Can’t believe we’re getting movies from the Holy Trinity this year and they all releasing around the same time

The holy spirit (Mann),
And the son (Fincher)
Amen. Let us pray.
Amen
By Zabojnik Go To PostI think it's time I finally watch Sorcerer and Thief.Thief is very good, haven't seen Sorcerer yet tho
(irrationally) avoided Sorcerer because Wages of Fear might be my favourite film. Didn't seem right to watch a US remake.

People really trying to see the Dumb Money and the new Taika Waititi that badly? Damn.
Edit: just realized the poetry of a film about the GameStop short squeeze having a ridiculously inflated price on resellers

Skipping around this Flash movie on "MAX" and I can't comprehend how poorly the action is filmed and how fake so much of it looks.
Zaslav or a producer or anyone watching the dailies didn't tell the director to stop with this stupid pan that he keeps reusing?

Ben Affleck’s Batman suit 😂
How does that happen?
By Crusher Go To PostBen Affleck’s Batman suit 😂It looks so weird and it's another thing that has an odd CGI touch up for whatever reason.
How does that happen?

Shieeeeeet
Gonna guess the early reviews are tougher more seasoned critics
Watched Gangs of New York for some reason.
If I didn't know and I was told after watching that this was a Scorsese film I'd tell you to fuck off. I'm not saying it's bad but it's just so fucking underwhelming with the talent involved.
Set design and all that visual jazz is top tier. It's a very pleasant film to look at for sure. Films depicting this era always tend to look a bit dull to me but I would say the film's visuals as a whole were top notch.
DDL was really entertaining but Billy felt like a cartoon character. Di Caprio did not have a lot to work with; Amsterdam is dull as ditch water as a protag. Saying that... he was pretty poor. Totally forgettable.
Reckon it could have been pretty decent if they'd been more ruthless in cutting things. Maybe even entire characters.
3/5. Obviously far from Scorsese's worst (Irishman) but also a huuuuuge gap to his top tier stuff.

It was too early, 10 years later it would have been a series on HBO and worked much better.
Gangs isn't amazing. But it is watchable.
Shutter Island is his shit show. That film stinks from the tenth minute on and is so predictable and boring.
I thought The Irishman was great! Have the Criterion BD and the extras are wonderful to see.

^ GONY is definitely one of Scorsese’s roughest. Shutter Island is a very middling Scorsese, but if an early career director came out with something with that level of tonal control and cinematography we’d all be jizzing over it. Good fun.
Just got out of Oppenheimer. Thought it was sensational. All the talk about it being just a bunch of dudes chatting in rooms really minimises how cinematic it is. Murderer’s row of great performances, superb editing, exceptional score. Murphy was utterly superb. Florence Pugh’s nips were just as good. The Trinity sequence is the most hair-raising sequence on the big screen since the Dune sandworm reveal. Big, big, BIG success. Going from Pfister and Zimmer to HvH and Goransson was great for Nolan.

~43.5 mil for Equalizer 3 over the 4 day weekend. That's a damn good number. The little franchise that could.

loved it.
tad too long, though. after the test, everything feels like one overly long prologue.
also think the pugh scenes felt a bit contrived.
a top three nolan for me: interstellar > oppenheimer > memento.
By RAThasReturned Go To PostDon't watch Shutter Island, watch Shock Corridor.I think I remember watching this on TCM years and years ago. I'll keep an eye out for this disc though because I can't get enough of these Criterion packages.

Definitely loses a bit of momentum post-Trinity, but gets it back in the last twenty or so. Loved when Jason Clarke was interrogating him hard in the room. Murphy is so good in it.
Barbie was really good, very funny, self-aware and way more introspective than I thought it would be.
Top marks, also - Ryan Gosling, killed it in this.
I need a Ken movie ASAP!!

Saw Jurassic Park today in the cinema (seen it tons of times ofc but first time I've seen it on the big screen)
It’s a perfect summer blockbuster with one of the best musical themes in film history. SpielGOAT brought his A game in 1993 with this and Schindler’s List - banger of a year for him

By Dazenheimer Go To Postanyone else take advantage of the 3 quid cinema day?
Yeah, Oppie
That terrifying roaring sound like the planet is about to split in two is just the sound of the Overton window shifting.
Weighing up whether to see Provisional Ira Sach's Passages or Louis Garrel's L'Innocent this evening. Never seen either director's work before.
By Punished Go To PostWeighing up whether to see Provisional Ira Sach's Passages or Louis Garrel's L'Innocent this evening. Never seen either director's work before.Passages is very good.
Went to see the Innocent. It was fine/whatever.
Went for a piss in the middle of it, tripped and smacked my hand off the stair railing. I was seeing stars for about 30 seconds. Can't wait until my consciousness is uploaded to the cloud so this shit stops happening.

It's a good month for retrospectives. Tokyo Story, Dazed and Confused, Stop Making Sense all back on the big screen. Never seen Tokyo Story, it's on Friday. Hope there's babes and kaiju in it.
Also, all the multiplexes showing Batman '89 and Joker next weekend.
