I watched this and at first was also doing some work in the computer and was thinking what the fuck . But eventually started paying attention to it. I need to see it again but 8/10 seems right.

had to get over the little girl having unrealistic dialogue... you don't hear kids talking about the natural order of the universe very often. Other than that, I thought it was solid. Great acting with a touch of fantasy. It was as good as a feel-good movie can get imo. I can see how the movie would seem weird, hearing snippets on and off.

[MultiTroll]

Breast Men 7.5/10 worth viewing imo
Yes it is a bit of a B flick. (made for tv movie.)
But actually a pretty good account about "two doctors who created breast implants as it follows them over the years."
David Schwimmer, Cris Cooper, Emily Procter

yeah...it was odd to tune in and out. I saw some good reviews and rented it and then looked at some of the bad reviews and thought I wouldn't like it. So I really didn't put much thought into it while I was doing some work and watching at the same time. But when it was over, I thought it was good and probably even better if I'd concentrated on it the whole time. At the very least (without giving spoilers), the physical and geographic concepts and ability to to convey them on the screen were pretty impressive. If that makes any damn sense. I'll watch it again for sure when it comes on cable.

Can't wait for this one. Loved the book. Irvine Welsh is brilliant.

This may not be the best movie my goddess has made but I'm still gonna co-sign this shit. My goddess and Jackman worked together so often back then I even thought they were in a relationship, but at the end of day it was a canadian jizzhead named Ryan Reynolds coming out the eventual winner.

I haven't watched the presitage yet because my goddess only played a supporting role in it, I think. In fact, I've only watched movies with my goddess in the top 3 of cast list, even the shitty ones like My brother the pig

Prisoners - Even though it seemed like the writer took inspiration from every South Korean Thriller made in the last twenty years, I still liked the movie. It did have way too many twists and contrivances, though.

The Place Beyond the Pines - 8.5/10

I don't know if I get Retro....and I don't know if I should watch that movie right now....but damn I've been wanting to get that Criterion Blu Ray for awhile. I've only seen it once, a few years ago, but it is a great movie. It's one of those flicks where it really hits my sweet spot of paranoia, unsettling visuals and perversions. that flick was so ahead of its time. damn James Woods needs to work more. shit, i'll go see if it's on.

Gravity was awesome... definitely see it IMAX 3D. Visuals are pretty fucking insane. Suspense is non-stop. If I wanted to say anything bad a bout it, It'd be about the characters being slightly unrealistic.

- Xmen : First class : 9.5/10
Didnt go to the theater for that one. Based on the trailer I thought it would be a **** movie; watched it recently and I was pleasantly surprised; actually I LOVED it; nice storyline, Bacon, McAvoy and Fassbender were fantastic.
I also loved the different cameos
The only things that bugged me were about some details regarding the continuity with X1 : who created Cerebro and when Xavier and Eric met for the 1st time.

Now I can't wait for DOFP (saw them shooting some scenes right here in MTL, close to where I live http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/smilies/grin.gif http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/smilies/amazed.gif )

- Wolverine : 7.5/10
Skipped the theater for that one too; It was ok; it didnt get a worse rating from me because I like the character; I'm also a bit disappointed with what they did with Silver Samurai; loved the midcredit scene though - his comics costume and the airport scene, setting up DOFP

- Thor TDW : 8/10
Ok went to the teather for this one http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/images/smilies/grin.gif
Pretty good imo
Loki was awesome as usual, although sometimes a bit too goofy
Good action scenes, good humour
I thought Renee Russo was great
Also that movie was loaded with Easter eggs Just google up "Selvig chalkboard"

Also loved the Captain Americacameo and the mid-credit scene ...... Guardians of The Galaxy, can't wait ..... Benicio looks goofy lol
However, that Ian intern guy got more screen time than Thor's buddies (Sif and Co). WTF is up with that

watched Oblivion last week and it was a good movie overall, which would've been great if the female #1 had been portrayed by a high profile actress (like our goddess) instead of a commie bitch or a british bitch tbh.

"Dark Victory" once and again from '39 was on TCM the other nite. Never grows old as Bette Davis under the production of Warner Bros. nails it to the celluloid for 2 hours.

The Original "3'10 from Yuma" was on the night as well. Heflin & Ford go at it for 90 minutes utilizing a screen play that transcends perfection. I God's.

