I loved Coda and it did deserve the best movie, I have watched it 2 times already
Thanks for recommending it. I went to see it yesterday. Liked it. We felt that if 'Snatch' and 'Pulp Fiction' had a baby it would be something like this
I finally saw Licorice Pizza last night. I loved it! What an unusual film. The leads are fantastic, and the cameos are absolutely wild. I read no one knew about Bradley Cooper until they shot the scene, and he walked in. Given his role, that was gutsy and brilliant. (And how did the filmmakers not get sued?) If anyone hasn’t seen it yet, I recommend sitting through the end credits while paying close attention to the names of the actors/“actors”. I hope this won’t end up having been Cooper Hoffman’s only role. He’s too good not to make other movies.
I had kind of forgotten about that movie. I should watch it again. I never knew that story about Cooper.
I saw Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson on Graham Norton last weekend, so I got a feel for it then. It seemed intriguing, and even more so now that I’ve read your review.
We’re haven’t seen that yet. We haven’t actually been to the cinema since before covid, for no reason other than we lost the habit. I know the story on this one, it has something of a dark Greek tragedy about it, and of course, the leading actors are two of the finest actors in the world today. Colin Farrell hardly puts a foot wrong in anything, and Brendan Gleeson is like a character actor from old Hollywood.
I agree with those guys a lot, and enjoyed the interview. I still would caution people about hearing too much. I'll be so interested what you and Tented think, since you're interested. I know that McDonagh is raised in England, which is one of the reasons I ask. I'll just stand by.
One of my arguments for it as Best Haunted House movie ever is that it's the only one that gives them a perfect reason for not just leaving the house.
It’s icky, exactly! Like a cheap Disney flick for under fives. The whole thing is bloat. I didn’t like Titanic either, until the ship hit the iceberg. Up until then, all the silly romance stuff was unimportant and irrelevant, totally dull. Billy Zane was a pantomime villain. Once it bashed into the iceberg it improved, mainly because we all knew that this was a terrifying historical tragedy unfolding, so there was an emotional resonance there already, but I suspect there’s a greater film on this subject waiting to be made, an intelligent, well-written one.
