zmurko 7,622 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I'll nominate 'The Cider House Rules'. IIRC, this was a decent movie, like 20 years ago. Need to see it again, because I can't remember anything about it, except the title. 3 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/43/#findComment-232869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
omarcomin71 3,900 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Okay, I’d like to nominate ‘Atomic Blonde’. It has everything I love in a movie. Has action, mystery, revenge and of course Charlize Theron. 🙂 This trailer gives me chills. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/43/#findComment-232892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeGreenLegend 4,295 Posted March 10, 2021 Author Share Posted March 10, 2021 And the winner is... @omarcomin71with the genre and film double this month! I've not seen this but I do know it's a super stylish, hyper-violent spy thriller.

LimeGreenLegend 4,295 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 The nominations for the 2021 Oscars were recently announced so I thought I'd put them here, along with my predictions. I was pleased to see a lot of nominations for Sound of Metal, The Father and Promising Young Woman, my favourite films from last year. I've not included the short categories because I've not seen any of them. My predictions are in bold. Best Picture The Father Judas and the Black Messiah Mank Minari Nomadland Promising Young Woman Sound of Metal The Trial of the Chicago 7 Best Director Thomas Vinterberg (Another Round) David Fincher (Mank) Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) Chloé Zhao (Nomadland) Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman) Best Actor in a Leading RoleRiz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) Anthony Hopkins (The Father) Gary Oldman (Mank) Steven Yeun (Minari) Best Actress in a Leading Role Viola Davis (Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom) Andra Day (The United States v. Billie Holiday) Vanessa Kirby (Pieces of a Woman) Frances McDormand (Nomadland) Carey Mulligan (Promising Young Woman) Best Actor in a Supporting Role Sacha Baron Cohen (The Trial of the Chicago 7) Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) Leslie Odom Jr. (One Night in Miami) Paul Raci (Sound of Metal) Lakeith Stanfield (Judas and the Black Messiah) Best Actress in a Supporting Role Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm) Glenn Close (Hillbilly Elegy) Olivia Colman (The Father) Amanda Seyfried (Mank) Yuh-jung Youn (Minari) Best Animated Feature Film Onward Over the Moon A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon Soul Wolfwalkers Best Adapted Screenplay Borat Subsequent Moviefilm The Father Nomadland One Night in Miami The White Tiger Best Original Screenplay Judas and the Black Messiah Minari Promising Young Woman Sound of Metal The Trial of the Chicago 7 Best Original Song “Fight for You,” (Judas and the Black Messiah) “Hear My Voice,” (The Trial of the Chicago 7) “Húsavík,” (Eurovision Song Contest) “Io Si (Seen),” (The Life Ahead) “Speak Now,” (One Night in Miami) Best Original Score Da 5 Bloods - Terence Blanchard Mank - Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross Minari - Emile Mosseri News of the World - James Newton Howard Soul - Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Jon Batiste Best Sound Greyhound Mank News of the World Soul Sound of Metal Best Costume Design Emma Mank Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Mulan Pinocchio Best Cinematography Judas and the Black Messiah Mank News of the World Nomadland The Trial of the Chicago 7 Best Documentary Feature Collective Crip Camp The Mole Agent My Octopus Teacher Time Best Film Editing The Father Nomadland Promising Young Woman Sound of Metal The Trial of the Chicago 7 Best International Feature FilmAnother Round Better Days Collective The Man Who Sold His Skin Quo Vadis, Aida? Best Makeup and Hairstyling Emma Hillbilly Elegy Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Mank Pinocchio Best Production Design The Father Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom Mank News of the World Tenet Best Visual Effects Love and Monsters The Midnight Sky Mulan The One and Only Ivan Tenet I've gone with my heart with a lot of these predictions as this is a lot less predicable as last year's awards. @Conwanna do the same as last year, winner chooses a film for the loser to review?

LimeGreenLegend 4,295 Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 With the Oscars happening on the 25th of April it's time once again for the film club to honour the little gold, bald man. We've already done best picture and best actor winning films, so this year I was going to spin for the remaining big categories, Best director Best actress Best supporting actor Best supporting actress Best screenplay (both categories) If anyone wants me to throw in any other Oscar category the post it here and I'll add it to the mix. I'll spin for the winner on Friday, so you got a couple of days to let me know 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/43/#findComment-233298 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeGreenLegend 4,295 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 Since I have work the next couple of nights I spun early in case I forgot 😄 The winning category for April's Oscar extravaganza is... Now it's time to nominate any film that won the Oscar for Best Director. The winner will be picked on Sunday. I'll kick things off by nominating the most recent winner of the award, b*ng Joon-ho and his film Parasite, one of the best films I've ever seen. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/43/#findComment-233324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurf 948 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Parasite, never heard of it. I was here wondering why I don't even touch the TV to watch anything anymore as the last vivid movie I can recall was 300 when my DVD Player was the $h!+. Reminiscing about the old days when I was happy just to come home turn the TV on & kick my feet up. Then I did a little TV Land Soul Searching only to find out Clint's 90, Pacino 77, De Niro is the same, Caddyshack was released months shy of 41 years ago & all the good tv channels have their own special subscription fee to watch shows I don't relate to. Jesus! I guess the mystery is solved. Those old guys are probably kicking it at home with the grand kids or chasing tail at a retirement home or HOA retirement community, we sometimes forget that time moves on as actors & actresses rotate out of Hollywood & transition into other interests, while we are still there waiting for their next action pack movie to get released believing they are on a hiatus. I'm glad you guys keep the Film Club going even though I am not searching through it often, but every now & again it guides me to a few movies within a genre I long forgot about or missed back when it released.

That's why I love finding new young directors and actors. It makes films feel fresh and it's always exciting when they get recognition and wider appeal. Promising Young Woman and Sound of Metal are both films by first timers and I'm so glad that they're getting a lot of awards nominations right now. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/43/#findComment-233405 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeGreenLegend 4,295 Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 It was a close call @Con but in the end I came out on top 10-9! You absolutely crushed the acting awards but I made it up with the technical awards. Between us we're pretty good at predicting this sh*t! As for the film I would like you to review, you'll be thankful that it's not a musical 😄 You may actually like this, it's by Lars von Trier, whose film The House that Jack Built I recall you enjoying, and it stars Willem Dafoe, who I know you are a fan of. I want you to watch this for a specific scene, which I won't even hint at, but you'll know it when it happens. I have reviewed this somewhere on the site, so you may already know what I'm talking about, but you have to see it to believe it. I would like you to review 2009's Antichrist. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/16729-rsc-film-club/page/43/#findComment-233739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