"A Place in the Sun" with Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor and Shelley Winters. It's painful to watch this film as Clift is so fucked and there is no way out, not in 1950. He has Taylor, has her like you guys had your 5th last June and then she is taken away from him like last June. He doesn't even want to murder her (Winters), there is just nothing else to do.

I watched Don Jon a couple more times after I downloaded the English-voiced version and I have to pretend/try not to see Levitt's face. That bastard is flat out a bastard and it's disgusting as hell to watch him masturbating, pulling pieces of paper from the box to absorb the mucus squirting out of his pipe. It's an absolute insult for our goddess to match a film like this, with such an inglorious dickhead that Levitt is tbh.

I've been watching "Amadeus: Director's Cut" on the cable the last couple days (I DVR'ed it). As a hard rule I abhor "Director Cuts"---but, this treatment is sublime. It is a different film and much richer with the additional materiel. Bless the people who went to the trouble to restore this film.

Phantom of the Paradise -- WTF/10

I have no idea why so many of the major drama directors of the 70s (De Palma in this case, but also Scorsese, Bogdonovich, Altman and Coppola kind of) wanted to do musicals, and even less of an idea how they convinced studios to greenlight them.

Paul Williams is the devil though. So there's that.

Pennies From Heaven is fantastic, too, though its an early 80s bleak 70s musical.

Still need to get around to seeing the BBC version of Pennies. I do like some of those I listed, but I'm surprised they kept going to that well after so many flops. Phantom had to have been a testament to the power of cocaine.

American Hustle - 7.5 out of 10. Aside for Amy Adams' plunging necklines, there wasn't very much in this movie that stays with you. But enjoyable, in a forgettable kind of way.

Out of the Furnace - 8.0 out of 10. The film takes itself too seriously, but almost pulls it off. Sad story, well told. Almost seems like somebody tried to answer the question: "what would a modern day Hemmingway novel look like on film?"

About Time - 8.5 out of 10. They sold this as a romantic comedy, and I suppose it has it's moments as one, but it's really a story about fathers and sons, growing up, and the choices we make. Unexpectedly affecting.

Hobbit: DOS - 7.5 out of 10. This pretty much sums it up./ (http://badassdigest.com/2013/12/13/sam-strange-remembers-the-hobbit-the-desolation-of-smaug/) But I will say the dragon was badass. Weta workshop just dropped the mic at Game of Thrones' feet.

With all this Elisa Lam talk I watched the US version of Dark Water and skimmed the original. 4/10 for the US. Decent acting and Roosevelt Island scenery of personal interest couldn't make up for the contrivances of the source material, i.e., dead kids are assholes.

Dark Corner is on Movies! now. Lucille Ball was really fairly well suited for high-contrast noir, and the shoulder pads -- my God, the shoulder pads!

"Blue Jasmine" - 8.5/10

Its hard to say. Basically all movies she's been in she acts like a lunatic bitch. Actors play those roles to a Tee so there is nothing great about that.

You're not. She's so overrated it's not even funny. Giving her an Oscar for Silver Linings Playbook is a farce, and I don't even value Oscars that much. Any movie with her playing the leading role probably wouldn't even make the official selection of Cannes, Berlinale, or the Venice Biennale, tbh. She's this typical conservative, hillbilly, pop corn actress that wouldn't show her boobs or pussy on film if her life depended on it, she even looks awkward kissing. She strikes me as this girl that was snatched right from the hart of the Appalachian hills and put in front of Hollywood cameras. I can see her value for the (pop corn) industry tho, since she's kind of good looking and can attract the conservative, noncritical public to the cinemas. Maybe she can get better with time, we'll see, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

[Thread]

I saw a fine one on the cable from the late '90's..."The Hi-Lo Country" with Woody Harrelson & Patricia Arquette, circa 1940's. Harrelson is fine and so is Arquette as they're involved in an illicit love affair (she is married). Billy Crudup plays Harrelson's friend and he tells the story, though he has the decency (as actor) to pull back and lets Harrelson take the con. There is an undercurrent here of station & place in this small/isolated Texas community and this leads to the heart of the movie and it's drive train, the violence is vicious whether spoken or displayed. An appearance by Katy Jurado of "High Noon" notation is glorious--though momentary & indicative.

SPOILERS ALERT!!!

