The reviews of Ferrari are a bit all over the place, but I'm getting the sense that it's Mann's best since Collateral.
Which is not saying much since what he's made since Collateral are Miami Vice, Public Enemy, and Black Hat. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, searching for more with John Huston at September 05, 2023 04:52 PM (LvTSG) Posted by: fluffy at September 05, 2023 04:53 PM (86W+h) 8

I actually have some small amount of hope for Exorcist Beginnings.
David Gordon Green did some interesting, if not entirely successful, things with the Halloween trilogy (I still need to see the third, but I get the sense that I wouldn't hate it). Working against him was the fact that he was trying to do some modest things in a series known for dumb formula, massive retconning to explain magical powers, and constant backpedaling, all of which the series' fans seem to really like.

Sloths sometimes get into trouble and wander into places they shouldn’t be. So animal control has to be called in to catch them and relocate them.

This was a trailer that is getting a big push cuz it was the last trailer right before the movie (Equalizer 3)
Looks like a black version of "Life of Brian". Weirdly, they had Jesus' face fogged out in the theater. Suppose that was because Jesus was also played by a Black actor, and i guess they don't want early controversy???? Not sure, but if you're going to have Black Jesus then own Black Jesus. I doubt that's going to be a huge controversy, More controversial is likely to be be possible heretical/blasphemous treatment of Jesus as dope-smoking"Clarence" claims to be the Messiah as a way to scam chumps. Hard to tell, but this being hollywood, Christians are in for a kicking I'm sure. Strange, how "Clarence" isn't centered around making fun of mohhammed and the Koran. Curios, huh?

Believer looks well made. I'll probably see it when it's "free," but not before then. I guess I don't see why The Exorcist needs the sequels it already has, let alone another. I don't really see the need for more possession films in general. That genre is pretty saturated.

Hollywood Walkouts Have Wiped $5 Billion From California’s Economy, Exceeding Analysts’ Estimates
Hollywood’s first double strike in over 60 years has dealt a $5 billion blow to California’s economy. The entertainment industry has been largely on pause since the Writers Guild of America and the actors’ union SAG-AFTRA joined the picket line together. Now, the consequences are reverberating across Los Angeles, as the slowdown creates a knock-on effect for enterprises across the board. https://tinyurl.com/ycyenmve Business Insider.

FWIW,
"Exorcist II: The Heretic" has a heck of a pedigree, with Richard Burton, Louise Fletcher, James Earl Jones (sorta) and directed by John Boorman of "Excalibur" and "Deliverance" fame. It has the primary characteristic of great bad movies: It's trying to do =something=. I'm not sure what, exactly, but it's got a mishmash of magic and science and superstition, and some kind of message in there. A little hard to watch, tho'. The real sequel, "Legion" is a terrific read by Blatty (who didn't care for the Boorman film) and a very watchable movie, which had to be called "Exorcist III" because, yeah, there was that other movie fifteen years earlier.

Posted by: moviegique at September 05, 2023 05:32 PM (lpWi1) ======= Boorman never really engaged with the first film, dismissing it as exploitation of Linda Blair. So, when he spends the first half of Exorcist II asking the answered questions of Exorcist I, it kind of drags things down. No, we didn't need another hour of Richard Burton asking if Regan was actually possessed. The weird African stuff is less of an issue for me than the fact that the first hour and the final half hour of the film are essentially retreads of what the first movie already did, and I don't think Boorman really realized it.

I see Mitch is havering, now. Better than vapor-locking.
He's improving ![]() I've been trying to get back into Roman history, reading a lot and listening to podcasts, etc. The more I read about the Marius/Sulla/Caesar years, the more I'm stricken by the similarities between the dying days of our respective Republics, and their decayed, corrupt, self-dealing and increasingly incompetent ruling classes.

|| The weird African stuff is less of an issue for me than the fact that the first hour and the final half hour of the film are essentially retreads of what the first movie already did, and I don't think Boorman really realized it.
Oh, you know the funny thing is, I've never actually watched Exorcist 2 as though it were a sequel. I just realized that. I've always just considered it a standalone 2 hour mistake. Though if I take your comment and combine it with naturalfake's, its like the movie =couldn't= have been good. I mean, "The Exorcist" is all about getting to the point where you can't avoid the theological implications. To go over it again and NOT get there? How could that ever be good? In my head, I've been mulling the deterioration of Christian iconography in vampire lit. In Stoker's "Dracula", it worked even while Harker considered it "idolatry". Over time, it worked under narrower and narrower terms, until it stopped working altogether. Posted by: moviegique at September 05, 2023 05:44 PM (lpWi1) 270

