Someone sent this to me. I thought it was pretty cool.

Looks like it hasn’t been delayed after all.

As always we are doing it Saturday 8pm Eastern, here: https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub

We watched this last night and it's definitely the best movie we've seen all year, probably the last few years.

Viggo Mortensen was nominated for Best Actor for his performance in this movie and it's apparent why. He completely disappears into the role, with no remnant of Aragorn, or Captain Fantastic anywhere on screen. You forget who you are even watching.

Mahershala Ali did win an Academy Award for his performance, which is reserved, powerful, intriguing, and believable all at once. I've only seen Ali portray villains before, and I had forgotten about my previous conception of him within the first few scenes.

The chemistry between the two actors is remarkable, and they play off each other very well throughout the movie. We found the movie to have a perfect blend of seriousness, humor, heartbreak, and triumph. The script is great, the acting superb, the directing stellar, and the music is flat out amazing.

The movie doesn't pull punches with the overt racism of the South during that era. The pair - genius musician, and street smart bodyguard - encounter multiple dangerous situations. They save each other, both literally and figuratively, throughout the movie.

Overall I can't praise this movie enough. It is an outstanding accomplishment, and deserved every award that it won. Check it out!

Per the polls we are starting with War games, 80s classic, and then in the room we'll decide between District 9 and This is Spinal Tap.

We are syncing the movie at 8pm here: https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub

Feel free to hang out in the room till then.

I came back from watching Longlegs today. I don't often watch horror movies, but the one trailer I saw intrigued me with the criminal investigation and mystery angle, as that does appeal to me.

Spoiler free/lite review: If you enjoy movies that are carried by atmosphere rather than a strictly coherent plot, you will enjoy this more. There is a lot of symbolism and I'm sure connections between things in the movie that can be made with digging and theorycrafting. If you liked 'Hereditary' or maybe even 'The Lighthouse', this movie is more likely to be for you.

Spoiler thoughts: I bought into this movie thinking it would be "realistic" like 'Silence Of The Lambs' though perhaps with some cult or Satanic elements. I liked the first season of 'The Following' and I absolutely loved how the first season of 'True Detective' played right on the line of supernatural or cosmic horror without ever tipping its hand. 'Longlegs' is not that. Supernatural, specifically Satanic and Biblical elements are at work, actively affecting the plot. There is no ambiguity about that. There is a LOT of ambiguity about what exactly the hell is going on, and I found it frustrating and unsatisfying. Near the end there is an exposition dump that feels like it was added because of studio mandate, but the exposition doesn't really resolve the main questions but instead just affirms the few things already confirmed.

Nic Cage is great. His aged, weirdo, overly cheery serial killer performance is full of maniac joy and/or despair. Maika Monroe, who plays the central FBI agent after Nic Cage really nails her performance as a reserved and overwhelmed, but competent investigator who knows she is somehow mired inside of the case.

This movie felt like the first draft of a script, and my biggest takeaway is I wish it had bounced off of a few more harsh editors before being filmed.

I recognize most of them but there are a few I don't and I'm probably not alone in that.

This is for July 20, 8pm Eastern https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub. It's the best night of the week.

Got new movie ideas? Let me know.

>LEE tells the story of Lee Miller (Winslet), American photographer. Determined to document the truth of the Nazi regime, and in spite of the odds stacked against female correspondents, Lee captured some of the most important images of World War II, for which she paid an enormous personal price.

I search for movies like Inside Man and posts recommended Heat.

But there's pretty much just 2 robberies? In the bank scene, they wear masks but have their faces seen before they even put them on and just open the safe.

Reviews also mention this as a heist movie.

Is there a distinction between heist and robbery? I thought heists were like complex thefts that the people didn't even know that the money is gone

https://cytu.be/r/matrixhub Vote there for the first movie. We are doing 28 Days Later, This is Spinal Tap, and Johnny Mnemonic.
