Mrs. Peel 7,157 Posted November 25, 2019 It seems like there's 2 really great films coming out this season... I think we expect to see both of these featuring prominently in the Oscars: First up, opening in theaters Dec 13th, is Richard Jewell by - still in great form @ 90-years young! - director Clint Eastwood. The movie is about the security guard at the 1996 Olympics who discovered pipe bombs and directed crowds away, arguably saving 1000s of lives, yet was wrongly accused of setting the bombs himself. As many of us might recall, he was utterly and savagely pilloried by the press & law enforcement which destroyed his reputation/life. Critics are raving about it! Next up is 1917 directed by Sam Mendes. I've read several reviews that are saying it's the best war movie to come along in years and that it will undoubtedly be nominated (and probably win) an Oscar for cinematography in particular (Roger Deakins is the cinematographer). This looks like a really great one, too - not just a movie that looks amazing on the screen, but also a very absorbing story about 2 soldiers on a Hail Mary mission to head off the slaughter of 1600 troops. Opening in theaters on Christmas Day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YankeeSC 1,204 Posted November 25, 2019 My wife and I rarely go to the movies anymore because we're fed up with the bs hollywood elites and we refuse to support them - but we will definitely go see the Clint film! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opening in theaters on Christmas Day. 1917 had a tent outside at NY Comic Con - they showed off some of the sets and how they made certain shots.... It was pretty amazing. They had huge sets made up with trenches and craters and shot a lot of scenes in one continuous shot. I have no doubt it will win for cinematography. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

voyager9 3,434 Posted November 25, 2019 Mandelorian doesn’t take place anywhere near the core worlds. It’s out near the fringe. Nowhere near Tatooine. the 30 minute episodes are frustratingly short. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Id settle for standard 50-60 min episodes. 25-35 minute episodes don’t have time for any pacing. “Episode 10: Mando drops a deuce and surfs his phone. The end”.

CMJeepster 2,778 Posted December 2, 2019 "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" was good. Not a bio pic at all. I have to get to see "Ford vs. Ferrari." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carl_g 568 Posted December 2, 2019 The latest episode of the mandolarian was pretty good. I like the Jack Ryan series. The first year was great..I'd say this second one is pretty good..it seemed a little short to me but worth checking out IMO 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
