What is the best recent movie you’ve seen.

[Meta not Meta]

If you loved Borisov in Anora, you will love him in this movie, it's pretty much the same role: the apparent thug, who turns out to be a little (or a lot) more interesting than that ...

Watched Novocaine a few days ago, it was a lot of fun. Absurd concept but thats the fun of it. Dude can't feel pain. So that makes for some very fun situations.

This is the film starring Jack Quaid the son of Meg Ryan and Denni Quaid? He has a good acting lineage.

HM, you are probably too young to remember but his mother was considered quite a hottie back in the day, the day being the 1980s, up til and including Sleepless in Seattle in 1993. Now she falls into the GILF category, LOL.

I just saw it tonight. Kind of reminded me of "Nobody", but better. Jack Quaid is always great in these comedic roles. Action's pretty decent too.

If you want another great Jack Quaid movie with a good gimmick, I'd recommend "Companion". It's even better than Novacaine, imho.

The Sex bot movie? I have it in my backlog but it does not seem much of an action movie no? More like a horror thriller?

There's some action, but it's definitely not a horror (imho). More like a thriller/comedy maybe.

Last night, I watched "Flow".

It was so beautiful and emotional, I loved it.

I saw this movie with 2 of my friends a couple weeks ago (we followed it with Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.. completely different vibe! I hadn't seen it in a while)
It was adorable All 3 of us shed a few tears.

Recently a movie that really caught my attention was ''Babygirl'' with Nicole Kidman. I've watched a lot of movies in the past few weeks (in between episodes of The White Lotus) and I will say that one was a masterpiece in my opinion. I love erotic thrillers.

Top Gun Maverick is the best I've ever seen. I give it a 98 out of 100. It sucks cause once you see it you just have to realize most movies don't even come close to how great it is

Top Gun Maverick had me actually show up at the movie theater to see it and didn't mind paying $22 either.

"Oh, wait ... I can have this?"

Professor Pam, geeking-out in the Criterion Closet, so sweet & unaffected, sharing an infectious love of movie history.

She clearly knows her stuff ... would love to see her in that desired remake of Summertime, I can totally see it, especially as dressed here, complete with librarian glasses.

"How dark do you want to go?"

A line near the beginning of David Cronenberg's bleakly witty, uniquely unsettling & very personal (one senses) new film The Shrouds.

The main actor, Vincent Cassel, looks remarkably like Cronenberg himself. And the autobiographical elements are strong, as the main character (like Cronenberg) has recently lost his wife of many decades, so it's very much a work about grief, and maybe for that reason a film not for everyone.

I recently saw again The Fly, which holds up remarkably well, and I'm hoping to see again, this week, Scanners for the first time since its original release. And like those films, 'body horror' is very much to the fore in The Shrouds.

Looking back on his career its been remarkably strong and consistently so throughout. And The Shrouds features many familiar themes and character dynamics.
