Recommend some good movies!

That recent mini-series on CNN called The Movies reminded me of a lot of great films that I've missed. Now that summer concert season is about over I can get back to movies and books that have been piling up.

Like the exact opposite for me as late sept/oct/nov has too many shows and I've only seen 2-3 the whole summer

You're right, what am I talking about? I've got almost as much lined up as I did in June, July and August.
Don't you guys ever get tired of going to so many shows?

Maybe a big one once a month, but mainly area artists here and there at interesting venues like record stores, so not really. Got a few free tickets for Jiffy Lube which is about 15 minutes away, so I rarely say no to those. At my age it's all about the weather and the parking situation.
Okay back to the topic. Amazing Grace was exactly that.
Never Look Away

Gloria Bell
Truman Show. Quality pic.

Yeah that was a really good one. Totally unexpected plot and tone twists.

Thumbs down on that one for me. It started well enough, like it was going to be some kind pf psychological thriller. Then it turned into standard horror movie garbage. I'm not sure what the critics saw in the one, other than a chance to kiss ass the Black director.
Gurrrrl, I just watched Ant Man.  It was so good and a cute, simple superhero movie.

It took me almost half the movie, to realize the lead actress, was what's her name from Lost.

Here's hoping the sequel, is just as good!
Hail Satan!
Parasite  (not out yet)
I want to see The Goldfinch this weekend but I feel there's no way a 2.5 hour movie can possible do that novel justice. Early reviews are so bad.

Anyway, as for movies I have actually seen and therefore can recommend: The Mountain with Jeff Goldblum is fantastic. Rick Alverson is going to blow up as a director at some point.

Everyone did. I'm trying to convince myself to wait three months until it crashes onto HBO/Showtime. Really loved the book though.
Same with Where'd You Go, Bernadette?
Great Book
Directed by Linklater

Critics trashed- 46% RT

Anyone catch it?

One of my most favorite books. Definitely not going to the theater to see it.
