Film 📽️ THE CINEMA LOUNGE

[Black Narcissus]

The Substance

One of the best films of the year for me. Margaret Qualley has beautiful psychotic eyes. Demi Moore has always been a good actress, but she has mostly been a miss when choosing material, but this was aces. Coralie Fargeat puts to shame a lot of them so called genre directors working today. I’ve said it before and long ago, but she and Julia Ducournau can go toe to toe with ANY director working today and often times it wouldn’t even close.

In honor of Kris Kristofferson… a mention of Criterion’s 219-minute version of Heaven’s Gate — the infamous epic Hollywood western, which is actually best approached as a “European art film.”

Heaven’s Gate

A breathtaking depiction of the promise and perils of America’s western expansion, Heaven’s Gate, directed by Michael Cimino, is among Hollywood’s most ambitious and unorthodox epics. Kris Kristofferson brings his weathered sensuality to the role of a Harvard graduate who relocates to Wyoming as...

Three extraordinary films.

So I am a suckered for a good Presidential Biopic. One that I just never got around to was LBJ, starring Woody Harrelson as LBJ and directed by Rob Reiner. So I watched thay tonight after kids went to bed. I thought this was a good movie, but it is only 90mins. That I thought was odd, but even more baffling to me once it ended. Cause it ends with the Civil Rights Act of 64 passing. Then in the text of what happened later, it outlines how he won the 64 election by a landslide, created a lotnof programs and accomplishments, and ultimately lost support cause of Vietnam and other factors. I was like, this was only 90 mins yall. Instead of stopping at 90 mins, include that other stuff in the text crawl into like another hour of movie, and then this could have been like a definitive character study of the man. As it stands, it's a decent biopic. But not great. This had more potential though

I know a couple of Star Wars fans who will disagree with this.

Lot of Tommy Lee Jones.

Lot of Tommy Lee Jones.

I don't know how anyone could watch multiple Tommy Lee Jones movies and not reach the conclusion that his onscreen persona is just him.

It's so weird that Hulu doesn't support Dolby Vision and Atmos but Disney+ does and considering most of their Hulu originals are also on Disney+ it just makes the Hulu app that much more useless.

Killer Heat

A solid detective movie with JGL as the lead. Man, this only made me miss JGL in more mainstream type flicks. I’m hoping Bald Nolan can give him a lead next time. Not bad when it comes to amazon originals, but that ain’t saying much either. Eh. Solid.

A24 sometimes botches certain releases. Not necessarily on purpose, but a few flicks must be left on the side and make room for more of the so called ‘’awards worthy’’ players.

‘A Different Man’ seems to be one of those casualties. One of my most anticipated flicks of the year as well.
