Movie/film suggestions.


 

While this is of course a forum for the discussion of all things audio/hi-fi and music, pretty much all of us are also lovers of movies, the enjoyment of which is effected by the reproduction of the sound they contain (with the exception of silent movies wink).

I've been focused on David Lynch movies since his death, but with current events so much a part of our lives at the moment, I plan on re-watching a movie I’ve seen only once, and years ago. That movie is:

The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no?

We’re The Millers. Had several belly laughs with Jason Sudekas, Jennifer Anniston and all others.... especially their ’son’. 

Watched my first Creed movie recently.....Creed II. I thought it was really well and thoughtfully done 

 

 

Rewatching "A Vigilante" with Olivia Wilde. I thought she was wonderful in this physical role.

"Birdman" Wonderfully acted by all.... Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Emma Stone. I loved the camera work along with the narration.

^ Woody Harrelson spreading his wings. He's similar to Hanks in that they are unlikely looking stars but are always able to pull off a wide variety of roles 

Watched "Transsiberian" yesterday. I was very impressed. Had some plot twists that were kind of unexpected. Emily Mortimer was excellent and Ben Kingsley usually is.

Watched "BlacKkKlansman" by Spike Lee for my first time .

Thought it had relevant commentary regarding our current administration.

Currently watching a movie I just came across, "A Single Shot" with Sam Rockwell. William H Macy plays a local attorney, set in the hills of West Virginia with dark themes and an overall dark atmosphere...my kind of movie! Just got three star rating on Prime but never can tell.

"Crazy Heart"....been a while since I saw it but remember it fondly, especially the soundtrack. Maggie Gyllenhaal was cute as a button.

I too, rewatched recently. Really love all the supporting cast. They contribute highly to the film.

"Killer Joe"   Never seen Matthew McConaughey like this before. Never will again.

"Home Sweet Hell". Watched recently and found it to be very well done with an interesting plot.

 

Depp was very convincing in "Black Mass"

The Revenant is a great movie!

Just rewatched The Wolf Of Wall Street"

 

Watched "Monsters’ Ball" recently. I had forgotten Heith Ledger was in this film.

Kind of at a loss for words to describe my take.The last scene on the side steps, drinking a beer.....Haley realizes after putting all the pieces together, and accepting that, realizes this is now her life 

Mentioning Renee Zelwegger reminded me of the wonderful job she did in "Judy".

Watched "Cinderella Man" recently. I was pleasantly surprised. Great cast...Russell Crowe, Renee Zelwegger, Paul Giomotti......who is really a great actor.

Watched "Spotlight" for the second since it was released. Really well done.

Interesting to watch "Quiz Show" again after all these years. John Turturro is great.

Watched "The Wrestler" again with Micky Rourke. I thought it was still really good.

"Defendor" Woody Harellson delivers another outstanding performance in this little talked about film.

Melissa McCarthy is hilarious in Tammy. In many more memorable roles as well. St. Vincent with McCarthy & Bill Murray is an excellent movie.

Rewatched "Capote" recently. We lost a great actor in Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Army Of One. Inspired by a true story.....Nick Cage goes on a mission from God (Russell Brand) to capture Osama Bin Laden and bring him back to face justice.

"A Man Called Otto" 

Explores dark themes with a positive twist. Who thought the fresh faced Tom Hanks could evolve in any role he chose.

I admit to liking films leaning towards the dark side at times. Jim Carrey's character in "Dark Crimes" was mesmerizing IMO. Filmed in B&W for added effect.
