It may be a little early for Oscar talk - but news came down that Foxcatcher - my most anticipated film of the year - will be fighting for not only Best Picture and Probably Best Director for Bennett Miller, but they will be pushing Steve Carrel for Leading Actor and Screenplay.

Get ready folks - this is the movie you can not miss

Yeah I'm looking forward to seeing Foxcatcher. One of the fathers on my sons old soccer team trained there growing up in Delaware... He said that while DuPont family was crazy. Literally lots of inbreeding for generations... Yuck...

Jonah From Tonga is hilarious. Probably Lilley's best show. Funniest series of 2014.

edit:

had no idea Jonah had his own show now.


Will enthusiastically binge watch.

I didn't know who chris lilley was except from channel surfing and seeing him dressed up as a school girl on hbo in ja'mie private school girl. I was wondering wth that show was doing on hbo.

I walked in to find my wife watching that show one day and she didn't realize it was a joke. Thought it was an actual, reality show. She was like, "there is something really weird about that girl." And I was like, "yeah, the biggest thing probably is that she's a dude."

RIP to Joan Rivers. Wasn't really a fan of hers, but give her credit for keeping herself active in the business into her 80s.

Miss me with JLaw in a QT flick.

I thought "The Knick" came on Wednesdays?

Fridays. Always Fridays.

Damn, I don't why I was under the impression Houdini was a series and not just some 2 part mini. It was basically a movie broken up in to two nights.

It was great though. I've read up on him but didn't know everything. It shed some light on dude and now I know why I've heard stuff like Houdini, international spy

I thought I was a series when I first saw the trailer in here. It wasn't until last night when someone had said it started and that it was a 2 part series.

I bet if Starz got ahold of this for an actual series, man hold up, they'd Murder this story, in a good way.

Glad I watched though, for sure.

I'm really not aware of many if any great series on STARZ. Aware me. The stuff I've tried have been okay and other stuff gets canceled quick.

10 Films To Watch In September 

10. The Two Faces of January  (Hossein Amini; Sept. 26th)

Synopsis: A thriller centered on a con artist, his wife, and a stranger who flee Athens after one of them is caught up in the death of a private detective.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: Reteaming with Oscar Isaac after  Drive, writer-turned-directorHossein Amini  has crafted his helming debut with The Two Faces of January. Coming from aPatricia Highsmith  (The Talented Mr. Ripley), reviews for the drama have been strong since its Berlin premiere earlier this year and while it might not be arriving with a great deal of buzz, we’re still looking forward to it. Also starring Viggo Mortensen  and Kirsten Dunst, it’s currentlyavailable on VOD  ahead of a theatrical release later this month.

9. Tracks  (John Curran; Sept. 19th)

Synopsis: A young woman goes on a 1,700 mile trek across the deserts of West Australia with her four camels and faithful dog.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: Delayed at the last minute from a release earlier this summer, it seems like The Weinstein Company found it more fitting to release this Mia Wasikowska-led drama around a year after it premiered. Also starring Adam Driver, we believe it’s worth the wait, saying in our review, it’s “a stunningly beautiful film” that “traces the physical and psychological” journey of Robyn Davidson’s real-life trek.

8. The Zero Theorem  (Terry Gilliam; Sept. 19th)

Synopsis: computer hacker whose goal is to discover the reason for human existence continually finds his work interrupted thanks to the Management; namely, they send a teenager and lusty love interest to distract him.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: Yes, he may be recycling some of the same themes and ideas, but there is still nothing like a Terry Gilliam  experience. His latest work, featuring one of Christoph Waltz‘s better performances, is an occasionally middling, but ultimately engaging trip into a dystopian future as we follow a cog in a machine. Crafting top-notch atmosphere and an amusing central romance, the film is now on VOD  and arrives in theaters later this month.

7. The Boxtrolls  (Anthony Stacchi and Graham Annable; Sept. 26th)

Synopsis: A young orphaned boy raised by underground cave-dwelling trash collectors tries to save his friends from an evil exterminator.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: Just two years after their last feature (a fairly quick turnaround in the world of stop-motion animation), Laika have returned with their third film and while it’s not a knock-out, it’s well worth a watch. “Laika may not break any new storytelling boundaries with their latest feature, but their virtuous, universal message of fitting in regardless of circumstances and lavish, ornate design makes for an enlightening ride, “I said in my review. “Just like their peculiar title characters co-exist perfectly together, Laika’s fantastical worlds are an imperative component to the craft of animation.”

