Oh I'm sorry, Did I Break Your Conversation........Well Allow Me A Movie Thread by S&T

Misconduct was pretty good. 6/8

Story was good. Directing was really good although a bit too stylistic at times and there was no need to play with the non-linear storytelling as much as what happened but I get it.

Movie made Malin a bit sexier to me. Love me some Alice Eve and by the end of it I wanted more of her character. I knew she did it and she was just giving off a kind of Gone Girl vibe. Would be liked nor detective work from Julia Stiles in this.

Pacino and Hopkins got to play to type. Nothing too demanding so their gravitas and just air of confidence and intrigue come easily to the characters they're portraying.

Duhmael got a role where it didn't play to any of his negatives or just usual things I do t like about his acting.

Lee Byung-hun was dope as the accountant and I want to see him in more stuff. Dude could be a star as a leading man or as an antagonist/villain.
 
Lol we all have our prejudices. Mine are DD's. His are nostrils. We're all weird :lol

Everyone has flaws (except for Iskra and Misty Knight) but the director must've been mad at Amy Adams to keep those under-nostril shots of her.
 
Let's be real here - the up the nostril shot isn't exactly a good look for anyone.

And, unrelatedly, Collateral Beauty has an amazing cast. Will, Winslet, Ed Norton, Helen Mirren, Michael Pena. Yet, I'm only mildly interested.

Mindhunters

5.5 / 8

- Good cast with a few familiar faces and solid performances

- Linear storytelling with a nice twist at the end

- Really like the "traps" throughout too -- made a lot of sense

I think cuz the concept of collateral beauty seems super cheesey.

There was some creepy previews before The Arrival. Split by m knight shamalan looked crazy. James McAvoy plays someone with split personalities that kidnaps 3 teenage girls and they try to convince some of the personalities to help them escape. Another trailer was about weird experiments in a mental hospital
 
Getting caught up on Insecure.

Show just keeps surprising me, I can't believe they are telling this story. It's supremely intelligent and accurate. Man there is some good stuff being put out right now. It's crazy how long it's taken for something like this to the be put on TV though.
 
Amy Adams is bae but she has some long nostrils. They kept having the camera angle under her nose which wasn't flattering.

 i could look past that...

Amy Adams, Jessica Chastain, and Christina Hendricks are the red headed bae trinity...

followed closely by Isla Fisher and Emma Stone...
 
I love Isla Fisher. You forgot Bryce Dallas Howard who I like a little better than Chastain.

We have to mention the GOAT, Susan Sarandon.

Yeah, and with the mid-December 15 release date, it just feels very Oscar-bait-y, which kind of rubs me the wrong way. But I'll reserve judgment until I start seeing reviews.

Oh, and I'd take Isla Fisher and Bryce over Amy Adams and Chastain for the starting spots in my redhead foursome. Hendricks is in there though.
 
Emma Stone is not a natural red head.

Chastain though :evil

I also like that she basically came.out of nowhere to be a well respected actor as if she's been doing it for years.

Is HBO's Westworld any good? I'm a big fan of Jeffrey Wright & I didn't know he was in this.
 
I need to get on Westworld soon. My girl watches it and says its outstanding. I'm slacking. :{

Dude. Get on it. Jeffrey Wright is only one of many A+ actors on the show. Sir Hopkins puts on a clinic every scene he's in.

I might wait until the end of the season so I can just binge. :smokin

Thanks for the recommendation.
 
Westworld is pretty great and has potential to be the next major hit on HBO.

Another hit from Jonathan Nolan (the superior Nolan brother).

I dunno why but it may be a bit of a thick potentially confusing plot for some ppl right away. Granted I didn't have that problem.
