It’s a pretty terrible movie. I remember it being visually amazing but as a movie overall it’s not good.
The White Tiger
7/10
Could have used an editor to tighten it up a bit more as it goes a bit long at 2 hours. The lead is great as a hustler working his way up from deep poverty. Priyanka Chopra Jones is stunning as usual and did a good job acting in the part she was in.
I watched The Man Who Would Be King like three weeks ago…so good :(
He was also fantastic as Mike Wallace in The Insider

I watched it three times in theatres, which is the most I ever have for any movie. Absolutely don’t regret any of those times.
Watched it without 3d…and yeah…but I still stand buy it absolutely should have gotten the special technical oscar. I will not say terrible, but very derivative.
I was searching for Thrillers I haven’t seen yet and from what I found i thought it would be funny to watch a train double feature yesterday:
The Commute
and
Girl on the Train
Both were decent-ish thrillers. I remember the GotT being really popular book years back, I think.
The Commute featured Liam Neeson playing the role he always plays. Girl on the Train is drunk Emily Blunt. Both were popcorn flicks. Nothing amazing really. Prob 6-7/10 for each.
Girl on the Train featured very little amount of trains, mostly just at the beginning and end of the film. The Commute took place basically 100% on a train, so in terms of train flicks it was a 100/100 score. A true Snowpiercer-level masterpiece of train cinema.
Kiki’s Delivery Service
Major pacing issues with this movie. First hour kinda drags on and yet the ending is extremely abrupt.
I watched this once as a kid and remember it being being more impactful. I thought they could have done a better job expanding on her struggles.
Rewatching The Sting which I have not seen in many years and man are these guys putting on a clinic in string betting
eta LOL Robert Shaw just got chips from the dealer to add to his raise wth is going on here

Watched it yesterday - but also get to watch it every couple of years. The poker scene is a bit rubbish but the film overall is still surprisely fresh and one of my favourites - really well put together and Scott Joplin thrown in as well.

Night Hunter
A weathered Lieutenant, his police force, and a local vigilante are all caught up in a dangerous scheme involving a recently arrested, troubled man who’s linked to years of female abductions and murders
I think the idea had potential but it wasn’t executed very well, plus the main bad was so damn annoying Jesus christ.
Yeah exactly. String bets aside, the Sting hand actually kind of makes sense.
The best part of that scene is when Newman says “hey when you play a game like this you bring your cash!” and flashes the money, its actually Shaw’s wallet that he lifted from him earlier in the movie lol.

Well now we have to do personal records of times seeing a movie in theaters.
Mine is 8
For Titanic
Cause I was 14 and the girl I liked was into it.
And like the last 4 times were spent making out…
So I’m good with it
I’ve only ever seen the same movie in a theater once in my life.
Which was it?
My buddy managed the cheap theater(the one that shows movies months after their release for $2, or $1 on Tuesdays). He’d let 10-20 of us in after-hours and we’d bring in cases of beer & weed, and eat all the popcorn, pizza, and hotdogs. I saw the first Austin Powers, Boogie Nights, Good Will Hunting, and Starship Troopers all at least a half dozen times because those were the most re-watchable ones we had access to.

What’s the movie you’ve seen most in theaters?
Mine is Jurassic Park. Saw that infinite times on the regular run and then another infinite times when it moved to the $1 cinema. It performed so well there that it continued to play after it was out on VHS.
