What movies are you watching?

[Biff Pocoroba]

Nightcrawler.
I liked it but not as much as I expected. Jake Gylenhaal's never been one of my favorites. His character is not likeable. While that's not a bad thing necessarily I never felt a connection with him. It's a slow build. The best part is a great, tense sequence late but I didn't like the ending. I'm sure there's some nuances and subtleties I would pick up on watching a second time but I'm not in a big hurry to do so.

Spy. I laughed

I didn't think we were supposed to like him. I didn't. That's kind of what I liked about the movie. He was a sleaze.

Watched Bound last night. Super impressive style. Very confident, especially for a debut. I wish the Wachowskis had never become successful, because they immediately lost their minds after The Matrix. I wish they had kept on making modestly budgeted genre movies.

Last 5:

-Puppet Master (1989)
-The Warrior (2001) (Randomly stumbled upon this while perusing Netflix and watched it on a whim. What a great surprise. Irrfan Khan is awesome.)
-Bound (2015)
-Cat Run (2011)
-Bound (1996)

Nightcrawler was pretty fantastic. The lead character was written and performed perfectly, and while it has a dark perspective for sure, it goes all in and it really works. Very well done.

[Rangi Guy]

The Bourne Legacy - I liked it better this time through a lot more than when I first watched it

[BurtReynolds]

never heard of this. Must seek it out and consume it.

[LoathedVermin72]

I'm listening to the audio of Godzilla '98 on headphones at work.

[LoathedVermin72]

Rewatching We were Soldiers for the first time since it came out back in 2002. This movie is insane.

[Rangi Guy]

Big Trouble in Little China - had never watched this before for some reason

Also watched Single Video Theory last night for the first time in maybe 10 years

[LoathedVermin72]

The electricity of Mel Gibson and Barry Pepper (tearfully!) conversing in the same scene is almost too much to handle.

Good movie

[LoathedVermin72]

I...wasn't a fan. But Gibson and Pepper were great.

Now I'm watching The Passion of the Christ (also for the first time since it came out). I think I love it.
