The Nice Guys.

Dark comedy taking place in 1977 L.A. Hired muscle named Heally is payed to break the arm of a private detective named March by a woman named Amelia, after March is hired to locate her in a case. When the job almost gets Heally murdered by other hired thugs also looking for Amelia, he realizes he must join forces with March to solve the case. Heally, the hired muscle, wants to become something better than he is, whereas March is a retired cop with a drinking problem, none too bright, and going nowhere fast. Still, they manage to to become friends and partners while trying to solve the case that has connections to both the seedy underworld of porn, and the auto industry. Kept me laughing non-stop. I highly recommend it.

I really liked that movie.

Mythica: The Darkspore

Blade and Lethal weapon

One postive thing about having bad memory, is that I can watch movies that I've seen before, because I really don't remember how it goes

Did you like it?[/quote]

Yes I did, in that independent films often trump major studio films especially in the realm of content.As well, you never really knew for sure regarding the ending if the menace was destroyed etc.

I'm glad to hear that. It was great.

I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. I thought it had so many little moments anf lines that made me burst with laughter.

I especially liked that scene when March sometime or other fell asleep behind the wheel, and is dreaming that the car drives itself, and that there's a talking giant bee in the back seat, only awaking to Healy screaming at him to wake up, and soon after crashing the car.

Sully

The recent directorial effort by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks as the real-life Captain Sullenberger, who managed to save 155 people on January 15th, 2009, known today as "The Miracle On The Hudson."

Eastwood and Hanks killed it with perfection and regardless if you like or don't like Eastwood and/or Hanks, this was a very well-made movie worth seeing and IMO, Eastwood and Hanks could easily score themselves award nominations when nominations are announced.

I saw this movie....





What a mind twister!

Whoa! I was just about to post about another movie with Jake Gyllenhaal. Thanks for the heads up on this one.

"Do you know what fear stands for? False Evidence Appearing Real".

I really liked Nightcrawler, but I don't quite know what to make of it.

I didn't like any of the characters except for Rick, and far out Rick, didn't anybody ever tell you not to play with sociopathic types?!

The music score was strangely befitting of a hero, but Bloom is no hero.

The car scenes made the movie feel like an action flick at times, and were exciting, despite the fact that you were heading straight toward somebody's tragic misfortune.

Some of Bloom's darkly amusing quotes "I feel like grabbing you by your ears right now and screaming, 'I'm not f***ing interested!' Instead, I'm going to drive home and do some accounting." made you, errrm, warm to him even though you know you shouldn't.

Weirdly unsettling but weirdly enjoyable.

The World According to Garp

The Conjuring 2, I already knew the paranormal case it is based on inside out since I'm a spooknerd, they could've handled it a lot better, they seemed to rush a lot of the occurrences into a small segment of the film, some stuff was bang out of place, WTF were they thinking with that CrOoKEd MaN crud, that was straight up cringeworthy, the old timer was presented truly pathetically, this was abysmal in places, impressive in moments, bit of a trainwreck, bit of potential flashing through here and there, 6.5/10, seemed like a second draft of a movie for me, needed twice as long spent on figuring it out.

The Boss

I loved Nightcrawler, i think its a brilliant film with such a good performance from Gyllenhaal. I was interested by how it exposed the way entertainment and news has blurred or even fused. In the film Gyllenhaal character is driven with ruthless conviction to serve up peoples tragedies into exciting and entertaining news. The methods he uses are not concern with relaying information, but how to best make it entertain. He pushes this process well past point where the methods are just twisting the truth, into territory where he influences events in order to maximise entertainment.
His character seems to much of this out of personal fascination, Gyllenhaal is thin and bug eyed in film, seemingly transfixed by what he records, mirroring viewers fascination with the entertainment that is broadcast.
The film might raise questions about how much we use news, to entertain ourselves, and how much as a society we demand news to be entertaining.
