Your perfect or near-perfect movie...

My only complaint about the Patriot is I think that they left a lot of it probably on the film editing floor.

 

Ol' Art should've had the foresight to refuse to allow his name and likeness to be used in the movie like Paul DePodesta did.

 

Can a person actually do that?

 

Has anyone heard about this film?

Netflix Paid $105 Million To Unite Some Of The World’s Greatest Actors For What May Be The Most Anticipated Film Of The Century

What do you get when you put together Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Harvey Keitel and Al Pacino? An awesome movie. That’s what. On top of all these incredible icons, you also have an Oscar-winning director: Martin Scorsese. Sounds too good to be true? Well, it’s happening!


According to reports, Netflix has successfully secured its rights to what is shaping up to be the most anticipated films of the decade. They shelled out $105 million in order to have right to ‘The Irishman’ and let’s be real here, people can’t wait to see this.


It has been reported that the deal will allow Netflix to share the film to not only their 93 million subscribers but that it will also boost their subscriptions. Apparently, Netflix started the negotiations with Scorsese shortly after Paramount Pictures dropped out of the project.


According to Daily Mail, a spokesperson noted that Scorsese’s films are known to be a risky deal and Paramount does not typically take risks. By joining Netflix, he is able to do the film that he wants.

So what’s this film even about? Well, it’s based on the life of mob hitman Frank Sheeran who allegedly confessed on his deathbed to murdering his good friend Jimmy Hoffa.

Jimmy Hoffa is the union leader whose disappearance remains one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in American history. The story itself sounds incredible and the list of actors just adds to it.

Daily Mail writes that De Niro will be playing Sheeran and it’ll be his ninth film with Scorsese. The director helped launch the actor’s career back in 1972 with Mean Streets.



And as for the role of Hoffa? That’ll be played by none other than Al Pacino, who’s another Oscar winner and happens to be a good friend of Robert De Niro’s. But this will be Pacino’s first Scorsese film!

All the actors in the film are pretty familiar with one another and most have starred in past films together. But this will be the first time the group will all be involved in working on a film together…simultaneously.









This is something that ‘Orange is the New Black’ creator Jenji Kohan and Brit Marling of ‘The OA’ have raved about in interviews. We honestly can’t wait for this film to be released.

I have not heard of this movie but am anxiously awaiting it’s release!!

 

Charlize Theron also has to be one of my most beautiful women in the world category. She also is a damned good actress that isn't afraid of making herself look bad if the role calls for it.

 

My all-time favorite movie is The Deer Hunter.

Some of my other top favs are: The Godfather I & Ii, Fargo, Mystic River, Rudy, The Green Mile, Full Metal Jacket, October Sky, Miracle, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Donnie Darko, and Dead Poets' Society.

One film I really enjoy from the past decade is Nebraska (2013).

 

Oh, duh, throw V for Vandetta on my list as well.

 

Alan Moore hates you.

 

I'd like to give the Wachowski brothers a Viking funeral for what they did to V For Vendetta.

Rest of your list was great up until that. Nebraska was excellent.

 

I can appreciate the movie by separating it from the comic and viewing it on it's own merits. Yeah, the comic was great, but if you view the movie without seeing it through the lenses of the comic, it's pretty good.
