Another srs movie by him? I love it when actors expand their range, he did well in the past one...the one about gambling? This looks good.

Rumor is he could win an Academy Award with this one. We'll see.

Heard that on the news today from KTLA 5 Entertainment Reporter Sam Rubin.

I think it's Sandler's best dramatic performance. Punch Drunk Love was also wonderful.

This looks like it could be good, I'm a fan of Russell Crow though.

Alfisti · 12-21-2023, 09:19 AM

Meh.

I am too.

OK.... Last night I watched this after anticipation for over a year. All I can say is that is absolutely magnificent! The best movie I have seen in 2023.
It may not be for everyone and that's fine. I personally prefer: Fantasy, SciFi, Action, in that order.
Allow me to also say, this type of film is definitely best served on the biggest screen and loudest system you can access! Even if it's a big screen TV and Sound bar.
Anyway.... Just WOW! It surpassed my expectations The best comparison is a combination of Star Wars and Dune. Which I see inspiration from. I can't wait for Chapter 2 coming this April.
Another thing worth mentioning: I recently upgraded my Subwoofer in my Dolby Atmos setup. The Dolby Mix of this movie is astonishing!

Murf the Surf · 12-22-2023, 11:51 AM

This might be a good way to kill a few hours.

tranquility · 12-24-2023, 02:08 AM

I liked to breakwater and dream scenario.

M5Rick · 12-26-2023, 05:10 PM

Did you check out Uncut Gems?
He was really good in it, solid film, definitely 180 degrees from Billy Madison lol

Yup, I think that was the film I was referring-to...

Here's an older film that I watched with my father last night-- we both really enjoyed it. It's a "clever" spy movie with a lot of good interaction between the actors.

"Spy Game" with Robert Redford & Brad Pitt. 2001.

Michael Mann's FERRARI

Deep Water, ya, a bit controversial haha. Great casting choosing Ana, she is SO freaking annoying here but ofc the movie also required someone beautiful for her role. Ok, I'll leave it at that lol.

M5Rick · 12-28-2023, 10:50 AM

The Ten Commandments, great for Christmas.

''Let the hebrews go''!

Saw it either Christmas day, or Tuesday. Definitely can't wait for the next chapter! Predictable theme, yet interesting curves and surprises.

Prediction: somebody important gets killed and Issa brings that person back to life.

Last night as we came into the kitchen my son and girlfriend-in-law were just starting Leave the World Behind. She restarted it, I had nothing better to do, and it was nice to sit with her and share something for a while. Didn't realize until she told me later that it was almost 3 hours we sat there. She obviously had seen it before, and knew to lower the audio at certain points.

I recognized Julia and Ethan pretty quick. She tried to call Ethan Kevin Bacon, and I laughed "Nah, but within 6 degrees" Little did I know then that it was only 2 degrees

Nothing spectacular, some very strange cinematic camera angles, but Julia is still as alluring as ever.
