Can I make penance here by saying I watched and absolutely loved An American Werewolf in London? Excellent movie and maybe the best example of mixing horror and humor and making it work perfectly.

Pretty much my exact thought. Genuinely a super funny movie without sacrificing the seriousness the violence brings. That's a very, very difficult line to toe and they did it incredibly.

wen't to IT2 with some friends last night, we got a little 'loose' beforehand and I don't think I ever laughed harder at a movie before. A lot of the crowd was also laughing and eye rolling the whole movie. When Mike drugs Bill and then explains to him how he stole the ancient Indian artifact while he is apparently tripping...holy hell that was just stupidly funny...and then he says we need to perform the ritual and just doses the artifact with lighter fluid at the end. That whole premise was so silly and funny.
I honestly enjoyed myself, but IT2 was so stupid.

HUSTLERS is an actual really, really good movie. It is “Scorsese with heels” as some have said. I don’t think there’s been a better Goodfellas influenced movie. This director really has a talent. So much good camera work. Opening scene included. Music hits. Montages. Long shots. Entertaining as hell. Energetic as anything. It’s a must see. J Lo will be Oscar nominated, if not win.

Just got back from Hustlers. Great critoque of how predatory life/social/financial dynamics in the US has become post-recession. Also JLo in the opening sequence would've made 14-16 year old me never ever leave the house, gotfuckingdamn.

I’m gonna start posting in this thread. I love movi— films
Most recent I saw in theaters was Tigers are not Afraid. Interesting take on a fairytale while dealing with the horrors of the narco war stuff.
A few weeks ago, we saw that director’s cut or whatever of Apocalypse Now at Alamo on their biggest screen and it fucking ruled

I really liked it, it's if you took a Pan's Labyrinth style approach towards a modern cartel story. Makes sense that Guillermo Del Toro produced it.

For the love of God let Doctor Sleep be a good movie, it's the only film I have wanted to see in theaters in fucking years.That being said I saw the Coen brothers True Grit in theaters and it was awesome.

But I mean JLo may as well be bottomless in her opening scene, which is very daring and risqué. but it’s the worst with the supporting characters. But there’s still lots of toplessness nudity going on - from non famous people.

Mcgruber is the funniest movie I’ve ever seen. What’s your choice?

Haha, thanks dude, but I'm not just out here looking for nude scenes. The internet exists. I just have a particular qualm with actors that want to portray strippers but don't want to do nudity. It applies to Channing Tatum as well

Chained For Life was very funny. One of the more multi-layered satires of the film industry that I've ever seen.

I rarely purchase physical movies but saw the Blu Ray for Shin Godzilla on sale for a little over $10 on Amazon and had to scoop it up. It gets better every time I watch it. Definitely a much better watch than the Godzilla movies that Legendary has put out over the past few years.

Watched a movie on Prime called Black Mountain Side that's was basically the 1982 version of The Thing, but without the cool monsters and soundtrack. Bunch of archeologists stranded in a remote site going stir crazy while being attacked by some unknown otherworldly entity that was buried for ages. McNaughton instead of MacReady, Giles instead of Childs etc, plus the Doc, the guy who goes nuts and has to be isolated from the others. No cgi, but no practical effects either, aside from a 5 second body-horror scene. Still, it was decent.

I saw Black Mountain Side a couple years ago and thought it was pretty much trash.

Had no interest in that until the buzz surrounding the advance screenings and the fact that there's no blackout on reviews.

I tried to my damndest to get into the TIFF screening of Joker and it was just an impossible ticket to get. I am so fucking stoked for it, though.

I loved 3 From Hell. Full on exploitation. No imitation, no dabbling, just balls out on the table dirty midnight movie but with character.
A movie thats well placed in Fathom Events. Rob Zombie has made this an event, and thats exactly what it needed. There's no way in Hell...well no thats wrong. Lets try again. There's no way actually on Earth, in America, in 2019 that this gets released wide. Even though at this point, the same people that were at the sold out screenings across the country would be there, and no one would be strolling in accidentally. There's not going to be unaccustomed eyes on this.
That is all to say thats this thing is not even more any more shocking or violent than The Devils Rejects - maybe even less so in totality. But here's the thing that's respectable: Rob Zombie doesn't make his characters less violent or hold back on their mayhem just because audiences have changed over 15 years. Do I necessarily like seeing the brutality in some of the scenes (thinking specifically of one that involves graphic nudity)? No. And thats the point that RZ has always put in his movies. Violence is violence, and its dirty, nasty stuff that only the truly insane can commit to. For him to make the Fireflies less than just because its 2019 and things that flew in movies in 2005 dont now without internet backlash, would be a compromise and dishonest. And like Otis says, "the knife is the truth."
it belongs with the prisonsploitation of Short Eyes & the more violent iterations of Spaghetti Westerns like Cut Throats Nine or Django Kill.

I watched that newest Luc Besson movie Anna yesterday. Not awful, but when was the last time this dude made a truly good movie?
