Watched "2:22" a couple days ago. Odd, trippy, twisty film. I enjoyed it. Michiel Huisman plays an air traffic controller who excels at seeing patterns. His world suddenly turns upside down. He starts seeing visions, and is obsessing about a series of patterns he can't make sense of. Can't tell much more without ruining it. Teresa Palmer plays his love interest. I've enjoyed her in a number of films.

Agree. Fun sci-fi with some great cinematography. Same director as Ex-Machina, but a bit darker of a movie. The end was a bit WTF, but I was fine with it. |
Another vote for Annihilation. Not as good as Ex Machina, but still right up there.

Sounds just like the book! Can't wait...I was going to check it out this weekend..until I looked for movie times and found it is not playing locally. A trip into PDX is in order!

Saw the new version of "Murder on the Orient Express." Good ensemble cast, I enjoyed it for the most part. I wasn't that keen on the ending though. Now I'm curious to watch the 1974 version for comparison. Was kinda cool seeing Daisy Ridley as a character other than Rey.

I was really looking forward to seeing "Lady Bird." I'm a fan of Saoirse Ronan (lead actress) and Great Gerwig (director/writer). I had a hard time with it. Much of it was very mundane. Probably the biggest struggle was that the movie was so much about a mother-daughter relationship, and since I'm a male I've never been a teenage girl, a daughter or a mother, so it wasn't relatable for me. I thought the mom was awful. Just couldn't stop putting her daughter down, was never supportive or encouraging.
I watched a making of segment on the bonus features. I actually enjoyed that much more than the movie itself. Gerwig was the focus of that and she was so charming and endearing, I found myself wishing she would've been on camera during the actual film.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
I went into this one with high hopes. It was written and directed by the same guy that did In Bruges (Martin McDonagh), which is one of my all-time favorite movies. Overall I thought it was a pretty mixed bag. Great performances, but full of implausibilities and with an unlikable main character. Maybe that's not the point. I dunno, I guess I didn't really "get it." I'd be curious to see if anyone else had this reaction considering all the awards/praise this movie has garnered.

Yes...same here. Friends highly recommended this film; I found it sort of meh.
I REALLY like Frances McDormand, and I think her work probably deserved the Oscar.
Sam Rockwell was good....but Oscar?...nah.
Woody H is a d*ck...he plays the same character over and over.
There were better candidates, I think, for all the awards.

To be clear the best male actor went to Oldman in "The Darkest Hour" where I thought he did an excellent job. I thought McDormand deserved the female actor. Rockwell was supporting actor and he seemed as good as the other nominees although he was attacked by the politically correct. Best picture went to "I boinked a fish" which was just as good a film IMO. The academy awards now usually go to the Indy films that come out late in the year. It is a marketing endeavor. In any event it is just a movie.

Saw Black Panther tonight Avery entertaining film with great special effects and amazing costumes. I think my appetite for comic book films is pretty much sated however. The plot was reminiscent of The Lion King to me which of course was also the plot of Richard III.

I've been avoiding M. Night Shyamalan movies for quite a while. I initially had no interest in "Split." But I changed my mind and decided to give it a try. Rather intriguing psychological thriller, fairly unsettling. James McAvoy was great playing a person with at least 23 distinct personalities (and maybe 1 more?). Although not all 23 appeared during the film. He abducts and holds captive 3 young women. I'd seen 2 of them in a few other films--Anya Taylor-Joy and Hailey Lu Richardson--and enjoyed their performances. Both were good in this, as well as the 3rd captive Jessica Sula. I'm really not into horror movies which is part of why I was avoiding this. For the most part I wouldn't call it that, although it contains a few elements of the genre. Definitely worth watching I thought.
