. The cast is impeccable.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Swing Time (1936) One of the great, charming romantic comedy musicals of the 30s starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, looking amazing on this Criterion blu-ray. I love returning to these films from time to time (see also: Top Hat, Shall We Dance) as they never fail to leave me feeling happy. Come for the effervescent dancing, the witty comedy, the Jerome Kern music (with arrangements by Robert Russell Bennett and others), and the gorgeous Art Deco sets. This one has classic songs like “A Fine Romance” and “The Way You Look Tonight,” even performing them in counterpoint for the finale. The highlights include the magical snow sequence where Astaire and Rogers trade off spurning each other’s advances (the chemistry between Astaire and Rogers is palpable!) and the extended fantasy dance number where Astaire dances with 3 of his own silhouettes, each 3 stories tall. This is the kind of filmmaking you just luxuriate in like a warm bath Kasey Kockroach and Unlucky Bastard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,396 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Wind Chill - student Emily Blunt uses the 'ride board' at her college to get a lift home for the Christmas holidays from a fellow student. In the midst of an argument over whether he's 100% trustworthy, their car crashes and gets stuck in the snow. It soon becomes apparent that the stretch of road they're stranded on is haunted ... Not a bad little horror. Has George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh amongst its exec producers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illustrious Jerry 3,356 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) A solution of blood, sweat, grime, oil, dust, body ink, and testosterone, all of which are perfectly balanced with such precise concentrations and supreme skill in this delicious concoction of director Geogre Miller's creation. Simply one of the craziest and awesome action movies of all time, and one that is aware of so much else beside the action itself. Striking photography, unreal car chases and a very good story add layers to what would already be a more than passable action flick. Above and beyond, and was with it from the very start. 5/5 All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) I'll give most of the credit to Erich Maria Remarque's crucially important WWI novel for so much of the brilliantly done symbolism and the underlying lesson that the only thing worse than dying in the trenches was surviving. This Oscar-winning adaptation does a fair bit of justice for Remarque's book, and is quite an interesting taste of the way cinema was at the time. 5/5 Only the Brave (2017) Not very keeping. Perhaps one too many Josh Brolin or Jeff Bridges movies lately. 3/5 Secret Path (2016) Historically important animated short film created by Canadian icon Gord Downie of The Tragically Hip about a young Indigenous boy's experience in a residential school and his attempt to return to his family. Underscored by a number of wonderful and powerful songs, released on an album of the same name. I remember when this aired on the CBC a few years back but I hadn't seen the whole thing until now. It's available on YouTube on the CBC Arts channel. The actual short film is about 40 minutes with a longer documentary portion afterwards. 5/5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bollemanneke 3,367 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Source code. At first I thought the similarities between this movie and Edge of Tomorrow were going to bother me, but they didn’t. I really enjoyed the first half, but gradually lost faith in it as the ending unfolded. It doesn’t make sense at all: how on earth is he suddenly able to e-mail Goodwin and how does he continue to live? Doesn’t that mean that, if they continue with Source Code, countless captains will eventually show up in the same reality? This was my first Chris Bacon score and it was very interesting too, especially the brass writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