6. The Guest  (Adam Wingard; Sept. 17th)

Synopsis: A soldier introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: If one is looking for some fun thrills this month, Denzel Washington‘sThe Equalizer  clearly has the bigger marketing budget, but we imagine you might be more pleased with the latest work from  You’re Next‘s Adam Wingard. We praised the lead performance from Dan Stevens  in in our Sundance review, saying, “He owns the screen as David, finding the happy medium between charm and menace. Wingard makes good use of the man’s physicality, building clean, well-choreographed fight sequences that move quickly but never lose focus.”

5. 20,000 Days on Earth  (Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard; Sept. 19th)

Synopsis: Writer and musician Nick Cave marks his 20,000th day on the planet Earth.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: His music has helped shape such films as The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The Proposition, and Wings of Desire, and now his life has received the big-screen treatment in the forthcoming 20,000 Days on Earth. Premiering at Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, where it picked up awards for directing and editing — the project takes a unique approaching in capturing a day in the life of the artist. Combining interviews with fictionalized  drama, we are major fans of it as our forthcoming review will attest to, so make sure to keep it on your radar.

4. A Walk Among the Tombstones  (Scott Frank; Sept. 19th)

Synopsis: Private investigator Matthew Scudder is hired by a drug kingpin to find out who kidnapped and murdered his wife.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: The  Liam Neeson-led thriller has virtually become its own sub-genre at this point, and after the gleefully orchestrated Non-Stop, he’s back with another promising project. Coming from director Scott Frank, who last gave us the overlooked thriller The Lookout, the film is based on the book from  Lawrence Block, which has its fair share of acclaim. I’ve been greatly looking forward to Frank’s return behind the camera, which should be a nice shake-up from the fall’s prestige dramas.

3. Memphis  (Tim Sutton; Sept. 5th)

Synopsis: A strange singer with God-given talent drifts through his adopted city of Memphis with its canopy of ancient oak trees, streets of shattered windows, and aura of burning spirituality.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: One of our favorites of Sundance Film Festival, we compared the latest work from Tim Sutton  to the likes of Gus Van Sant  and  Jim Jarmusch. “There’s a self-awareness to both Sutton’s direction and Willis’ performance that deflates some of the potential pretentiousness from the proceedings,” we said in our review. “Some of the time, while Willis is on a rant about glory and time and space, he’ll finish the diatribe with a loud laugh. Somewhere inside, this artist knows he is imploding and all he can do is smile.”

2. God Help the Girl  (Stuart Murdoch; Sept. 5th)

Synopsis: As Eve begins writing songs as a way to sort through some emotional problems, she meets James and Cassie, two musicians each at crossroads of their own.

Trailer

Why You Should See It: Although it has yet to hit theaters, I imagine the reaction to the directorial debut of Belle and Sebastian’s Stuart Murdoch  will be divisive (just look at ourSundance review  for proof).  I found the story following a youthful band to be brimming with sincere energy and one that would make a great pairing with this year’s We Are the Best! (or even Not Fade Away, which was severely overlooked a few years back). Backed by an infectious soundtrack, it’s a deeply personal work that will hopefully find an audience as it rolls out on VOD and in theaters this month.

1. Stray Dogs  (Tsai Ming-liang; Sept. 12th)

Synopsis: An alcoholic man and his two young children barely survive in Taipei. They cross path with a lonely grocery clerk who might help them make a better life

Trailer

Why You Should See It: While we imagine it won’t be expanding to a theaters nationwide, if one gets a chance to seek out the latest drama from Tsai Ming-liang, it will be well worth your while. One of our favorites since we viewed it during last year’s festival run, we said in our review, “Even the most thorough textual illustration of Taiwanese helmer Tsai Ming-liang’s newest feature would fail to capture what makes it such a formally monumental, intellectually brutalizing achievement, and by any reasonable stretch among the finest works released this year.”

I liked The White Queen because the lead actress had some of the best ******* i've seen on tv and she had no problem letting those thangs out like it was Christmas morning.

There's that new Outlander show based on some popular novels. Haven't started it yet but the star of the show is gorgeous. Going to start it because of her.

black sails is ok. Best part of it for me was Black Beard and Mrs. Barlow's *******.

Tried to watch da vinci's demons when it premiered but got bored 15 minutes into the episode.

 

[a-friend]

Miss me with JLaw in a QT flick.

