i saw event horizon on a date at Wake, going in thinking it was like a star trek adventure movie, left like "wtf just happened to my brain"
I'm still processing Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I enjoyed it as I was watching it, but something felt unfulfilled at the end. While trying to evaluate what created that "unfulfilled" feeling I think it was because I had heard there was a twist. That caused me to be so focused on figuring out if Brad Pitt was a figment of Leo's imagination and/or if Leo was already dead that the actual twist (and there is one) seemed a let down. Sorry if that goes into the realm of being spoilery, but having that knowledge would have allowed me to just soak in the movie to take it for what it is. Even while I try to reconcile my "like" of the movie, my respect for it is high. It's certainly well crafted - the acting, the setting, setups and payoffs, all that artistic stuff.
Bottom line, if you're a Tarantino fanboy (I am) then see it. If you're not, this won't be the one to win you over to him.
Once Upon a Time... tomorrow night for me. Stoked.
No, this isn't MUST see in a theater, and Hateful 8, which I consider a lesser movies, absolutely was. That said, the recreation of 1969 Hollywood + adjacent areas is amazing and no doubt better enjoyed on a big screen. You're an LA guy right? I'd say for you to go ahead and experience it at its best. That's not blanket advice for everyone, it's tailor made for you Strick.
Just watched Chef. What a good movie.
oof, I thought it was super cloying and boring
watched Widows yesterday -- I liked it and enjoyed identifying the local filming locales, but it's a bit overstuffed and heavy handed
