3:10 to Yuma.. 8/10 Genre: Action, Crime, Drama A very satisfying movie filled with action, suspense and outstanding acting showcased by Hollywoods two finest, Christian Bale and Russell Crowe. Storyline was well written, Pacing was good, so was the music. Had a few pardonable plot holes here & there. All in, it was an enjoyable Western Classic if you ask me. 1 Like |

MOVIE FUN FACT The Machinist . Bale gained attention for his devotion to the role and for the lengths to which he went to achieve Reznik’s emaciated, skeletal appearance. For the most part,he only ate salads and apples, chewed gum,smoked cigarettes, and drank nonfat lattes. Bale lost 63 lbs for the role and went from weighing 185lbs to 122lbs. The craziest part out of all of this is Bale was only paid $10,000 for the role. 3 Likes

mekaprime: Fantastic Western that thought me a lesson in principle and true grit. I doff my hat to Bale's character for taking on an impossible task and completing it even if it did cost him his life in the end, and Crowe's character for being principled enough to recognize the unyielding courage of it, and letting and even assisting Bale's character in completing the task. A very heartwarming and simultaneously poignant story about courage, perseverance, honour and 1 Like |

Been a very busy week for me and was only able to see just 1 movie and i unfortunately picked "The Professor"...straight to ratings first solid 4/10. Very forgettable movie to say the least. The synopsis was cliché to say the least and i was banking on the brilliance of Johnny Depp to save it but alas the movie was weird and heading nowhere and i just peeped the RT rating and is at 10%. Btw Johnny depp hasn't been in anything good in recent times dunno if it's the Amber heard's issue. This man is a brilliant actor with immense talent..am fearing that he has already peaked. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 11:55pm On Jul 13, 2019 |
oyaskii: The thing is he's very picky. He mostly pick challenging eccentric roles - with the notable exception of his Jack Sparrow character in PoTC franchise - and, such roles alienate the audience. He has definitely peaked. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 12:04am On Jul 14, 2019 |
KoiceReloaded:Spot on, had my fill of his eccentricity after "The Lone Ranger". Just wanted to see him delve into other roles that i know for sure his talent can measure up to but sadly he can't. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 7:18am On Jul 14, 2019 |
oyaskii: Methinks Depp's too eccentric to delve into a more mainstream role. I mean, look at his lifestyle, his dressing habits, eating habits... the guy practically exudes eccentricity from every pores. He's able to convince in eccentric roles because they are him. He's very talented, no doubt, but he's no Matt McConaughey/Christian Bale. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by AfricanGenius: 7:20am On Jul 14, 2019 |
oyaskii: I think that he was good in Fantastic Beasts; Crimes of Grindelward |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by Nobody: 7:26am On Jul 14, 2019 |
AfricanGenius: Another eccentric role. The point being he has rarely (if ever) taken on a normal role ordinary people can relate to. He's in a rot, and needs to branch out to become relevant again. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by AfricanGenius: 7:29am On Jul 14, 2019 |
KoiceReloaded: I understand your point. I think the word is "typecast". He is always the weird character with a deviant dress-code and idiosyncrasies. 1 Like |

How far are we with the movie WhatsApp group? I really feel that it would be great to have it. I have been a guest reader on this thread for months now. I can't thank everyone here enough for the movie recommendations that I have gotten. |

AfricanGenius: Exactly. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 8:01am On Jul 14, 2019 |
AfricanGenius:Typecast...He should start taking up roles not centered on eccentricity. |

oyaskii:Johnny Depp I guess? His schtick worked from mid to late 2000's. We all tired of it now. When last did he have a hit in a lead role? |

KoiceReloaded:If dude doesn't take time, he'll die young. He still gained weight for his role in Vice. Modifying his body weight like that would have consequences. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by AntiMCU: 8:09am On Jul 14, 2019 |
oyaskii:Correct me if I'm wrong, the last time he took a role in a non-eccentric character from my memory was in Transcedence. That film tanked badly. |
Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by oyaskii(m): 8:12am On Jul 14, 2019 |
AntiMCU:It has been a long while he had an hit. He's always seems out of place when taking up roles where he just has be normal...This man lives for the weird roles and it's monotonous now. |

KoiceReloaded:Kudos, you summed it up perfectly. Also, i loved how the filmmakers added an exhausted element of twisted religious themes & allowed Crowe's character spout Bible quotes one after the other, to tease his foes & justify his actions. Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the LORD weighs the heart.. Proverbs 21:2 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction...Proverbs 13:3... Am planing on seeing Unforgiven(1992) . Another western classic, directed by Clint Eastwood. Are you ware if it's worth it? |

Re: What Movie Are You Watching Now? by AntiMCU: 8:15am On Jul 14, 2019 |
oyaskii:Yep! If I were a friend, I would advice him to leave Hollywood for some time. Rebrand himself and comeback without all that weirdness. |
