Rumors going around that Anchorman 2 starts off good then gets shitty.

Has anyone here seen it? We should be giving it a whirl this weekend.

Catch-22 (1970) - Bit of a confusing watch because of the non-linear action. Typical semi-shitty 70's acting throughout. Alan Arkin is hit and miss. Martin Sheen is young.

Some of these old classics do not age very well.

5.8 Matty Rains out of a possible 10.

 

[Mudcat]

Catch-22 is a rare movie where the author of the book (Joseph Heller) is very satisfied with it.

Wolf Of Wall Street. DiCaprio acting like Pacino. Jonah Hill surprisingly entertaining. All females in the movie are nude. Every swear word used (some in different languages).

It was just missing that "wow" factor. Good film...just not great.

3.5 stars out of 5

Interesting. I think it would work better as a play than a movie - the over-the-top acting turned me off.

The Wolf Of Wall Street

If you don't like 3 hour movies because they're 3 hours long you will not like this film. I don't mind 3 hour movies as long as they're good and this one is good. It's not great film that will be talked about 30 years from now but it was worth the 3 hours alone for the 10 minutes that is (what we'll call) the Qualude Cerebral Palsy scene.

It's the funniest thing I've seen on film in over 10 years. My face hurt from laughing.

Leo is incredible (Oscar worthy). The score left a little to be desired. This film is way better than Anerican Hustle

Wow I was going to see American Hustle

What if I'm going with the GF and she doesn't like 3 hours of nudity?

Hustle or still Wolf?

 

[Blitty]

I saw Hustle and Wolf back to back today.

I thought they were both spectacular. Not really sure why you would compare them, but I did enjoy wolf more.

I usually don't like 3 hour movies but didn't mind it at all for wolf.

 

[Tron]

I compared them because they came out during the 2013 holidays and are both retro pieces.

Cougar, your g/f will like Hustle better, unfortunately. Females gonna female.



* there is less nudity in Wolf than I expected but there is a very early scene which women will find offensive (?)

 

[Cougar Bait]

Kinda what I figured. Damn.

Caught War of the Roses. Classic 80's Michael Douglas flick.

Found it quite entertaining. 7.5 drops of grease.

 

[MrX]

Kinda what I figured. Damn.

Yeah, ya gotta be pretty sure before you take someone to a 3 hour movie.

I watched Frances Ha a couple nights ago. Its existence had slipped my attention until now.

I'm glad I found it. Excellent performances. Great feel for dialogue. Just generally a beautiful and funny portrayal of young people struggling, to varying degrees, in New York.

8/10 xes.

Awww. I recently introduced a bunch of people to american astronaut, projected on a big screen in a friend's yard with a big fire going. I thought of you. It was a good time.

I hope you like Frances Ha. It's great.

I still haven't watched Stingray Sam.

that sounds good. I like movies about city life.

Qued as well. Mr. X's recommendation could be the best thing that ever happened to this movie.
