I was looking at Rotten Tomatoes ratings last night for a few movies.

The Conclave 93
A complete unknown 79
The Brutalist 93
All you imagine as light 100
Real Pain 96
The seed of the sacred fig 94

These are the movies I had planned on watching, before I saw what Rotten tomatoes said.

I read rave reviews of The Brutalist and Adrien Brody. Now I am really curious about this movie. It is 3 hours and 35 minutes long. That is a concern. I prefer movies that are less than 2.5 hours long. I love it when they are just 2 hours long. Not sure if this movie has an intermission.

I may watch Anora because of the Oscar buzz, but it will be later.

Definitely want to watch September 5- about the 1972 Munich Olympics terror attack. I had liked Spielberg’s movie ‘Munich’ but this one has a different perspective - from the reporters’ view.

I would say for myself d the conclave, A Complete Unknown, not sure yet about the Brutalist .. I’m kinda not sure about about the 1972 Olympics - I was only 8 years old then … I can’t do Holocaust movies and horror movies. I have movie rules for myself . There are other rules for myself but I’ll leave it at that

It took me years before I was ready to watch Schindler’s List .

I watched Conclave last night on Peacock. I'm surprised I enjoyed such a dry seeming movie (the subject matter) so much. All the actors were great - I can totally see the nomination for Ralph Fiennes for best actor. As far as the twists went, I saw the first one coming, but not the second, even though I was fully prepared by reviews here that there would be one.

There were more than one Twist? I only saw one twist when I watched the movie. DM me what was the other one your referencing?

My friend saw it and loved the twist at the end. Then she said you’ll love it! So I’m committed to renting lol.

So if there are movies based on past events, you don’t want to see them? I have watched movies wherethey events took place before I was born- sometimes hundreds of years

I can understand if you don’t want to watch Holocaust movies but some of them are uplifting inthe end.

I don’t like movies that have gratuitous violence and excessive bloodshed. I still like some war movies.

The movies I really dislike are those with excessive cgi.

We are all different. That makes the world interesting.

Well, we are in garbage new release season, are we?

Kinda Pregnant - Official Trailer

Heart Eyes - Official Trailer

Anything else notable coming out in Q1 2025 other than Captain America: Brave New World and Paddington in Peru? I think both of those movies are set to release on February 14.

I understand that Mickey 17 (March 7) is supposed to be a blockbuster. But IMHO, the trailer makes it look so stupid.

I saw A real pain in a theatre today. It was ok. My plan was to see ‘Seed…’ but I was too tired after a near sleepless night. So I opted for A Real pain. It is short and humorous.

The positives were on a personal level. I love Chopin and I have happy memories of my visit to Poland, years earlier.

I thought the story was not strong, though there were some entertaining moments. There were some serious moments which liked. The acting was good.

I saw the name Jennifer Grey. Is she the one from Dirty dancing? If yes, she is unrecognizable. I know she had plastic surgery.

Yes definitely more than one twist. I really liked the twists though lol. Def wasn’t expecting the final one. I finished watching it last night.

Yes Jennifer Grey from Dirty Dancing. She was 27 at the time Dirty Dancing was filmed. I had to google that lol.

 

[Vash01]

Saw two movies this week

A Real Pain- comedy

It was ok. Neither very good nor very bad. Loved Chopin throughout in the background. Rekindled memories of my visit to Poland many years ago.

All we imagine as light- Art film that takes place in India

Language - Malyalum; subtitles
Slow moving but it kept me interested.
First half takes place in Mumbai, second in an unknown village on a beach.
Some unanswered questions after it ends, but overall well made.

Kudos to Pamela and Jamie Lee

I saw somewhere that the Last Showgirl will be released to more theaters. That’s good news.

 

[canbelto]

Just saw Nosferatu. I thought it was brilliantly filmed and acted. Loved Lily Rose Depp and Nicholas Hoult. I knew the outlines of the story so I wasn't surprised but it was scary. Loved the gray kitty.

Love the graphic but apart from the top four movies and Mission Impossible there really isn’t anything that interest me much. SAW XI ?!?!

Agree about Captain America, Superman, and Mission Impossible. I’m intrigued about the Peaky Blinders movie and Timothée Chalamet-Marty Supreme-Ping pong movie and Guillermo Del Tero’s Frankenstein.

Also, about Karate Kid: Legends - I’m wondering what stunts Jackie Chan is still able to do. I think he’s got to be in his 70s.

It's the 21st Century's Rocky!

My son will want to see Dog Man. Hopefully, we can wait until streaming.

'The Last Showgirl' Review: Pamela Anderson Finally Gets Her Chance to Dazzle

Pamela Anderson shines in ‘The Last Showgirl’

In one way, “The Last Showgirl” comes across as a very personal production for its star. At the same time, there is a universality to the story that will reach a large audience. This duality makes for a production that is intimately touching while feeling emotionally massive. Pamela Anderson...

Meanwhile, Uwe Boll is getting ready to film a vigilante thriller called “The Dark Knight” and it’s starring THIS GUY.

 

[Kasey]

Saw "The Last Showgirl" today. I didn't think much of the movie as a whole, however, Pamela Anderson was indeed amazing, and Jamie Lee Curtis was phenomenal. I swear, Curtis just gets better and better in every movie I see her in. All of the supporting actors were very good as well.
