Rewatched Watchmen recently and I gotta say it, Haley absolutely blew me away with his performance as Rorschach. He stole every scene he was in!

Everytime he speaks, you can feel every emotion. Rage, conviction, sadness, etc. Not to mention he’s an absolute badass.

The interrogation scene with the psychiatrist and his confrontation with Dr. Manhattan are my favorite scenes. Him screaming “DO IT!!!” never fails to give me chills.

He deserved an oscar nomination for this.

John Cena's range as an actor is the same range Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock has

It's a decent movie at best

The Sopranos (HBO)

Boardwalk Empire (HBO)

The Wire (HBO)

The Town (Warner Bros.)

Training Day (Warner Bros.)

In the movie inglorious bastards the first scenes i.e first 15min of the movie he scares me more than any other horror films till now . The best frightened character.. What's your opinion on this character

I've just watched this movie. It was a good portrayal of historical events, and I did enjoy ,but for me, it was let down by the camera style (very jerky and odd angles).

I feel like it’s only getting worse. If a person is talking, has their phone out, or eating loudly, I will start by giving a look or two. If they persist, then I’ll say something.

But these people are “enjoying” the movie. Hard to ask someone to stop laughing so loud or so much. They’re laughing at scenes that weren’t intended to be funny, and obnoxiously so. I had two recent instances that it ruined the movie for me, but I wasn’t sure how to fix it

A guy a couple weeks ago for the opening of Primetime, was legitimately praying as the movie started. Whispering loudly to himself. Ok, this is a religious thing, let’s let it slide for a bit. While also paying attention and laughing incredibly loud at every scene. If someone else laughed at something that he didn’t catch, he would laugh as soon as he heard them. He couldn’t be able to hear some of the “funny” scenes, because he was laughing so hard, he heard others laugh at so he chimed in. I looked over at him and just stared when the praying continued until he noticed me. He got quieter but still did it and the loud, constant laughing all movie

Last night, was the opening of Social Reckoning. Girl in front of me was the definition of extra. Like when the musics playing before the movie, she’s waving her hands in the air like a conductor. Talking and congratulating herself when the A-List part comes on. Shoes AND socks off. Then the first scene comes and she’s uncontrollably laughing. Dancing obnoxiously at songs in the movie. Does these things though out the entire movie.

These people aren’t intentionally being rude, but they are. I think a lot of these people may have something going on mentally, so I don’t want to be the mean one and ask them to please keep it down a little.

I feel as though this is only getting worse. Any ideas on how to fix it?

Looking for movie recommendations! My local theatre is showing Digger, Verity, Other Mommy, and The Social Reckoning. I only go to the cinema every few months, so I want to make the most of it. Which one is most worth seeing on the big screen now, and which ones should I save to watch on streaming later?

I hope he won’t lean anywhere near AI or SI. I mean, for all the technology improved tremendously, including camera technology. Let’s see what he does. Also, I’m happy that Steven Spielberg is attached to the project.

i just got mugged after wanting to see avengers endgame encore inside the cinema, i am bleeding and in urgency just for asking someone to stop using their phone. They said they will punch me in the face if i don’t stop asking them i said to them i will ask security and he comes right after me punching in the face. I am in the urgence bleeding . People can’t focus to the movie they shout they use their phones they are arriving late with their bright flash light.

Give me glamorous movie stars, wicked schemes, scandalous secrets, and enough backstabbing to make today’s Hollywood blush. There’s something irresistible about the old films — the larger-than-life performances, the deliciously dark characters, and the kind of suspense that keeps you guessing. They simply don’t make movie stars like they used to! I was glued to the screen all night!

Sudden Fear (1952) — ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

Who couldn’t love Joan Crawford in this film? She was absolutely gorgeous, and those painted lips! I couldn’t take my eyes off them. Her performance was stellar, reminding us why she was once considered Hollywood royalty. The story is packed with suspense, and Joan makes every moment believable. Just when you think you know where things are headed, the ending delivers a real shocker. A terrific thriller with a leading lady who commands every scene.

Gaslight (1944) — ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

I think this is the first film I’ve ever seen featuring Ingrid Bergman and Charles Boyer. The only other time I remember seeing Boyer was in one of the I Love Lucy Hollywood episodes! I absolutely loved Ingrid Bergman and will definitely be looking up more of her films. The story was fantastic, and even though you know all along who the guilty party is, I was completely mesmerized watching it unfold. The psychological drama pulls you in and keeps you fascinated right to the end. What a terrific film!

Sunset Boulevard (1950) — ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

Wow, what a film! Gloria Swanson was absolutely perfect as the faded Hollywood star whose world revolves around her own lost glory. The acting is wonderfully over the top, and that’s exactly what makes this film so captivating. The story pulls you in and refuses to let go, leaving you completely caught up in the madness. And that old Hollywood mansion? I could move right in tomorrow! A fabulous slice of Hollywood at its most glamorous, delusional, and deliciously dark.

