I try not to pick movies apart these days but the band was a collection of morons that gave me no reason to care about them. Surprise violence is cool if you're drunk or I suppose high on something but I hated every second I watched. I wanted EVERYONE on screen to die, that gives me no joy. The same goes for Foxcatcher.
Just saw Jungle Book, the imagery was beautiful it was well done. Though I was somewhat disappointed with King Louie. Also saw Money Monster: alright movie, as entertaining as George Clooney's acting can be. Good story. Julia Roberts makes him a better actor. Hail Caesar: A weird movie about the movie industry Keanu: Loved it. Funny as shit! The Bronze: Good movie, even if you don't care for gymnastics or the Olympics, it's cruelly hillarius, though kinda fucking depressing at points.
Matt Damon in his newest Jason Bourne adventure. I heard he got paid based on his dialog. With clever business acumen, the producer created non stop action. It deserves a 3.5 star rating. I love the ending!!!
Kinda worried Disney is going to do to Star Wars what I (kind of) feel they have done with marvel - Shove it down our throats until we are sick of it. There is certainly such thing as "too much of a good thing". I guess if Santee ever gets his Jar Jar movie we will know that day has come. And let's not kid ourselves, disney will keep making the movies as long as they earn money, which scarily makes this scenario a possibility.
East Jerusalem/West Jerusalem..documentary about an Israeli folksinger collaborating with Steve Earl and a Palestinian filmmaker to record an album in the West Bank...both Israeli and Palestinian artists contribute...wonderful insight into musicians who grew up in that refugee camp..talk about a wall
I saw Sully over the weekend. Pretty good film actually. Is it possible for Tom Hanks to do a bad movie? I swear, it was like The Burbs (which I actually kinda liked) and Joe Vs. The Volcano..... the rest seamless.
