Recently I watched PATTON (1970) for the first time and I have to say...... seriously where the hell have I been? it was an Epic film about the the expoilts of General George S. Patton during WW2. George C. Scott was amazing and deserved the Oscar (which he turned down) for Best Actor. The supporting cast was also great especially Karl Malden as General Bradley. The only fault in the film was that there were no subtitles for the German boardroom scenes etc in the print that I watched on Fox Classics. I give this film a 4.5 out of 5

eyes of my mother 3.5/5 stark, barebones, b&w arthouse horror. it's perhaps a touch too simple & underdeveloped, but it has quite a few truly creepy, even nightmare-ish scenes that ought to make it worth a watch for genre fans. | |

I love Network (1976) I give 5 out of 5 it was so ahead of its time, Faye Dunaway totally slays as Diana Christensen and its one of Sidney Lumet's best work as a director . The 1976 film that foretold the rise of Trump, invented reality TV and made suicide a spectacle https://www.spectator.co....pectacle/# Keep Calm & Listen To Prince | |

it comes at night - 4/5 tells a story that you've likely seen a billion times (in a post-apocalyptic world, people discover that they are still their own worst enemy), but i thought it was incredibly effective. believable characters, every one of them likable & sympathetic & acting in a realistic manner in a hopeless , unrelentingly bleak situation. and there is a scene near the end that surprised and shocked me as much as anything i've seen in a movie or tv show since breaking bad's s4 final episode.

Last night I watched All Eyez On Me (2017) the Tupac biopic. On a positive note the look of the film really did have that 90s feel to it, and the cast especially Demetrius Shipp Jr, Kat Graham and Dominic Santana were pretty impressive in what they were given to work with. However, I noticed that the film makers chose to leave out key moments in Tupac's life. For example, there is no mention of his clash with the Hughes Brothers on the set of Menace to Society (1993) resulting in him serving 15 days in jail for assault. Also absent was the AIDs test drama surrounding Janet on the set of Poetic Justice and briefly dating Madonna. Finally his marriage to Keisha Morris in 1995 while he was in prison was left out, which left me annoyed because there is alot of info out there that could have been used to flesh out the film to highlight the complexity of his life.
Anyway I give this film a 3 out of 5 because you could tell that the filmakers had a great intention of making a fair and balance portrayal of Tupac, but they came off short with an underbaked screenplay. Also if anyone else here has seen the film, was that Snoop Dogg himself doing voice over work for his character in the film? Because it sure sounded like him. Is All Eyez On Me the worst biopic? Nope, Man In the Mirror (2004) is still holds that title because its totally unwatchable

You are right on all accounts. I kept saying creepy through the whole movie. Dunno if I'd recommend this movie very off kilter. Thus dunno if I can rate this movie either, although kept me watching till the end. Just Music-No Categories-Enjoy It! | |

I personally would give the movie a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I thought it was really really good although it was inaccurate but the actor did a REALLY damn good job playing Tupac. I thought he was Tupac and the actress that played his mother did really good too. I think Snoop did the voice for the actor that played his character. I think they could have gotten someone who looked more like him. I think they focused on his friendship with Jada too much and some parts were fabricated. I was surprised they didn't cover the movie he did with Janet, Poetic Justice which was a really iconic moment for him. A lot of Janet fans say that AIDs test was just a rumor...but I believe that Janet's people approached Tupac with a test and yes that was rude (Dont see why Tupac would lie about that).

edge of seventeen - 3.5/5 does a pretty good job of walking a fairly tricky tightrope. it's clever without tipping into that 'nowhere in the world have there ever existed teenagers this witty & effortless with a quip' realm that annoys me a bit at times, and manages to be kinda sweet while avoiding mawkishness. i liked it quite a bit. | |

about Danai Gurira as Afeni Shakur, she was great. Like I said the cast was good with what they had to work with.......just the script was half-baked. Also according to Tupac in this interview janet changed her phone number too which is a shame, they made such a cute couple in the film and thought they would be friends.

Yea I don't think it was nice the way she treated him during the movie and after the film. Tupac had thick skin so he probably just brushed it off and laughed about it but still and he is right asking for a AIDs test is insulting and if I was him I would not have taken the test either. I don't see why they had to stop being friends after the movie. Janet was a big diva during this period.

the incident (2014) 3.5/5 - fairly trippy mexican indie. two groups get trapped in geographical loops, unable to escape out of a stairwell and road. has a definite feeling of a better than average twilight zone episode, and it also has strong echoes of philip k dick (whose 'time out of joint' shows up as the only book one group has to read for 35 years). not necessarily an improvement on its inspirations, but i'd certainly say it's at least as good as most of the culty/mind bending american films of recent years like coherence & the one i love.

night moves - 4/5 radical environmentalists plot to blow up a dam. the first half of this movie is almost a conventional thriller, which is pretty atypical for a kelly reichardt movie. it's a fairly tense, relatively (for her) propulsive nail-biter, until mid-point when it reverts to the kind of meandering indie-drama that you will expect if you've seen her other movies. and like her other films, it ends on an extremely unresolved note. i don't think this quite rises to the level of meek's cut-off, her best film imo, but it's still fascinating & i love spending time in the worlds she creates. | |
