What Movies Are You Watching Lately

frost nixon.

it had it's moments. Its fine. No beed ti rush and see it

Frost/Nixon is a very good film (Michael Sheen is excellent as always) but, being extremely "dialogue-driven" it is a far better watch when one is sober, or at least relatively so.

In that condition, highly recommended viewing.

Just watched The Hated in Netflix. I believe it's new today, but maybe it's been out for a few. It's polish, and really good. The actor playing the main character gives an incredible performance as a psychopath. I encourage everyone to check it out.

Yeah, I liked it too

2011 Coriolanus. Probably Bill S.' most-relevant-to-this-specific-time play. It's free with ads thanks to IMDBtv. That really screws up everything.

Saw film, liked it very much.

Decidedly mediocre comedy/drama. Honestly, not very funny but also pretty boilerplate in its sentimentality. I would not recommend. In particular I wasn't too impressed with some hamfisted or half-baked jokes about social media, our current moment, and being PC. They definitely tried to make some satire about technology and culture that felt very 2020, and I understand the perspective but didn't find the humor very insightful.

Bloodshot.

Vin Diesel wears a tank top and kills bad guys.

Robert Redford dresses very nicely and likes to (politely) rob banks.

 

[King Calder]

Dudes rock

 

[SixOhNine]

Bloodshot.

Vin Diesel wears a tank top and kills bad guys.

In an entertaining way or in an uninteresting way?

I fell asleep watching it so what does that tell you.

It's bad, really bad.

The saying used to be "Ahh Christ, another Christopher Lambert movie"

Now you just insert Vin.

He plays the same character in every movie. Tough guy in a tank top.

 

[King Calder]

Incorrect - in boiler room he plays a tough guy in a suit.

"El hombre de las mil caras (Smoke and Mirrors)", Spain, 2016.
Netflix USA.

Tight cerebral political/financial thriller. Not necessarily a "spy movie" but if you like something like "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" etc you will enjoy this I think.

Excellent acting, fantastic cinematography, very good editing. I do not understand Spanish well enough to catch all the subtleties, but it is easy to follow with subtitles.

3.5/5.0.
