Yesterday, me and wife watched Bohemian Rhapsody and we liked it so much. It's a great movie with a great performance by Rami Salek, a strong contender for Best Actor Academy Award. I hope he wins.

I watched the 1st part of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and wasn't impressed. Are the other chapters better?

Watched A Star is Born this week and loved it.
Reminded me of an 1979 movie called The Rose.
I'm gonna have to agree with joxer about "Hereditary"…it was pretty bad. It has been a long time since I have seen a really good horror movie made by Hollywood. They seem to have gone into stagnation in the genre. I suppose if you haven't seen many horror movies, then you might find hereditary good, but to those of us who have seen so many like me, it was just totally routine and dull. Nothing interesting.
So as not to sound like I'm always a critic, 2 relatively recent movies I saw that I really liked were "Upgrade" and "Sicario: Day of the Soldado"
Upgrade is a low budget science fiction movie, but surprisingly good. I think it was made in Australia. It has all no name people as the stars, but surprisingly good acting and the story is intriguing and well done too. Worth seeing for sci-fi fans.
Sicario: Day of the Soldado is a sequel to the awesome move, Sicario, from a few years back. It is a great sequel, and in its own way, just as good as the original. I would say the movie is even more brutal and stark than the first film. It is very dark in its tone and vision, but filmed beautifully and with an artistic style. And like the first movie, with breathtaking cinematography of desert landscapes. Benicio Del Toro is amazing in the film, and in fact, I think I liked this sequel even more than the first film, which is rare for me.

True.It has been a long time since I have seen a really good horror movie made by Hollywood. They seem to have gone into stagnation in the genre.
A "Director's Cut" brings the film from its theatrical 162 minutes, to 186 minutes. Scenes include expanded action sequences, and additional exposition. The "Ultimate Cut" brings the film from its theatrical 162 minutes, to a whopping 215 minutes.
What a different movie yet the same. I have seen each of these at least a few times each?.I have a hard time understanding how or why this isn't the standard to what movies should be made to.
Make it two minutes for me as I can't smoke in there.It's a well known fact that the average movie-going audience generally starts to get fidgety around the 2 hour/2 hour 30 minute mark.
