Hello, good folks of FG. The weekly film discussion thread is back. The topic under discussion is made clear in the title. Made-for-TV, direct-to-video, streaming, TV series/episodes, documentaries, short films can also be listed. The minimum requirement is that a numerical rating out of 5 or 10 be provided - whichever the poster wishes to choose - and it'll be even more helpful if he/she also writes a few thoughts regarding his/her experience with the feature/documentary/short/TV series' season. This will help in starting discussions, which is one of the main intentions of this thread. I also request all those who reply here to go through the whole thread once and see if you can see some common topic to discuss with other posters. All first viewings for me in the last week (except where mentioned otherwise) :
This film was a big hit and nominated for several awards. After watching this, I felt nothing but bafflement at what others saw in the film. The plot has little excitement or tension and holes galore. The ending is an immensely unsatisfactory anticlimax. Jack Nicholson tries to speak in a Brooklyn accent but ends up sounding like someone doing a bad impression of Peter Falk doing an impression of Humphrey Bogart.
3/10
Trailer :
SECOND VIEWING
I warmed up to it a little compared to the last time I saw it. I think it is because this time I knew exactly what I was going to get. It is an entirely superficial exercise in pandering to the star power of a power couple.
The first half is definitely a lot better than the second where they both bicker like a teenage couple rather than the adult professionals that they are. I have to note that I was rather surprised and a bit annoyed at how Brad Pitt is portrayed as an incompetent goofball with a sexist moron as his sidekick while Angelina Jolie is this always-correct uber-badass with a dedicated girl gang. Their characters were definitely not equals.
5/10 (Up from 4/10)
Trailer :
SECOND VIEWING
I hated it in 2009a and I still hated it, though I recognized some special effects to be quite good and the only worthwhile aspect of this completely vacuous and forgettable exercise. The concept of someone with an ability to teleport almost anywhere and the possibility of becoming corrupted due to this ability has a lot of potential. Unfortunately it was wasted on a plethora of unlikeable, unrelatable and simply stupid characters.
2/10 (Up from 1/10)
Trailer :
SECOND VIEWING
I was more impressed with this as a teenager than I am now. Still, it is definitely worth a watch for being a unique kind of thriller within Hindi cinema. Inspired by the likes The Hitcher, Breakdown and Joy Ride and boasting of a terrific performance by Manoj Bajpayee as the antagonist.
6/10

Solid Halloween film.
Breaking (2022) - 6/10
A soft version of Dog Day afternoon. Not bad.

6/10
Prizzi's Honor (1985, John Huston) : I'm with you on this. I found it shockingly dull. Nicholson gives one of his least appealing performances.
4/10
Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005, Doug Liman) :
It is an entirely superficial exercise in pandering to the star power of a power couple. - This pretty much sums it up.
I originally saw this at the cinema and later even bought the unrated dvd, but it's a movie that just doesn't hold up too well. Jolie blew her career by accepting all these over-the-top action roles. It was difficult to take her seriously afterwards. I remember she was so good in Playing By Heart, she would've deserved to do more challenging work.
6/10
Jumper (2008, Doug Liman) :
This is one of those films everyone seems to hate. I'm among the few who actually enjoyed it. I would've preferred had it focused entirely on the wish-fulfilment aspect of the story, since bringing in Samuel L. Jackson's boorish antagonist sort of ruined it. Still I liked it when I was younger. On my last rewatch (I'm currently going through my dvd collection getting rid of films I know I'm never going to watch again.) I struggled to finish it though, it just seemed too trivial to hold my interest.
5/10

First Time Viewing:
Double Face (1969; Ricardo Freda) - Plodding early giallo with Klaus Kinski in a rare good guy role as a man suspected of having killed his wealthy wife.
5/10
Lockout (2012; James Mather, Steve Saint Leger) - Solid B-movie nonsense with Guy Pearce as a John McClane / Snake Plissken type mercenary. If only some of the CGI wouldn't have looked so awful.
5.5/10
Documentary Viewing:
De Palma (2015; Noah Baumbach, Jake Paltrow) - Although I wouldn't go as far as calling myself a fan of the director, I found this documentary completely engrossing. It's actually more of a 90 minute interview, edited down from originally 30 hours of footage, with De Palma commenting on all his feature films.
8/10
Repeat Viewing
Batman Begins (2005; Christopher Nolan) - Solid first act of Nolan's bat trilogy.
8/10

I have never been much of a fan of Prizzi's Honor either, though I certainly like it more than you - 5.5/10. Mr. and Mrs. Smith is fun enough but shallow - 6.5/10 and Jumper is watchable but generic - 5/10. We both watched a movie with Hayden Christensen last week. |

I do much prefer Ralph Fiennes as The Tooth Fairy over Tom Noonan and that is a big reason I prefer Red Dragon. In the novel his character is supposed to be attractive and in good shape. He just thinks he is ugly, which makes it more tragic. Hannibal - 7.5/10 Beautifully grotesque. Gary Oldman as Mason Verger never gets old. The Silence of the Lambs - 10/10 My favorite movie Hannibal Rising - 4.5/10 |

I separate it from Silence of the Lambs even though it is meant to be a direct sequel. I love the OTT-ness of it, so there is the difference. I find the directing of Manhunter to be inconsistent, but the style is great. I don't really care for that style in the conext of Manhunter though. It feels too much like an action movie at times rather than a psychological thriller. |

Those are some of the lower ratings I have seen for the Back to the Future sequels, but it seems we are on the same page with them. I slightly prefer Part 2. Well, it also seems like you're a little lower than most on the first BttF. I consider it a near perfect movie. The sequels are both kinda clunky and disappointing, but I enjoy them overall. |

Big Top Pee Wee - Haven't seen since I was younger than 12 probably, so I have very little memory of the film.Pee Wee's Big Holiday - 5/10No Hard Feelings - 6.5/10Back to the Future - 8/10Back to the Future: Part II - 6/10 Back to the Future: Part III - 6/10 Peggy Sue Got Married - 7/1021 Jump Street - 6.5/10
Those are some of the lower ratings I have seen for the Back to the Future sequels, but it seems we are on the same page with them. I slightly prefer Part 2. Well, it also seems like you're a little lower than most on the first BttF. I consider it a near perfect movie. The sequels are both kinda clunky and disappointing, but I enjoy them overall. Yeah. Back to the Future I could say is technically a great movie or something but I personally just like it a lot rather than love it. I rate just on subjective pleasure. |
