Just watched Whiplash. Not really sure how I feel. First thought is Not a lot of substance.

  

On second thought, that's harsh. It's focused, and that's a good thing.

I expected to like it, but for me it was the musical version of Shame; excellent acting, but not a movie I enjoyed watching or would watch again. The ending was unsatisfying in both cases, too.

I expected to like it, too. It's so squarely in my wheelhouse. I'm a drummer, I love obsessed artist stories, I love jazz, but it just didn't connect with me.

What's everyone's favorite cop movie? Not crime. You can still root for the bad guy but the cops have to favor prominently in the movie.

 

I'd have to say Heat or LA Confidential.

End of Watch

 

I haven't seen it, but it's my favorite.

You know he was in Prince of Persia too, right?

 

 

And the day after tomorrow! That was hot garbage too.

I just finished watching Training Day. I forgot how good it was.

 

Fun fact: Training Day was written by David Ayer, who would go on to direct Academy Award winner Suicide Squad.

 

I watched Birdman for the first time earlier tonight. I kinda love it. The style, the cast, the supernatural stuff, the sets! Oh my goodness the sets are fricken gorgeous. I don't think the movie really means anything or has anything original to say.

 

But holy does Inarritu despise women. And good god is he a crotchety old man with absolutely no insight on the internet/modern culture. Dude's head is soooooo faaaaar up his ass.

 

It was kinda sad to learn that the Always Sunny episode Charlie Work wasn't an original concept. Oh well.

That's tough. I LOVE the Dirty Harry movies.

 

Demolition Man?

 

The Untouchables?

Tombstone?

Oh! Striking Distance! The only thing Sarah Jessica Parker does that I like. Good cast.

Josie, of course Hot Fuzz counts!

 

D4rk, I have all of those on DVD.

Kind of an anti-cop view, but I dig Serpico too.

 

Definitely Fargo.

 

And Super Troopers. Literacola.

Tango and Cash is the ace of that group. Stallone and Kurt Russell. They edge out Stallone and Snipes.

Tango and Cash, Demolition Man and Judge Dredd is a solid winter Sunday playlist.
