Lucas Posted November 22, 2018 Posted November 22, 2018 Female Prisoner Scorpion : 701 The real deal .. One of my all time favorite movie characters .. It's an exploitative, vengeful work of art, and the follow-up is even better
Lucas Posted November 23, 2018 Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Happy Thanksgiving Two room clearers The Isle is one the best movies I have seen in ages .. I didin;t always agree with Roger RIP Ebert, but he nailed it on The Isle Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds. .. and The Exorcist William Friedkin ... The French Connection, Boys On The Band The Exorcist, Sorcerer, and Cruising in less than a decade Edited November 23, 2018 by Lucas

Lucas Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 To Live And Die In L.A. is my favorite 80s crime drama. That's one I need to see ... William Friedkin had a run of some really good movies
Lucas Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 In The Mood For Love ... absolutely gorgeous movie .. I might even say "perfect" Maggie Cheung, my goodness ..... one of the best performances I have ever seen - and without all the usual hysteria that I tend to gravitate towards
Fordgalaxy Posted November 24, 2018 Posted November 24, 2018 Some of the stuff in this movie I knew from the Ken Burns "Vietnam" documentary last year, but it's still infuriating to know that our government expanded that conflict and knew almost from the beginning that it was a losing situation, yet continued to lie to the American public about what was going on. It wouldn't be surprising in the least to find out in 40 or 50 years that the same shit is happening in Afghanistan and other Mid-East shit holes.
Alien Girl Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 Raise The Red Lantern TF, what did you think ?? I love it .. it's in that top tier of films for me ... The first time I saw it, the ending threw me - it wasn;t what I was expecting, and it didn;t seem to fit .. But after a second viewing, it did seem fitting And it's an absolutely gorgeous film. Just visually stunning!
Hunted Witch Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Red-Headed Woman, 1932. Wonderful pre-Hayes Code comedy.

You don't need 40-50 years to know that the Afghanistan/Iraq invasions are complete b.s..

MalformedEarthborn Posted November 28, 2018 Posted November 28, 2018 "Circle" on Netflix. Kind of a modern day The Cube. Pretty intense for a movie with one set.

goose Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Dog Day Afternoon: a Pacino classic My favorite 70s movie. I had forgotten about the opening, which is just scenes of NYC. It's very well done and instantly sets tge viewer up for the tone of what's coming. 1970s NYC was so gritty... 2

Kevin Costner seems just walk through films. No acting range at all. I agree! He's pretty much the same in every film. If he's supposed to be a regular guy, like in Field of Dreams or Bull Durham it works ok, but he brings that same character all the time. 1

George Clooney is the same way. Little to no ability to express any emotional range. 2
