Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

I watched "The Jungle Book" on Netflix. The live-action version, not the Disney one. I was pretty impressed. Very deep, very dark, great CGI. Something I could watch with my kids and still appreciate.

Bibby and I tried to watch it in 3D when it was playing on base. It was a bit too scary for a then 6 year old but it looked great from the bit I saw.
 
'Coco' is on Netflix and it's a pretty cute film. The whole giant 'day of the dead' celebration is more of a southern (Mexico) thing though.
 
Took the wife to Ocean's 8 last night. It seems the reviewers have a hard on for this one because it's all girls, but the plan was no where near as fun as the Ocean's 11,12,13 flicks.

That said, no real surprises and if you need to take your honey to a chick-flick, she'll like this.
 
Rewatched "Boondock Saints" for the eleventh billionth time. If you youngsters have never seen the movie, watch it.

Agreed. Saw it as well. No need to rush out but it was good enough.
 
I live under a rock and just got around to watching 7 Samurai, was the polar opposite of suck.
If you haven't, check out the 1960's 'Magnificent Seven' with Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen. Akira Kurosawa's 'Yojimbo' and it's Western remake 'Last Man Standing' are pretty good as well.

It's actually pretty neat to see how many cross cultural archetypes there are in Kurosawa films.

'Ran' is considered to a parallel to Shakespeare's King Lear.
Seven Samurai is the best four hours spent in front of a movie screen
'Red Beard' is akin to Macbeth
The multi-viewpoint technique from 'Rashomon' is mind-bending.

If you like Toshiro Mifune, check out the "Samurai trilogy" about Miyamoto Musashi.

Nice. I'll have to check out Kurosawa's other works when the mood strikes, didn't realize that he made films in the late 80's and early 90's. Honestly thought Kurosawa was gone by the 70's, didn't realize he kept chugging along.
