I need to see Mommy. It arrives on April 28 on NetFlix but I can't wait that long.
ReplyDeleteThat's too long, but it's worth the wait.
DeleteCeleste and Jesse Forever is such a wonderful little gem.
ReplyDeleteStill jealous that you've gotten to see Mommy. lol
Yeah, it really is a gem.
DeleteCan't wait for you to see Mommy! :)
I need to see Mommy soon!
ReplyDeleteHope you LOVE it! :)
DeleteYou're #1 is everything!
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! :D
DeleteEverywhere I look people are praising Mommy. Needless to say, I'll be watching that shortly after it hits Netflix. Glad to see you enjoyed both Bad Boys movies. I'm not at all a Michael Bay, but did really like this franchise. I think the second one, in particular, gets a bad wrap and is much better than most people say.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I hadn't seen Bad Boys in over a decade, but I really enjoyed both of them. I wouldn't mind seeing a third one. Hope you like Mommy!
DeleteThe Legend of 1900 is such an interesting oddity with a super performance by Tim Roth.
ReplyDeleteI liked Mansfield Park a little more than you and Nowhere Boy a bit less.
Yeah, Tim Roth was terrific, and I really enjoyed the film.
DeleteMansfield Park is the better film, so no argument from me. :)
What an eclectic viewing Josh! Oh this reminds me I still need to see Leviathan! The trailer looks quite gripping.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Mansfield Park, glad you saw that and I think a B grade from you is till pretty good. It's quite a bold adaptation for an Austen film but I adore Frances O'Connor in the role of Fanny. I think Nowhere Boy is ok, I love it mostly for Aaron Johnson's performance.
Oh, Leviathan is great. It's now my #7 film of 2014. :)
DeleteI really enjoyed Mansfield Park, but the first half was a bit slow. Nowhere Boy was nothing special, though I did like it.
I liked Leviathan, but I didn't love it. I think I may be swept away with "Mommy" even more on a second screening, I was kind of tired for my first watch. You and Fisti seem to have a very similar taste in film!
ReplyDeleteLeviathan and Winter Sleep were very close to cracking my 2014 Best Picture lineup, but I couldn't decide where to put them, so they're just outside of my top 5. Mommy is a #1 film that Fisti and I agree on, but keep in mind that the last film we both give Best Picture is Children of Men, which is almost ten years ago. :)
