The Suicide Squad. Terrible. Turned it off with about 45 minutes left. I have no idea how this has solid reviews.

Totally agree and I have a AMC pass. I see everything mostly. OMG that movie sucked.

Saw "RESPECT" yesterday , amazing. Hudson did an excellent job. I can see an Oscar nod coming her way.

Last films I seen of his were The Gentlemen & Man From Uncle and I gotta say I thought both were great actually, but Wrath was just a lackluster mediocre effort.

Pretty much agree, dunno if we'll see an Uncle sequel soon btw, what with that whole Armie Hammer thing...

+1000, The Wailing puts every other horror movie that has come out in the last 20 years to shame. Good review too, the “wearing down” is exactly how I felt.

Out of curiousity I looked up best horror films of the century, imdb has:

1. Wailing
2. 28 Days Later
3. Let the Right One In

which is in my opinion the perfect top 3, in that order

The Wailing was easily the best Horror film of 2016 for me and is still one of the best in the past 20 years. Its conclusion resonated with me long after the credits rolled. amazing film. South Korea has been knocking 'em outa the park the past few years. I highly recommend I Saw the Devil(2010) to anyone who likes Korean cinema, it's another masterpiece and one of the best revenge movies ever made, for me.



Full film available free on youtube on 1080 blu ray rip

I Saw the Devil was quite effective, but, for me, unnecessarily explicitly gory.

Best horror film out of Asia for me is the Japanese Cure, from 1997. I could barely breathe watching it....and that ending!

Ya, I don't get it. It's almost a perfectly crafted movie from start to finish. When you re-watch it there are so many seemingly innocuous tidbits that show how meticulously this movie was made.

Watched it again tonight with some friends, they had never heard of it either and all loved it.

I caught Klute the other night on TCM, just a fantastic 70s film all the way around. I think it might even be one of my very favorite movies evaa, top 15 or something like that. No, let's go top 13!

American Graffiti What a fun movie to watch.

I haven't seen this in probably 20 years, but unlike most movies I come back to, I remembered every detail. It has really stuck with me.

Crazy to see all of those stars that look SO young.

Both klute and American graffiti are exceptional... I love both films.

Watched Godard's Vivre sa vie last night. Completely and utterly absorbing story of a woman who becomes a prostitute. Anna Karina, Godard's wife at the time, plays the girl, and she luminous when she dances in a poolhall and tragic as she watches Dryer's The Passion of Joan of Arc.

I avoided this for far too long. Brilliant film.

Sword Of Trust, Lynn Shelton's last film...this is pretty damn great...all character and meandering story about how the South really won the Civil War. Marc Maron and Mikaela Watkins star...a funny shaggy dog story.

In before zee comes along to explain it's not pool, it's billiards.

Revenge must be a big seller in Korea. Two movies I really liked were Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Lady Vengeance; both unique in their own way and both very well done. They may be of the Revenge-is-futile-in-the-long-run School, but then again, maybe not, and have been recommended on this forum by leet posters. They're currently available on some of the free streaming services.

Yes, Phat. Music by Michel Legrand composed for the scene.

Last night's movie was Paterson, another film I put off watching for too long. I forgot how much I liked Jarmusch's films, having seen his earlier stuff in theaters years ago. Paterson is about a poetry writing bus driver and his wife who loves him, his poetry, and everything in black and white, quite literally. It's a meditation on work, dreams, and time, I think, and features some gorgeous dissolves throughout.

One of Jarmusch's best, simple and affecting.

the ending is to DIE FOR in that film... when the dog (mans best friend) ended up eating his life's work, I completely lost it... it even makes me cry right now. it's so over the top poignant.

Then Masatoshi Nagase (also from mystery train) showed up to give Patterson the EMPTY journal, I found it a stunning way to message a sleeping audience... tops for sure.

I saw this in a theater. When Nagase showed up, I knew I had seen him before* but couldn't get him in from the edge of my mind. It was perfect.

Also, earlier, Wu Tang sends a field rep (Method Man) to work on *his* stuff in the laundromat.

Perfect flick, but reviews here seemed highly polarized.

Love Paterson, perfect Sunday morning movie.

Speaking of Wu Tang, The Man with the Iron Fists (2012) is a guilty pleasure of mine. An entertaining blast through and through.

I loved all of it. The two sets of twins. The wife dreaming of having twins. Paterson talking with the young girl poet he wants to safeguard. The bar scenes. The way those dreamy dissolves seemed to convey that notion of the fourth dimension of time mentioned in one poem. I even liked Ron Padgett's poetry. It also helps that I've read almost all of W.C. Williams's stuff, including Paterson.

I did think the copy of Infinite Jest placed on the bench was a little off. I would have preferred Pound's Cantos, but that's a minor quibble.

Years ago during an Austin film festival, I walked into a lecture about the old Shaw Brothers films. The lecturer, who I assumed was a college professor, was talking about 8-Diagram Pole Fighter, my all-time favorite. Turns out it was Rza. He knows his ****.

I haven't seen any of the sequels, but the first was great.

^yeap, an amazing scene.

^For people unaware Paul Lawrence Dunbar was a great American poet who wrote ‘We Wear the Mask’ (1895) about racial issues. That may be an attempt at a rap version of it.

I watched Paterson last night with few expectations. It took me awhile to realize that that the overall plot is unimportant. Nothing especially dramatic happens. Very relaxing. It is all about a love of poetry and "imagism" . The way to enjoy it is to pay attention to the images and to the words. Observation is the key. Watching it made me try to write a poem about my cat but he wouldn't hold still. Grade A.

“A man is indeed a city, and for the poet there are no ideas but in things.”
– William Carlos Williams, Paterson

Tonight's movie was Red River. If every American film is about the happy resolution of Odeipus, then Red River is the ne plus ultra. Brilliant Howard Hawks' film, and how the hell did they film that stampede?
