It's the only sane thing to do in an insane world.

I'll do anything to see a movie with Zhang Ziyi or a Hammarlund HQ-100 in it. Godzilla appears to have both.

If I'm Vegas on the 31st, I may shuttle over to the Smile Factory for Godzilla and some jammin' limit o8 with my elders.

I can't wait.

Just watched Sarah Polley's Stories We Tell, and it's brilliant. I had seen her Take This Waltz a few years ago and hated it. Stories We Tell takes its place among the best documentaries I've seen.

This really hit me hard when I watched it. Really top notch doc production

One of my all time favourite docs.

This

Stories We Tell is an amazing film.

They lifted the review constraints on those that were fortunate to see Godzilla past week... there is not one bad review. To the contrary, to the reviewer, has been glowing fun and awe.

Fingers crossed.

The first 60 or 70 minutes was as good a Noir film as you get. I'd never seen a Kung Fu Noir movie this old. (Not much kung fu -- mainly knife fights.)

The last 20 minutes was a letdown - mainly because the romance I thought would turn poisonous turned treacly. But still a good watch. The audience reacted to everything in the exact opposite way that I did, which is always a good sign. Check it out.

Watched JW3 Last night Fantastic movie the action and fight scenes are different and some of the best I've ever seen, this is My fav in the series Highly Recommended, was nice 2 be-able to watch it before it comes out . . .

"Experience the Underwater World Through the Eyes of a Free Diver | Short Film Showcase" . . .

John Wick 3 was pretty incredible. The fights are amazingly choreographed, with lots of long takes. It's not all in the editing.

John Wick 3 was just fantastic. Hats off to them for taking a simple formula and knocking it out of the park every damn time.

Aren't there long takes in all three of them? I haven't seen 3 yet, but I remember thinking that the first two had extended takes. I read somewhere that production costs are so high in Hollywood that they don't have the rehearsal budget of a, say, Hong Kong film.

Nice to hear the JW movie is shot with some assemblage of Newtonian physics maintained... it DOES make a difference.

Jw is lightning in a bottle. First one at first I thought was stupid and on re-watch and watching I decided to shut my brain and enjoy the ride and it's really good.
Glad to hear the third is good

Wick 3

It always rains: In New York City!

New York Public Library:
Walt Coogan: Played by John Wick!

Audi TT: One horsepower!

Horse Fu; Comanche Fu!

A girl: and her dog!

Sit!: Jerry Robinson's revenge!

Omar Sharif: Played by Ricardo Montalban!

Sushi Fu; Flip Phone Fu; Laurence Fishburne Fu!

Everything I hoped it would be...

...a masterpiece of a shooter game brought to the screen without the shooter game first! Check it out!

Under the silver lake... interesting movie, over done subtext.

Loved It Follows, so I can't wait to see Under the Silverlake

I just watched JW1 on the weekend and I'm hooked.

I've seen the first two and liked them.

JW3 was really dumb but kinda fun I guess. It’s exactly what it looks like, and not a thing more.

David Ehrlich always has a pretty neat way of presenting his top 25:



By the way, Malick's new film is getting good reviews. For some reason, I missed that he did Song to Song in 2017. Didn't much care for his two before that although they were pretty to look at.

Profile of David Milch still writing/creating new Deadwood in declining health. Perhaps he’s better thought of as a TV writer/producer IDK but great insight as to his creative process.

"Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood gave the film a seven-minute standing ovation at the end of one of the most anticipated screenings at the prestigious festival in recent years."
