Re: Are Hollywood Movies Dead?

I haven't seen half as many films as you have and based on a cursory glance at your profile my tastes are considerably more low-brow than yours, but I feel nothing but optimism about the future of cinema because the year 2019 saw many new films that just about moved me to tears. For obvious reasons...

Re: Are Hollywood Movies Dead?

is there any film director under the age of sixty, in any part of the world, about whom one could have reasonable expectations that they will produce future masterpieces?

Re: Upcoming in 2017

The PTA/Daniel Day-Lewis untitled film I think is slated for a late 2017 release (it's shooting now). Fashion in the 1950s isn't really my thing, but with those two involved sign me up. I'm intrigued by Aronofsky's Mother! (not sure why it's stylized like that). I really hated that he did Noah after...

tinker tailor soldier spy (tomas alfredson)

everything worth fighting for was lost long ago, but still the insects at MI6 scrabble for tiny, futile gains, while the "good guy" is so monstrously jaded he operates with the sociopathic manipulation of a grandmaster who wants only to watch the other pieces fall. it might be the greatest...

Re: Promising Filmmakers

First off I agree completely with Marc Webb and look forward to seeing what he can do with the Spider-Man reboot. secondly Tomas Alfredson as Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy was terrific (best picture snub for sure). I also second Armando Iannucci for In the Loop. My picks: J.C. Chandor - Margin Call (a...
