Saw you watched Una too... really felt weird about that movie. Felt like a whole pedophile rape apologist movie at the end there. It was very mixed and I have a hard time examining how I actually feel about that movie.

Yeah yeah. The vibe is a bit weird to take in.

It was top acting by both Mara and Mendelsohn. I think though Mendelsohn was genuinely not a "paedophile" if you get what I mean, and the movie tried to push some "age is just a number" / "love doesn't take much into consideration" angle. Overall it was tough for me to get into the mindset of Mara's character. She seemed pointlessly reckless with her behaviour, as not a lot of her actions and words felt like it had a logical reason/cause behind it. And that's why I gave it a 2.5/5. Perhaps just poor writing for her character at the end of the day.

Kinda reminded me of two other indie films in recent years about psychologically challenged love - Touched with Fire (2015) and Better Living Through Chemistry (2014).

I don't know what anyone would think was GOAT in that movie other than Janelle Monáe.

Felt very generic.

What did you love about it?

Kept me hooked on begging for more from start to finish.

Derailed (2005) great movie. Gripping from start to finish. 4.5/5. :bow:

It's a fantastic film. Please watch.

Baby Driver was great without being outstanding, but that's more because I rarely find these action/heist movies "outstanding", just out of personal taste. It was really well done, I would recommend to anyone.

Directing, music choice was superb. Acting was great, action top notch. Really enjoyable film.

Can't wait for Planet of the Apes movie ffs. Will have to wait for it until I get to a place where I can watch tho

Have you seen Jason Bourne films? they are more action but think you'll still like them.

by Onyx Wed Jul 12, 2017 9:15 pm

Yeh thinking about watching the latest one. Does it have a good plot and suspense? Not really into pure action movies.

Falling Down any good? hmm

Doubt you'll like it. It's very slow and not the kind of thriller you're looking for.

Nolan will never get one.

Should have won one for The Dark Knight.

It was the worst of the nominated movies. Never seen that before I think Laughing

Mediocre biopics are loved by old white men.

I actually really liked it but in no way was it better than Inception, Social Network or Black Swan. It was in my top 5 for the year, that was an incredible list of Best Picture nominees that year.

Also I have James Franco winning Best Actor that year.

by CBarca Thu Jul 13, 2017 1:43 am

Just talked about much that best picture win still triggers me just yesterday

The Kings Speech over The Social Network and Black Swan rofl

Crash beating Brokeback Just triggered me again

Baby Driver :bow:

What a *bleep* movie. Edgar Wright is a genius. Those shots and the way he synced the scenes with the music was a work of art. All the characters were so good too.
