nudge 14,492 Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 On a side note, I haven't been watching many movies lately, but I forgot to post about this one: The Greatest Beer Run Ever (2022) Nothing extraordinary, but a thoroughly enjoyable movie based on real events. Zac Efron plays Chickie Donohue, a fella everyone sees as a bit of a loser, who decides to travel from New York to Vietnam in the middle of the war in order to bring beers to his neighbourhood friends fighting there. 6.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is the case they only make it to the streaming channel I don't like the way movies are going, I loved the traditional big screen followed by general release system. Netflix, apple and even Disney seem to be throwing out movies for fun at lower budgets. 40 years from now there won't be any classics, just thousands of rushed low budget movies thrown out to keep streaming service customers happy.

Only in select movie theaters, I believe... And yeah, I see where you're coming from; the quantity does seem to be the preference over actual quality these days. I don't think I would have many movies released in the last decade or so on my all-time favourites list. Actually a good idea for a thread, maybe. I mostly watch TV series these days, both because the length of episodes makes it much easier to fit it into the day, and also because I genuinely think that good TV series are easier to find than good movies nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of genuinely uncomfortable to watch horror scenes, an actual plot with an actual payoff. Also, Tilda Swinton is immense in her roles. Overly long, mildly convoluted ending and the weird b plot shit about Lufthansa drag it down a bit. There was a classic here and it was lost.

But the rest of the film is unspectacular. I don't care if 'it's supposed to be unspectacular cos it's a Massimo Luigi film and they're meant to be like that'. I enjoyed it.

Tommy 11,304 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 At Eternity's Gate (2019) I can see that it probably isn't the average movie watcher's cup of tea. To me it felt like 70% master piece, and 30% over-enthusastic almost too artsy kind of attempt. They did a great job portraying van Gogh's struggle with mental health, and shooting a lot of POV stuff helped to dive into his mind. Great performances from Oscar Isaac, Rupert Friend, Mads Mikkelsen (even though he just had a mini role), and of course first and foremost Willem Dafoe. I like van Gogh's art, and think he's a fascinating character. If you are the same, chances are high that you will enjoy this movie. If you're not interested in any of it, then this movie definitely isn't for you. Oh yeah, beautiful cinematography as well. 7.5/10 Also it made me chuckle that I watched a movie about van Gogh with a van Gogh print above my TV.

It appears it has been better recieved by critics than the general audience from what I can tell.
