What is the best recent movie you’ve seen.

[Doc Holliday]

I don't get it: It seems like you absolutely LOVED the movie but you only rated it 4 out of 5. Don't get me wrong, that's a good score, but I was expecting a 5 out of 5 after your rave review. I'm curious about what it would take for you to award a 5, given how much you loved this movie. Are there any that you've seen that you WOULD give a 5 to, and if so which ones?

5 out of 5 stars for me would be a movie like The Godfather. Godfather II. Gone with the Wind. Ben Hur. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood isn't as good as those movies in my book. But i did absolutely love the movie. So that's why i gave it a 4 out of 5 stars.

"Leonardo DiCaprio attended the premiere of the movie ["Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"], by the end his date was too old for him. Even Prince Andrew was like 'come on man, you're nearly 50,'"

Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes

Later Gervais cracked another one that made me chuckle: "Later we'll watch a short clip from 'The Irishman'. The clip's only 88 minutes long."

I agree with the Doc Holliday rating of 4 out of 5 for OUTIH. I would rate a couple Tarantino films higher - Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards I would give a 4.75 and 4.5, respectively. I would also give Django Unchained a 4 out of 5.

I absolutely loved 'Pulp Fiction', 'Inglourious Basterds' and 'Django Unchained'. All very different films from one another (including OUTH) but all brilliantly made, told, filmed & acted. They are all part of my collection of very good/great movies.

I will see 1917 tomorrow. I've got the deluxe reclining heated seats and I plan to get a bucket of popcorn and I plan to enjoy the show.

BTW - Ricky was on fire during the monologue. I had to watch it on youtube pretty much because of what Ricky Gervais was talking about. I hate watching these self-loathing Hollywood types get an award and then pitch their favorite cause.

The movie is about two Lance Corporals that have 24 hours to cross No Man’s Land to deliver a General officer's written order to the Devonshire Battalion to call off an attack. The Devon’s believe that the German’s are in a full-scale retreat and they have them on the run but it is really just a tactical withdrawal to the Hindenburg line. The General officer is privy to recent air reconnaissance that the Devon’s aren’t aware of. The German’s have cut the telephone wires so the best and quickest way to call off the attack is to have these two Lance Corporals cross No Man’s Land hand deliver the General’s order to stand down.

It was a little bit like Saving Private Ryan but a little slower. I really like the way they depicted the realism of the trenches and how the two soldier got through the wire into No Man’s Land with all the bloated bodies of both men and animals with body parts everywhere and all the craters The two men cross over to the German position which has just recently been vacated and see that the enemy has more elaborate trench system including an underground barracks.

Without ruining it I will say that the set was amazing and everything appeared authentic (or as authentic as I can imagine) and I was on the edge of my seat from the moment those two Lance Corporals went over the top and started on their journey until the end of the movie. I was wondering if the British had mixed units in WWI. They show a sepoy integrated into a British unit and they show a few black troops mixed in with the Devons.

For me it was a 5/5 star experience. Maybe not quite as good as Private Ryan but a close 2nd.

Knives Out

Highly entertaining film, with excellent performances. I am not the biggest Daniel Craig fan, but I thought he was excellent in this movie. His performance fit perfectly with the tone of the movie. Ana de Armas, as the naive, innocent, kind-hearted nurse, has forever earned herself casting as these kinds of characters. Hers was probably the best performance in the movie, but I enjoyed the entire cast and the plot twists and turns. Strong recommendation on this one.

A Simple Favor: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a_simple_favor

This is free on Amazon Prime. It is 85% thriller and 15% comedy. This is a quirky thriller that is very well done starring Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick. Anna Kendrick plays a single mom, homemaker with a young child. Blake Lively is a sexy trophy wife/femme fatale who disappears after asking Anna to look after her child.

This was a quirky, and at times mildly amusing high-value thriller and I thought it was very well done.

Blake Lively was actually really fucking good in this movie! She’s progressed since her gossip girl

I thought she was outstanding in it. I even liked that Anna Kendrick. She is the tiny cute one doing those Hilton commercials. As far as Brad Pitt goes, I loved him in Fury.

I haven't watched that one Sharkman. I will have to.
