    Re: The Movie Thread: New, Rented, Whatever....I don't care

    Watched Dallas Buyer's Club about a week ago...

    Matthew McConaughey = Oscar

    Jared Leto = Oscar

    I wonder how they'll fare at the Golden Globes this evening?

    DBC = Excellent film, though not nominated for GG.
    NMU Hockey Since 1976 ...there at the beginning.

    Bill Crawford, LSSU radio announcer, on NMU hockey: "This is their MO right to the tee: get out shot, get out played, keep hangin' in there, just rope-a-dope it in your own zone, get it up the ice, bang it in and win the game."

      That is a movie that is definitely on my radar. I've really started to love MM in these smaller/indie movies, and am happy he's doing more of them. And Jared Leto has always been solid.

      My woman had me watch Amelie yesterday. Meh. I don't know whether to like it or not like it. There are good reasons for either feeling. I had her watch House Of Flying Daggers, and she loved that (and it's one of my favorites of that genre).
      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.

I don't remember hearing anything about it really, but it's now free on Amazon Prime. The dialogue all throughout really hit the sweet spot for the cast, I had a bunch of LOL moments watching it which is pretty rare. But it's not comedy.
        Parts of this movie are great, and parts are just dull and boring. It is like the director/screenwriter couldnt decide the tone of the film and cut two versions and spliced them together. The funny parts seem almost out of place with the rest of the movie.

        Did love the ending though

          The Wolf of Wall Street is good, but a bit too long. No surprise, it's Scorsese. I think Leo goes another year with no Oscar. He is good once again, but I don't think it is worthy. I was most impressed with Jonah Hill.

            Just finished watching Blue Jasmine: "Cate Blanchett = Oscar!"

            Fairly powerful film, I thought.

            Last night I watched Hitchcock's Rebecca: Love Joan Fontaine (RIP 15 Dec. 2013).
            She won the Golden Globe last night. My prediction still may come true.

              I didn't like Hill at all. I haven't read the book so I don't know much about the character, but I wasn't impressed, and usually I like him.

              I agree it was too long, by probably an hour. That movie felt like Scorsese decided to just throw Goodfellas and the original Wallstreet, both of which I really liked, into the blender and mix them up.

              I may have to read the book although I have always disliked buying books authored by people who have committed crimes and are now writing about them. But I guess the movie is the same deal, so.

              Also, that movie is a lot dirtier than advertised. Our 19 year old almost went to that movie with my wife and I last night, but she decided to hang with friends. You take the graffic sex and nudity, and the F-bombs out of that movie and you cut it to 47 minutes.
              That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                Well, at 19, she's probably experiencing graphic sex, nudity and f-bombs, all at the same time, first hand. So its not like it would have scarred her.

                It may have been awkward for you, though.
                Having a clear conscience just means you have a bad memory or you had a boring weekend.

                    Watching the last stand in bed on the iPhone last night.

                    Not entirely bad, Mookie enjoyed seeing Arnold again

                      Saw Lone Survivor this weekend. I thought it was a good choice for the big screen...ton of action, some of it difficult to watch. Not really gory but enough injuries, brutal falls, gun shots and close ups of injuries to make people grab the arms of their chairs a few times.
                      I believe in life, and I believe in love, but the world in which I live in keeps trying to prove me wrong.

                        The Last Stand is a great horrible movie. Ah-nold knew what he was doing when he signed on for this.

                          True Grit (original) on some movie channel (Comcast Guide simply says "Movie" for channel, 221 in Minnetonka MN area). Anyway, what a phenomenal movie.

                            The original is great...the remake was mind numbingly horrible!

                            Speaking of horrible...if you ever want to see a movie that actually makes World War 2 EVEN MORE DEPRESSING see the Book Thief. If you dont want to commit suicide from depression dont. I dont know who green lit that film, but they should never be allowed t make movies ever again.

                              Agreed. Wasn't it up for awards too?

                              Bad.

                                I don't think the remake was horrible, but it wasn't as good as people made it out to be.

                                As for depressing movies, I still haven't seen "Leaving Las Vegas" because I just don't want to feel suicidal; so I doubt I'll watch The Book Thief.
