Mank is very good if you dig golden age hollywood stuff. Gary Oldman tops.
I loved Mank! Great writing, acting, and directing.
I personally didn't love Mank. It was too on the nose for me, and I'm generally pretty forgiving of even heavy-handed directorial conceits. Purely an opinion, I would agree that Oldman is often good, and certainly don't wonder why anyone else liked it.
Reason I came here, though, was to mention that I watched Kill Bill II (speaking of directorial conceits!) for the first time in a long while. The thing is just amazing. One of those movies that I remember completely, and yet it still blows me away. One where I sit all the way through the credits just to stay in the world. If you haven't seen it in a while, go give it another watch.

That's good to hear; I was sold on the movie as soon as I saw the trailer.
Semi-related, in that it looks ludicrous and awesome, I'm also really looking forward to Mortal Kombat…

You can watch the first few minutes of Mortal Kombat on HBO Max @Chris

Waaaay ahead of you- I watched that clip yesterday
It's weird that I'm so excited about it; I didn't watch the original movies and I really sucked at playing the game, so I didn't put much time into trying. But for some reason I'm all in on this one…

^Then watch Nobody.

I would like you to leave this room if you don't like the JOHN WICK sequels so us, sophisticated, intelligent, knowledgeable folk can continue to discuss the art of the movie…

I'm re-watching TRANSPORTER 2 in a bit and am gonna download NOBODY for tomorrow morning…
Have you watched Rogue City @Seul ? Love it, great pacing and acting another winner from Olivier Marchal.
Mosul is worth seeing as well. -
Watched The Sound Of Metal last night,about a drummer who looses his hearing. Was initially not going to watch it but it’s getting a lot of nominations/Oscar buzz. Not really sure how I feel about it. Curious if anyone else had seen it?
@den1mhead put me onto this film a month or two ago. I love it. It has so many subtext, what defines 'normal', what it means to fit in somewhere or nowhere. My closest mate, and drummer in the band I played in has gone through a similar thing for years, rather than hearing loss he has neurological damage. Sometimes he is suicidal, almost impossible to go on, but somehow he holds it together.
It's a great film, in my intimation.
