One of my favorite moments in the whole trilogy is when Wormtongue sheds a tear when he sees Saruman's army.

This was great. A nice hidden gem

It's like they don't even lift.

I caught just a few random minutes of Sicario, it looked pretty awesome. Should I watch the whole thing?

Well, it LOOKS awesome. I'll give it that. And it has one GREAT set piece.

By "great set piece," am I to infer there is basically one action scene in the movie?

I wouldn't call it an action scene. It's just an obscenely suspenseful and incredibly well-crafted sequence.

It's a well-made, well-acted, and well-shot movie with a naive, terrible script. Kind of par for the course for Villeneuve, basically.

Hmm. I think I should watch it, but sounds like Mrs. Trag might be bored. The scene I watched was the motorcade through some city in Mexico. It felt tense and dangerous without my having any idea what was going on, and it did look great. But there was virtually no dialogue, so I had no insight into the script.

The only other Villeneuve film I've seen is Arrival. Prisoners didn't look interesting to me, but I thought Enemy looked promising.

Continuing LOTR with the 6-year-old. Two Towers is very easily the weakest of these movies. So much downtime. It also seems like they started rushing post-production a bit; the CGI is much clunkier here than it was in Fellowship.

The middle act is always set up and stakes though. But I agree. Two towers is the one I least enjoy of the three.

Pretty sure I've watched all those movies (the director's cut) exactly once. They all blend together in my mind.

I'm on ROTK now. I think it's head and shoulders above the other two. But, again, I love them all.

Yeah I love ROTK. Really satisfying all round.

Always thought there was too severe a shift in tone from fellowship into two towers. Even given how fellowship ends. It's still adventure up to that point. Than it's just really dark and grim all of a sudden.

doctor strange did little for me...nice cast, though

I thought Enemy was exceptional. Sicario was meh.
