Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Yeah, 12 Strong was a good movie. I cant speak for the accuracy, but the actors did a good job of carrying themselves like soldiers.

I read the book twice last year - I highly recommend it. The movie was definitely Hollywood-ified but I really enjoyed it, and as with every other movie based on a book, you're not going to be able to cram in the level of detail to do the story true justice. My only real complaints are that they downplay the level of importance of the CIA operatives and there's no mention of the Air Force CCT on ODA 595, MSgt Decker. That said, I'll probably go see it again sometime in the next couple of weeks.
 
I mentioned it a few years ago, but you ought to check out "the dancer upstairs", directed by John Malkovich. Bardem plays a Peruvian inspector in it. Good film.


Sir Lawrence Olivier used to vary his characters appearance by altering their noses, so as to give the appearance of immersion in the character, an actors thingamy. Javier B does it by altering hairstyles: both are /were amazing actors but this has to be kept in mind. Anyone remember Javier in 'No Country for Old Men' & 'Ricky, Christina, Barcelona?' Same Same But Different. I really dig Javier though, the guy delivers.

I though Bardem was the best part of that James Bond movie. He makes a truly great bad guy.
 
With the flying, which was truly impressive and how the individual plot lines come together which involve a high degree of logistics and effects, Chris Nolan is my pick for Oscar best director, editing also perhaps.

Dunkirk is legit. Even my wife thought it was awesome and her preferred genre is horror. Nolan has to go down as one of the best directors ever. What he did with music and setting instead of dialogue was remarkable.
 
I recently re-watched The Big Short for about the 4th or 5th time. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and watch it. I rented it for 50 cents through Amazon as a Prime member. It was on Netflix, but they took it down. Anyways, great, great movie and one of the best roles I have seen Steve Carell in. The entire cast is insanely good.
