JoeinAR 1,949 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Finally saw Its a Wonderful Life in 4k. As David pointed out man this is a great picture(cinematography). It certainly was gorgeous. I didn't know MARY had an older brother. bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Wild At Heart Nic Cage, Willem Dafoe, and a giant slew of actors from Twin Peaks and other Lynch films. What’s not to love? Being an adaption, the narrative is pretty straightforward, but you get the typical insanity that comes along with Lynch. Felt like an acid trip for most of the runtime.

Bespin 8,478 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I watched Judy. Honestly I didn't know her very much. Great performance by Zellweger, but it's a very depressing movie. Interesting, well done, but depressing. After I watched the last Spider-Man. It was fun, it's my kind of humor. And I'll never get tired of this little bubble but.

I love watching that one with someone who hasn't seen it yet. They're always dropping their bowl of chips, when they're about to sit down on the sofa, but at that point you're already 100 seconds in the movie.

Holko 9,499 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Perfect Blue - fantastic visuals and editing, really felt like I was going a bit mad with the main character. And it's exactly because of that that while very engrossing and mindfucky while watching for the first time, in hindsight the plot itself is a lot more straightforward and maybe ever so slightly disappointingly so.

I understand why! But I must admit that newer orchestrations of the songs, makes the verses music less "dull" and flat (for me it's like a child singing na-na-na-nana-na-na-naaaa na-na-na-na-na-na-na-naaa) than the traditional versions. na na na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na... geez...

bollemanneke 3,337 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Robin Hood: men in tights. I finally found a Robin Hood movie I like. Thought I had seen Cary Elwes in something else, but turned out to be mistaken. Amy Yasbeck sounds exactly like the woman who played Marian in the musical we went to as kids when she sings. Robin Rees sounds exactly like John Clease. Ooh, Patrick Stewart! The score is really good. The heroic cues give me Toy Story and Jurassic Park vibes.

Bespin 8,478 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Searching for Bobby Fischer. I already saw this movie, but I don't remember it. Oh, Ben Kinglsey plays in it, wow! I don't like Chess, I never wanted to learn this game. I refuse the idea of knowing 10 turns in advance that it's "finished". I don't subscribe to this idea. I keep the faith till the end, no matter what I guess. Playing Chess is ART. That's what I remember from this excellent movie.

LSH 968 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 THE EDGE - 1997 One of my favourite films from the 90s. I love the story, it's beautifully shot, and Jerry's score is wonderful....

The 4 Indiana Jones films would replace the railway stations, and the dark blue streets could be JAWS and JAWS II. Jail could be HEARTBEEPS, and Free Parking could be CE3K. Hey!