I watched a terrific film yesterday on TCM. "13 Rue Madeleine" from '46 with James Cagney & Richard Conte. A harrowing account of espionage during the end of WWII. Cagney plays a U.S. operative and Conte is a double agent out of Germany. Cagney is fine as usual, but, it's Conte's portrayal of the German agent where the film rests & moves. He's at turns friendly and loyal---then cold and extremely lethal. The production code was tight then, but, this film got past a lot of it, and it's these parts that are hard to take and view. Cagney runs Conte to ground in Nazi occupied France and is himself taken prisoner there. His fellow agent is able to get off a communication that he's been taken prisoner before she is shot to death by Gestapo. Cagney misses his chance to exterminate himself with a cyanide capsule and is systematically beaten as Conte tries to get the plans for D'Day out of him. Informed that Cagney lives the U.S. immediately orders a massive air assault of basically a daisy cutter protocol on the address where he's being held and tortured, 13 Rue Madeleine. He takes Conte and his torturers with him, laughing all the way, "Cody Jarrett" style. It's a stunning film.

Her - Two Lovers meets 2001

• Quite an original film. I never knew what would happen next (except with the Amy Adams plot resolution).

• ScarJo kind of sucks as an actress, but she might have a future in voice acting. She was good in this.
• I loved the look of the not-to-distant future in this. The game Joaquin was playing looked interesting. My only gripe would be that there would be so many distracted pedestrians that the number of vehicular accidents would skyrocket.

10 years, maybe 20 years tops, and this will be a reality. Maybe even sooner. I feel that we, as the consumer, are spoiled. Technological leaps that would have been seen as ground breaking 20 years ago are really no big deal now. Realistic graphics in games fail to impress now as much as they once did, too. It's become what's expected.

My Trip to Al Qaeda

Can't really give an objective score as I am a little in awe of Lawrence Wright. Dude wrote the screenplay for the prescient movie The Siege years before 9/11, then was moved to spend five years researching and writing the monumental history of modern fundamentalist Islam in general and Al Qaeda in particular, The Looming Tower. This HBO film owes a lot to Spalding Gray for its form, but builds on the one-man show with location shoots and more standard documentary sections. It serves best as a companion and epilogue to Tower, and really fleshes out his process and motivations as well as giving him a chance to air his personal views on terror and the US reaction to it. It was refreshing to hear Wright relate stories about losing his cool and arguing with people from whom he was trying to get sensitive information, for example, as well as his freaking out when he realized the NSA had tapped his phones.

Good stuff. He could probably do another one man show/documentary about writing his book on the church of Scientology.

I dont have anything against Gordon Levitt for the most part but he was ultra douchier than usual. Looked like a fucking fag guido.

Barely finish the film because I dont like starting movies and quitting midway. No idea how Rogue watched this shit twice.

[Rogue]

I only watched the Goddess scenes but sadly all those scenes also included that perverse dickhead Levitt. Every time I saw that fucker's face I felt an instant impulse to through a few bricks into the computer screen tbh. Son of a bitch Levitt got the world's most punchable face, which I've said many times on spurstalk imho.

But they're actors and it's just their job, maybe Levitt is a fine person in the real life but who knows/cares?

Lone Ranger. 6/10

It was aight. The dude that played the LR was not good, but I don't see why this movie got such bad reviews. I guess critics are tiring of Johnny Depp's shtick.

[Thread]

^Remember the last LR? Clinton Spilsbury I believe was his name. And Media roasted his honkey ass. & that movie was not that bad either.

[Proxy]

I really want to see this. Haven't found a theater close to me playing it though...


They finally released it here. I'm going Thursday.

Here's the most accurate review that I've come across for the movie.

The Coens' sense of sardonic melancholy has never been as sharply observed as it is here, where the laughs are born neither of empathy or derision but rather exasperation with the world's indifference. There's symbols and allusions aplenty, but making sense of the film isn't what it's all about - rather, it's in tuning into its specific elegiac frequency, rendered visually through seemingly omnipresent soft focus and muted colors, and both identifying with and kind of hating the storytellers' gorgeously realized antihero. Isaac's performance is truly spectacular, quite possibly the best lead performance of the year, as tough as it is to make a grating personality like Llewyn's one you want to be around for a while, and it's to his immense credit that in Isaac's hands (and with the Coens' direction) the attraction others have to Davis is easy to see. Don't go into this one expecting it to be too funny - in fact, be ready for some fairly heady existential angst as you walk out of the theater - but know that the world you're transplanted in for its brief running time is as perfectly crafted and its characters as expertly drawn as anything else the Coens have ever done.

