    What....?

    I haven't seen this one yet, but I'm dying to. It's such a great story. The one with Winona Ryder and Christian Bale is so good. But it is a little odd to me that they're remaking it yet again especially considering that PBS Masterpiece released a good version last year.
    Yeah, it's true. It just never seemed to get on my radar. I'm interested in seeing the Bale one though.

    You should! It's good and I think you would like it. I was just so surprised when you said you hadn't seen any, because you're such a movie lover.

    The only one I've seen is the one from 1933 with Katharine Hepburn because she is my favorite actress. I've never read the book but always wanted to. I may have to go see this one, it looks pretty good.

    There is something about early January that lends to the release of terrible movies.



    If you were to take a Picasso and photocopy it a couple of times, you end up with a poor, grainy image of a masterpiece. The point is some things shouldn't be copied (remade). Which brings me to my most recent viewing.


    The Grudge:
    A remake of a remake of a Japanese original that was pretty good. The movie makers took a good recipe and ruined it. They turned a gourmet meal into menudo ice cream, and tripe pop-sickles. A few jump-starts, and several very graphic images don't make a cohesive movie. Avoid at all costs!


    1/6 beers on the RFSRS.

    True to a certain extent. What if the original wasn't a Picasso? The Ocean's 11 remake is so much better than the original.

    1917

    A staggering technical triumph. Mendes has taken the simplest of war narratives and turned it into an uncompromising work of art that simultaneously delivers both the intimate moments and large scale horrors of war. The 'single take' technique allows us to live side by side with our dual leads as they traverse a Tartarus like hellscape in pursuit of their mission, while also allowing us to drink in the gorgeous landscapes of a countryside ravaged by engines of destruction. An instant classic and a cornerstone in Mendes' already impressive filmography.

    4.5/5

    Hmmm... a little hard to say right now. It's not a war film in the most traditional sense, it's a more intimate film as we follow the leads throughout most of the movie. The focus isn't so much on the battles as they are on these guys weaving their way in and out of danger.

    Knee jerk reaction? It'll land in my personal top 5 war films. Need to digest everything a bit more.

    Jay And Silent Bob Reboot
    3.5/5

    Enjoyed the cameos of the first one, and a little bit of the humor. Gave the first one a 2.5/5. This one was much better, even a little heartfelt, if that's possible.

    I am seeing 1917 tonight. I just wonder how it compares with Dunkirk. Which is one of my favorite recent war films.

    I thought Dunkirk was an incredible letdown. From my favorite director, no less. 1917 looks to be amazing.

    That movie in theatre (IMAX) was so intense.. the score was so well done. If 1917 is anything like it... I’m super excited. You didn’t like it eh?

    Speaking of IMAX, I really want to see 1917, but I want to wait until it's in IMAX theaters. At the moment near me, Star Wars is still dominating theaters. Due to contract obligations, theaters won't be able to free up an IMAX theater for another week at least.

    1917:
    Cinematic, and technically, the film is a marvel. Shot as if in one single take it astonishes, yet occasionally is distracting. Still, it keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat. Not in my top 10 of greatest war movies of all time, but a very good movie nonetheless. Although based on a true story, a couple of things bothered me
    Spoiler:
    During his journey, one of the soldiers is picked up and transported towards his destination. When the bridge the convoy wanted to cross is discovered to have been destroyed, they leave the soldier to transit the river on his own. They don't even wait to ensure he safely crosses. Thus he ends up facing a sniper. After killing the sniper he is in the ruins of a town/large church and while trying to escape enemy soldiers, he stumbles across a woman hiding (with a large fire going?) who has an orphan infant girl she is trying to safeguard. Of course he has a canteen of milk to give the woman for the baby. Said canteen having been filled at a farm where all but one of the cows had been shot by retreating Germans. Awfully convenient.

    It’s a brilliant film. It’s my second fav to Dark Knight. You didn’t like that one well if memory serves me?

    Dunkirk is my favourite Nolan film.

    There's nothing I'd have love to do more on my birthday than go see 1917, but I promised my friend I'd see it with him.

    And of course my theatre IS STILL SHOWING BLACK FUCKING CHRISTMAS BUT CAN'T SCREEN UNCUT GEMS FUCK
    It’s a brilliant film. It’s my second fav to Dark Knight. You didn’t like that one well if memory serves me?

    All the Batman films are great. It's Inception and Interstellar I don't care for.

    Inception, Interstellar, the Prestige, Dark Knight, and Memento were damn near perfect movies.

    I thought Dunkirk was boring and pointless. "Let's make these uninteresting characters go over ... here. Now let's make these uninteresting characters go over ... here. Repeat."

    I'd take Midway over Dunkirk, and that's saying something. Wait, unless you guys thought Midway was good? I can't tell with you people.

    So me and my friend went to see Little Women last night, but honestly we were both a bit blah about it. Maybe I was just expecting more with all the rave reviews it was getting, but I wasnt impressed by it at all. Which bums me out because I was really looking forward to it.

    They made a few odd choices with the film. First off they start at the end and move backwards via flashbacks. Which I didn't care for because then you know how it's going to end. It was like flipping to the back of a book and reading the conclusion before reading the story. In some instances I can see where that would work if there's still surprises to be had, but I wasn't sure why it was done here.

    Secondly the casting choices for Amy and Laurie didn't work for me. Amy actually looked to be one of the most mature looking girls of the group, yet she is supposed to be the youngest. They also used the same actress for all the scenes where she's supposed to be about 12 years old. Which was weird seeing this grown woman throwing fits like a child does. It made it appear very comical versus realistic. And then we have the casting of Laurie who is the Male lead, yet he looks so young compared to all the girls.

    I don't know, maybe I just expected more from it, but it's nothing I would have about. And I'd rank it at the bottom of the Little Women adaptations I've seen.
    Only the gentle are ever really strong.
