Ashleigh has historically kind of liked schmaltz.

2022-06-06 18:39:32 +0000 UTCOkay, once I got the synching sorted that was fun. It maybe a generational thing, but moments in movies like the Spider sequence are sometimes what makes a film for me. It informs on a character, for me, up until this point I knew Pesci's character was violent but I still sort of liked him. Now this shows him completely off the rails and unhinged and my opinion changes. I also like quiet moments in films, where the film is given time to breath. I miss this most in a lot of more modern films where your just linking action set pieces together.

2022-06-06 16:38:32 +0000 UTCWhy Field of Dreams? It’s pure schmaltz.

2022-06-06 12:17:44 +0000 UTCI think gangster movies may just not be Ashleigh’s bag, which is totally ok. They’re not for everyone. I loved the reaction, and she seemed to have a reasonably good time anyway. I think she’ll like Field of Dreams a lot more, that’s a potential tearjerker.

2022-06-06 03:46:45 +0000 UTCOther Martin Scorsese movies you should check out are Casino and The Wolf of Wall Street. but if you didn't enjoy GoodFellas very much you probably won't enjoy Casino either. It has Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci along with Sharon Stone in the performance of her life. I think you saw her in Total Recall.

2022-06-06 02:27:50 +0000 UTCGah, another synching issue, I can't work out what speed to play the reaction to keep it synched with the movie. But worth persevering

2022-06-05 23:29:28 +0000 UTCI’ve never seen a lower score to this movie before this. Interesting. But was a fun reaction regardless.

2022-06-05 21:47:19 +0000 UTCYou're right, Robert DeNiro was such a young lad here, a spry 47 years old!
