Dick Allen Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I Tonya was a lot better than I was expecting. It had a bit of everything, times you wouldn't feel sorry for her. Times when you think most of her problems weren't her fault, and a lot of laughs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Bright was good. It has potential, but I didn't see the need to use the F word in every other sentence. I'm not a prude, but it seemed really out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Shape of Water was very good, but I’m not convinced that film or Lady Bird (prefer Edge of Seventeen, actually) is the best film of the year. Oldman should definitely pick up the win for The Darkest Hour. Three Billboards is the front runner, IMO.

BigSqwert Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Finally got around to watching the Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito documentary on Netflix. A must watch for any hip hop fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I, Tonya was ok. I like how it was done like a feaux documentary in some ways. It’s really made to make Harding look like a sympathetic figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 All the Money in the World was good, not great. I would give Molly's World good because as a heterosexual male Jessica Chastain is nice to look at for 2 hours, but thought in reality it was only slightly above average. This moviepass thing is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This moviepass thing is awesome. Co-sign. The theaters are also letting me use my rewards card so I am getting points and free stuff like drinks and popcorn without spending anything outside the $10 a month. I keep waiting for them to be like, No more rewards if you use MoviePass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Three Billboards was really really good. Not sure how I feel about the ending, but the rest of the movie was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's trying to get sponsorship. Everytime someone uses Moviepass, he loses money. Also, you didn't pay for the $90 annual use when the deal was out there, coming out to like $7.50?

caulfield12 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think The Post just might win the Oscar ... not ordinarily, but because of the current political climate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Molly's Game isn't a GREAT film, but it has great performances from both Jessica Chastain (surprised her outfits throughtout the movie haven't come under more scrutiny in the current environment) and Idris Elba. Costner was his usual solid self in a supporting role, which has become his late career niche. Aaron Sorkin definitely is worthy of yet another screenwriting nomination for the upcoming Oscars.

The problem is that there's no real clear winner. Last year, movies like Lion or Hidden Figures were much better (IMO) than 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, Lady Bird, etc. Brooklyn was much better than Lady Bird, for that matter, or The Edge of Seventeen, which almost nobody saw. Molly's Game is similar to The Post, in that Chastain and Streep are getting a ton of hype...Bob Odenkirk deserves it for his supporting role. Get Out, to me, just isn't Best Picture material...I can't remember the last time a horror film made it. Coco...animated movies have never done well, other than Beauty & the Beast back almost 25 years ago. Fwiw, here's a site's betting odds with favorites in order: 3 Billboards The Shape of Water (not quite good enough, but surely a unique film) Dunkirk (not enough dominant acting performances to carry it to best film) Get Out (loses because of genre and amount of time since most have seen it) The Post Call Me By Your Name (a film about a gay couple might not be seen by enough, although look at The Artist) The Florida Project (not enough have seen it) Molly's Game The Greatest Showman (no interest in seeing this one) The Darkest Hour (great Oldman performance, but not a great film again...very good) The Disaster Artist (momentum moving away from James Franco/Tommy Wiseau) I, Tonya (great work by Janney/Robbie) Kings Mudbound (I would actually put this solidly in the Top 10, but almost nobody has seen it) Doubt it will happen, but would like to see Baby Driver (but Spacey) up there Edited January 19, 2018 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I think the SAG awards are a pretty good indication on what we'll see at Oscars. Oldman, McDormand look to be leaders for leading categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Looks like the shake up in voters paid off. Lady Bird and Get Out getting mass recognition. Even Logan. Gonna have to check out Shape of Water this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
