The Grand Budapest Hotel may be the most Wes Anderson thing to ever Wes Anderson. Every movie he has done definitely has his signature on it but this one seems to be even more if you follow me. That said, it is very good. Good dialogue and acting of course and great cinematography and style. Ralph Fiennes was very good.Comment

I saw the trailer, and said to myself: I have already seen this movie. 3 times or so, in fact. FTR, I was completely bored with The Darjeeling Unlimited.Originally posted by Proud2baLaker View Post
Bottle Rocket was decent, Royal Tenenbaums was brilliant, Life Aquatic was passable.
I have zero interest in this new one.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

It was funny seeing the trailer last fall right after SNL had the "Midnight Coterie of Sinister Intruders" spoof. It was hard to tell if it was real or not at first.Originally posted by Brenthoven View Post

Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care
Saw it last weekend. I liked it (as in "it had its moments"), but I didn't think it was uproariously funny, which given that it's a "dramadey", I guess is to be expected. I thought the CGI scenes were a bit too obvious. Ralph Fiennes really ends up carrying the film.Originally posted by Proud2baLaker View Post

I have it at home to watch when I have the time... and remember to think about it.

Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care
Mud is really good, IMO. Matt McC does a fine job. IMO, as long as he sticks to these non-blockbuster movies, he's really friggin' good (Wolf Of Wall Street the exception to that: he was great in it).Never really developed a taste for tequila.

Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care
I got a kick out of seeing some underutilized and not terribly familiar actors (outside of McC, not many of them are household names, but almost all of them have had very memorable roles in other places). In particular, I was amused by the notion that Mud served as an audition tape for the role of Kendal Crowe.
One of the more amusing (and very meta) aspects of the film was Mud referring to his shirt as one of his most important weapons.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care
Saw Lawless yesterday. Now I'm one who would pretty much throw a bottle at the screen just having to look at Shia Lebeouf, but I'm becoming a huge Tom Hardy fan so I had to watch it. And he was terrific. Jason Clarke and Guy Pearce as well. Plus, screenplay by Nick Cave, and score by him and Warren Ellis, so I'm good.
And all you need to know of the greatness of Nick cave and Warren Ellis is right here.

Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care
I didn't care for Lawless - thought it was cliche ridden and Guy Pearce played an over the top caricature.
Mud was fantastic.

Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care
I liked Lawless, and I also hate Shia with a passion, although he did very well in this movie. Pearce was a bit over the top, though, I agree with that.
EODS: I knew Kendal looked familiar! Couldn't place him, and never thought to check IMDB.Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care
The basic storyline was pretty generic and cliche,. but the screenplay was quite good, boosted by some good performances. I thought Shia was the weak link in the whole thing, and enjoyed Pearce's performance, over the top or no. But Tom Hardy was terrific.

Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care
I thought the movie was long and completely overdone. The first half is brilliant and was loving all of it but then it draaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaged on after that and just kept getting worse. I turned it off with a half hour to go and doubt I will every see the full thing.Originally posted by Brenthoven View Post
I love Scorsese and he usually is brilliant at walking the line between too much and just perfect but this time he just goes on too far. The stupid scene after they take the Lemon was brutal. The scene could have lasted 10 seconds instead of the 5 minutes or so it droned on for and ultimately it had no real purpose except to show him being arrested for nothing and let go. Scorsese could have cut 45 minutes from the movie and probably won the Oscar...
Hill was fine at points, Leo was pretty great though he did nothing he hasnt done before and Reiner was funny. The rest of the cast was "eh" and honestly the story was all over the flipping place."It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."
