Re: What movies have you seen recently?

I'll have to watch it again to see if I can get into the first 2/3 of the movie a little more. Not that it's a slog during that time, but the film's redeeming moments mostly come in the last 1/3 of the movie (with the buildup going into it being very important for it, much like Avengers: Endgame).

Once Upon a time in Hollywood

I didn't love it. It was well done, acting was fantastic with Leo and Brad, the setting was great... I just didn't really like the story or where it was going. I still enjoyed it but for what I usually get from a Tarantino film, i'm a little disappointed. Bottom tier on his movies.

Big Tarantino fan here...felt the same way. I enjoyed Hateful Eight more for his recent films than this one. It had some cool moments but I just never got into it that much. It wasn't as engaging to me as his other films, plain and simple. And I love Tarantino and pretty much everyone in the film.

This was a movie that overtly demanded your attention, and you were more than welcome to provide it (although given the PG-13 rating, I do question how it will hold up for minors during the first third of the movie). Rian Johnson made something that could take to the stage someday, and I think it's that kind of audience that this would compel most.

To say that it delivered would be an understatement. Every minute of the run time mattered. This will stick with me for a while, and hopefully also garner Oscar consideration for best original screenplay.


Just saw this and couldn’t sum it up better than Blzer did. Awesome movie, great comedy while also relatively suspenseful with twists and turns. Well worth the price of admission. Go see it.

I know, his endings for Django and OUATIH were such that I could just hear Quentin giggling like a maniac behind the camera. lol
