All Things Movie/Documentary Reviews/Recommendations Thread

At random a little while back came across some interviews by Rich Eisen with actors. Originally was mostly Seinfeld related with a lot of great backstories to the show. Have since been binge watching a lot of these type of interviews.

I’m a big Kevin Pollock fan, came across this podcast interview from a few months ago that’s great. He’s a great interview and has a lot of awesome stories about some of the films he’s been in. I especially liked the part about The Usual Suspects.

Great listen...he said 90% of his lines in Usual Suspects were ad-libbed.

"What the fuck did he just say?" was actually Pollack asking the director because he wasn't aware that Benicio was supposed to mumble the line.

My favorite:

Interogator: "I can put you in Queens on the night of the hijacking."

Hockney: "Really? I live in Queens. Did you put that together yourself, Einstein?"
 


Watched The Rip that just came out on Netflix. Affleck/Damon. Not a good movie. Might be even worse than that one Hardy put out on Netflix, Havoc.
 





I have seen 6 of the 10 films, and hope to see the other 4 prior to the Awards, as they seem worth the effort at least.

Here is how I would rank them:

One Battle After Another
Sentimental Value
Hamnet
F1
Bugonia
Marty Supreme


Pending:

Frankenstein
The Secret Agent
Sinners
Train Dreams
Have watched (no ranking)
One Battle After Another
F1
Bugonia
Marty Supreme
Frankenstein
Sinners
I did really like Frankenstein.
 

Cocaine Quarterback on Prime is interesting. True story of a former USC football and volleyball player who gets into drug smuggling and money laundering for the Sineola Cartel. 3 episodes
We finally watched this. I hope the guy stays out of trouble after getting a second chance but I'm not very confident that will happen. What a story.