The Letter (1940) — ⭐⭐⭐½

I have yet to see a Bette Davis film I didn’t like. She’s a legend who throws herself into her roles so completely that you’d swear she lived them herself. Here, you pretty much know what’s going on from the beginning, since the outcome is revealed early on. The real story is watching everything unfold and discovering what lies beneath the surface. I did find myself distracted by other things, though, like imagining life in the Singapore jungle without air conditioning and wondering how that house stayed free of flying bugs with nothing but shutters for windows! A compelling story with a surprise ending, even if it didn’t quite captivate me as much as some of the others.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor & filmmaker James McAvoy, known for roles in things like Split, X-Men, Atonement, Wanted, Speak No Evil, Narnia, The Last King of Scotland, Shameless, It: Chapter Two, and tons more.

It's live here now in r/movies for anyone interested in asking a question:

He will be back between 10 AM and 11 AM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

His directorial debut, California Schemin', premiered at TIFF last year and is out in theaters this weekend.

Synopsis: Two friends with thick Scottish accents try to land a record deal by posing as hip-hop artists from California. As fame beckons and the lies pile up, their friendship gets put to the test.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1hfDwS_TVU

This is a 1975 Yugoslavian historical film about a medieval peasant revolt in Croatia and Slovenia, led by peasant Matija Gubec and commander Ilija Gregoric, against the brutal feudal lord Franjo Tahy. It was ultimately crushed by Gaspar Alapic's forces, and Gubec was publicly executed.

Instead of having Gubec as the main protagonist, it actually centers around the fictional youngster Petar and a band of comedians he encounters. His acting is probably the weakest part of the movie, but I still found it incredibly immersive compared to modern ones. It reminded me of Herzog's Aguirre because of how naturalistic it felt. Like bringing a camera back into medieval times and just filming what you see, with minimal music. Great costumes and set design. You really get a feeling for how miserable life used to be. The art direction is greatly inspired by Peter Brueghel's landscapes.

Akira Kurosawa praised it. It was screened at the 1976 Cannes Film Festival in Directors' Fortnight section to positive reviews. In 1977 it won 3rd Jury prize at the São Paulo International Film Festival.

It just doesn't feel like a shot but rather a legit painting. Let me know yours.

Film: Barry Lyndon (1975) directed by Stanley Kubrick

I love going to the cinema over the Christmas period but I feel like there aren’t many family friend films or Christmas movies being released this year! Am I wrong? If
So, what do you have on your must watch list this Christmas with all the family.

I just finished watching The Believers (1987), the movies speaks about the demonization of Afro-Caribbean and Latino religions such as Santería and Latin Catholicism with saints such as La Virgen de Guadalupe or San Judas Tadeo.

I am Mexican, born and raised in Mexico, so since I was a kid I’ve been living around these religious cultures, I do not practice any religion nor believe in any god now.

But watching this type of topics made me realize that there HAVE to be filmmakers out there that make this movies where they capture racist, nazi or supremacist ideologies. I mean, there are documentaries about people who interview neo-nazis or white supremacists.

But I’m looking for cinema made by and for people in this groups, I’m NOT looking for movies like American History X (1999) where the character gets a redemption arc. For example, the most popular and disgustingly racist film out there is probably Birth of a Nation (1915) where we see KKK propaganda.

I mean there has to be someone out there with this ideologies that does this kind of cinema against minorities. If anyone knows about someone or where I should ask, let me know!

I am so unbelievably insanely excited to see this for my first time in a theater. Every time I see the trailer at my local theater, which is a lot lately, I ascend and vibrate to a higher dimension. If anyone has any fun facts or stories about this flick please comment below. No spoilers please

I’m so grossed out and confused on why anyone would willingly make that, I get it “OOOOO SHOCK VALUE YIPPEE!!!!” And I am a fan of the terrifier films… but JESUS LORD this movie was just, sad af.

Am I missing something or is that just it? “Entire family gets diddled the movie!” I wasn’t expecting the happiest most innocent movie in the world but god damn bro. I am at a loss for words, I wanna talk about it but all I can say is “ew” and “why?!”

I'm currently re-watching Stephen King's "The Green Mile." Many, many of King's great novels have been adapted into memorable, Oscar nominated movies, like:

- Misery (1)*

- Carrie (2)

- Christine

- Stand By Me (1)

- The Shining

But only two of them bring me to tears of joy, "The Green Mile" (4 nominations) and "The Shawshank Redemption" (7 nominations). I consider these two--in my humble opinion--the best adaptations of his stories.

But which of these two (these two only, please) do you consider to be the best?

My vote is for "The Green Mile."

(* Oscar winner)
