That’s a nice review Tommy. I think I’ll skip both those movies. That saves about 4 hours of my life.
I think they are worth watching on a lazy afternoon when you don’t have anything else to do
Snowden was decent, it gave me a different perspective and made me dig deeper into the issue.
Anyone going to watch the Great Wall starring Damon when it comes out?
Look, I love Andy Lau. I am NOT watching that, until it comes down on TV.
Tunnel. I want to see more Korean fare on local screens.
Oh and the second part of the Japanese midnight diner series. That was so heartwarming.
I am facing enough trepidation with See you tomorrow -AKA The Ferryman. Taiwanese audiences are turned off by the “Mainland feel” of the movie. And yes, even with Wong Kar/wai’s signature cinematography, it feels… odd, but that piece about office workers with Sylvia Chang and Chow Yun-fat -a musical, set in a Chinese office setting- was also an initial yuck and it was actually pretty good, so I hope I may be wrong. For Takeshi Kaneshiro’s sake.
The one we all shouldn’t miss is Silence, by Martin Scorcese. Not only because it was filmed in Taiwan. It smells good. Quality stuff. It was shot in 35mm, for Cecil B. DeMille’s sake.

Speaking of Scorsese’s film:
Saw See you tomorrow AKA The Ferryman. It was mostly funny and enjoyable. They did try too hard to make the slapstick stick, plus you do feel the inexperience of the director, but the story is solid and entertaining. Me and the rest of the audience did laugh and that is the point of a comedy. Of course photography was impecable.
I think ther eis a lot of criticism because people expect another 2046, but this is not a Wong Kar Wai film. He is a producer and consultant. This is not an epic like Grandmaster nor a stab to the heart like In the mood for love. Overall, it is a comedy. It aims to be light and fun. This director put his own buding style in. And the actors are playing complex, interesting characters, that have a quirky, poignant reveal.
Personally, I am quite happy that my favorite actor, Mr. Takeshi Kaneshiro, is not playing a character that dies horribly, say pummeled to death then strangled, dismembered by horses and skinned and/or stabbed and drowned in icy waters.
I don’t enjoy watching movies much these days but I watched all entire first season of Westworld and it’s the biggest overhyped crapola ever. I don’t know why sensible people are raging about it so much. It’s absolutely pointless and useless.
Grease followed by Back to the Future on Cinemax. A good day to be a bit sick.
Bite your freaking tongue.
I did lose interest inside of a few episodes of the second season though.
Hit Me Anyone One More Time (2019) - Japanese comedy. Man wakes up with amnesia to find out he’s the worst prime minister of all time.
Tazza: One-Eyed Jacks (2019) - Korean crime film. Poker player joins a team of swindlers to pull off a con.
Only got to watch these thanks to EVA.
The last of the Mohicans (1992).
It’s really nice with smart tv here in Calif
Just say Alexa play such and such a movie and it will find Netflix or some other app that currently has the movie either free or for a fee or with ads
So I been watching a few now that I’m grounded due to my bike injury
Just watched Rain Man again
What an incredible movie and Dustin Hofmann and Tom Cruise were really great
If you have not watched it you should and if you have may be worth another viewing
Great movie but very depressing for the soul
For some reason came across an article about how Maria Schneider was talking about how her career was finished after acting with Marlon Brando, in last tango in Paris, where she was basically ass fucked on screen, and that was too risque for the French audience of the time and it really instead of helping her acting career sort of cast her in a bad light and her life after that movie became pretty much a mess
And how Brando pretty much got all the credit and she never got recognition for the actress that she was in the movie so since I have the ability to call up some movies on my TV I decided to call up last tango in Paris cause I’m not sure if actually ever seen it but honestly, I can’t watch it through. I find it freaking fucking boring Couple scenes where she’s naked and she looks OK but you know maybe the movie was just a fucking movie of the time or maybe it had some artistic value I don’t know has any of you watched it? What do you think of it?
The theme song was good
Like the Emmauelle movies of basically soft porn and the story of O
Which I never watched but my boss called
It just a fucking movie
Music was incredible
From
Both those though
Anyone watched them? Amy value ?
I couldn’t sit through Last Tango
Did anyone see Mortal Kombat?
I just did and thought it did justice to the games and wrote a good story.
It was…outstanding!
What did you think?
