Author Topic: Knives Out (2019) Mitchell Dvoskin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1869 From: West Milford, NJ, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 12-23-2019 05:25 PM                     Rich mystery author is murdered on the night of his 85th birthday. While the family is squabbling over the will, the police and and a private detective are trying to figure out who did it. Very enjoyable modern take on those old 1930 mysteries where the private detective gather all the suspects together at the end to reveal who did it. It was strange hearing Danial Craig with a Kentucky accent, but he does a great job. I saw it at the brand new Cinemark Willowbrook Theatre. If Picture and sound were perfect. If only they had screen masking, this would be my new favorite theatre here in NJ.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 12-23-2019 06:33 PM                        My daughter and I went just after it released. The theatre was showing it in 'scope, which lopped off many of the actors from the forehead up. We went to the manager, who said the movie was "made that way". Got a refund and went to an AMC a few days later. Hadn't been to the local one in many years but enjoyed their new recliners. Also no masking, but good sound and could see the whole actors' faces! Was also put off initially by the accent, but either it got less pronounced as the movie played out or we just forgot about it. Otherwise, it was a fun show.  |  IP: Logged Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 12-23-2019 07:00 PM                     This happens a lot. It drives me crazy. I don't understand why it's so hard to project a movie in its proper aspect ratio.  |  IP: Logged
