Scorsese wanted to do at least one film he could watch with his grandkids.
Stellar cinematography and performances.
Sacha Baron Cohen really shows his depth of range and is great on screen.

Yeah, all the characters are messed up, and the director did a great job of conveying that, with the assistance of the director of photography, I guess (I always wonder how that breaks down in the best films). Small details like Bridget Fonda's character convincing her husband to lean into the wrongdoing. Her bangs (haircut) make her look even more cynical and scheming. And Brent Briscoe's character making fun of Bill Paxton's character for being a "college boy." The actors did a great job there, because the taunts, body language and gestures seem absolutely real. And during the scene where they try to record Brent Briscoe's character in order to blackmail him, we know things are going to go horribly wrong, and it's like watching storm clouds gather. Bleak portrayal of human nature, for sure, but damn that's some fine cinematic art!

We seldom get to see it, but it's one of the best put-together films, ever. It's not comedy, it's humor, well-written, and delivered by people who inhabit the roles and don't come across like they're acting. Excellent stuff.

We watched some of it and saw that it had real potential as noir. Recorded for another time.

That's a wonderful movie! The humor is obvious and subtle at the same time. A well-put together production.

Fantastic Australian movie. Funny, sad, thought provoking, Chaotic. Watch it despite the relatively low 6.1 stars, it's worth it!

Whether it's good or bad, I'll watch anything with Steve Buscemi in it.

American History X with Ed Norton… an incredible film about racism that you will never forget, ever.

Great film, not for the faint of heart (GRAPHIC.)
Ed Norton is so good in this it explains why he was such a popular pick in hollywood for a few years til they actually had to work with him.
Reminds me of another great film with him that is just not given enough credit.
Turn off the lights, turn up the sound and just embrace.
Cinematography and soundtrack are marvelous

Roberto was excellent in Life is Beautiful.If you like black+white movies without car chases…
"Hundreds of Beavers" from last year.
This one's a little different...it's a silent movie/live action cartoon and incredibly entertaining and unique.

I saw it first in Imax in Dallas, and the sound was thunderous. I was thisclose to putting in the pair of Eargasm ear plugs I take to rock concerts. A saw it a few weeks later at a Fort Worth theater when it began to play in conventional movie theaters, and it was so quiet, if I would have asked an employee to crank the volume. (Now that it's streaming, you can play it at any volume.)
