O.T. State the last movie you watched and rate it

Source Code: 4/5. With just about any actor but Jake Gyllenhaal, the movie would have just been "pretty good" but with him, it was "pretty damn good." Easily a top 5 actor of mine. The plot was a little thin, especially for a ski-fi, but like I said, Gyllenhaal makes it worth it.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: 4.5/5 stars. When you have the two leads as good as Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne, you can do something that other great leads said quite often: "Fuggetabouted." Great movie with a very interesting ending. Probably my second favorite Western of all time, right after The Hateful Eight.

Vertigo: 4.5/5 stars. I understand that a lot of people didn't like James Stewart for the role, but I liked him just fine. Kim Novak was great. I am torn on where they should have put the big reveal.

The Glengarry Glen Ross: 3.5/5 stars. Overall a very entertaining film. I especially liked Baldwin's tirade, and Lemmon and Pacino's performances.

On the third episode of The Crown. Ridiculously slow, but I'm a sucker for Winston Churchill portrayals, especially after the stellar one Mike Myers did in that Tarantino movie

 

[Omar 382]

Oh wait, that was Rod Taylor. Myers did someone else in that movie

 

[Omar 382]

Holy shit The Crown was terrible. Now on to Westworld for some much needed A.I., sex, and violence. I mean goddamn Netflix, give the people what they want, not some boring biopic on freaking Queen Elizabeth II!

Update: on the third episode of rematching The Wire (gave up on Westworld). Also, had a delicious meal at the Joyful Garden. Review on Yelp. Almost as good as you-know-where

You have the knack for finding these extreme dives. Joyful Garden possibly misnamed judging from the worst reviews. ".. it tasted like they dropped a bottle of soap on the food. .....Crab Ragoons took one bite and had to spit it out tasted like soiled fish..." My stomach is desperate for a bite or two.

Nonsense. Here's my review Jimmy C.'s review of Joyful Garden Chinese Restaurant

Thanks, Jimmie. I get it.

It's Jimmy, asshole

It's Jimmy, asshole

Lol, you fuck. Go eat me.

Snatch: 3/5 stars. Not as good as others make it out to be, but some truly funny moments in it. I'd recommend.

21 Grams: 2.5/5 stars. Some intriguing performances, but overall uninspiring

Bloodline is coming back for another season? How is that possible? I thought they wrapped everything up with the last episode

 

[Omar 382]

Arrival: 5/5 stars, the ninth movie I've ever awarded a perfect score. Officially slots up to number three on the 5/5 list, pushing Training Day out of the top 3. Full review coming in a couple days. What an awesome, thought-provoking film.

 

[Omar 382]

True Romance: 4/5 stars. Pretty good, but not as good as the movie its mainly compared to- Pulp Fiction. I wish they had used Walken more- his scene was legendary.

It was supposed to go 6 seasons- so count yourself lucky

The Place Beyond The Pines: 2/5 stars. How does a movie with Ryan Gosling, Ben Mendehlson, Dane DeHaan, Ray Liotta, and Bradley Cooper become so emotionally devoid? The film was split into three parts. I liked them best in the order they appeared: 1 (Gosling and Mendehlson), 2 (Cooper and Liotta), and 3 (DeHaan and Cooper). Kind of disappointing.
