Official thread about the movie you just saw

Saw Papa Hemingway in Cuba on the plane. Good but not great. Probably a C+ as a standalone film.

However, they actually film in Cuba and had access to Hemingway's actual home there, Finca La Vigia, which the govt has restored, and while I think it is a museum, few Americans have been there. So if you are a EM buff that is pretty cool. Also Minka Kelly gets nakey, which was vry unexpected and pretty schweet.

I almost watched that last night. C+ doesn't get me wet, though naked Minka does.
 
Yeah 52 yo Joele Richardson as Mary Hemingway also has a few nude scenes if Brit GILFs are your thing.

Caught most of the two new Planet of the Apes movies on cable last night. The first one is a solid origin story (I don't hate Franco as much as most people seem to), while the second one is just a really well-made film. Looking forward to #3 next year.
 
James Franco is either overrated or underutilized. i don't think anyone can figure it out.
 
caught Arrival tonight.. i was a fan of the source material and enjoyed the movie quite a bit.

i thought they handled the "twist" well, though i knew it was coming so i'm not sure if it was well hidden or not. i understood the need to add the military angle as the short story doesn't really have a climax per se, the aliens just kind of leave one day, but the climax of the film doesn't really make much sense imo and the way she can see into the future doesn't really work the same way in story...but i wasn't really bothered by it too much. great visuals and atmosphere. think the ending was a much better version of emotional resonance in a sci-fi movie that interstellar was going for.
 
Watched Mike & Dave need wedding dates - sorely average, a couple haha moments, but overall meh.

Anyone see any good comedies recently?

Saw it over the weekend as well and wasn't all that impressed. I loved the concept of a linguist being the protagonist in a "why are they here" alien story, but was disappointed by the story and its climax. It smacked way too much of Contact to me (which I think is a fairly decent movie that is ruined by the ending).

That said, Adams, Renner, and Whitaker were all excellent.

i need to read some forums on the interwebs to see if I have it all straight

I thought Arrival was excellent.

No nudity, very little cursing, very little violence. As for entertaining a 12yo, it's a slow, cerebral movie with a lot of sadness.
