Nice I'll check that out this weekend

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

miles ahead -great...not a predictable film with the default storyline and direction, wasnt what i expected and was satisfied for just that. Don cheadle said the typical biopic direction would be too simple...he did his shit. i liked the way he was riding around wit his mouthpiece. ...i did that shit afterwards lol . It only showcased his more recognized pressings though...im more than a casual fan of miles so i noticed that...but it was dope how they worked his art n boxing love into the film...when that white boy threw that gun away i yelled in the theather lol...movie had my full investment

now on the othet side

barnershop - i enjoyed seeing gravy on the screen again, but outside of that, didnt like movie at all. jokes didn't hit/wasnt funny ...wasnt much of a direction or conclusion. ..jus felt like shit dragged. my mind wandered. ..almost walked out...n i didn't downgrade the movie behind the following but it had goofy off shit abt chicago. vl meeting's in cornell square park...n they called it holy city, nall.....tyga being named yummy

caddilac records - old movie bout muddy waters. shit is dope and production value is much greater than i expected for a low budget film

House (1986) an author moves in to his deceased aunts home only to find its haunted by demonic spirits and even some of his own past demons

 

[rip.dilla]

The Exorcist - released in 1973 will still shits on all these modern 'horror' flicks

Southpaw - Jake Gyllenhaal as a lightweight boxer who experiences tragedy and redemption. B-movie with a method performance from him. Please stop casting 50 Cent in films .. dude can't act for shit

I dont kno why hollywood insists on casting 50 in movies. I refuse to watch anything he is in.

Jus binged Netflix's Flaked. Im not a big fan of Will Arnett n the reviews have been pretty mixed. But i decided to give it a watch. Its solid imo. Fun, light watch.

[marc123]

This piece of shit owes me 2 hrs of my life back.

I saw Everybody Wants Some yesterday at the cinema... Richard Linklater's new film about a baseball team bonding over three days before college starts in 1980

Linklater might lowkey be one of the finest filmmakers in the game right now. He's attention to detail as regards periodic production design is excellent (another cat I compare to him is Paul Thomas Anderson)

It's a very cool funny movie, with the period backdrop you see the technology used back; good music too, mostly funk and disco. And there's a token Black guy amongst all them Whites

However being the story was based in Austin, Texas and is sort of semi-autobiographical, I wonder why there wasn't any racial undertone in the script with the time period (1980) and Texas being a Southern state

4/5

 

[marc123]

Jus binged season 2. Not as funny as 1, but still very good. Again jus like season 1 some of the comedy is fucking genius. Props to the writers. Cant wait for season 3.

 

[Rampage12]

99 Homes starring Andrew Garfield, Michael Shannon, & Laura Dern. It's about a construction worker who lives with his mother and son who gets evicted from his house during the housing collapse of 2008. But soon after he becomes employed by the same man who evicted them. Basically an exploration on whether you would sell your soul to better your lifestyle. Starts off extremely good but then kind off falls apart during the second half as it becomes more and more cliche. 6/10.

Sicario didn't really blow me away like I thought it would, felt like it was missing something honestly.

I went movie diving for my pops and picked up a couple for myself.

Benecio Del Toro & Tommie Lee Jones star in this movie about an off the rails government trained soldier (BDT) who needs to be brought to heel for some evil shit he did in the past by the man who trained him (TLJ).

Its a cat and mouse thriller with some decent action. The acting won't blow you away nor will the story really but I think its a cool movie. A solid C+ BTD killed a bunch of people in rambo-like fashion, they were making knives in the woods and theres an ill knife fight in here too.

 

[jono]

Pierce Bronsnan stars as a retired spy who is lured back into the life when a friend of his is shot down by a former apprentice. It has all the trappings of a spy movie with the double crosses and plot twists. Which indeed are cliche' but happen in every spy flick sans James Bond.

I like Bronsnan here because he's a bit dark, its cat and mouse in a way but it has alot

A strong B-. I think it might be a little too cliche' as spy stories tend to be. However its not Jason Bourne-ish confusing nor is it overly action packed like a Bond film. I liked it alot.
