Yep. But your right it did suit the film.

I have no idea why… (topic?, actors?,etc.) …
But the ‘chick-flick’ “Julie & Julia” from '09 is simply a great movie that I’ve saved on my DVR; and I watch it over & over about every 4-5 months…

Came here to say the same. “Get Out” is a deeply satisfying movie that had me thinking about how good it was for days afterwards. Most definitely recommended.

I somehow missed this when it went out live. Did anybody see it?

Most Relevant Detail: Christopher Lambert is a safecracker!

This is a movie that in the wrong hands would be a clumsy Twilight Zone horror flick, but kudos to Jordan Peele (!) for such incredibly subtle, careful, clever writing and direction on such a small budget. And for making a movie that can work on so many levels at once.
In an interview for “Keanu”, Peele mentioned his upcoming horror movie work, and I thought oh boy, comedy horror, yeesh. Never would I think when watching Key & Peele that he’d be one of the most exciting new directors in years.

I LOVE that movie, but I’ve never seen it in English, and I know I’ve missed much of the plot.

That trailer and Luc Besson make me want to go see this.

There are two great things about the English dub. 1) Lambert does his own lines in English. And 2) there is the matter of Batman and Robin.

Anyone have a good Netflix recommendation? I am so tapped out on good material right now. I started watching the latest How to Get Away with Murder even though I really don’t like it just because it’s like a beach read - a lot of hooks to keep me interested - but I’m not in love with it.

I am not familiar with your tastes, but I enjoyed “The Detectorists.”
It has been around for a while, so forgive me if this recommendation is redundant.

It’s great! Besson has a flair for visual such that you don’t need to worry about the dialogue.
Supposedly his first film lacked dialogue, but I haven’t seen it.

Last night, we watched “The Girl with All the Gifts”, which was a zombie film from a different perspective. We liked it.
On the other hand, My son and I saw “Life” at the theatre today. It was very pretty to look at, much like “Gravity”. But without any spoilers, it was sort of off. I am no astronaut, but I grew up surrounded by astronauts and test pilots. Among the things that they do not do, talking about their feelings is pretty high on the list. They are also super unlikely to ever say (mild spoiler)-
“Screw the isolation protocol, open the airlock!”.
Films where the characters make bad decisions over and over are frustrating to me. Especially when the actors are playing people who, in the real world, would be selected for their superior calm under pressure and self discipline. Just my opinion.

I saw two polar opposites recently though - moonlight and kong: skull island.

Something funny: Scrotal Recall (its better than the name implies)
Something less funny: Making a Murderer

Just watched Nocturnal Animals. I thought it was great. Really liked the multiple layers, had a Coen-esque vibe to it, and Adams and Gyllenhaal were very good. And Michael Shannon was, well, Michael Shannon.
@Max_Blancke, I’ve heard good things about The Girl with All the Gifts, have been meaning to check that out.

My brother recommended Train to Busan, a pretty tight South Korean zombie flick. I was too tired/distracted to commit to it this evening, but nonetheless it kept sucking me in. A hoot and a half, and I’ll watch it properly tomorrow.
Yeah, motherf***ing zombies on a motherf***ing train. With stops.
