Little Women (2019). Good film, but not sure if I like it more than the '94 version.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I was pretty underwhelmed by this one. Driver was good but the material really lagged in the second half and the kind of all glory to good oversight ending rang pretty fucking hollow.VinylGuy wrote:The Report.
Well, Adam Driver is always a force. The movie is alright, its a good political thriller but im kinda fed up with the whole ¨CIA- FBI saving the world¨ shit.
Its still a compelling movie.

Re: What movies are you watching?
I liked it but it also clearly did not deserve best picture/best director. Also the Odenkirk casting/costuming was awful.VinylGuy wrote:I dont remember the 94 version. This one, i liked it a lot.darth_vedder wrote:Little Women (2019). Good film, but not sure if I like it more than the '94 version.

Re: What movies are you watching?
We’ve been doing a rewatch of the Coen Bros filmography. I was pretty surprised the other night to feel that Miller’s Crossing wasn’t the gripping masterpiece I remembered. Maybe I was in the wrong headspace that night, but meh.

1917 was good, but I was still a tad underwhelmed. I guess it didn't feel realistic enough.
The newest Halloween movie was absolute garbage.

I watched Barton Fink for the first time the other day. I liked it (I think). Someone smarter than me would need to explain what it all means. John Goodman was great. (was he the devil?)

Re: What movies are you watching?
There are few movies that I've craved outside thoughts/opinions about less than Barton Fink. It is perfect. And other people's interpretations could only lessen what I got from it. I don't even want to hear the Coens talk about it.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:that one definitely took another viewing and some online articlesFarmer John wrote:I watched Barton Fink for the first time the other day.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Young Adult is by far the least of the Jason Reitman films that I've seen. I think I'm ready to just say that I don't think Diablo Cody is a very good writer. She has wonderful and interesting ideas but can't ever seem to fully get there.
But thank every god imaginable for Charlize Theron.
