I'm just at the beginning of watching once upon a time in Hollywood. hell of a cast.

I finished it. I'm not a Tarantino fan, but I liked this movie a lot. unbelievable cast. it's a good flick to watch.
Interesting coz I'm a Tarantino fan and I was really looking forward to this movie. I thought the acting was great but somehow I got bored with the plot half way through..

Interested to hear what other members thought.
Some interesting depictions of Manson Family members, about 15 minutes of this otherwise long, tedious, boring waste of film.

I've got nothing recent to recommend, not off the top of my head anyway, with regards to cerebral films though,
my favorite SciFi movie is Primer:



It's about 2 guys, accidentally inventing a time travel machine & the consequences.
Really hard to follow, takes multiple viewings for smarter people than me, but in the end it all adds up, which in itself is quite the achievement for a time travel movie.

This might help:

My favorite David Mamet movie is Glengarry Glen Ross with Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin, Alan Arkin, Jack Lemmon, Ed Harris, Kevin Spacey from 1992.
It's a fantastic movie, all talk no explosions, jazz soundtrack by James Newton Howard i believe. Mamet has always been the master of sharp, witty dialogue & it shows.

For good time travel sci-fi. You need to watch DARK Netflix series.

Primer is indeed the best serious time travel film out there (sorry Time Bandits and Evil Dead 3, you don't count). Shane Carruth is a natural born film maker, producing Primer in his garage with only $7000, most of which was spent on film, and with no prior editing, filming, directing, or writing experience. Carruth's second film, Upstream Color, is a classic too. More speculative fiction than science fiction, it sure has some plot. It's about a man who fuses a woman's personality with a pig using a psychedelic parasite that can alter an organism's genetic structure. It can be difficult to follow as well, but unlike Primer, this is a beautiful movie..

Loved The VVitch and loved this one two. Great drinking film, and great psychological/psychedelic thriller, probably unlike any other. Isolation, insanity, misguided love, and getting wasted on kerosene.

I can't get in the mood to try watching this one.

Has anyone seen "The Platform" yet? my God, it is disturbing!

is the platform comparable to those human centipede movies? If so, I'll skip it.
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.
