Date: September 28th, 2026 3:14 PM Author: talented territorial shrine giraffe A Simple Plan - 1998 - Sam Raimi - 5/5 - loved the locations they filmed this in
High and Low - 1963 - Akira Kurosawa - 5/5 - Masterpiece crime procedural
Paths of Glory - 1957 - Stanley Kubrick - 4.5/5 - Sad!
Parasite - 2019 - Bong Joon Ho - 4.5/5 - Beautiful cinematography. Ending was a letdown
CODA - 2021 - Sian Heder - 4.5/5 - Actually made me cry
Chilly Scenes of Winter - 1979 - Joan Micklin Silver - 4/5 - cool small little film about loving a woman way more than she loves you. Filmed on location in Salt Lake City in a dreary winter
The Silence of the Lambs - 1991 - Jonathan Demme - 4/5 - had never seen this all the way through. It was pretty good. But I knew all the beats pretty much
Seven Samurai - 1954 - Akira Kurosawa - 4/5 - overrated IMO I couldn't tell the characters apart either
Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie - 2025 - Matt Johnson - 4/5 - Never saw the show or web series this was based on but this was pretty funny and charming on its own
Tony - 2026 - Matt Johnson - 4/5 - Better than I thought it would be
The Weight - 2026 - Padraic McKinley - 3.5/5 - Wanted to like this more but it loses points for being set in Oregon but filmed in Germany, and the 3rd act was unsatisfying and rushed
The Damned United - 2009 - Tom Hooper - 3.5/5 - well made but basically fictional story made by a deranged Huddersfield fan
Breathless - 1960 - Jean-Luc Godard - 3.5/5 - Kinda cool I guess idk who cares. Overrated film IMO
The Love That Remains - 2025 - Hlynur Palmason - 3.5/5 - weird icelandic film but If this guy director write an ending he'd be one of the best directors of all time
Trading Places - 1983 - John Landis - 3.5/5 - kind of a slog tbh
Days of Thunder - 1990 - Tony Scott - 3.5/5 - top gun with cars
TAR - 2022 - Todd Field - 3/5 - had to read the plot summary on wikipedia ro even understand what this was about.
Akira - 1988 - Katsuhiro Otomo - 3/5 - Cool animation but inscrutable story
Nomadland - 2020 - Chloe Zhao - 3/5 - Tries too hard to be profound and kinda Soulless and chinky
Mission: Impossible II - 2000 - John Woo - 3/5 - tedious
Tuner - 2025 - Daniel Roher - 3/5 - Good well-made, and grounded film ruined by an atrocious final 20 minutes
Best in Show - 2000 - Christopher Guest - 2/5 - not very funny
The Rip - 2026 - Joe Carnahan - 2/5 - Bad script and the worst lighting I have ever seen. streaming slop for ethnic people
La Gradiva - 2026 - Marine Atlan - 0.5/5 - Gay French film about a high school homosexual
Leave No Trace - 2018 - Debra Granik - 0.5/5 - More detached anthropological gaze directed at white proles from the Jewish director of the horrendous "Winter's Bone". Oh so "unblinkingly honest"! I'm so urbane! Utter trash.
Happyend - 2024 - Neo Sora - 0.5/5 - Really shitty leftist Japanese film with a retarded story

Date: September 28th, 2026 3:21 PM Author: Jade flatulent piazza I watched "Tuner" last night and its mediocrity highlights how bad film has become with 94% on RT. It's completely formulaic, paint by numbers with multiple deus ex machinas working in parallel that ruin the masterful opening.
One of the only negative reviews put it perfectly that this was a calling card movie for the director to get attention from studios as a workmanlike operator vs flashy avant garde shit (eg that abomination with Anne Hathaway "Mother Mary" which was also 90% somehow but at least original).
The main character makes a dozen idiotic decisions in a row that prevent the ending from meaning anything. It's like a bunch of random coincidental shit happened, on top of horrific decision making, but none of it ultimately meant anything life-altering to anyone involved. |

Date: September 28th, 2026 3:24 PM Author: talented territorial shrine giraffe Yeah I felt pretty negative about it afterward, the story ended up retarded. But it had elements of a better film. Some of the cinematography was good. The director is a dorky canadian jew (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5907509&forum_id=2#50159073) |

Date: September 28th, 2026 3:49 PM Author: Sexy institution generalized bond keep meaning to watch Tuner, but haven't.
tried watching Trading Places recently for the first time in years. not as good as i remembered it. has high peaks but a lot of valleys.
hated Tony. let's make a movie about that famous chef and television personality. but let's make it about some other boring part of his life no one cares about - him failing to get a scholarship and struggling to get laid as a teenager.

Date: September 28th, 2026 3:54 PM Author: Jade flatulent piazza The "boring part of his life" is heavily featured in multiple episodes of season 1 of "A Cook's Tour". He literally attributes that RI townie experience as the most formative part of his entire life/career as a writer and chef.

Date: September 28th, 2026 5:15 PM Author: Jade flatulent piazza Yeah I can see that. We've been exposed to more chef serials and reality shows than probably any other service industry plus The Bear.
