Impossible to name just one. Logan. Wind River. A Ghost Story. Three BIlboards outside of Ebbing. And… Call me by your name. Jewel of cinematography. I need to see A Ghost Story, especially after the reviews I read on here. make sure you are in the mood for a quiet visual story and have the time to watch it uninterrupted. i can imagine that watching it bits and parts or in the wrong (frantic, rushed, uneasy) mood may affect the experience a lot.

That is Mackenzie Porter who some other members on here know is one of my favourite singers and actresses and is currently the main star of the TV show, 'Travellers.' I often change my avatar to different photos of Mackenzie 'cause she is gorgeous and I can't wait for her to release her second album.

Brawl in Cell Block 99.
Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Carpenter and Don Johnson all give excellent performances.

Its an awesome movie. Go see it. but brace yourself. its not a "feel good" movie, not for a single second. you will cringe at best.good luck Please do, because I trust your reviews. You saved me from wasting theater money on The Mummy, lol. Well thank you, thats nice to hear. Today I had someone complain I made a mistake in one of my reviews. I was reviewing "I, Tonya", and in one sentence I used the name "Nancy" where it should have been "Tonya". It was a clear oversight, but you know the internet, people JUMP on someone else making a mistake. Of course I regret having made a mistake, and cant even "blame" my editor for not catching it (as he has not seen the movie and could have thought the name was used correctly) and strive to do better, but it never feels good being publicly reminded of mistakes/failures. BUT, in the words of the (otherwise badly written) character of Roman J Israel, Esq, : "My failures are self-imposed". Must be more careful. Now that I got that little self-pittying rant over….onto The Florida Project:The movie is so incredibly well acted, that for that alone I would say its a must see. Its one of those rare acting jobs where nobody feels like an actor to you. You catch yourself thinking "this must be at least part-documentary". The movie also does a great job portraying childhood that is stained by bad parenting on one hand, but it still doesnt hold the children back from enjoying themselves throughout their days. Although it is clear they will pay for it later. In that way its very thought provoking. How children don't really need all the expensive toys, first class technology, and wonderful cars and houses to have fun. All they need is a lighter and an abandoned house apparently :-) The movie can be accused of not having enough "story". Its more like a string of episodes from someones childhood, showing them growing up in a very bad environment and being good with illustrating how that environment works. Without portraying any outright tragedies it makes you feel very bad for all the children involved and maybe even doubt if people should really be allowed to have children freely, without having to pass some kind of "responsible adult" test first. Sounds very dictator-shipy of me, I know, but if you see the movie you will know why I say that. For most of the movie I didn't really enjoy myself. What was on the screen showed a truly bleak reality of variously bad parents bringing up their kids in very poor conditions, without scenes that would show it as humorous. There were funny moments, but you would still cringe right after laughing. What I found mesmerizing (looking back) was how it was "secretly" collecting and piggy-banking little bits and pieces of your emotions, without you really realizing it until it decided to hit you with it in the end. I find that incredibly rare, that you don't know what the movie is doing to you while it is doing to you. For that (feeling like you are at the mercy of this talented director and he knows exactly where he is going with his movie and why) and for the incredible acting in it I would say its worth the trip and the money to see it on a big screen if you can.

I will definitely see this! It sounds like a think piece.

I just saw My Friend Dahmer today. It was very good. If you are at all interested in biographical pieces relating to serial killers, this one is a one to see. It presents a quite complex character and stays true to reality a lot from what I gather and what the director said today after the screening. I understand not everybody will be pleased watching this movie, but to me it was very well done because it did not present just one side to the murderer, but at the same time didn't feel like it was forcefully trying to humanize him.

Thoughts on Detroit at all? I am about to buy.

Thoughts on Detroit at all? I am about to buy. Worth seeing. But you should know its not about the riots overall, as much as it is about one isolated incident in one house. I So unless your expectations are different, I dont think you would be disappointed. It has great acting (very good genre turn in the career of Will Poulter) and maps a very interesting story. It does take a bit of time to get to the main story, but its a well made movie. I would watch it again.

I am planning on buying that very soon as well as Blade Runner 2049.

I still need to see Phantom Thread and Darkest Hour.
