Since I have seen everything new, went back a few years to one of my favorites. No Country For Old Men. Never gets old. What a great movie. Outstanding performances all over. Plot great. Just A Cohen monster!

That said, since the super snow storm is apparently coming to me here in Jersey (believe it when I see it, not that is matters). Got my Stella (got a case Prog Snob, Staten aint far lol), Stoli, and Chivas and just cause I feel like it, going to smoke brisket, ribs and pork butt on Saturday in the snow for the games Sunday. Figure a Saturday of my annual LOTR trilogy. Already got the neighbors kids paid $100 to shovel (long drive way and my 48 year old ass just does not feel like doing it) either way snow or not. I aint moving till Monday.

Maybe I should put this on the list too.

Dude You will love No Country. And Good Will Hunting. A Masterpiece. Amazing the screenplay was written by Affleck and Damon a an early age. Williams is great as the rest are too. Check out No Country. A bit violent, but a well done movie

Good Will Hunting is a top 5 movie for me.

M. Night Shyamalan's The Visit. Uber-creepy. Hopefully a return to form.

I really loved this film. The fusion of comedy and horror was absolutely perfect.

I watched Eyes Wide Shut last night. Like most of Kubrick's movies, it was unsettling and I'm not quite sure what to make of it.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1548 on:** January 24, 2016, 02:21:29 PM »

Since we have been snowed in, we have re-watched Inside Out and the extended versions of Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers.

Sacul · « **Reply #1549 on:** January 24, 2016, 03:10:30 PM »

Inglorious Bastards. It was good, but out of the Tarantino movies I've watched so far, it's the second weakest imo. I'll get to Jackie Brown soon.

Onno · « **Reply #1550 on:** January 25, 2016, 03:58:48 AM »

That's my second favourite Tarantino movie. Thought it was a masterpiece

Bolsters · « **Reply #1551 on:** January 25, 2016, 05:47:05 AM »

I thought it was dreadfully boring. The dialogue scenes were just so long and uninteresting, which disappointed me because the dialogue is usually one of my favourite things about his films.

kaos2900 · « **Reply #1552 on:** January 25, 2016, 07:41:18 AM »

We finally got around to watching Mad Max: Fury Road. I thought it was absolutely terrible. Yes the action scenes were impressive but I found the story and the acting to be terrible. Most over hyped movie I've seen in a long time.

We're also watching all of the extended editions of the The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. We've made it through the first half of Fellowship this weekend. I will say that the extended cut The Battle of the Five Armies was much better than the original.

I was browsing Netflix for something to watch and saw that Men In Black 3 was there.

So I put it on.

It was entertaining enough. Not as good as the original. Way better than the second one.

I liked Jermaine Clement as Boris. Unrecognisable. Josh Brolin did a great job as young Tommy Lee Jones too.

I've ended up watching it twice on TV, and it was a lot better than I was expecting. I quite enjoy it.

TioJorge · « **Reply #1556 on:** January 25, 2016, 05:46:21 PM »

I love Jermaine and really loved him as Boris. He was...surprisingly unnerving. Like, genuinely creepy and unsettling while still being funny and chill. Very odd and well done.

Pretty much the same thoughts as you; I enjoyed the film a lot but thought it didn't exactly live up to the original MIB name but yeah, kind of consider the second one to be a misnomer so it blew that out of the water as far as I'm concerned. Good stuff either way.

Still think that with a little make up and some tweaks in his accent, demeanor, Brolin is pretty much Lee incarnate.

Honestly I thought it was pretty dumb, and the writing was kinda weak. Still better than Reservoir Dogs

When you finish all the Tarantino movies, I'm curious to see your rankings compared with mine. I bet they'll be a lot different!

Just watched a short by director Gareth Evans (The Raid). He took three actors out to the woods to work on a short samurai film for the purpose of working on fight choreography. It's pretty fantastic, and the music is perfect.

You can watch it here. It's only a little over 5 minutes. I recommend it.

The Trooper · « **Reply #1561 on:** January 26, 2016, 02:27:30 PM »

Imitation Game. Have not watched it in a bit and there is nothing new out there I have not seen. So I was flipping around Showtime and it was on. Man what a movie. Great movie all around. Then flipping around on demand and Whiplash popped up. I am a sucker for it even tho I own it. Up next Spotlight.

Sacul · « **Reply #1562 on:** January 26, 2016, 02:32:02 PM »

Fantastic movie, indeed.

lucky7 · « **Reply #1563 on:** January 27, 2016, 03:13:35 AM »

The Revenant Great film, though can't say I would ever watch it again, very long. I do think Leo deserves the Oscar!

Going to see The Hateful 8 tomorrow, travel time to this wide screen cinema is 1.5 hours each way, I hope it is worth it.

Has anyone seen Room or Spotlight? They are next on the list.

The Trooper · « **Reply #1564 on:** January 27, 2016, 06:31:01 AM »

I have seen all the Best Picture films. I think Revenant will win. Room and Spotlight are great films in their own right, as is Hateful. All great films.

You never saw that before today? I'm surprised. That's one of my favorite movies, though. I loved Christian Slater's character in that.

hefdaddy42 · « **Reply #1568 on:** January 27, 2016, 01:02:27 PM »

Yeah, that's one of those films that I just assume most people have seen

Fantastic, but I haven't seen it in years.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #1569 on:** January 27, 2016, 01:09:44 PM »

That and Pump Up The Volume were two of my favorite movies of his back in the day.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1570 on:** January 27, 2016, 01:33:49 PM »

Not Star Trek 6 ?

Prog Snob · « **Reply #1571 on:** January 27, 2016, 01:36:42 PM »

I thought you were joking but I checked and see he was in that.

I don't really like Star Trek. I gave it an honest effort and watched some episodes but it did nothing for me. SciFi is a genre that is hit or miss for me.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1572 on:** January 27, 2016, 01:45:08 PM »

I think he got the Star Trek part since his mum Mary Jo Slater was the casting director on STVI

Prog Snob · « **Reply #1573 on:** January 27, 2016, 01:47:39 PM »

You're probably right.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #1574 on:** January 27, 2016, 02:10:30 PM »

Just watched HOT FUZZ again.

Yeah Motherfucker.
