The Godfather: Part III (1990)

Really good and so nice to watch them all again.

IMDB

From what I remember of Part 3, it was pretty damn bad, mostly because of Sofia Coppola's god-awful performance.

Wynona Ryder was originally meant to play the part, but withdrew to do Edward Scissorhands instead. And the other actress Francis Ford Coppola had lined up for the part, Rebecca Schaeffer, was murdered.

So, in nepotistic desperation, he gave the part to his daughter, who was a terrible actress.

Apparently she's not a bad director, but not having seen anything she's done, I can't comment.

[xer0s]

She is a decent director. Lost in Translation is a guilty pleasure of mine... :paranoid:

[Eraser]

Lost in Translation was pretty good, although I guess there are people who would be willing to argue that's more due to Bill Murray than Sofia Coppola

[xer0s]

Plus Scarlett in her prime... :drool:

Colette

6.5/10 - Biography about the famous French writer. Quite enjoyable but nothing to go mad about.

[Whiskey 7]

Me and the wife watched the Mr.Rogers movie tonight. I honestly feel it’s the most disturbing video I’ve watched in a long time. It’s very odd.

TOVE
Intrigued by the disturbing comment so went looking :paranoid:
Ah Mr.Rogers, also know as A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Don Carlos
I'll give that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood a look in.

[xer0s]

Lost in Translation...

[MKJ]

One of my fave emo movies

[Whiskey 7]

Finally got to see Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)

As expected I guess. A fitting end to the trilogy)?) that started back in 1977 with Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope. I was interested to view the original trailer

The Bridge at Remagen (1969)

It is an oldie for sure but I caught mention of this the other day and had to find & watch this classic IMO. Find and watch it

As the Allied armies close in, the Germans decide to blow up the last Rhine bridge, trapping their own men on the wrong side. But will it happen?

IMDB

Interestingly I found remnants of the bridge on Google Maps.

Kevin James is a funny bastard. Never really liked his sitcoms, but his personal comedy is pretty solid...

[Eraser]

Oh I loved The King of Queens. Arthur, the father (in law) played by Jerry Stilller was especially great.

You should check out his YouTube channel. It's pretty good.

Star Wars Rise of the Skywalker - 4/10

Oh dear

[MKJ]

Seinfeld 23 hrs to kill.
After 20 or so years he has a new standup special.
30% rehashed jokes, 50% wife-bad humour. The last 20% was aight.

Srs why bother if you're just going to phone it in.

Underwater
6/10
It was not Cthulhu!!

[Eraser]

Django Unchained
8/10 I guess. Still a good, interesting movie to watch, but I don't feel it was among Tarantino's strongest works.

[Κracus]

I felt that way about the hateful 8. I really liked Django though but mostly because of Christoph's performance.

[Eraser]

I enjoyed The Hateful 8 more than Django Unchained to be honest. From the start that worked up to the grand finale whereas Django Unchained feels like it's multiple detached parts of a bigger story, where each part almost feels like it was written to fulfill a function (establish a specific fact or event) but that in the meantime, a lot more stuff happened. Most of the character progression happens off-screen, which is probably why I found myself feeling a bit detached from it all from time to time.

Django Unchained
8/10 I guess. Still a good, interesting movie to watch, but I don't feel it was among Tarantino's strongest works.

One I am going to try and watch in the next few weeks...

"Luz"

Strange spanish-german coproduced arthouse-horror-possession-movie.
I think it tries to capture the vibes of 70s european horror-movies, like the giallo genre or generally being gritty because of cheap film-material combined with unusual lighting of the scenes, use of fog, etc.

I couldn't get into it at all.

The soundmix on the german version is terrible. I often wasn't even able to puzzle together a sentence because of so many non-understandable individual words.
I also am not really into the revival of 80s synth-sounds in TV or movies a'la Stranger Things so the soundtrack left me cold.
The plot is actually pretty thin yet hard to follow because a lot of time- and location-jumps and also because the stem of the story only vaguely being explained.

Not a pleasent presentation. 4/10


If you're into possession or chamber-like claustrophobic horror I'd suggest "Last Shift" or "The autopsy of Jane Doe" over this.
