Metal Sludge Gossip Board

Started going through a whole bunch of screeners

Hidden Figures 8/10 - Really liked it
Silence 3/10 - boring boring boring. Looked pretty, but it was boring
Jackie 6/10
Moonlight 6/10 - Overhyped
Manchester By The Sea 6/10 - Way overrated.
Edge Of Seventeen 7/10
Hacksaw Ridge 8/10 Hate Mel Gibson, but fucker can direct.
The Comedian 3/10 Wanted to like it, but just didn't

Also caught
Keanu 6/10

Arrival 2016 - 7/10 - Not a great movie but I liked it better than Fences and Manchester by the sea. Cool scenario and a good lead character but.......spoiler: it has become the biggest cliche in sci-fi, the lead character goes into another dimension/room and has to face his/her inner demos. So fucking worn out. They did it in Interstellar, they did it in Solaris, a bunch of Star Trek movies have that scene....I'm so sick of it....

Into The Forest (205) Ellen page, Evan Rachel Wood, Both girls got naked so theres that but the rest was pretty meh, Page is getting a bit old to play someone studying for her SAT 6/10

Kill Your Friends (2015) Nicholas Hoult, James Corden. , Havent seen many movies on this topic before, Sludgers into the music industry scene might like it.Cool movie about a british A&R man, set up in 1997. if you liked the Vinyl HBO series you will like this one as well 7.5/10

Ghostbusters(2016) Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Chris Hemsworth. Saw the original a few times as a kid, it was funny but far from a classic for me so this remake didnt feel sacrilegious. Most stars from the original are in this one as well except maybe for Rick Moranis and Debbie Gibson .6.5/10

Um, also missing from a cameo spot? Harold Ramis, just sayin'

Moonlight 2016 - 5/10 - If this was based on a true story then maybe I could have been more emotionally invested in it but a 2 hour movie about a guy who - spoiler - gets a handjob and gets bullied and can't have sex for the rest of his life? And it's not even based on a true story? Get out of here

L.A. Story (1991) Steve Martin, Sarah Jessica parker, Kevin Pollak, Iman, Patrick Stewart, Marilu Henner, Richard E grant Woody Harrelson, Rick Moranis, Chevy Chase SJP was such a hot piece back in those day
7/10

There's a bust of him at the beginning of the movie.

I had seen parts of this, but never seen the whole thing start to finish. Well it came on yesterday and I was able to catch it all. It's an outstanding snapshot of California circa mid 70s. The quality of the filming is really something special.

The plot is OK, mid life evaluation kinda stuff. Sam Elliot is good as always. The real star is the cinematography.

Loved this movie. I had a copy on VHS forever that I got back when VHS tapes weren't a dime a dozen at a garage sale back in the early 80's.

Beware the Slenderman (2016). I went in with way too high of an expectation apparently. I was expecting a Paradise Lost or maybe even a Cropsey. It was all over the place, not even on the same level of a Killing Field episode in the form of keeping the story moving nicely. And the Skype-ish interviews didn't help. 2/10

Kevin Hart-What's Next?

Without a doubt, the worst stand-up I've ever seen and quite possibly the worst film I've ever seen. My friends and I cut it off after 45 minutes of it. If anybody on these boards say they like it, never, EVER trust their tastes in movies again. It really sucked.

Predestination - 6/10

not really a movie, but a Playstation 3 game from 2013 called "The Last of Us". Holy fuck was it good. 10/10! If you like survival thrillers, like Walking Dead, The Road, Children of Men, etc, you'll fucking love it.

You don't have to play it, you can just watch THIS guy play it. prepare to get addicted.

"The Founder" starring Michael Keaton - the story of Ray A. Kroc and McDonalds. 8/10 - dude is such a great actor, the story is even better!

Wedding Bells(2016) Crappy Tv movie with Danica McKellar 4/10

Darwin (2016) Molly Parker Juliette Gosselin 6.5/10

Jack Reacher - "Never Go Back" 7/10.

Can't stand Tom Cruise, but in this role the douchebag doesn't shine through.

I caught this movie last week. Michael Keaton was really good. I didn't know this was what happened to McD's at all. A crazy story,,,and it's all true! I m surprised McD's didn't try to stop them from making this movie. It didn't make the brand itself look bad, but Ray Kroc was a huge POS.

High School lover(2017) What the fuck happened to James Franco's career he is now playing the dad in lifetime tv movies. 6/10

Milton's secret(2016) Donald Sutherland Michelle Rodriguez 7/10

SebastianLeeDanzig wrote:The Motorcycle Diaries (2004) - 7/10:
Road movie about Che Guevara's South American travels in the early 50s, when he was still a medicine student. It's a decent road movie, though hardly political, so a bit weak as an "origin story" of one of the biggest revolutionary heroes. Starring the conductor from Mozart in the Jungle.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. IMO, the movie is great until the last 1/3. The actors were both brilliant. Perfectly cast film.

The Huntsman:Winter War(2016) great looking movie ,cast full of beautiful people, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, Jessica Chastain, Chris Hemsworth 7/10

Someone Like You (2001) Ashley Judd, Hugh Jackman, Greg Kinnear, Elle Barkin, Marisa Tomei. Not a bad rom com but kinda weird to see a scene on a terrace mentioning they can see the twin towers in a 2001 movie.6.5/10

This story is fascinating. Had no idea Kroc wasn't the founder.

48 Hours - There are at least 25 racial things in this movie that would make it impossible to be released today. Great cast, very well written and really good gunfights.

The Conjuring 22(2016) Vera Farmiga Patrick Wilson. Zzzzzzzz, fell asleep twice .Horror movie should never be 2 hours+. 4/10

Yeah, The Exorcist fucking blows. So does Dawn of the Dead.

Field of Dreams with my boys who are 10 and 11. Thought it would have been too slow for them, but they were fascinated by it. Had to make up an allergy lie during the catch scene. "What's wrong with your eyes dad?"