3 Women -- 8/10

I am really glad movies like this got made. I can't say I always "get" Altman, but I think watching all that improvisational, dream-based work by David Lynch over the years made me more open to it even though I had no advance knowledge of the film. It's more seamless than Lynch -- you float through it rather than being knocked about -- so much that the eeriness of the movie kind of creeps up on you and builds throughout the film til you look back at the end and say "OK, that was really messed up." Felt a lot more complete than Lynch stuff too, and as crazy as it was, it felt more plausible than, say, Single White Female. Apparently Altman's goal was to make a movie that would just evoke pure emotion from the viewer, but it just made me think about it even more. I'm sure I would have different feelings and thoughts upon repeated viewings. Great performances by the titular women, distracting score. Sounded like a Barnaby Jones episode at the beginning and a war movie at the end.

I spent quite some time looking for this thread last night but still couldn't find it. Gotta thank possum face for bringing it back to Club's front page.

Watched part of Her last night and I was really moved by it, even though in total I only watched 15-20 minutes of random scenes. I wish I also had such an oral-operating system like what Phoenix had in the film. Her voice was still sexy as hell, and its magnificence was only multiplied when you didn't see her face :cry, not to say the personality of "Samantha" who was so considerate, kindhearted and ingenuous.

The movie still has room to improve though. It'd be great if "Samantha" finally came to life, into Phoenix's lonely life and made a change to it tbh. I'll watch that film thoroughly and will watch it over and over again, then I'll probably write a sequel to Her if I manage to find a way to dock it with my "Goddess" series.

American Hustle - What an interesting mess! Christian Bale Robert de Niro's Robert de Niro, who then attacks Bale like a motherfucker in the one scene that he is in. Louis CK was Louis CK, so I couldn't take him seriously. Bradley Cooper was all right, but at the end of the day, his role was just head scratching. Jennifer Lawrence, to take a page from Red Letter Media, was playing dress up. David O' Russell needs to stop putting her in relationships with men who are a generation older than she is.

Overall, the movie was quite entertaining. It was worse than The Wolf of Wall Street, which the movie that people like to compare to it. But both movies were worse than Her, which is my movie of 2013!

[The Gemini Method]

Fruitvale Station - An interesting take on the Oscar Grant shooting on NYE 2009. It was close to lionizing Oscar but told a day and a life of someone who was, in earnest, trying to re-shape his life after stints in prison and a prisoner of gang and an underachieving existence. Michael B. Jordan of The Wire fame is fast becoming a new age Denzel as he played the role sublimely and with a sense of both the optimist and a pending doom of what is to come. It is not to canonize a person because we only know the tragedy of his life, but to devalue his right to improve as a human is a mistake. Ryan Coogler should've been nominated for director of the year--he wouldn't be my choice to win it, but he is most deserved of at least that praise. The movie was worth a view 8/10

I agree with most of this, particularly your ranking of the three films, but I quite liked the performances in American Hustle across the board. Even Jennifer Lawrence's; I don't think she should be beating Lupita Nyong'o for any more awards, but I also don't think she should be blamed for a horrible casting choice.

My biggest problem with the film, which I've seen twice now, is that the tone is completely bonkers. It has no idea what kind of movie it wants to be. And everything involving the romantic interests and betrayals is nearly impossible to engage with because the film wants to try to prevent you from ever really figuring out anyone's motives. It's not a horrible film, by any means, but it's one of the most disappointing I've seen in a while.

[DPG21920]

Her was a phenomenal movie. I walked out with a renewed sense of gratefulness.

[Rogue]

Just checked the IMDB page of "her" and found that movie was nominated for 5 Oscars, 5 muthafucking Oscars and none of them went to our Goddess :cry There ain't no clearer form of snub than this tbh :cry it's just a fucking joke (which's not funny at all) that one of Goddess's best films didn't win her no major award, not even a nomination for any major award

[redzero]

Dallas Buyers Club - Matthew McConaughey has been hitting home run after home run lately. He was near unrecognizable in this. Jared Leto didn't give me the urge to punch him in the face Fight Club style, so that's a win in my book. Bradford Cox from Deerhunter appears out of nowhere, to my pleasant surprise.

Overall, this was a great movie, made greater by the addition of Mark Bolan (who doesn't like T-Rex)? This has to be SA210's wet dream about the BigPharma boogey man.

