What's The Latest Film You Have Seen?

The Lobster(Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos) impressed me so hard. Social commentry inside brutal fantasy. I'ts bordering on Absurdist, but comes nowhere close to Alejandro Jordorowski's work.

Alps also by Lanthimos is one of the best movies I've seen recently. Its in Greek, not english like The Lobster, and its far less considerate than it also. Its one of the most involved movies I've seen (by that I mean that it isn't a passive experience like so many movies, where they just dump all the information right onto your lap so you can sit back and just not do any interpretation) It doesn't insult the audience like other movies, where they will add in a line only to give the audience some background information; "Oh my dear son, I'm so sad because your father died in the war some years ago! Of course you know that, but I just felt like saying it." that kind of stuff. Also characters are sometimes added not by necessity, but as the spokesperson for what the audience is thinking; they ask questions about details that the audience might want to know.

In Alps there is none of this. I went in knowing only the premise, which I think was a good move => "A group of people start a business where they impersonate the recently deceased in order to help their clients through the grieving process."

See it See it See it.

Have ya seen Dogtooth?

I hereby move that the mods ban Chula the next time he uses "ya" in conjunction with "have".

Can we ban Frowny every time he uses the douchebag response of JA ? I'll fall on the sword for that.

Literally just walked out of Logan

Amazing film. I have not seen that many decapitations in a long time.

YES!!! Haven't seen it yet, but an actual good Wolverine movie will be nice after so many X-Men disappointments. And I'm kinda stoked to see X-23.

bob. · 03-05-2017, 04:53 PM

This one is crazy violent. The Wolverine film we've been waiting for. X-23 is crazy bad ass....every fight scene she is in she goes berserk and just ****s people up

Just got home from Logan, great movie, without a doubt the best of the X-Men movies. Little silly things here and there that I could complain about but overall it was thoroughly enjoyable for its entire 2 hour+ runtime. Will go see it again.
