I liked all the things you mentioned--you could see the good along with the bad--it wasn't simplistic. Also, what an ass Bob Hope was. Another thing I loved and inexplicably forgot to note -- how many women were involved in making this film, in positions of power, not just hair and make-up. Written and directed by women, most of the producers were women (including at the executive producer level), it was edited by a woman, cast by a woman, etc. Seeing a list of credits in this vein is like finding a unicorn, and, surprise, when we do somehow find it, it's when the director/executive producer is a woman (Ava DuVernay is vocal on this issue, and as far as I can tell the best at walking the talk in the mainstream, but there are others).

Babalu06 October 12 Share October 12 (edited) I’ve had good luck choosing a few really spectacular movies lately. Wit - a 2001 film based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning play with a bravura performance from Emma Thompson, one of my very favorite actresses. She plays a professor, specializing in the works of John Donne, who has been diagnosed with terminal ovarian cancer. Probably 80-90% of the movie is her, sometimes interacting with supporting actors but often in monologue. Streaming on MAX. Inherit the Wind - wow. I’d heard of this classic based on the Scopes trial, of course, but it hadn’t really been on my radar to watch until a friend recommended it. Spencer Tracy is magnificent, and the theme is very resonant in our current science vs. conservative Christianity climate. Streaming on Tubi and Pluto. The Gardener - documentary about Frank Cabot and the gardens he designed at his family estate in Quebec. Just gorgeous physically and spiritually. Streaming on Prime.

Spartan Girl October 18 Share October 18 Edward Scissorhands has been on a bunch of times lately, so out of curiosity I looked up the original screenplay on the internet and was amazed to discover that Edward originally had way more lines. Cutting them was probably for the best because this was definitely a case where less was more. The timid reticence was what made that performance work. The climax in the script was more ridiculously melodramatic than it turned out in the movie and even Peg turns on Edward because she’s upset that no one comes to the stupid Christmas party. Again, Burton was smart to change this to that sad scene in the movie where she reflects that taking Edward in without thinking about how it would affect him as well as the family. Anyway, I still have a soft spot for this movie despite…reasons. Not to mention the fact that, as @Wiendish Fitch and I stated in another thread, Kim actually sucks and the so-called romance is too rushed to be believable. You could argue the same for Nightmare Before Christmas, but no, even that Burton movie romance was more believable because it was implied that Jack cared for Sally, he was just oblivious to how deep they ran until the end. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114737-filmnight-movies-you-watched-recently/page/15/#findComment-8483543

There wasn't anything complex about the movie, yet Anna managed to make it terrifying. I had to cover my eyes twice: during the parking lot scene and when he asked the girl to turn her face up to the sun. I thought the actor who played the killer was good, too. The way he was able to turn the charm into anger with just a facial expression? Creepy. I was a little distracted during the scene where the police visited him, so I'm not sure if I missed something. He was going to take pictures of the young man that worked there, but the guy started getting freaked out when he saw the picture of the young girl and even more so when the cops came, so he canceled the shoot. Is that all there was to it? It looked to me like the killer would have killed him if he went through with it. I looked up the real details of what happened and the woman who recognized him was an amalgam representing all the of times that people tried to get the cops to look further into him but were ignored. I thought that was great idea for a character. Overall, I'd say it was a strong directorial debut for Anna Kendrick. 3 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114737-filmnight-movies-you-watched-recently/page/15/#findComment-8491248

I’m not sure what your hesitations are, but I can say that it’s not really violent or gory or jump-scare-y. It’s about a serial killer but it’s also about what women go through to be safe and to be believed. In that vein it’s very aggravating so I understand that could be triggering in its own way.

Rushmoras November 3 Author Share November 3 Well, it's been quite a while since my last post here. Finally had the time, the mood and the patience to watch a movie, and decided to continue with Akira Kurosawa. This time, I watched his 1949 movie called "Stray Dog", about a rookie homicide officer that got his service pistol stolen en route to work. In this movie, the main character is plagued by heavy conscience for crimes committed with his gun. All in all, I guess this was a pretty decent Kurosawa movie (thinking that he finally got his groove with countless of so-so movies that were back then IIRC a subject of censorship), however, as with most Kurosawa films, to me it was simply too long; I mean, there is a scene, in which a policeman is calling someone, and it takes them like a minute to decide whether to answer or not. And these kinds of scenes that serve no purpose are all over the place... 7/10. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114737-filmnight-movies-you-watched-recently/page/15/#findComment-8497890

I missed the humor, although I normally prefer more serious versus more comedic stories, of the earlier two movies not counting the Captain D'Artagan movie years. And the modern quick cuts and night scenes for the fights also seem sub par compared to my favorite production of the story.

Anduin December 4 Share December 4 Lucy, written and directed by Luc Besson, starring Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman. Basically, she gets kidnapped by some drug dealers looking to move their product overseas. A package is put in her stomach. But it breaks and supercharges her brain. Freeman is some flavour of evolutionary or brain scientist repeating the 'you only use ten percent of your brain' myth. We use different parts of the whole brain at different times! If we didn't use 90 percent, I bet it and our skulls would shrink! Anyway, action scenes and pseudoscience ensue. There's a fun multi-car pileup that looks practical. No shame in that department.

It doesn’t escape me that in today’s “eat the rich” mentality, reviews today would probably say “screw that kid,” while missing the point that he and his family used their wealth to actually help people and were very well liked because of it. I still miss Edward Hermann. His reaction to Van Dough demanding why they didn’t have any gold in their treasure vault was priceless: “It’s in BANKS. Where else?” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/114737-filmnight-movies-you-watched-recently/page/15/#findComment-8527593
Shannon L. December 8 Share December 8 (edited) I watched Twisters last night and it's so much better than the first one. It's not a great movie, but the acting, dialog and story are much better--no matter how unrealistic most of it is. The storyline isn't much different, except that it was more about the science than the trauma. There were also a few moments that, of course, referenced the first one (ex. "I'm not back"). I'll admit that the first half was starting to annoy me, but then everything balanced out in the second half, and I felt much better about where the characters and the story was going. Overall, I put it on the list of some of the better summer movies that have come out over the years.