All Is Lost: 8/10

Super barebones story. Might be higher for people who know a lot about ocean sailing. Great, largely silent performance by Redford. Some very intense moments and nice camera work. Very pleased there is a discount theater nearer to me than Round Rock; the new SW Theaters in the old Lake Creek Alamo Drafthouse building is just fine.

[monosylab1k]

Only God Forgives - holy crap, what a piece of shit movie. Just godawful. Yet somehow, i also think only a cinematic genius could ever dream up something this insane. It's mind-numbingly stupid and pointless, but i also think it has alot of value. The so-called over the top violence is way overblown too, i heard ppl ran out of theaters vomiting and it isn't nearly that bad. Either everyone else is a pussy or never saw Hostel or any of those Saw movies.

I find it tedious and choppy, Avante. It's stilted and Ford rambles in lurches. The production seems behind the curve for Hollywood '39. It's 1939, not 1929. The crooked banker is not handled correctly. Carradine is wasted. Mitchell is overused. The plot strains common sense.

I love John Ford and John Wayne, but, frankly I detest this film.

high expectations for Captain America: The Winter Soldier...

And the Avengers series films also make a good reason why goddess is more likable than Natalie Porkman... Goddess doesn't need to act as someone's bitch to get a role in the avengers films. Black widow is Clint Barton's bitch in the comic book but you've never seen goddess's character kissing that hawkeye asshole or anyone in the past films (IronMan 2 and Avengers), hope there's gonna be a difference in CA2 though.

8MM, Part 2...from '04 I believe. It was on the cable and so I DVR'ed it. A lot of nudity, snatch, ass, breasts, the whole thing. The main girl (name escapes me) is fine. ALL the girls are drop dead gorgeous and so naked. A nice, though abbreviated lesbian scene toward the beginning is done with lots of ass cracks and trimmed beaver pelts.

The plot is not bad though it becomes apparent 2/3 thru what is happening. Slick, quick and clean, it was an enjoyable 90 minutes.

[Thread]

"The Mark" from 1961. It deals with a child molester played by Stuart Whitman. Rod Steiger plays the psychologist who treats Whitman while in prison and then as his parole officer when he is released after 3 years confinement. Takes place not here in the states but in England. Whitman does not actually molest the 8 year old girl, but, takes her with that intent. He readily admits this and after his release he settles into society in his profession as an accountant where he immediately makes his mark with good work there in a prestigious firm that his parole officer arranged for him. He begins to date his bosses secretary, a widow with a 10 year old girl, who is precocious and for lack of a more suitable term, yes, alluring. This is where the film rests and then breaks as Whitman's past is exposed and he's ostracized by his land lady, work place and girlfriend. Whitman is exquisite and gently works the role with restraint and dignity. Steiger is sensational as he treats Whitman not with pathos, but, with clarity and realistic expectations for both himself and Whitman.

It is a great film that showcases the class system of the UK time & again in big & small ways and it is fascinating.

Gravity is one of those rare films that in spite of studios low expectations, (It was in DVD production before playing in the theaters) and poor critic reviews, was well received by the public…Now the bandwagon folks are all over it…When I saw it I was not expecting much but was pleasantly surprised…The “Never give up” theme was inspirational…

Arthur Jensen (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000885/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Beale, and I won't have it! Is that clear? You think you've merely stopped a business deal. That is not the case! The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance!

You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West.

There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars.

Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU... WILL... ATONE! Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?

You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy.

There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM, and ITT, and AT&T, and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.

What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state, Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do. We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale.

The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that... perfect world... in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality.

One vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock. All necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused. And I have chosen you, Mr. Beale, to preach this evangel.

Howard Beale (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002075/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Why me?

watched CA2 last night and I'm confused why people like it so much. I mean it's understandable to love certain actors/actresses (like Goddess) but the movie as a whole sucked major asses. CA acted like a pussy refusing to fight that Bucky near the end of the film, and it broke Franklin's heart to see Goddess being shot and wounded :cry

Shit's probably even worse than the prior episode CA1 tbh. When you were watching the film you'd keep wondering why IM or Hulk or Thor didn't step in to rescue the SHIELD, it is apparent the winter soldier would get immediately KO'ed by any one of IM, Hulk or Thor tbh.

Stalingrad 5/10 - complete and utter waste of my time. That Awkward Moment - 7/10 It was decent romcom buddy flick. Michael B. Jordan carried this flick and though he was a cuck in the movie, it raises definite topics within the relational aspect of dating and friendship. Better than I thought it would be.

