Movies that don't suck

[Too Tall]

Let's get back ontop of this.

Deadpool - By no means a brilliant movie. If you are in the right frame of mind it is hysterically funny in a bad boy Marvel Comics sort of way.

FWIIW Marvel is banging out some great stuff lately.

"The Witch" is incredibly good. Go see it. I won't ruin anything. The attention to detail is astounding. Not your typical horror movie.

[David Tollefson]

Second on Deadpool. Caught it last night with my wife. We laughed from the opening to the end. So many references to other flicks. So many lines so bad they're good.

[Dallas Tex]

Deadpool is absolutely glorious.

Watched The Martian this weekend.

It was ok, but at least it was slow.

"Goodnight Mommy"

People walked out of the theater. It's that good. Not for the faint-hearted.

Why would people walk out? I mean it's great, and it should be seen, but I really don't know why people walked out?
Curious, genuinely....

I'd forgotten about Noi Albino

"Hey everyone"

The last ~ 3 seconds of this trailer... made my day.

It's ten years old now, but I only recently saw The Lives of Others and thought it was great.

I finally got to see Deadpool. It was a film playing on my Delta deadhead flight from Tampa-Minneapolis/St. Paul at the end of a seemingly interminable day of more than 15 hours. This is still legal? At least I wasn't flying at the end but it was awful. The movie on the tiny screen made the flight go by way faster. I'd give it a 9/10 in the entertainment category. Not deep, but fun to watch.

I have mixed feelings about these mutant/superhero/antihero films. Mostly I don't like them. But I like the Ironman movies. And I can't get enough of the Batman movies with Christian Bale and Heath Ledger is a terrifying Joker in a film that should be taken no more seriously than the 60s TV show. But he and Christian Bale and Michael Caine are so good in those stories that I can't get enough and I wish there were more of them.

Then comes Deadpool with the fourth wall violations throughout the movie and the nonstop profanity and sense of humor throughout and I liked it a lot better. It makes fun of the genre and that made the whole story worthwhile.

It was the high point of my day, though it was basically a good day. Just way, way too long and too crowded.

"Sunrise: A Song Of Two Humans"

At the risk of revealing myself as a total fraud: Sing Street
This is 100% high school fluff. The movie will not at many point cause you to think.

My local cable provider has had The Hundred-Foot Journey on endless rotation for the past month or so.

First time I watched it I was enthralled; the director and cinematographer clearly love food, and so the way they portray it is captivating. Excellent performances all around, engaging/charming story, beautifully shot, what's not to like?

By the fourth or fifth time I watched it I not only was surprised at how enthralling it remained, but I also realized that the director and cinematographer clearly also love light; nearly every scene has a light source -- sometimes natural, sometimes not, sometimes onscreen, sometimes off, sometimes real/diagetic, sometimes surreal -- and that light infuses every scene with a fascinating sense of drama. The light is almost another character in the story.

Highly recommended.

I watched “The Drop” last weekend.
One of Gandolfini’s last wraps, and Tom Hardy was great in it as well.

Worth seeing.

Second on Deadpool. Caught it last night with my wife. We laughed from the opening to the end. So many references to other flicks. So many lines so bad they're good.

Finally watched Deadpool. Just as I was starting to get bored of all the superhero movies Deadpool comes along and pulls me right back in. It wasn't a great work of cinematic art, but damn was it entertaining.

13 Hours was pretty good.

Speaking of movies that don't suck, July will see a bunch of Albert Brooks films on Netflix for the first time:

Exclusive: Albert Brooks films are swimming to Netflix

Jack Reacher. Very good dialogue in a small and very well made movie. Made by people who know what to do w/ a story.

Nocturnal Animals is my movie of the year.

Worth the $16.00 ticket.
