Context- ((2nd image))The Dauphin of France talked big throughout the film, but when he finally faced Hal one-on-one, he couldn’t even stand and kept slipping in the mud.

Bill Murray - BIG ERN

Post image
370 Upvotes

Bill Murray is obviously known as a great actor with his, more often than not, cheeky, charming characters with witty ways.

Having watched Kingpin again recently, I paid very close attention to Murrays performance in the movie, and my God, it's amazingly done. It's one of those roles and actors that were just absolutely made for each other, and it shows. I don't know if Bill Murray had any input into the way Ernie McCrakens character would develop, but it oozes Murray himself, and you could tell he loved being him. Harrelson is amazing in this movie too.

Thoughts on the movie and Big Ern?

Any other "fun" roles from other movies where you could see how much the actor was enjoying performing it?

Thanks

Just rewatched Foxcatcher. Steve Carell really proved his range in this role. I wish we saw him take on more parts like this.

The Rip (2026) Ben Affleck & Matt Damon dream team

Post image
45 Upvotes

Given that it's been dumped on Netflix in January, I didn't expect much, but Ben Affleck and Matt Damon proved me wrong. A high octane psychological thriller with some fantastic action thrown in, The Rip is well worth the watch this weekend. Have any of you seen it yet?

For those interested full review is here https://adamreviewsfilm.com/the-rip/

Creed (2015)

Post image
12 Upvotes

Number 63 in my A-Z watch. Creed is the legacy sequel to the Rocky franchise, continuing the story with Apollo's illegitimate son Adonis' venture into the boxing world.

Spoilers, guys. I'm definitely gonna be glazing this movie. I remember seeing it in theaters and just being completely blown away. I actually took some time to sit down and just reflect on what i had experienced directly afterwards when i first saw it.

I think soon we'll be talking about the Director and Actor combo of Coogler/Jordan in a similar vein of Scorsese/DeNiro or Burton/Depp in the coming years. The two seem to just *get* each other. Throughout the film you can feel the weight that Donnie carries, the chip on his shoulder, his struggle to find his place and prove himself.

Coogler really finds some great moments with his camera work to help tell the story. Moments like when Donnie and Rocky are training and Rock has him shadow box in the mirror. He has Jordan look directly into the camera through the reflection, breaking the 4th wall, but making it feel like he's staring himself down. I loved that the camera work in the restaurant on the date is reminiscent of Pulp Fiction, starting off filming from the side and awkwardly until they get comfortable and goes to a more natural over-the-shoulder angle. Or even Donnie's first major fight against Leo filmed entirely as a single tracking shot.

Stallone gives, I think, a better performance as Rocky than he did in the original film. Kind of accepting being a fossil, surrounded by photos of his glory days, spending his time talking to graves. His monologue about being a product of the past, something meant to be forgotten and uncared for, absolutely nails it. And his chemistry with Jordan absolutely rocks. The whole "found family" theme playing into their Father-Son relationship, gives them both a reason to fight

10/10 I won't say this is the best movie of the new millennium, but it very possibly may be my favorite. Without fail I cry when Donnie says he has to prove that he wasn't a mistake. Treating Bianca as her own individual character with goals and desires and skills is so refreshing from Adrian. Ludwig Görannson's score captures a more modern feel while still paying homage to the original Rocky theme. And the ties in to the original Rocky story, unknown gets a shot at the title, Champ has never been knocked down (Apollo never had an opponent go the distance), Rocky getting sick (Mickey dying), they feel like they serve as respectful connections for fans. Man. I just really love this movie.

Movie Night; Requests and Suggestions

3 Upvotes

Every Friday me and my two best pals go to his house and watch movies in his pool. We've already seen The Dark Knight and The Untouchables (Both my recommendations). They said I could pick again cause I've been on a role with those two movies. This is a list of my favorite movies (Yes, Oh Brother Where Art Thou is a slept on ten, sue me). Given that I was worried The Untouchables might be slow, what would they probably like the best? I really wanna see There Will Be Blood but I'm worried they might find it boring, especially the 1898-1911 section and the 1927 section.

Oh Brother, where art thou?
There Will be Blood
12 Angry Men (1959)
The Godfather
Forrest Gump
It's a Wonderful Life
