Just checked out Nightmare Alley on HBO...directed by Guillermo del Toro (Pans Labyrinth).

I actually watched the whole thing....which is a rarity. Kind of low key creepy...acting was good....great art design as expected.

Reminder that this drops today. I plan on popping some edibles and loading up on munchies.

Could go Pete Tong, but looks like a bit of rollicking fun.

Has anyone seen the Elvis movie? What'd you think?
[Reply]

I wondered the same thing when I saw this was bumped.

While it looks interesting and I do want to see it, I'm not a huge Elvis fan. I don't really think it's theater worthy.

Same, but the few people I've caught reviewing it have said it's pretty well amazing.

It really takes a lot to get me to pony up theater money these days. Shit's just way too expensive. There was a time when I'd go to two or three movies a month. Now it's more like two or three a year.

Haven't seen the Elvis movie yet but be warned its directed by that spaz that directed Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby. All of which were so over the top annoying to the point they all gave me a huge headache. I'm most certain the Elvis movie will be more of the same.

Want to see "Elvis" as well!

"Top Gun Maverick" - lives up to the hype 10/10

Saw "Uncharted" It was worth the watch IMO, but I loved the game series so had to see - 6/10

The Black Phone...not the best ever but would definitely give my recommendation for it. Solid 7.5 out of 10 on it.

I saw House of Gucci last night. It was pretty entertaining if you could look past their annoying accents. There was an amazing sex scene with Lady Gaga, last chance to see her in action before she destroyed those lips.

Don't know how the movie will be, but man DO'R has assembled an all-star cast.

Wondered if all-star cast even existed as a concept anymore.

So very, very, very here for this

Elvis is interesting. I enjoyed it. You can definitely tell it was Baz Luhrman. Its not a full retelling of the life of Elvis, more the relationship between he and Colonel Tom. But Elvis' influences are fleshed out.

As someone who grew up in an Elvis house, it put a smile on my face to hear those songs paired with a great performance from Austin Butler.

I would say if you're alright with Elvis but don't like Baz Luhrman's style, it isn't a movie that will have been better on the big screen, but if you love Elvis, I would think you will like it no matter what.

If the trailer is an indication, this looks to be old-school high-quality popcorn cinema.

Retreading some tropes, forging some new ground, and carried by performances.

Gives the vibe of having some of the intangibles that separate things like Silence of the Lambs and True Detective from run-of-the-mill crime thriller fare.
