fucking great film. Really weirded me out as a kid when I saw it.
it does
Arlington Road with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins. I rewatched it a while back - still holds up and is fairly tense even though I knew about the twist coming at the end.

This review is one of the least-bad bad reviews. I'm still not going to see the film, though
Juat read this extract from a review: "The best part of the third act is a random, chatty interlude in an abandoned bar, an unannounced pit stop sandwiched between two big face-offs. It makes very little narrative sense. You might even argue that it stops the action dead. But it feels like the movie's true climax —…
I was disappointed at how, for such a thin story, it managed to leave a lot of loose ends (what exactly was implied in the backstory between Riz Ahmed and Alicia Vikander, for instance), but also for such a thin story there was an awful lot of exposition in the first half an hour, and we were repeatedly told the same…

The countryside scenery is pretty, though. Also, the title in French (La Belle Saison) is much more…
"What a beautiful fucking day."
was Little Miss Sunshine on the list?
I just had a look at the list (and congrats, AV Club, on another click-baity list of films not included on the list; I expect tomorrow to see a list called 'Which movies did we overpraise in out list of best comedies since 2000?'). I continue to be bewildered by the praise that The World's End receives. I am glad that…
I can't recall the last time I saw her in a film … it's been years; nothing she's made recently has appealed. I agree, though, that she's a good actress
Nicole Kidman was in an Adam Sandler film? Oh dear.
You could start with this. https://www.youtube.com/wat… It should be an interesting conversation
*Rick Springfield kicks stone*
Great analysis of a great scene. I would disagree, however, that Infamous is a forgettable film. I think it suffered because the Philip Seymour Hoffman movie got more attention, but for my money, as brilliant as PSH was, Jones makes the better Capote.
