What's The Last Movie You’ve Seen?

the restored version of Orson Welles Othello from 1951 is truly a masterpiece n it had all sorts of outragous constraints on the production. He had some great camera work and beautiful locations. definitely worth a watch if u havent seen. he pulled out all sorts of tricks to make this work when it had lots working against it. The restoration which was spearheaded by his daughter was so, so clutch, n well worth it.


I have lots of screens n sometimes when im drawing a blank on something new to throw on ill put this on, it never gets stale to me. Welles massive stage presence is well captured in this one.

Not a movie but im really liking the new show Reacher on amazon. I have read over 20 of the jack reacher books (I think there are like 28 or some ****) and the show has done a great job of following the book. The dude playing reacher is perfect. (****ing tom cruise lol) Might be too ****ing huge even (which is crazy cause reacher is supposed to be huge). Guy is a giant.

He's actually shorter than the book describes - the books have him as 6'5" (heck, the show describes him that way, too) but the actor is only 6'2". Heck, that's shorter that 2 of my sons.

He actually started his career as a model for Abercrombie & Fitch, and I can guarantee you read that and thought, "Oh, yeah, that makes sense." Like, not just that he was a model, but for Abercrombie & Fitch.

I've seen him in other stuff before, but in this, he kind of moves funny, like he just had 50 lbs of muscle stapled onto his body last week and he's not quite comfortable with it yet. He plays the character like he's on the autism spectrum, tho, which is actually pretty cool.
 
I'm really interested in seeing the new Tragedy of MacBeth. My favorite version of it so far has been the Fassbender version, just because the cinematography was just amazing. I mean, Fassbender is great, and Cotillard is great, but the Director/DP/cinematographer are gods. They use color like a knife.

Fassbender is solid but he must have the worst ****ing agent on the planet. Dude has so many awful whiffs over the last ten years.
 
Even Dwarfs Started Small (1970) 10/10 would watch many times over. It's nothing short of amazing. One of Werner Herzogs first films.



U can find the full film on YT with English Subs.
 
The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (1974), 10/10, its a 45 min documentary by Werner Herzog you can find for free on YT. Absolute masterpiece. It finds a much better midground between sport and film than most any sports films ive seen, and imo is one of the strongest films in Herzogs whole catalogue.

While seemingly a documentary about a ski jumping event and a great ski jumper there's really an underlying tone of the human element to this film, it delves into dreams and limitations as many of Herzogs films do, this one is truly one of the finer examples though.

Full disclosure I tend not to believe the story about the Raven Steiner tells near the end, seems to me Herzog fed him those lines to jazz it up a bit... maybe I'm wrong.. Excellent film that really i'd recommend to just about anyone.. Im sure even a preoccupied child could stop in their tracks and appreciate how cool some of these shots of the jumpers are flying (and crashing) in slow motion.
 
Lessons of Darkness (1992) 11/10 must see. this Herzog Doc will take your breath away, and not for any reason thats good. I cant help but think that Mad MAx Fury road had a 200mil budget and cant even remotely compete with the doom and destruction upon the landscape (and the populous) as seen here in Kuwait..
 
Documentaries like Lessons of Darkness are why i think Horror is such a weak genre.. IF you want horror there's documentaries that blow the best horror films(suspiria, 1977) out of the water
