What Movies Are You Watching Lately

Torrents, my friend! Hate it or love it!

Special effects heavy stuff I watch in theaters to take full advantage of the screen size + sound system, the rest I can just watch at home.

I go the opposite way. Big SFX with matching sound gives me a headache in a theatre, but is manageable at home. Give me Grace Kelly blown up to 40 feet.

I know too many people in the movie business and can't steal their work.

Caught Birdman last week and REALLY enjoyed it. It had the right touches of cinematic flair, both campy and ridiculously good acting, comedy and drama, and was an experience that I thought about for a day or two afterward. It was also my first movie at the Nitehawk in Williamsburg and I really enjoyed that experience as well. Will definitely be back again. It doesn't hurt that I'm starting to see a girl who lives in that 'hood.

Finally saw Blue Is The Warmest Color. Very good movie. The sex scenes were gratuitous though. A friend described it as a lesbian movie made by a man and therefore lingered far too long in those aspects. I'm not sure I quite agree as that being the reason, but what do I know, as a straight man #privilege

I really enjoyed the Grand Budapest Hotel and this thread reminded me that I still haven't seen The Life Aquatic nor Moonrise Kingdom. I watched Aquatic last night and I'm kinda torn on it. I need to hold off on watching any other Wes Anderson because his style seems to take a while to recover from in order to keep it from feeling stale and overly cute.

Moonrise Kingdom is one of my WA faves. Its glorious in every way.

I think I need to watch Birdman.

What did you think of Walk Among The Tombstones and The Interview?

 

[willy cheesesteak]

@in stitches, if you like tortured cop/ex-cop trying to find retribution by making up for past mistakes stories, you'll probably like it.

The Interview, there were some good laughs, but I enjoyed their previous movie, "This is The End" more.

 

[in stitches]

Cool. Sounds like Ill probably like Walk Among The Tombstones. Is Liam a bad ass and is there some solid fighting/killing?

The Interview sounds like it will be mildly entertaining. I didnt love This Is The End all that much. I think my expectations were too high for how funny it was going to be.

He is a badass in this but not as invincible as they make him seem like in the Taken films.

 

[in stitches]

Sounds awesome.

Same here.

The Interview is decent. Franco did a great job playing a complete idiot, and Kim was awesome.

Very good late 70's feel-good flick set in a small Indiana town. I consider it a top "sports" flick.

Actually was just watching this. I'll have to finish it later

ter1413, I'm gonna have to see that. I liked Rudy, Field of Dreams (one of the best feel good movies I've watched).

My DVR is filled with classic movies. What's the best of the bunch? Miss Sadie Thompson '54, Eddy Duchin Story '56, Midnight Cowboy '69, Funny Face '57, Last Hurrah '58, An Affair to Remember '57, Pal Joey '57, Power and the Glory '33, Roman Holiday '53, Mr North '88, Houseboat 58, Play it Again Sam '72, Anatomy of a Murder '59, or Annie Hall '77?

Any of them not worth the DVR space? I like feel good movies like Its a Wonderful Life, & good suspense drama like North by Northwest. If the film has fashion value or beauties like Grace Kelly that's a big plus! One of them is a Frank Sinatra flick and I liked the original Oceans Eleven.
