    Don't commit the time unless you know what you're getting into. Serial killer fucks her car and gets pregnant. Maybe avant garde, maybe French trash. I saw it on somebody's top ten list somewhere. I wish I could remember the other 9 they liked as a caution. Maybe just too good for 99.99% of us.

    It’s for serious cinephiles and the adventurous moviegoer. Not for the faint of heart or weak stomach. Extremely well made body horror film with something to say about sexuality and gender identity. Winner of the top prize at Cannes and a strong contender for Best International film at the Oscars. My favorite film of the year.

    Simon Rex from Hollywood fame and who used to do gay porn in a new movie by Sean Baker about a porn star who returns to his hometown "semi-welcome". Rotten Tomatoes score of 80% and several international awards.  Around DC it's just playing at the Charles art house theater in Baltimore two showings a week but Amazon already has it on presale to purchase for $15. Don't know why none of the biggies have snagged it yet but it's a lot better and funnier than some drivel they dish out. 

     

     

    Good casting ....here's some of the porn Simon Rex did for gay LA studios when he was younger as Dirt Nasty:

     

     

    He won Best Actor in the LA Critics Awards and should be in the Oscar race. Doubtful though. Happy for him. He was very good in it. I guess he could relate to the character.  Love this movie. It’s in the top 10 of some critics year’s best.

    I just came here to find out what level of scenery chewing Pacino was doing in this film.

    Like, are we talking a low-level simmer Heat kind of thing or was he going full tilt Devil's Advocate.

    He didn’t just chew. He masticated. At least, in those movies, there was a semblance of character development. Here, it’s just Pacino doing that Pacino thing.

    I can only imagine what Martin Scorsese or even Baz Luhrman (Gatsby) could have done with this story. It is a very rich intriguing story.

  4. It’s horrible. Everybody’s just ACTING in capital letters. I didn’t believe for any second these people are real Italians . Just American and English actors with bad wigs and ridiculous accents doing SNL type impersonations. I’ll be very insulted if I was Italian. Jared Leto is the worst!

  5. Seen it three times in IMAX. The only way to see it IMO.  Loved loved it . Will watch it again . I’m so glad it stuck with the book’s tone and atmosphere.  So happy the director didn’t dumb it down with smartass quips and one liners to pander to the Marvel/DC throng. It’s thoughtful and an immersive visual and aural experience.

    I once sat through her trying to sing 'Mother' in Ragtime.  I never forgave her for that.

    That’s strange because I saw her in the concert version of Ragtime at the Lincoln Center and her Back to Before stopped the show. The audience gave her an extended loud enthusiastic ovation.

  7. I think the other Russian guys are Evgeny and Alexander. And yeah, they’re almost like clones. I’ve seen Evgeny. Massage was ok. Got nude at the end but warned that “you can touch everywhere except  down ‘there’ and DIY while he flexed”. So I guess that’s what you get from all three of them. A trio of exhibitionists and teases.

  8. I don’t know why I resisted seeing this movie for the longest time. Maybe because of the subject matter. But I’m glad I finally did. Anthony Hopkins is mesmerizing. I could see why he beat out Chadwick Boseman. He reduced me to tears. By burrowing deep into the mind of a man with dementia, the movie broke my heart, messed with my brain, and scared the s**t out of me.

  9. A thought came into my mind after watching In The Heights. The director Jon M. Chu, who also made Crazy Rich Asians, has perpetuated and reinforced in his movies two  popular and notorious stereotypes of two  minority groups in American culture:  Asian rich, Latinos poor.
