13 second clip:

Sicario: 3.5/5 stars. I begrudgingly give this movie 3.5 stars instead of 3, as most of it was Emily Blunt not looking hot and just crying. Del Toro was pretty good, but nothing remarkable as a silent hitman; his performance was just slightly better than that of Josh Brolin's. I enjoyed it mildly, particularly the dinner sequence, and the final tracking shot, but nothing great for an action movie with a 90% on RT and an all-star cast.

Agree 3/5. Forget if he hit the whole family at dinner but good scene.

Misery: 4/5. Holy shit that was an entertaining movie. James Caan was great, as was Kathy Bates. She wasn't "terrifying" per se, but still a very enjoyable movie. Now I've got to. Delmon Young is releasing his new autobiography, and I'm his "number one fan."

Jack Reacher (original). 4/5 stars. 1 of Cruise's best films.

Oh look, I gave the movie the same rating nearly a year ago while high as I began an epic 3 month bender that included snorting Percocet and Dilaudid nearly every day

Sicario 3.5/5 stars. Del Toro was fucking great and Blunt is 3/3 in movies I've seen her in (Looper, Edge of Tomorrow, and Sicario).

I'm a Minority Report type of guy. Cruise is a real underrated actor. I guess my favorite movie from him is A Few Good Men, but I guess that's kind of cliched isn't it?

Bates was good. A good watch but I wish it had explicitly gruesome scenes. lol.

The Babadook: 3.5/5 stars. Holy shit what a terrifying film. A little light on the actual plot, but the imagery in it will keep you up for nights. I liked the symbolism of the monster as grief; for a second I thought they would take the Take Shelter approach to the ending. I would recommend if you don't like sleep, or calmness, or general inner-peace.

While you assholes were watching the Cubs battle the Dodgers, I watched Carlito's Way: 4/5 stars. Very good movie with a

Spoiler

very sad ending. I figured Carlito would have to die, but I just really hoped it wouldn't happen. Damn Benny from the Bronx.

By the way, Sean Penn's character had to be the sleaziest, grimiest asshole in the history of sleazy, grimy assholes. I loved the train station shootout (De Palma always does a great job with those).

Great movie!

It has been over 3 years since I have given a movie 5/5 stars, but here goes. Bom de bom bom bom bon- The King of Comedy: 5/5 stars. I can't believe how much I loved this movie. In-depth movie review coming later on the Entertainment forum.

 

[Omar 382]

Taxi Driver: 3.5/5 stars. Movie review might be forthcoming. If not, I'll post more on why I liked it, but not as much as most people.

Also, I'm thinking of abandoning this thread and just posting on the entertainment forum one, but that would be hard, because I did start this one

Nooooooooo. This belongs here, with the Wilmington area restaurant reviews.
Also, are you changing your long standing opinion of De Niro ?

Well, if you care to read an excerpt from my critically lauded movie review on The King of Comedy, I specifically wrote:

"De Niro, whose performances I have not always gravitated towards (to put it nicely), delivers one of the best characterizations of how I and I imagine many others feel regarding achieving stardom, yet all the while being a nobody. It’s his role, and Scorsese's sure-handed direction with the script, that makes this movie an unforgettable classic."

I'm actually probably moving to Wilmington next summer. ¡Adios Newark! You were home to me my whole life and did a pretty good job (I mean, just look how I turned out), but I am no longer in need of your assistance.

I feel the same way. Have you started smoking Pall Mall's by any chance?
