All the Boys Love Mandy Lane wins the filmed before release category easily...
Stars Amber Heard looking smoking as usual... teen slasher with a twist type film...
Made in 2007, released this year.

Watched what I think is probably the blackest black comedy I've ever seen (and I've seen most of them) last night... "Excision."
I quite enjoyed it, but man... it is BLACK.
Seek it out if you're into that sort of movie and aren't squeamish.

May I ask what you didn't like about Upstream Color, BC?
Arise and walk, come through. A world beyond that door is calling out for you. Arise and walk, come through. It's calling out for you.
It was a surreal experience but I wasn't high when I watched it. Like Spring Breakers, I think that's about the only way I would love that movie. I like at least some semblance of a narrative in my flicks, even ones focused on characters and aesthetics, and just as every reviewer I read admitted, nobody had any idea what was going on in Upstream Color.
It's the same reason I didn't care for Mulholland Drive and haven't pursued David Lynch films any further...

"All is Lost" with Robert Redford playing a role with almost no speaking lines whatsoever... a man's attempt to survive after his sailboat is damaged in the middle of the ocean.
Really enjoyed it, Redford can still carry a film.
Just watched The Last Stand on Netflix. For a dumb action movie, it was surprisingly good. As with every Schwarzenegger movie, nobody questions why a guy who looks like a body builder and has a thick Austrian accent is, in this case, a sheriff in a small Southwestern town.
I haven't seen it but Wolf of Wall Street seems to be turning people off. And DeCaprio and Johah Hill are trying to message the film's message.
I'm a big Scorcese fan but I have no desire to see it.
I will check it out.
I turned on Jack Reacher out of curiosity, just to watch the first few minutes, and ended up watching the whole thing. I'd put it in the sister category of dumb thriller. I don't want to spoil it but, if you are a bit knowledgable about cult directors, you'll get a kick when they reveal the main bad guy for the first time.
