What movies are you watching?

Watching Ricochet (1991)

Goddamn, Denzel just oozes charisma.

haven't seen this in years but I remember it being really gritty

This was a great time. A little Cape Fear, a little French Connection 2 and a lot of crazy. Lithgow was such a great psycho.

Rollerball. James Caan was wild in the 70’s

Loved this. James Caan is fantastic.

Overall, I really liked this, but it’s kind of a mixed bag. Still not sure how I feel about Joaquin Phoenix’s performance. Right now I’m leaning towards “didn’t quite work for me”. I kind of wish they had just picked a lane and gone all in with the dark comedy.

The battle scenes were incredible. The military strategy was depicted very clearly and it was easy to follow what was going on, which is always appreciated. Thanks, Ridley.

Rewatched The Long Good Friday this evening. What a fantastic movie. Great score and a killer lead performance from Bob Hoskins.

Did you like the Supet Mario Bros (1993) movie?

I thought I'd seen the Illusionist before, but I guess I havent. Bunch of Scooby-Doo bullshit. Not good.

Yeah that movie sucks hard. Crazy how many people like or love it.

Is it better or worse than Now you see me?

Haven't seen it, but I hear it's really bad too

Is Ed Norton actually a good actor? He always seems to be making the exact same face. I liked him in Kingdom of Heaven (under a mask) but the last movie I saw him in was Red Dragon and he was awful.

Maybe he should stick to voice acting.

I think he's very inconsistent. He displayed some fun, novel charm in the 90s in movies like American History X and Rounders. I tried watching that Motherless Brooklyn movie he wrote, directed and starred in several years ago, and "oof" is all I can say about that one. But he was good in like, what else, ... Birdman. I just think he kind of worn out his welcome and showed all he has to offer. He's about on par with Leo with his acting ability but doesn't have his looks or charisma.

Is Birdman worth a watch?

oh yeah! you'll like it, though might find it a tad pretentious

I think this is right on the money.

oh, he was charming in Fight Club too... what else...

[BurtReynolds]

Did you know that Edward Norton is insanely rich? He has like 300 million dollars.

It's utter nonsense. Excepting the bit about Motherless Brooklyn which I haven't seen, but have no desire to see, and also the book sucks. But otherwise! Nonsense!

He’s a good actor. Had some great roles.

sorry, you're pro or anti Norton?

For my money, his best role is 25th Hour, but it's not like he stretched out in that role; I just think his resting state served the movie perfectly.

What's Barry Pepper's best role?
