Post the last movie you've seen and how you rate it
-
If you have read the book and liked it, I'm sure you will also like the film. Although there are some slight changes from the book, like in the book, it's the first person account (Elio's) narrative, in the movie it's not.
Both lead actors are great and they deserved the Golden Globe Nomination and I hope they will be nominated in Oscars. I think they are planning for a sequel since in the book, it was present day scenario with Elio only recalling of that 1983 love affair because he heard someone said "Later".
9/10

I'm planning on seeing this next week.
I'm looking forward to A Wrinkle in Time.

I just saw Coco by Pixar/Disney and thought it was delightful.
The visuals are vibrant and complex without seeming garish or busy. There are plenty of jokes in the images. (Especially the references to Frida Kahlo.)
The themes were robust: being true to oneself while remaining connected to family. The importance of remembering and being remembered.
I also enjoyed the voice acting by all the characters.

For the 100th time, I watched Girls Will Be Girls (2003), which is akin to watching very good drag queen actresses chew the scenery of a plot much like a blend of Sunset Boulevard, All About Eve, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, Mommie Dearest and Valley of the Dolls.

Cold sober, it's an 8. Add drinks/weed, and you're approaching 9. On the gay man scale, of course.

Sadly, I'm a homosexual male with no appreciation for Camp… much less Disco.
The closest I come is liking Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown which is more of a Screwball Comedy.
-
Disco, apropos of…? :blink:
-
Follow-up for John – did you like Saturday Night Fever (1977)? In one sense, it was all about disco, but in a deeper sense, it was more about generational family conflict, growing up in a blue-collar world with greater aspirations, and gang pressures. Oh, and romance with your disco dance partner, tee hee.
I just watched bits of it for the 1,00th time, and feel, in retrospect, it has aged well as a movie, and was worthy of more than just one Academy nomination for Travolta.
-
With very few exceptions, I dislike Disco music and find it disruptive in movies. Granted, it is rare to hear disco outside of gay porn in movies.
I must have seen Saturday Night Live since I've seen the sequel. The sequel is Xanadu level bad.
I know gay men who point blank refuse to listen to classical music. I know others who can't stand punk/metal/alternative styles of music. Music taste is subjective.
Back to movies: my favorite musical remains Rocky Horror Picture Show and the last movie I saw I loved. (Coco)

Star Wars: The Last Jedi
I rate it a B+
I'm not a Star Wars afficionado, but i really enjoyed the movie. It's veeeery slow in the beginning… with not actually happening for the entire first hour of the movie, but after that, it's pretty enjoyable.

John, it’s glad to hear you like CoCo too.
me too, I rewatched CoCo with my brother. We can feel the family meaning in that movie. by me I’m fearful be forgotten, altho I hate my father, but I choose forgive him when he was dead, I will still remember him and his name will be continued by me and my children.
in northern asian culture family is strong and important, that’s nightmare to gay people.
back to the movie , I don’t know if we was getting older, both of us tears at the “everyone knows Juanita” it’s rare to tear for years

Its been too long since my last post in here ;D
1. Thor: Ragnarok (2017)
Entertaining. I like the idea of comedy in this movie but not as much as bold clever comedies in Deadpool. But, the movie is good an waiting for the next one if there is one.
8/102. God's Own Country (2017)
Now I know why this movie called as UK's Brokeback Mountain. In many ways, the plot similar to each other. The different probably is the origin of the two lead characters, they live in their own lives, their own country, their own bitterness, their own denying, their own story. But, unlike Brokeback Mountain, they found their own live together at the end. I think you know what I mean
8/103. Jigsaw (2017)
I a fans of earlier Saw movies when the story is still fresh and the butchery is thrilling. I guess they try to revive the original taste of this movie to keep the franchise on but they need to try harder.
5/104. The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017)
I'm curious about this movie because, being said that Nicole Kidman could have her Oscar nomination for this role. But, in my opinion, in her character there is no significant development and almost boring (maybe because I expected to be more). But I like the story and Colin Farrell's plot and bounding with the boy. Its almost felt like a gay thing (father an son fantasy) at first. Bu its over when the horror begin. When the ancient curse clash with the modern believing. You need to watch his movie to finish my line here.
7/105. Bright (2017)
This movie feel like bringing The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbits to modern world, when Orcs and Elves live among us human. I'd say its entertaining but need more improvement to the story because its just too simple for such a huge world.
6/106. Happy Death Day (2017)
I'm gonna give this movie 7 (+1 from 6) because I almost laughed my self to beat because there is one plot about gay things in this movie. LOL
7/107. Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)
I saw this movie last night and I'm glad its a good one. Entertaining even though the plot a little bit boring and predictable in the beginning, but its get better to the rest. I like the quote from this movie, "you can't save anyone."
7/108. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017)
This one is hilarious, thanks to Jack Black. Its really refreshing one from the last Jumanji and a different plot. I like this one.
7/10 -
A musical film “The greatest Showman” 7/10
not very good and not bad. the same time last year I watched “lala land” which is much better than this one. -
2. God's Own Country (2017)

8/10:true: I am so loving this 8/10

7/10
Enjoyed it the first part plenty, what followed tears me into loving or hating the film.
! If you are even slightly familiar with the bible, you’d know it’s an allegory. A large part of the experience is waiting to see how Arronofsky would weave the tale with his film-skills (I dunno, directing?).

As a follow-up to your comments on Mother!, DCLXVI, I went to see it with virtually no prior research, including no media reviews.
Even though my school days included much reinforcement of the "Spoiler" angle, it went completely over my head during the viewing. I walked out perplexed, and would have assigned it a "5."
I have plans to view it again, and already know that my "number" will be higher the second time around.
-
I saw "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" and "Mazerunner: Death Cure" yesterday.
My problem with a rating system is that I didn't enjoy the 'better' movie. So, reviews.
3 Billboards: Very well acted - especially by Frances McDormand. The dialogue writing was wonderful. But after a surprising plot twist they stopped having realistic ramifications for the characters' actions. Minor characters felt like plot devices rather than people. It's won a lot of Golden Globe Awards and will most likely win an Academy Award.
Death Cure: Well acted, particularly by the lead Dylan O'Brien. The viewer needs to have seen the first two movies - and even with that the story is a bit of an mess. The emotions ring true and I enjoyed the action scenes a lot.
The core emotional relationship in the film is between the male lead and his best friend - but like so many movies "homosexuality" doesn't seem to exist in the world. I'm looking up Newt/Tommy slash.
-
Saw Coco (2017) and I Loved it! Its a full 8+++++/10. Everything on it is awesome, the story and acting and the colorful and of course the music. I'm also in live with Dante cute dog haha. I vote this movie to win Best Animated Feature Oscar.
-
I think Coco is my favourite movie of 2017. I also liked the cute dog (and cool cat.)
-
To Live (1952), or Ikiru (original title) by Akira Kurosawa.
An absolute masterpiece, one of the best I've eve seen. (9.5/10)
-
Since I find Timothée Chalamet a cutie, re-watched two of his earlier films
One and Two (2015) and The Adderall Diaries (2015). Both (personal opinion) are average films but amazing acting, both 5.5/10 story but 7/10 in acting