Last night the delightful and girly Mrs naaturalfake wanted to see a romantic movie, so I put on the remake of
"Sabrina", which I had never seen before. I'd seen the original with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart...oh, decades ago and hadn't been impressed, however - I rather liked the remake. Well-acted, nice direction, excellent script, interesting interplay between characters. It was fine. Check it out. Then I looked at some of the previous review of 1995 when it came out and everyone hated it!. Not sure what that was all about, except that everyone can't be audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. Maybe there was a general critical hate-on for longish, classy love stories cuz "Meet joe Black" (199 ![]() But, when I saw it a couple of months ago, I thought it was an excellent light comedy romantic movie. Definitely check that one out. Posted by: naturalfake at September 05, 2023 05:51 PM (QzZeQ) 302

Honestly, I kind of prefer the original Gojira over the Americanized Ray Burr US version. As I recall, it seems to have an atmosphere of existential dread that the US version lacks. Plus, the soundtrack is rough, but awesome, and that Godzilla scream... Of course, Gojira also has that undercurrent of "woe is us, we didn't deserve to get nuked in the Big War by the big mean Americans" whining, when they deserved a lot more, and frankly they got off light.

Napoleon has some Fierce Trained Chickens, who attack the enemy with their long sharp talons.

Greg Kinnear played the William Holden part in the remake of Sabrina.
I believe he also played the male lead in the remake of Miracle on 34th Street. Kind of a niche. Posted by: moviegique at September 05, 2023 06:04 PM (lpWi1) 360
Someone posted a picture today of a 12 or 13 year old girl after twin mastectomies who wants to 'transition' as male. Serious legal question... kiddy pron? Posted by: Divide by Zero at September 05, 2023 06:04 PM (enJYY) 361

Honestly, I kind of prefer the original Gojira over the Americanized Ray Burr US version. As I recall, it seems to have an atmosphere of existential dread that the US version lacks.
Plus, the soundtrack is rough, but awesome, and that Godzilla scream... Eh...the Hollywood buyers of the original Godzilla movie didn't think American audiences would go along with an all japanese movie, so they chopped it up and threw in Raymond Burr for info dumps. It blows compared to the original movie if for no other reason than it undercuts that great ending with the scientist sacrificing himself and Godzilla slow dissolving death with that great funereal version of the Godzilla theme playing. Young naturalfake was just blown away by it. Posted by: naturalfake at September 05, 2023 06:05 PM (QzZeQ) 363
347 1942 'Cat People'
Val Louton sp? Great gem of psychological horror. Irina fears losing her husband and there is the folktale from Irina's home of Serbia about people turning into cat monsters. Posted by: Anna Puma at September 05, 2023 06:01 PM (MtY6X) ------- Or the newer release with Isabella Rosellini. Posted by: Braenyard at September 05, 2023 06:06 PM (lCWOD) 364
Except Curse was the title foisted upon Val by the studio. It is really about a little girl struggling to find herself. It just so happens her parents are from the first movie. And is Irina her guardian angel or just fantasy?
No killer kittehs anywhere Posted by: Anna Puma at September 05, 2023 06:06 PM (MtY6X) 365
|| No killer kittehs anywhere
"You know how you kept the cat creatures in shadows last time, Val?" "Yeah! Imagination is more effective!" "This time, take them out completely! Let the audience imagine the whole thing!" Posted by: moviegique at September 05, 2023 06:09 PM (lpWi1) 366
I have high hopes that Napolean will be a cautionary tale, of the Revolution eating itself and inevitably leading to a dictator.
I also hope to see 200 pounds on the scale again some day. Posted by: Candidus at September 05, 2023 06:10 PM (oFLDw) 367

>>> 336 One thing that always cracked me up about the Japanese monster movies is that there is almost always one boy named Kenny.

Hollywood screams about how every subset of ethnicity needs to be played by that, and only that, ethnicity.
Unless it's Italians, where those real life roles are up for grabs to anyone, pretty much except Italians. Posted by: Rbastid at September 05, 2023 07:03 PM (YGliX) 376
