The Movie Reel

[britbox]

I was looking forward to the Wizard of Lies, the tale of Ponzi fraudster Bernie Madov, trailers looked great, cast was great (De Niro, Pfeiffer)... but a let-down of a movie. Really dull film. Script was very bland.
Disappointed.

Oh, that's too bad.

Just rewatched "No country for old men"... this is a classic, if you haven't seen it before. Good cast with Javier Bardem (superb villain), Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones.

I love that film. It's my top Coen Brothers.

"Wonder Woman" is the super-hero popcorn movie of the season.

I saw it at the drive-in last Sat. Excellent movie.

You still have a drive-in?! I'm so envious.

I do. It's one of the last ones left. A family-owned place that doesn't tolerate any foolishness.

I do remember the Belair. It was down there by the racetrack, right?.

Aye. I watched it again recently. Terrific performances all round. Not forgetting Woody Harrelson's hilarious bit-part as Carson Wells.

Sad to hear drive-thrus are under attack in the US. Growing up in the UK (we never had the weather to make it feasible), I thought the idea was so cool and remember watching Grease thinking I'd love to go to one. We have one in Oz at the north end of the city I live in... must make an appearance before it likely closes. Video killed the radio star... The Internet kills the video star.

Yep, such an underrated movie, top performances all around.

Woody almost steals that movie..i just love when Chiqure says to Carson, you should admit your situation and Carson later says to him, do you know how crazy you are.,

Just saw "Dunkirk." I thought it was great. There is almost no plot or dialogue, and it just asks you to live through the experience. I'll be curious to know what others think, but I will say, you'd better see it in the theatre.

 

[brokenshoelace]

Dunkirk is a masterpiece. Absolutely brilliant. Nolan has a case for being the best director alive at the moment.

 

[Murat Baslamisli]

I wonder how this will turn out...

Underrated movie? It won Best Picture at the Oscars. I think it is the Coen's masterpiece.

Just saw "Atomic Blonde" with Charlize Theron. Stylish, clever, funny, and the soundtrack is going to make them bazillions.
