a mostly delightful romp about life in a New York Kitchen filled with all the trial and tribulations you'd expect in today's melting pot of America. 40% of the movie is intentionally in Spanish, purposefully to show the actual realization of the supposed American dream. Most of the movie is shown thru, Luis, a chef and a bully that deserves to get his ass beat within the first 25 minutes. Rooney Mara, from Girl of the Dragon Tattoo stars as his American server girlfriend, much of the first half of the movie is them dealing with relationship problem that you already know of if you've seen any movie ever.

the second act of the movie, the director shows sharp conclusions of what he thinks of the food service industry, the class system, and leaving a few opinions for us, black men which he uses two examples, the first; some dude tries to get laid, its a swing and a miss, but at least he aint gay. The second, you know it when you see it, but in spite the setting being a grill at Times Square, aint too many black ppl in this movie, for all I know it was the same dude all along.

he saves his worst criticism for the average white man, once he can't hide behind his money, I'll leave those Easter Eggs for those brave enough to watch and tolerate the movie.

I fully expect this movie to be on everybody end of year list, and Rooney Mara to get her third Academy Award nomination, but the critics already hating on it, guess it's not white enough, 9/10 @Mr Hate Coffee @FlyRy @Bryan Danielson @Peter Popoff @Lootpack @TheNatureBoy

Rooney Mara is 40 and they way she got dragged in Dragon Tattoo, you would have thought she would have aged faster. with the black and white asthetic, she easily passes for 27, 28..... must be nice to be born on third base @Cheese McNair @I love Latina women @RennisDeynolds
watching this now. I've watched all the directors movies in order starting this past week.

This used to be on cable all the time back when. It's a good flick tho. Tight script. Maybe just one strange subplot with the dude who has a breakdown becauze of the French teacher and the prank they play on him which still doesn't make sense.

Matt Damon played a good cowardly bigot. Perfect casting. Fraser is good too. The old Jew who is just trying to be a jew story lol

Love this one. Ridiculous cast and an all-timer cinematography-score combo. The runtime puts me off on re-watches, yet it always wraps me up with how atmospheric it is whenever I do manage to put it on. It’s like reading a dreadful, melancholic novel where I know something awful is about to happen and still can’t stop turning the pages.

As another western story, RDR 2 evoked the same feeling to me where you knew from the get-go that crew wouldn’t pan out and I liked how it paid homage to this film with its train robbery, which is admittedly a sick ass shot. Deakins called it the high watermark of his career and I gotta agree.

This is, IMO, Clooney’s finest performance and even then I can’t help but feel this does not fully work without Wilkinson. Gilroy goes on to put out Andor, but this one still impresses me with how polished it is for a directorial debut. Felt like the last of its kind because Hollywood doesn’t really produce corporate thrillers for the big screen anymore.

The coolest part about the hit was how unflashy and matter-of-fact it was, literally moving Wilkinson’s body as if it was furniture. We were at a family get-together the previous scene, lmao. Doesn’t get any more cutthroat than that. :demonic:

Tilda’s the best. The way she dropped to her knees upon realizing how fukked she was. :russ: :wow:

On my ‘07 shyt. One of the GOAT years in cinema.

Still making my way through movies that I've had in my queue for a while. I remembered this getting praise for the performances back when it came out and it does deliver in that aspect. Often sad at times with its depiction of damaged individuals within a fukked up a situation, that is murky with the truth in different aspects. Did have me looking forward to Charles Melton's role in Beef Season 2, whenever that drops.

a digital release about an espionage thriller where the spies turn on each the five seconds, there not being hounded by bullets. Takes place at a Polish resort and village so nothing but dreary landscapes. Sound should do well with your surround sound and the drone they got at the end they definitely spent money on but those two the only stars here, 5/10
