New Movies

[minorityoption]

Nintendo is real strict on their IPs. the failure of the live action Mario from years ago spooked the hell out of them and they pretty much wont let anyone make movies with their IPs

Good point— thanks.

Wes is definitely niche. I imagine his casts enjoy the dramatic change from what they normally do. Clearly, they enjoy working with him as so many actors work with him routinely. Life Aquatic still holds a special place with me… maybe just came out at the right time… fun soundtrack… Sigur Ros bringing those tears to your eyes with “Staralfur” towards the end.

I appreciate that Wes has his own style and doesn’t change to broaden the market. It leads me to see him as more an “artist”.

Anderson’s visuals and background details are what sucks me in. I loved the Royal Tennenbaums, and the Gypsy Cab company always makes me laugh.

Am I Racist is one of the funniest documentaries I’ve seen. People are absolutely ridiculous.

The Apprentice is really good. Maybe my expectations were low but the acting was phenomenal.

Maybe it’s an age thing but I really enjoyed Saturday Night. Those first episodes of SNL were so entertaining back in the day and how all that craziness came together is quite a story.

Finally, if you film noir type drama with tension, violence and mayhem, LaRoy Texas will not disappoint.

OK, I’ve been going to the movies a lot. Today I saw Conclave.

May be the best movie of the year. Tight script with dramatic story of the interface between the spiritual and the carnal. Of all the dramas I’ve watched over the years dealing with the Vatican and the choosing of a Pope this one may have the best attention to detail of all of them. Powerful.

Never heard of it. Love that genre.

Try to watch it without reading anything about it. I did so and this I missed the spoilers that were in the reviews which meant I was unprepared for the plot twists, increasing the tension.
