What Movies Are You Watching Lately

Water table issue?

I caught this last night. Ending was "...!"

I saw Lone Star in the theater years ago. My memory of it is very non-specific, but I recall enjoying it.

I remember renting this back in the day all excited thinking it was a movie version of the James McLure one act play. What a bummer it turned out to be.

Finally watched Joker. Good flick.

I saw Lonestar years ago in the theater with no knowledge of what it was about going into it. I really enjoyed it; damn good cast, too. I should probably rewatch it one of these days.

Yeah, it seemed like it was good but I was expecting a redneck comedy hour thinking it was based off the play of the same name.

If you liked Panos Cosmatos' first film Beyond the Black Rainbow, you might enjoy this one too:

They are both awesome and delightfully unique, with great use of synth soundtracks.

On one hand Cosmatos junior should make more movies, on the other, I'm not sure the world is ready for more than one of these every six years or so.

Holy balls, what is this?

New movies?

EDIT: new movie. I forget I have Google. This looks really cool.

You should see Color out of space.

Really looking forward to that. I’m a huge Lovecraft fan and that’s one of my favorite stories.

not sure how I feel about Nicholas Cage being in it, though: “Mandy” was a mess, and it’s some of his best work in years.

Indeed.
It has been a long time since I can recall a Cage performance being even just decent, let alone actually compelling and interesting.

Maybe in this genre, I don't know...but he has delivered such complete crap consistently for well over a decade that it is difficult to feel enthused at all about anything with his name on it now.

This was worth a trip to the cinema:

This was supposed to be a flop by Billy Wilder, but I haven't watched a Billy Wilder movie I didn't like yet. It's no Double Indemnity or Ace in the Hole which are to me absolute masterpieces, but it's a funny and cynnical sex comedy. On the one hand its full of 50s morals, on the other it sort of ridicules them. Weird but good flick from Billy Wilder(watching Kim Novak and Felicia Farr in sexy clothes doesn't hurt either).

#93 SILVERADO (1985)

Kevin Kline
Danny Glover
Scott Glenn
BRIAN DENNEHY!
Jeff Goldblum
Rosanna Arquette
John Cleese?!
That guy from Major League (“Give him the heater...”)
Lynne Whitfield
Jeff Fahey
The little woman from Dune
That big guy from Blade Runner (“What’s a tortoise?”)
The girlfriend from Better Off Dead
The dad from Six Feet Under
The guy who played Jason Vorhees

...and some likable unknown named Kevin Costner star in: Silverado.

And if that ain’t enough to make you want to see it, well, pardner, then I reckon’ you’ve got a hole in your soul — a Silverado-sized hole.

Let film critics debate The Searchers. This is hands down the *best* western ever made. Everyone is at their peak. Peak Glover. Peak Dennehy. Hell, it’s peak Costner, and I think this was his first proper movie role. The plot is pretty simple: some amiable good guys (Kline, Costner) and some earnest good guys (Glenn, Glover) run afoul of a local gang backed by a corrupt sheriff (Dennehy). There’s gun slinging, horse thieving, saloon diving, women slapping, gun butting, a sinister Jeff Goldblum, and something like an eight way bromance to wind its way into your heart.

If you can’t see this when you are eight, see it now.

^ I didn't realise that Kevin Kline and John Cleese starred in more than one movie together ("A Fish Called Wanda" - they were fantastic in that film). In fact, I don't remember Cleese being in Silverado at all but, then again, it did come out quite a while ago. I'll have to see if I can watch it again.
