Downsizing

I love Payne but this was straight up awful. Boring is the most apt word. They do nothing with the concept and it is a really poorly written climate change sermon.

Grade: D

Dang, I was looking forward to this.

Anyone seen Bright on netflix yet? Seems like a very cool concept, but getting baad reviews

I also enjoyed Silence, but it could have been 45 minutes shorter. Gorgeous visuals.

The Greatest Showman

I think if you want to see this movie, youll really enjoy it but if you stumbled into the theatre without knowledge of it, it would be somewhat bland. The music is very good imo but also very much like a musical and pop-y. The storyline isnt as compelling as La La Land and its definitely more of an entertaining movie rather than anything thought provoking/oscar-hunting.

7/10

It should have been a lot better than it is, it's just so poorly written.

I enjoyed Silence more than I thought I would, but I agree, 45 mins shorter would have been better.

Alone In Berlin. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3026488/

Bleak drama, based on a true story, about an ageing Berlin couple who lose their son to the war. They are soon hunted by the Gestapo for writing and distributing postcards around Berlin denouncing the Nazi government.
Great performances from both Emma Thompson and Brendan Gleeson.

Just finished it. Yeah it's bad. The world building could have been cool. Instead you get lazy D&D stereotypes.

Watched Shape Of Water and really liked it. It reminded of La La Land in how it's inspired by a certain era of cinema and how whimsical and delightful it is except this is about a fish guy and a mute girl and La La Land was much more of a traditional love story.Sally Hawkins is fantastic as Elisa, and even though I said Frances McDormand was a lock for best actress a few weeks ago but I'm not so sure now because I think Hawkins' performance was probably my favorite all year. The rest of the cast is great as well, especially Michael Shannon who is basically reprising his menacing god-fearing fed role from Boardwalk Empire.

My only complaint about the movie is that I don't really care much about Fish man. He has zero personality and there's not much about him that's interesting, In the end I don't think that matters much because the movie is about Hawkins' character and she could have fallen in love with a piece of wood and it would have been just as moving.

Got tickets for Lawrence of Arabia tonight at the Egyptian! Last year I was too late and it was sold out. This year it seems to be running for a couple weeks. I've never seen it. I hope my expectations aren't too high.

I just saw The Greatest Showman and I'd give it half of the Oscars right now. One of the best movies I've seen in years and I don't normally care for musicals.

Enjoy the spectacle! It's a little too long, but always great.

:< Someone said it was playing tonight. I bought the first tickets available. We went there. It was closed. :< I mean, I'll be seeing Lawrence of Arabia on Thursday.

The Disaster Artist

James Franco: Played by Dennis Hopper in his greatest role.

Dennis Hopper's Brother: Play by Tom Cruise impersonator, David Franco.

Tom Cruise's friend Tommy: Played, of course, by James Franco, the Star of both movies.

Melanie Griffith and Sharon Stone: Hollywood eye candy.

Coneheads, from France? Nah, Nah Oluns...

Be the best: On Tommy's planet.

I did not: Hit her.

Do it like Shakespeare: but sexy.

Malcolm in the Middle: check.

This is a fun flick. Check it out.

Seeing this flick in no way obligates you to see The Room. I advise you to give it a pass. Instead, feel free to watch this:

War of the Garantuas and Destroy all Monsters for Christmas morning!

WIN!


War of the Gargantuas (Frankenstein returns) is one of the greatest practical special effects movies ever made... the models and fight action are quite spectacular. it's a classic good versus evil story within one family... and evil wins (or at least lives to escape)

Wotg is terrific

mother! was bewildering from the start and only got more so. jfc. throw the audience a bone, darren.

Pitch perfect 3: you either like these movies or you don’t. I love them. It was better than number 2, highly entertaining and medium cringeworthy.

Will be seeing PP3

+1

As a single straight middle age man, I am surprised how much I liked the first two.

I wanna see the third, but don't wanna be known as "that guy" and end up on a list somewhere.

The Greatest Showman

Killer opening: check.

Real dancers: check.

P.T Barnum: Wolverine, dancing and singing.

Freaks: wanted.

Jenny Lind: Pop star.

Young love: Nothing like junior high rope drills.

Freak Flags: Flying.

Pompadours: Poised for a big resurgence.

Model trains: And CGI elephants.

Maybe the best thing I've seen in a long time. Check it out.

Yeah, pretty much this.

I'm going to go see it again.

really??? Huh.

the trailer makes it look horrible.