I thought "The Knick" came on Wednesdays?

Fridays. Always Fridays.

Damn, I don't why I was under the impression Houdini was a series and not just some 2 part mini. It was basically a movie broken up in to two nights.

I'm really not aware of many if any great series on STARZ. Aware me. The stuff I've tried have been okay and other stuff gets canceled quick.

Spartacus
, DeVinci Demons,
Dancing on the Edge(mini series),
Magic City,
White Queen(mini series)
Black Sails

The production value, the way the tell the stories, graphics, drama, Starz would have out a dope spin on what the History channel did PG13

 

[a-friend]

shogun Black Beard was the **** my dude.

And the White Queen, I Love Her, she can pee on me.

 

[shogun]

I'd kiss Black Beard every night if it was clean or just dump a whole bottle of rum on those lips.

 

[Master Zik]

I haven't tried DaVinci's Demons yet or really finished Spartacus. Caught Magic City though. It was good.

 

[a-friend]

I hope Samuel Jackson and Madsen are left out of the Hateful Eight. Tired of seeing the Jackson character and Madsen doesn't seeming he could sell me on anyone other than "Budd" after Kill Bill.

I'm in on some Christoph Waltz though.

Quentin and Spike act like there are only 19 Actors and Actresses in Hollywood sometimes.

 

[macbk]

In.

 

[a-friend]

In.

Cosign

I'm tired of Movies using that "turn down for what" theme music though.

 

[MajinZuub]

I think There Will Be Blood is my favorite movie. It's too slow for some but I enjoy every minute of it. Not to mention DDL's performance.

 

[stuntman mike]

daniel day lewis' performance in there will be blood as well as gangs of new york are nothing short of spectacular. bill the butcher completely eclipsed amsterdam.

 

[IATT]

I hope Samuel Jackson and Madsen are left out of the Hateful Eight. Tired of seeing the Jackson character and Madsen doesn't seeming he could sell me on anyone other than "Budd" after Kill Bill.

Mr blonde > budd




Travolta may have killed any hope of a vega brothers movie

 

[noblekane]

How come?

 

[shogun]

The ending of gangs of new york was probably the most anti-climatic ending i've ever seen in a movie. There was so much build up and it got you hyped then you were like wth was that.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

DDL is a phenomenal actor. Despite the length, TWBB is a great movie with great performances, great photography, etc. Gangs like most of Scorsese's movies was way too long. Didn't like some of the casting either most notably Diaz. It took away from the movie IMO.

I caught first Mission Impossible with Tom Cruise on cable the other day. For a pop corn action flick(s), all the movies in the series have been pretty good. I don't think he's the draw he once was (don't think he'll ever be again) but I'm looking forward to seeing MI5 whenever it is it comes out.

 

[CP1708]

Funny you say that, because lately, Cruise has been can’t miss.

You already mentioned the MI films, which imo are 4 for 4 in terms of solidness.

Jack Reacher was excellent.
Oblivion was very good.
Edge of Tomorrow is reportedly very good. (I’ll be viewing this weekend)

So to say, he’s the draw he once was, might be accurate, yet, some of his best work has been in recent memory. And when it’s all said and done, his resume is going to be absolutely SUPERB.

He is, quite literally a true, mega movie star. As bat **** crazy as he is, his movies forever entertain.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Cruise's movies have been solid as of late but I'm not paying $$$ to see them in theaters. They are perfect VOD rentals for me. I'd pay to see MI5 though. Speaking of MI5, here's the latest scoop.

Sean Harris in Early Talks for ‘Mission: Impossible 5′ Villain
Posted on Friday, September 5th, 2014 by Russ Fischer

Director Christopher McQuarrie and star Tom Cruise are already shooting Mission: Impossible 5, but the film has yet to finalize the cast for its antagonist. At the moment, Paramount and Skydance are offering the bad guy role to Sean Harris, known for Prometheus, The Borgias, and other films such as the Red Riding series. We don’t know much about the new film, much less the Mission: Impossible 5 villain, but the details we have are below.

Deadline reports that talks are ongoing, but the deal isn’t set.

Along with Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames are back for M:I5, with Alec Baldwin, and Rebecca Ferguson of The White Queen taking new roles.

We don’t know much at all about the script for the new film, other than that Will Staples was hired not long ago to re-write the script originally written by Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3).

Paramount has the film scheduled to open December 25, 2015.
