Sooo, we will have two movies this month... The first winner will be selected by popular vote and the second one will be personally selected by me depending on the summary of the plot and what I feel I'll like the most.

Happy voting!

It's not "Dark Horses: Bound" it's just "Bound". I was saying it WAS a dark horse (along with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) because I didn't expect them to win; Bound, especially, is (I believe) a pretty under-the-radar movie. But I wanted to throw it up to see if maybe it's not quite as unknown/overlooked as I suspect.

Eric

ALSO: selected by you "depending on the summary of the plot." Are you getting that from IMDb? Or did you want us to give you a spoiler-free summary of our choices? Because... I'm not sure the plot would be spoiled by looking at "Se7en" on imdb but *something* would be spoiled, potentially...

You are free to give me your review/summary :)

"Walk Hard" THE music biopic from which all other music biopics have stolen, before and after. The rise and fall and rise again of Dewey Cox, a talented, charismatic, troubled musician whose fame intertwines with other famous musicians like Elvis Pressley, Neil Young, and The Beatles... and he outshines them all. "Se7en" David Fincher's noir thriller, an iconic movie with an iconic line... talented cast (Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, among others), a very Gotham-esque feel to the city... David Mills transfers to the city, thinking he can do some good, and is partnered with Somerset, a cynical, world-weary cop on the verge of retirement. (Clearly a big influence on season 1 of True Detective.) "Bound" another noir, this one an early Wachowski joint. (Written and directed by.) Jennifer Tilly plays Violet, the girlfriend of Caesar (played by Joey Pants, an actor I'm sure you'll be shocked to see in a Wachowski project), who works for the mob. She ensnares Corky (Gina Gershon) in a plan to steal millions from the mob, and seemingly intends to frame Caesar for it... but is she playing straight with Corky, or is she setting up Corky for the fall?

I'd like to just go ahead and suggest that you try to fit Clerks 3 this month regardless of the poll result. We had quite the time with the first 2 and with you being able to get 2 movie reactions in this month now would be a good a time as any to finish the trilogy. 🙂👍

I'd also like to go ahead and highly recommend Dirty Work. Mainly because I remember that during the third episode of Harley Quinn when Harley asks her newly formed crew how they feel about petty, personal vendettas and you enthusiastically stated that you love them. Dirty Work is pretty much "Petty Personal Vendettas: The Movie" in a nice, tight 82 minutes of classic 90s comedy cinema. Fanboys also would very well be worth fitting into your reaction schedule this month because if I got the right read on things you're at least a bit of a Star Wars enjoyer, you seem to get on well enough with road trip movies and it takes place in the 90s ergo it does have that 90s comedy vibe. Also more Kristen Bell on the schedule is a win win!😉👍

I was wandering what happened to that title. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Bound but I loved it.

Eric

I re-read my "Walk Hard" synopsis, and... I failed to convey why it's good, so: it's very fun and hilariously funny. John C Reilly is incredible, he carries the movie even though it's a crazy deep cast - Tim Meadows, Chris Parnell, Kristen Wiig, John Michael Higgins, either Amy Adams or Jenna Fischer... ... and I don't want to give away too much, but: Jack Black as Paul McCartney, Justin Long as George Harrison, Paul Rudd as John Lennon, and Jason Schwartzman as Ringo Starr.
