This just needs to be pinned forever on the first page.

Thinking this will be Davis vs Stone. Would be totally on Stone's train if Davis had won for The Help.

Highly recommend the 1987 Soviet version if you haven't seen it (it's on YouTube with subtitles). Appropriately gloomy and keeps the original ending.

When it's all said and done this will probably be the performance Leo is best remembered for.

This is already his third film.

They'd still turn their nose up at Spielberg. If you just said Kubrick that'd hit the spot. I'm getting more and more jazzed for this.

In retrospect Beyond should have probably followed the two previous films and gone for May 20 from the start.

Weren't you convinced it would open to 170m, like, yesterday? Cuz that ain't happening any more.

18.8m previews 58.7m OD 124.433m OW

Among the good ideas buried by everything else the one that stuck out to me was that The Joker and Harley's relationship seemed to be genuine, if however twisted, love, rather than a pathetic one-sided obsession. That could have made for a compelling storyline, if, y'know, someone actually bothered to try and do something with it.

The Secret Life of Pets 7. Ghostbusters 9. Ice Age 5 12. Café Society 15. Captain Fantastic

A damn good early giallo.

Maybe the closest any movie's ever gotten to being a literal garbage fire. That's what it looks like half the time, anyway. Got a kick out of Viola Davis and Jai's Accent, but otherwise it's constantly tripping all over itself with regards to basically everything, and gives the impression that it was written not in six weeks but in six hours, by a posturing 13-year-old kid who has no idea how movies work.

Renner's always had more luck with dramatic roles, I can't blame him for trying to make it as an Action Dude but I hope after he's done with Marvel he goes back to consistently doing the likes of The Hurt Locker, The Town, The Immigrant, etc.

Been thinking since Sundance that Manchester-By-The-Sea is likely to win Original. La La Land and Birth of a Nation will probably be its main competition. And I'd really love it if The Lobster got in, if it's gonna get nominated anywhere it'll be here. Adapted looks like it's gonna be between Fences, Silence and Billy Lynn.

Inessential but fun space adventure flick with the cast as its main asset. Though if/when they do another movie with this crew I hope they try to reach for something more than "pretty good".

Dunno if this has been pointed out but it's gonna be the first year when a pre-summer release will technically have made enough money during the summer to qualify for the top 15. The Jungle Book has made $99m starting from May 6.

Lol Fox stopped tracking X-Men after 9 weeks. They still aren't finished with KFP3 though.

Ghostbusters 11. Hillary's America 13. Mike and Dave 17. Central Intelligence

I like Matrix Reloaded, X2, T3, 2 Fast 2 Furious and Nemo, to say nothing of Pirates, so I would pick summer '03 over this one in heartbeat.

Jumper is one of the worst movies I've ever seen in the theater.

1. The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover 2. Monsieur Hire 3. Mystery Train 4. The Killer 5. Do the Right Thing 6. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 7. Spirits of the Air, Gremlins of the Clouds 8. Kiki's Delivery Service 9. When Harry Met Sally... 10. sex, lies, and videotape Need to see: Crimes and Misdemeanors, Roger & Me, A City of Sadness, My Left Foot, Drugstore Cowboy, Road House, How to Get Ahead in Advertising, and a bunch more

We get it, Emma Watson isn't starring in it anymore
