Such a wide variety of films coming out. First, we had the horror wave, then the space horror, then the graphic, twisty, sort of female in peril horror. So diverse ;).

How about some good ole fashioned Tommy Cruise?

Cruise is a hell of a producer.

I think its a series, isn't it?
Yes I think so. I can't tell if it's based off a book alone or a combination of them. I really liked the first 3 or 4 in the series and then Patterson became the Thomas Kinkade of the book world. :rolleyes:

So much out there it’s hard to keep up. But, I know the TMB cinephiles love nothing more than a gritty war film. A24 doesn’t miss much and this looks good.

Do we trust Garland @Midnighter after the last outing? Civil War was what? A success? A failure? Unnecessarily violent? Many critics liked it but the viewing public was less gracious with their reviews.

Take away his nuttiness, and his 40 year run is almost unfathomable. So many amazing movies, doing stunts himself, and as you said, truly a great actor.

Risky Business, All the Right Moves, Top Gun, The Color of Money, Cocktail, Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, Days of Thunder, a Few Good Men, The Firm, Interview With a Vampire, Jerry Maguire, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, Minority Report, the Last Sumarai, Collateral, Edge of Tomorrow, the entire Mission: Impossible Series. I mean it's just absurd.

I would argue that he plays the same cocky guy in every movie. Cocky kid, cocky football player, cocky pilot, cocky vampire, cocky race car driver, and don’t get me started on Cocktail.



Just kidding. He makes good movies.

Juror #2 on MAX was pretty good. I don't know if Clint Eastwood has ever directed a bad movie.
I really don’t like Unforgiven, but I’m sure I’m in the minority here. And Million Dollar Baby, I don’t think it’s aged all that well. But TOJW and Mystic River are enduring classics.


Sean Devine: So Jimmy, when was the last time you saw Dave?
Jimmy Markum: The last time I saw Dave...
Sean Devine: Yeah, Dave Boyle.
Jimmy Markum: Dave Boyle...
Sean Devine: Yeah Jimmy, Dave Boyle.
Jimmy Markum: That was twenty-five years ago, going up this street, in the back of that car.

Not that I’ve noticed but the Bob Dylan movie is 79% Tomatometer.

FWIW, the Coen Brothers “Inside Llewelyn Davis” is very fine.
Just got back from ‘ a complete unknown’. I and my wife, who is very picky, both enjoyed it It only covers from 1961_1965. Not sure how it will play with younger generations, it seems this Dylan guy was written using Bruce Springsteen as a role model.

is it just a lead up to the Newport Jazz concert or does it include it as well?
I will be interested to see it.

I don’t get the Springsteen reference. Are you saying that the film seems to reflect Springsteen’s career more than it does Dylan’s?