Valkyrie:

Too slow and the dialogue took effort to follow. Also i couldn't stop chuckling at Tom Cruise's perm.

5/10

I recall reading that before production commenced on this film Cruise brought the entire company together for a moment of prayer & reflection. Somebody vulgarly busted one loud & clear. Reportedly he tried unsuccessfully to ferret out the farter.

shouldn't have been difficult if he knew the #1 axiom of farting:

were Phil Lord and Chris Miller put on this earth to make the Lego movie?



disclaimer: I wasn't aware of any hype for the movie and watched with no expectations, I grew up with Legos, I liked clone high, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was the best American animated movie ever, go to hell Pixar!

Cloudy with a chance was comic genius. So much missed if only watched one time.

I caught "The Good Earth" from 1937 on TCM the other night. What a fantastic film experience this is. Nigh on 80 years old, but, it is timeless in it's depiction of man's humanity, his failings, his calculation of woman and his inability to find peace there with "her." Paul Muni plays the Chinese peasant who marries, has children, loses everything and then regains it thru the auspices of his long suffering wife.

There is a part that takes place after he and his family return to the "soil" country, now prosperous. She (wife) watches as "Lung" finds only misery and discontent in his vast riches. Now able to "afford" a second wife he is appalled to find what man has always found in this boundless quest for [woman]..."When I'm with her it isn't enough, when I'm not there is nothing."

This film's depiction is of course in China, but, it's very soul rests here, in this country.

"The 25th Hour" was on this afternoon. This film grows richer with time. It's been over a decade since it released (2002). And I find something fine each viewing. Barry Pepper's character here needs to be examined closely. He does a fine job as Ed Norton's best friend, a commodities trader he operates above the law as he watches Norton "Montgomery" go about getting his house in order before reporting to Federal Prison on a 7 year sentence. Spike Lee sets the prison sentence precisely. It's not 1 years, nor 3 years, nor 5, it's 7 and it's not in State Prison where one is granted grace for good behavior at a fine rate. In Federal prison a 7 year stretch will count about 30 days relief more or less. On "Monty's" last night of freedom Pepper is affected more than even Montgomery. He watched his friend not only ruin his own life, but, ruin countless lives with his rampant drug peddling. There is a scene in a disco where Pepper confronts Monty's girlfriend (Rosario Dawson) and his own guilt in not stopping Montgomery when he had the chance.

There is also Lee's commemoration of Ground Zero there in lower Manhattan as he is given access to the area when it was still smoldering. Pepper and Seymour Hoffman stand above it in Pepper's apartment and discuss rent costs, Monty, Bin Laden, poison air and regret as workmen below perform post mortem in the dead of night. There is also a somber scene in the local bar that is owned by Norton's father and has been put up to provide bail for Monty. Monty made many mistakes, one being lodging his boodle with his dope. The local bar was once and still is a hang out for NYFD personnel. Now the establishment is a more mortuary than bar. There is hushed tones and hunched shoulders, framed pictures of lost souls and the ones who still live. It's a fine memorial and Lee should be so proud.

The film stutters in the final act and I pity the people involved who made that choice, but, it's still a fine film.

I thought the last sequence was fairly well done.

Kind of gave you a soothing "what if scenario." But in the end he mans up for his mistakes. It sort of gave you 2 possible endings and left it to you to choose which one you'd rather have.

[Fpoonsie]

The mirror monologue is really the only thing that stands out about that flick, Thread, imo.

Dawn of the Planet blah blah blah

Solid 7/10

I've read some on the IMDB that claims the Interstate signage is "proof" that he's heading West.

For the longest time I was mystified as to why he didn't just cut and run. It took me about 3 viewings to put together what happened. A. The money was with the drugs and B. His father put up the bar. I can't hear too well and so I miss details in movies. Just about six months ago I finally caught on to his father's admonition when Monty mentions him losing the bar if he flees. "To Hell with that damn bar."---Cox is good there. Filled with regret he trembles as Monty leaves the table for the rest room and the oft mentioned speech. That speech is Lee at his worst, so ff thru it.

& Lee (our Lee) is correct,,,Siragusa stands out.

this is a damn good book. I saw the movie when it came out. Then read a book called "City of Thieves" by David Benioff which is outstanding. Then read 25th hour. Been wondering when he was going to write another novel and then saw he's one of the people adapting Game of Thrones for HBO.
