    Hell or High Water (2016)

    What a good movie. The little guy versus the voracious, money-grabbing bank. Every scene mattered, every character mattered, and every piece of dialogue mattered.

        Took a while longer than I thought but finally got to see this one last night. Outstanding film. Perfect cast, perfect resolution to the story (in that it is in no way "perfect"). :5:/:5:

          saw this over the weekend.

          i can not praise this movie enough.

          i found parallels with "No Country for Old Men", but with the antagonist totally contrary a psycho killer.

          a V powerful movie that also deals with some quite relevant race issues of the day in stark reality.

          I am so obliged you guys brought this movie to my attention.

            Eat That Question - Frank Zappa in His Own Words (2016)
            by bigburner
            I watched this movie last night and it was time well spent – interesting and informative. You don't need to be a fan of Frank Zappa's music to appreciate the man. I have never enjoyed his avant-garde work, and I don’t think that’s going to change. His 1970s rock music is what appeals to me,...

            Snowden (2016)
            by bigburner
            Love him or hate him, Edward Snowden remains an enigma of our time. Whilst director Oliver Stone's film fleshes out some areas of Snowden's history, personality and personal convictions, it doesn't hold a candle to the real thing as depicted in Laura Poitras' film 'Citizenfour' (2014).

            I have just finished watching this 10-part HBO series about a theme park populated by intelligent androids that caters for hedonistic humans who wish to indulge their most extreme fantasies without fear of consequences. My lips are sealed but I can let you know that the androids get a bit f*cked off...
