We just disagree philosophically. I don't think there's more room for originality by making arthouse movies or making movies for arthouse audiences as opposed to genre stuff. I'm of the belief that nothing is really original, and a genre director can just as easily have a personal or unique style as any other director.
... and "arthouse" is such an idiotic term, too bad it has to say something though ...
I don?t remember: have you seen the films of S. Craig Zahler?
Where the Money Is (2000) - 6/10Just relax and watch Newman.
The Apartment (Billy Wilder, 1960) 7.5/10After a slow, repetitive and somewhat corny start, the film gets really better. Great fast paced dialogues, cool characters that are brought to life by very good performances and gorgeous cinematography. I really don't care about the numerous plot holes: it's a wonderful script. I like how the subplots are tied together and the way everything is (un)resolved.
And as you mentioned Hossein's Cemetery without Crosses, everybody worth being here should have watched that one long ago.
I liked Bone Tomahawk quite a bit and I've been meaning to watch Brawl in Cell Block 99 for a couple years now and have access to it.
I just saw this, and I'd give it an 8.5/10 (which is probably equivalent to your 7.5/10 anyway )Jack Lemmon is absolutely spectacular. All the cast is good.
Austin Powers Trilogy (1997, 1999, 2003) - 7/10Some horribly aged comedy, but a defining staple of late 90's early 00's pop culture that was a fun revisit. It's fun to watch how BIG these movies really got in terms of cameos and budget through each one, before character comedy dipped off the face of the planet.
Austin Powers gets an 11/10Richard Jewell is SHIT
I thought you hated comedy?
I just saw the movie on iTunes.It's decent, but I wish Clint would go back to when Hollywood was the "Dream Factory" and drop his obsession with these real-life hero stories. The only great one was American Sniper. His four movies since then: Sully was mediocre, The 15:17 to Paris was absolute shit, The Mule, which is not actually a "hero" story but is a real-life story, is decent, as is Richard Jewell, but Clint is capable of so much more than decent. He is capable of greatness.
Richard Jewell is SHIT
Which one is a lie?
The second one is a lie. I reacted that way because of RR?s too-positive review of the movie It?s not shit. But it?s not very good
but Ive... never seen Richard Jewell...One thing we can certainly agree on, drink, is that 15:17 to Paris is fucking terrible
