LA Confidential

Great movie.

Sicario

A bit disappointing. Not a very good story.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It’s the fifth Denis Villeneuve-movie I have seen, and I usually end up disappointed by them. Prisoners is my favorite of the five.

I would have agreed with Anders based on my first viewing but I fell in love with Sicario on a second viewing. Some of the narrative shortcomings (which are definitely annoying) were overcome by the style and the sense of moral shock that Villenueve brought to the material.

I know my girlfriend wants to see it, she was at a party today, so I might see it again. But right now my feeling is that Villeneuve is overhyped. He uses several of the same tricks in every movie.

You’re definitely right about this.

Blunt’s story never really kicked on in the last part of the movie, while Del Toro’s wan’t fleshed out enough to make it really interesting, and then the last scene he had with the drug lord gave me nothing.

The score is brilliant, but maybe I'm biased because I've listened to it 5-6 times in the past week since finding a complete version online.

Saw on a plane:

Serenity: WTF was that??? How can this movie got made with this cast??

Creed 2: well, i fucking enjoyed it. More than part 1. Every scene with Sly was pure poetry.

Can you ever forgive me: Yeah, i liked it. Not a great movie but enjoyable.

Fighting with my family: Mediocre at best, but damn i loved that girl.

Watched Vice on Hulu this weekend. I liked it quite a bit. It was bizarre at times, and at some others difficult to absorb, but I like the tenacity and creativity, and it worked very well, surprisingly. On paper, I probably wouldn't have liked this movie, but it worked very well for me. 8.9308 out of 11.41 teacups.

Join Wick 3. Fun ride. The last twenty minutes was kind of tired, tho. It was Kung fu. Fight on one level, go upstairs, fight on another. Meh.

Toy Story 4 will be my next trip to the cinema.

Jumper I liked, but mostly because I've read the book series. Speaking of which, it's fun how the dude expands the backstory in each subsequent book because it's like reading fan fiction the way things keep going. It's like a retcon in each new book, it's the strangest thing.

Rapture-Palooza was a strange kind of funny. But I totally just lost my train of thought because the writer of this movie did all three Bill & Ted movies and The Goofy Movie.

Remembered my thought: Do you think that the "How Did This Get Made" folk would ever do one of their own movies? Because this was a non-stellar film for a lot of it. The Beast was completely unlikeable - which I totally get, he's supposed to represent Satan - there are still ways to play the character that aren't, well, that. Otherwise the movie was pretty funny but too much of that funny was only because the delivery of lines, not the writing of said lines.

Yeah, but they probably should have spent a bit more time working this one out. It was pretty disappointing

Was Bautista at least good? I've been pleasantly surprised with most things he's done so far in his acting career

Yeah, but he was underutilized.
