Only 24 times ?violet wrote:An Aussie movie that some of you might appreciate. I heard about it on the radio today. Apparently the word CUNT is used 24 times. They had to make a version with only 4 CUNTs in it for some overseas countries.

For the UK most likely. Those cunts are soft as fuck.violet wrote: They had to make a version with only 4 CUNTs in it for some overseas
Rated R for Ricecakes
If you enjoyed narcos, chances are you'll like "the infiltrator", same period and context but focusing on the financial trail.
Plus the lead actor is Walter White. Based on an incredible true story with a memorable ending

"Not my circus, not my monkeys" - KiR
I got to watch four movies this weekend. Rating two of them. The other two were "Zootopia" and "Star Trek: The future begins".
My ratings are 5-point based:
0- Utter shit
1- Waste of time
2- Time killer
3- Good entertainment
4- Amazing
5- Work of art
And they are an average of 6 dimensions (which each have a number of sub-elements): Script, Character, Acting, Timing, Sound and Visuals.
May contain bits of spoilers.
Ex Machina - 4.2/5 (4.5, 5.0, 4.0, 3.7, 4.0, 4.2)
My take: Ex Machina is tackling one of my favorite themes: artificial intelligence and sentient computers. It was pretty engaging and it was brilliant to isolate the two main characters in a bunker, making the whole thing a little bit claustrophobic but not too much (or not enough?), so that their interactions would always advance the plot and provide food for thought on the movie's topic. At the end of the movie, I'm still thinking though that Ava is still a sophisticatedly programmed robot, with intelligence but not sentience, consciousness or morals and ethics.
Loves: Oscar Isaac as Nathan really stole the show. He was perfect in his depiction of the overconfident, super smart, manipulative, cocky billionaire tech genius. The locations were beautiful, especially that melting glacier. The dance scene with Kyoko was awesome too in breaking the monotony of the bunker. The movie's theme and the characters' takes on AI and consciousness were pretty engaging and thought-provoking.
Dislikes: In my opinion, the timeframe seems to be a bit off for Caleb to lose the plot. Just 5 days? really? I kept joking with my friend that that's what you get when you get a socially inept virgin tech wiz as your guinea pig.
Hates: Caleb's character was pretty pathetic.
Disconnect - 3.7/5 (3.8, 4.0, 3.7, 3.7, 4.0, 3.4)
My take: Disconnect was kinda like the award-winning movie Crash but with more modern issues tied to the use of Internet and our interconnectedness. The movie follows three plot lines: a female journalist connecting with an 18-year old camboy for a story, a socially awkward teenage boy being catfished on Facebook, and a grieving couple who loses all their funds in a case of stolen identity and credit cards fraud. The story was pretty predictable in most parts, although I think that the director didn't go far enough for the climax of the movie. The cast was pretty unknown to me to the exception of Jason Bateman. The younger actors actually were the most memorable in my opinion (there are three of them).
Loves: It gotta be the intro song "Sail" by Awolnation. I was already in love with this song, so it gave me a strong impression when it opened the movie. The theme of the movie was also pretty engaging in this world of constant connectedness and with my own online experience.
Dislikes: I think that the story was all pretty predictable as they were dealing with issues that made the news or that are pretty mainstream now.
Hates: I very much disliked the "mom" character as she was the epitome of self-righteousness. I liked the woman journalist but at some point she was being very, very stupid with a dumb "but you're too young" reasoning.

Had a chance to catch up on some 2016 flicks over the break, 'The Accountant' and 'The Infiltrator' are worth watching.
...oh and 'London Town' loosely centering on the Clash / Punk Rock scene in the late 1970s was fucking awful. The Filth and the Fury and Sid and Nancy for me.

if i was aiming to 'review' i would have done so. However, people can read the multitude of reviews that already exist online. My aim was to bring the movie to the attention of readers who might not know about it.Steve Zodiac wrote:Barry Norman must be shittin' himself.violet wrote: will likely only appeal to those that appreciate British movies that reflect real life.
You are a wonderful contribution to the forum, though SZ... see how your post contributed to another post from me? That's teamwork.
