The Foreigner was a pretty good movie. One of Jackie Chan’s ‘Rumble in the Bronx’ type of acting as opposed to the Rush Hour silliness.

I know a lot of people hated it, but I thought it was very interesting.....a bit "dante's inferno" angle too.

To everyone who said that the new "Blade Runner" was really good.
You were wrong.

Looks like it has potential....I am hopeful
I just watched “What Dreams May Become” with Robin Williams, filmed in ‘98. Then to think of how his life ended.
I never much liked any of his movies. Not because of him, but because of what the studios limited him to do.
He did have a couple of good dramatic roles in "24 hour photo" and Chris Nolan's remake of "insomnia" with Al Pacino.
Best comedy role hands down was in "death to Smoochy". He was really off the leash for that one.

One Hour Photo was super good. Chilling, but awesome. Death to Smoochy is an all time favorite.

Yeah, SF, terminal guidance, riding horsies...obliterating Jihadist fanatics...what's not to like???
I freakin love Jackie Chan. He's only 3 years younger than me and he still does his own stunts.
If they ever made a movie from l'affaire Weinstein, I wish they'd include this line:
"MY NAME... IS HARVE WINE SHTINE..!"

Saw "Only The Brave" tonight. It didn't suck.
There simply aren't many good options in the theaters right now. This movie had some of the expected clichés but still managed a fairly compelling story. Acting was OK. I'm not a Jeff Bridges fan; his delivery is always the same and too wooden - fortunately he doesn't play the primary role. But having lived in Prescott, AZ and spending a fair amount in the area around Pecos, NM, where some of the movie was filmed, I enjoyed some of the mountain shots as well as a couple from Whiskey Row.

"I see it as my duty to stimulate reflection on what is essentially human and eternal in each individual soul, and which all too often a person will pass by, even though his fate lies in his hands. He is too busy chasing after phantoms. In the end everything can be reduced to the one simple element which is all a person can count upon in his existence: the capacity to love. That element can grow within the soul to become the supreme factor which determines the meaning of a person's life. My function is to make whoever sees my films aware of his need to love and to give his love, and aware that beauty is summoning him." -- Sculpting in Time by Andrei Tarkovsky
Hmmm... I feel I missed this intent in Solaris. I didn't feel the love most of the time. When Kelvin said he loved Hari, his dead wife returned, I didn't believe it. When she first appeared on the space station, he blasted her into space to get rid of her. Hardly a loving first reaction, no matter how scared one might be. Then in almost a blink of an eye, he decides he loves her when she returns again. But throughout the film, she's clingy, in constant need of supervision, and I failed to see how this love rekindled or grew with Wife 2.0. So a lot of focus was on the late wife and his mother, but this love business only hit home at the end and relates to the father.
The main thing I got from the film was that if I was stuck on a space station, above an alien ocean of consciousness that could resurrect my husband from my memories, I'd remember him all wrong...Which is depressing. And that's the thing with this film, it left me feeling depressed the more I thought on the themes afterward. So going back to the above quote, maybe I got it. Maybe I went away thinking how depressing the burden of love is?
*throws hands up in disgust*
Nah, I don't get it. It was all above my head. And I'm not even going to try and sound intelligent on the 'Science seeking answers and never finding it' theme.
Anyway, this took me 3 sessions to finish this time. Again, I tried to rally hubby to watch it with me, but he only survived 1 session. It was fascinating to watch a famous Russian-made sci-fi. All the retro props and special effects were a novelty. I still think Andrei Tarkovsky is exhausting but worth the effort, especially if you're interested in story-telling. I didn't love the cinematography the way I loved it in Stalker. I think it's more to do with that I didn't relish being stuck on a messy space station with depressed scientists.
I need a break from Tarkovsky films.
