The Movie House - Part 9

American Beauty is not good in any way. No way how it won best picture

American Pies though. They're great. Won't hear anything else.

American Psycho also.

American Hustle, Beauty and Sniper are the unofficial "never gonna watch that overrated shit again trilogy"

American History X was good too

Never thought about American Beauty as overrated actually. I watched it long back tho. May be need a rewatch. As of now I consider it as a brilliant movie by Sam Mendes.

Agreed with @Firenze, American History X was frcking awesome.

American History X, American Beauty and American Psycho are among three of my favorite ever films.

American Hustle was meh, never watched American Sniper and never will.

Agree with American History X. Love that film.

Maybe when you all are middle aged men like me and Robes, you'll appreciate American Beauty more

Jesus Christ just seen that the top 5 highest grossing movies of 2016 are all owned by Disney...

1. Civil War
2. Rogue One
3. Finding Dory
4. Zootopia
5. The Jungle Book

Surprised Deadpool isn't there.

American Beauty overrated? I guess you can feel that way, but that movie is awesome.

Yeah there are some cringey moments in it but on the whole it's a great watch. The dinner scene where Kevin Spacey throws the asparagus

Hey what's the scoop on Train to Busan btw? How good is it?

University film club is showing it next weekend. Think I'm going to talk to them about getting involved too

Who cares? Like Really

I think the makers paid A LOT on publicity because it gets advertised like everywhere. Looks like a terrible film.

Showed everything in the trailer also. Looked mediocre.

Can't wait for this ffs

Emma Watson looking 10/10 as Belle. Perfect cast.

I have no idea why Trevante Rhodes wasn't nominated for Moonlight. Performance of the year for me.

I second that^. That final act was all him. Mahershala Ali was class too but still I dont think that part was that hard to do compared to what Rhodes pulled off. The range of emotions he showed was just something.
Anyway I have stopped caring about Oscars. Wont give 2 fks about who win it this term.

Emma Watson should stick to movies such as these and just leave roles that demand acting to other talented girls imo. She was horrible in Colonia and she almost ruined Perks of being a Wallflower for me.

lol at thinking American Beauty is overrated or a poor film. It's one of those films that has a 'complete' feeling to it.

@CB Train to Busan is a must-watch. Join that film club!

Now that I think of it, yea Trevante Rhodes was great, and I can see where Freeza and Glory are coming from. Perhaps he wasn't nominated because of the limited screen time. Felt like the young boy and the adolescent boy had more screen time.

I just loved his acting so much. It was so subtle. The fact they got the most ripped new actor I've seen in a long time and then made him become the former two actors completely was amazing. I'm seriously floored by his performance.

I didn't think he would be believable in the start. But once he got on the phone with Kevin and talked to his mother I lost it.

And his last line is probably one of the most emotional lines I've ever seen. It was amazing.

Can't wait to see La La Land also. Will try to get around to watch all the best pic noms before Sunday and post my top 10 list.


@EG Didn't think screentime was too little. He had 30 minutes or something. That's huge for a supporting role. He just didn't have the political backing I guess.

Can't wait to see him in Predator. That cast looks great and Shane Black is a GOAT
