Molly's Game Trailer Starring Idris Elba

[re'up]

It's a masterfully made movie, but it's pretty flawed, such an entertaining, just propulsive narrative, with all of Sorkin's flourishes.

He did date Bloom for a while, so there is that.

Too many cliched scenes, how would her Dad find her in the middle of the park? Trading her Chanel gloves for a hot dog, or whatever. Too much. The whole heavy handedness of the Salem Witch trial references, just delusional. The good criminals vs the "bad" ones.

I've seen it at least twice, and it's such a technical accomplishment, it's hard to dislike.

I just did a quick glance through his filmography, nah, I've never watched any of his other movies

of course I've heard of Social Network and Moneyball, but I never watched them

oh ok, so that's his shtick/signature

 

[O.Red]

This shyt made me find ever movie of hers that I could.

Good movie, and she looked damn good in this.

Didn't even know this was the same chick that was in Mama.

You'd probably love Miss Sloane if you liked this

 

[I love Latina women]

Yes, this is it!

That shyt was so annoying

the first time they did it in Molly's Game it was whatever, but when the shyt kept happening I was like "oh come the fukk on now, this shyt is ridiculous"

 

[daemonova]

She was also looking pretty good in Miss Sloan. A Most Violent Year too..

A most violent year the most mid movie ever

OK, now for my real review...

There is no bigger liar in the world than a thirty five year old white woman. You mean to tell me she was training for the Olympics and then living the high life in NY and LA and while dressing like Regina Russell on skinnemax, stop it. No one believes that, Sorkin the only writer I know that will put a chick on a pedestal even more than joss whedon. This movie was average at best, on every level, script, acting and directing. Yes, Kevin Costner at the end was the highlight. But film of the year? Far from it. Jesse eisenberg had more charisma at the beginning of social network before he turned into an a-hole than cera had in half the movie.

Why was this on Free-form? That Crucible shiet?

Unbelievable.

Idris Elba was in it for about one minute before he said “close that door”. It was like he was Stringer again with the closed doors.

Interesting that Michael Cera’s character is supposed to be Tobey Maguire. Spider-Man seems like a sociopath.

Just watched this now. This movie is good.

Social Network is a modern classic imo. Andrew Garfield had an all time moment in this movie


These tech guys are so smug and unlikable.

The Alex Cross fiasco (got the role finessed from him last second, to Tyler Perry)
The Prometheus fiasco (barely in it)
The Dark Tower fiasco (fake lead, apparently the lil white kid got more focus than him)
The movie with the titanic girl (nobody cared, and awkward marketing)
The whole superhero/action star fiasco (everybody wanted him to play every black superhero + James Bond, but he's still just... "Heimdall")

At this point, I'm reserved to the reality that Idris is what he is at this point: that very talented 6th man off the bench that you think can should be a starter or all star but he's 10 seasons in and still can only get quality minutes on shytty teams (movies).

I mean.... You have a point. I have stopped checking for him unless somebody confirms its a really good film and I will watch it after a set of solid reviews but it's been a while. Luther film and Hijack were both terrible to me and I was excited for both.
