I just did a re-watch of Suicide Squad... I found the re-watch almost unbearable. I enjoyed it much more in the theater.. perhaps because it was the theater and movies are just better on the big screen. I did however like the Joker more and more. I LOVE his laugh and think with a better director he could really shine!

I found the first watch through unbearable. You are a better man then me to rough out a second watch

This happens to me sometimes. I watch a movie and I enjoy it or am unsure how I feel, and the second watch allows me to look at it more objectively. Sometimes you're so busy taking it in the first watch it's really easy to miss a bunch of pros/cons.

Star Wars.... Rogue One was so well done. Totally enjoyed it. That last scene though.... still got goosebumps! Solid 9/10 for me!

Just got back from La La Land. Had never heard of it until I saw a preview Wednesday prior to my viewing of Nocturnal Animals. I haven't seen too many musicals, but the ones I have seen, I've really liked. Plus, I've always liked Emma Stone. There just something about her...

Anyway, I figured La La Land was a good candidate for a "take the wife with me" movie, which is a rare thing indeed. I really, really enjoyed it. 4 or 4.5 out of 5. My wife liked it also, though wished it had ended differently. I was satisfied with how it ended.

Spoiler:

Sometimes "bittersweet" is better than "Wow! Everything just worked out so perfectly!"

Although the movie is based on music as the main theme, it's not chock full of musical numbers. There are a couple of "big musical production" set pieces, but most of the "musical spectacle" is rather understated. It works very well, given the way the movie develops.

I'll definitely put this one on my DVD shelf once it gets released.

I can watch either Nocturnal Animals or Manchester by the Sea this weekend...

Which should I watch?

I know it's probably too late, but I would have said Manchester.

"Why Him"


Why me? There were perhaps 10 funny things in the entire movie, and every one of the scenes were in previews/TV ads.
You know a comedy is likely to be a flop when before it's released, they pimp it and spoil what few funny parts there are.

1/6 Beers on the RFSRS

Schindler's List was funnier...

This is Bryan Cranston reading your review and realizing he got your money anyways

[Mattrick]

Schindler's List IS funny

I LOVED Nocturnal Animals. Can't say you should see it instead of Manchester By The Sea...I think I wanted to see Manchester more, but anytime I get to see Amy Adams, Gyllenhaal or Shannon on the big screen, I take it. I'm not as emotionally attached to Casey Affleck or Michelle Williams. I think Nocturnal Animals has a certain something something that benefits from the big screen and the loud speakers.

Nocturnal Animals is one of the more visually beautiful films of the year for sure. I enjoyed Manchester more though. Affleck gives a career best performance.

Inferno was bad. Don't watch it. (1/4)

Nocturnal was awesome... ending left me wanting more though!

You only ever watched it for the shower scene...

[Sai Sheb]

I just watched "shark in Venice" one of the funniest films ever... even when the shark bites off a limb that grows back in the next scene... great!!

Viewed "Fences" yesterday. Powerful performances by several actors-obviously Denzel Washington. Staying faithful to the play does result in several scenes that were much too long, and the movie tends to overuse baseball analogies.
5/6 beers on the RFSRS.

Comments on audience

I purposely chose a 10 am showing so the theater wouldn't be crowded. Nonetheless several different people felt compelled to talk to/comment at the movie screen. Very annoying. I can't imagine such a thing would happen at a live theater performance.

We saw LION last night -- Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire) and Nicole Kidman. About a 4-5 year old boy who accidentally gets stuck on a train and goes 1500 km to Calcutta, hopelessly lost, can't even remember the place he came from. Eventually he's adopted by a family in Australia. 20-some years later, he uses Google Earth to try to find his family. A nice, feel-good movie with some moments of child-in-danger and some of Dev Patel's best acting. You don't find out what the title refers to until just before the credits start.

Amy Adams is my celebrity crush so I have to watch Nocturnal Animals anyway.

[Mattrick]

She's mine, Fernie. Mine.

Took the family to Rogue One last night. Loved it. Right up there with the best of the Star Wars movies.

Viewed "La La land" yesterday. I am not a fan of musicals, but wanted to see what seems to be a highly regarded movie.
I almost walked out 1 hour into the movie. I appreciated the music and the dancing, but was bored stiff. Just after the 1 hour mark, the Jazz and the story grabbed me a bit. Very predictable movie as far as boy meets girl, dislike each other, fall in love, then break up, etc. Still it became enjoyable. The last ~5-10 minutes where not a word was spoken were a great whirlwind.

3/6 beers on the RFSRS (would have been zero had I walked out).

She's smokin' in Animals. Completely opposite of Arrival where she wore almost no makeup.

Amy Adams is very compelling.
In Nocturnal Animals she looks like a hot woman at midnight (2am).
In Arrival she looks like the same woman at 7am sans makeup and intoxication.

I think both versions are very beautiful.

Just watched Cafe Society. I've been a Woody Allen fan for as long as I can remember. Once again, I was not disappointed. Really enjoyed it. 8/10.

Manchester by the Sea -- powerful filmmaking. Solid A.
