I appreciate that their solution to making the Thor movies better was to basically just make the new one Guardians of the Galaxy.

It definitely looks like they took a page out of Star Lords book. Also helps bring the avengers into the cosmic aspect of marvel
 
Split 9/10

Finally saw this tonight on ppv. M. Night is back, and I'm pumped. The ending totally caught me off guard and actually solved one of the problems I would have had with the movie.

James Mcavoy did a fantastic job playing all the alters, and the actresses that played the therapist and the main girl did a great job portraying their horror in dealing with someone so off balance. I loved how M. Night chose to direct the film where pretty much every shot was head on looking into the camera as it built the tension immensely.

I know there are the haters out there that will never give him a shot again, but if you liked sixth sense, unbreakable, or signs then give this one a shot.

I thought the movie itself was pretty terrible and filled with bad acting and writing (aside from Mcavoy, who was mostly not terrible), but the ending was great.
 
Reviews for Guardians of the Galaxy 2 are out. Pretty good so far. Seems to be pretty similar to the first one.
 
The Lost City of Z: 10.0/10.0

An amazing achievement. Charlie Hunnam is usually just a pretty face but he truly gives a great performance. This film is part adventure story, an anthropological study of both Amazonian and Edwardian societies, social commentary, a film about fathers and sons, the senseless brutality of war, both industrial and tribal, and biopic of a man with a quixotic obsession and unquenchable wanderlust.

For hours afterward I had much to think about.

Nice to hear. Was planning on seeing this over the weekend. It actually played at the Cleveland International Film Festival earlier this month but I couldn't swing the time slots.

For those in Cleveland, it's currently at the Cedar Lee.
 
David Lynch: The Art Life: 8/10

A must-see for everyone who loves his work like I do. RCF David should probably avoid.

It basically chronicles his life from childhood up until he made Eraserhead. Directed by a few dudes that Lynch must trust, and every word in the doc is told by him. Really fascinating look into what made him the person he is today and how important multi-media painting has been for him since the beginning. Making films is really something he chanced upon. Lot of great never before seen footage of him with his family and from early adulthood.
 
Get Out - 8/10

I thought the first half of the movie was a bit slow and boring, but the second half was great. It definitely went in a direction I wasn't expecting, and had some cool twists.

But seriously, Chris just made some really dumb decisions at the end of the movie. Like, dude, you're a black guy who just murdered a bunch of rich white people in their home, and you're really gonna fucking call 911? If they had shown up, the movie ends with Chris going to jail for the rest of his life for a triple homicide (or more if he killed the other three people there too, and I guess since he started the fire he could be blamed for killing Jim Hudson too) . I would have killed everyone, burnt that fucking house down, and ran like hell. White or black, ain't no way anyone was going to believe his side of the story.

I will say that at least they explained why he stopped after hitting Georgina, even if it felt like they added his mother's hit and run to his backstory to explain his stupid dumb horror movie behavior at the end.

All in all, enjoyable horror flick and definitely worth a watch. Some really good performances from the entire cast too, and I always like seeing Stephen Root pop up. He's great in everything.

I saw breakdown of his work that articulates a basic sentiment i was alluding to really well -specifically about mulholland drive, but also the body of his work - but expands to veins i wouldnt have when i raised question or even now, if i hadnt heard someone else doing so.

Ill try to find it. The gist was lynch is playing a game and is abtracting to abstract. Its too calculated. Story tellers tell stories and symbolism emerges organically, its what happens when we cant quite articulate what something is but symbolically, we can understand. Lynch works inside out.

Didn't he leave his backpack behind?
 
SPLIT

I finally watched this...so...

I kept waiting for the plot twist and couldn't figure out if I wasn't paying enough attention or there wasn't one. I wouldn't call Bruce Willis a plot twist either. So nothing played out with the girl's molesting uncle? Someone explain if there is anything going on besides what happened on the surface: a guy with multiple personalities kidnapped some girls and killed his psychiatrist. He maybe morphed into some animal-ish man.
