I tried to watch that movie but turned it off because his performance just wasn't on the same level as Jo Don Baker from decades past.
whoa. I did not know it was a remake! I turned it off too Spoiler around the time the Rock was elected sheriff .
this movie is alright, albeit glorified crime galore. lol. It is decent. It has Matthew McConaughey, but I don't know the name of the lead actor. He's young.
Quentin sure knows how to make em. And if I had to pick an alternate reality for the conclusion of all that Manson hoopla... I sure would pick this one!
More than anything else, "A Monster Calls" reminds me of the lessons on life I learned in the time I spent at boarding school all those years ago. Life lessons. Emotional learning. Those are things that you cannot forget. This movie moves me in ways that I can't really describe. It was for me, a fantastic journey into the past, and one back to something that really I can never forget. What a wonderful thing to discover. I sort of wish in some way that I thought it would bring someone else the same thoughts and feelings it brought me. But I know that's not the way it works. Enjoy this movie if you want to. I hope that it connects someone else with a part of their soul they thought they left behind.
I hear a lot of Tarantino fans complain its average at best, but I thought it was very well made as usual. Superb atmosphere, build up and climax
IMO he's made a whole career of ripping off other movies. I mean, he literally remade Lady Snowblood with a white woman. And don't get me started on his incessant need to use the n word in his movies. Hack movie maker with cringey dialog. But that's my opinion.
I have my own issues with Tarentino but this isnt one of them. I wouldn't call what he does "ripping off." More like deliberately paying homage to films he likes and respects
