Oil Can Boyd Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Came across this last night on cable. Hadn't ever heard of it and I found it surprisingly affecting. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Diane, on your recommendation & that of PopTodd & Sir Stewart, I took Alissa (age 17) to see this today. She is irreparably scarred and damaged for life. No actually we both laughed hysterically all the way through. What a fitting end for the City of Angels! Poor James Franco. What a blast...we thank you! Even the magazine argument scene? Helluva good flick. Link to post Share on other sites

GtrPlyr Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 A brief synopsis: A couple go undercover to make a documentary about a local cult who's leader claims to be a woman from the future. The pacing and the story drew me in right off the bat and the ending left me to reevaluate what I thought was the truth. Link to post Share on other sites
Hixter Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 The Day After (1983)Threads (1984)Feeling a little apocalyptic? Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted July 13, 2013 Author Share Posted July 13, 2013 I should say I just watched part of them. I remember watching The Day After back in the day. (My apocalyptic dream would be to own Thunder Mountain.) Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 So, whilst my wife and kids were out of town this weekend, I used the opportunity to watch a bunch of movies that none of them wanted to see:• Searching For Sugar Man• Sound City• Indie Game: The Movie• Slap Shot• Cool Hand LukeThat last one I had only caught in bits and pieces, so I finally sat down to watch the whole thing at once.GodDAMNIT, what a movie! George Kennedy earned that Oscar. Great flick. And... desperately waiting to see this one. Sadly, I'll have to wait until it's on Netflix or DVD.But it looks amazing.

Moss Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Started watching this because my daughter saw a take off on "Psych" and was interested. Have not seen it since the early 90's and I am enjoying it more than i expected, it actually holds up. Sherilyn Fenn! I remember someone saying that if James Dean had lived he would have been in this show. There certainly is quite a few 50's era actors and actresses in it. Anyways, a trip down memory lane.

GtrPlyr Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 This one reminded me of the Roky Erickson doc a bit. Tough to watch at times but worth the ride in the end. Link to post Share on other sites

a-me-with-a-you Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 This thread is nice for recommendations of documentaries, but how do you guys feel about recent movies (2013)? I feel very disappointed so far, the only real highlight for me was "Mud", some Southern American images that served as poetry at least, which is more than can be said about most releases this year. I miss the time when the choice was between two world-class films like There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men when you were asked to sum up your year in movies; Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Upstream Color was the only movie that I recall seeing this year that kinda blew me away. Not quite as enjoyable as his first movie (Primer) and the narrative looses focus for a bit, but definitely one that sticks with you..(for guily pleasure popcorn movie, I have to admit I enjoyed Star Trek Into Darkness. On the fence about Man of Steel. Good first act, but got bored of the building smashing at end). Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Overall it’s been a weak year. Still, while I don’t think I’ve encountered a bona fide masterpiece, I’ve seen a handful that I think are strong works: Upstream Color; Berberian Sound Studio; Lore; This Must Be the Place; Fruitvale Station; To the Wonder; Rust and Bone; Before Midnight; and Mud. There were patches of greatness in Starlet and Ginger & Rosa, even if they were ultimately uneven. Plus, there’s been some very good nonfiction: The House I Live In; How to Die in Oregon; Happy People: A Year In the Taiga; The Gatekeepers; and Side by Side. Some of those were released in major markets prior to 2013, but they weren’t available to me until this year, so they still count. Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I liked the last Star Trek movie. Very disappointed by The Way Way Back. There haven't been many movies in the theater this year that have seemed all that interesting. I saw some of The Canyons online. Link to post Share on other sites
NoJ Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 "Mud" was indeed enjoyable. Last Friday night I sat the kids down and we watched "Duel". Now, if I could only find a copy of "Killdozer".... Link to post Share on other sites

Beltmann Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 Neddie, if I made a list of the top five movies I'm most eager to see, Blancanieves would be on it. Can't wait for it to be available in Milwaukee. (Along the same lines, I'm dying to see Miguel Gomes' Tabu, which I've been anticipating for more than a year. Come on, distributors!)

NoJ Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r3y-SRsNPI Oh man, thanks for the heads up. I gotta get better at using youtube as a resource.... Saw "Black Rock" over the weekend......meh. Link to post Share on other sites

El Picador Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Blue is the Warmest Color - France (2013) I had the opportunity to catch this in the theater on Friday night. It's been awhile since a film has made such an impression. It’s difficult to express in words why this film is so important other than to say it is one of the most natural and real depictions of young love I can remember seeing on the big screen. Honest and fresh. Link to post Share on other sites
