Also Bohemian Rhapsody is trash. this is a propaganda piece that's similar to a Steven Seagal movie. The band meets no obstacles, they are awesome from the start and crush everything. Also they totally erased their party history and pretend they are good guys but not that stupid Freddy who chose his homosexuality over his band so now he is dead. No wonder Sasha Baron Cohen left citing the band wanted a puff piece about how cool their are after Freddy.

Tis what I've heard too.

Cinematography is great, First half is great but it's essentially copy pasting everything from old cinema besides technology. Even the characters are stereotypes that made sense if your values are still the same as they were in the 50s which is a bit annoying to see the glorification of a hysterical woman stereotype and a man who is successful but not enough being treated as an impotent. It's just derivative of old movies. If you like old movies and this doesn't annoy you, you will really like the movie. If not you will really like the first part. Acting and cinematography are top notch
i'll take anything that is not a superhero movie....

Watched Sully last night, really good, if that's what happened he was initially treated in a shitty fashion after the fact.

Burning is awesome. Also Assassination nation and Blindspotting released in the summer are one of my top2 films of the year. You were never really here is cool.

Shoplifters is supposedly good and a foreign oscar contender.


From big Oscar movies I probably like Vice the most

No it's so fucking far from what happened. Supposedly the real hearing was super short and they believed Sully but that was procedure so the movie is totally false in that regard.

It would appear you are correct, it seems the hearing scenes and NTSB were Hollywoodized.

Went to see Cpt. Marvel today. Way more enjoyable than I expected after the trailers. I am super bored with Marvel movies but this one works. The buddy comedy elements work, young-ified Samuel L Jackson looks good, the cat comedy works and the messaging is hard to argue with. Especially worth seeing if you have a daughter, sister etc.

Also it's a bit funny it's from a company that claimed female-led superhero movies are not profitable. Also even if it was shit I'd probably pay for it just to piss off the incels who wanted it to fail.

My top picks for the last few months have been, Peppermint, Hunter killer, and any of the DC/Marvel films.
DC films and Peppermint? I know it's a matter of taste but it looks like you are picking general consensus bad movies on purpose and I say this as someone who kinda enjoyed Peppermint script.

If you like good old actioners you will probably like Den of thieves with Butler in his full drunk Scotsman mode.

Enjoyed Vice last night, the makeup artists did a great job portraying the aging of the actors.

I often don't pay attention to award nominated/winners, but Vice was really good (and very angry, but I knew about 75% of the story).

I really liked Vice despite some of it's flaws. Was in my top10 of 2018. I don't get why the critical community were so lukewarm on it.

Girlfriend wants me to see The Dirt. She says it's not necessarily a good movie, but entertaining.
