Upgrade - 3/5
I really liked the concept in general and wish they did more than just a very straight forward revenge action film. Also, I Predicted the twist pretty early on in the movie. |
pauline & paulette: good stuff. fun to watch again.
welp: ok. one of those movies where they're in a forest and then everyone dies. d'ardennen: ok-ish. not all that great, but i don't regret watching it. story about two brothers where one of them ends up going to jail for a crime they both had a part in, and the other one starts seeing his brother's girlfriend... and then the brother is released from jail. bit of crazies, bit of violence, bit of murder. could have been better. de rouille et d'os: very good. father and little boy move to the south of france, to live with the aunt. father is still a little child, basically, but it makes for a beautiful movie. someone's legs are lost because of orca. de president: shite dutch comedy, where an illegal refugee somehow becomes the president of the netherlands. i can't believe i watched the whole thing. iedereen beroemd!: another comedy. entertaining enough, but not very good. plot doesn't make a lot of sense. |
Axolotl Overkill - 4/5
I have no idea what I just watched, this movieis weird af. But at the same time really magnetic and entertaining throughout. The Penguin scene was the fuccn best. |
Ready Player One - B+
Leary of any film my kids saw first and told me I had to see it, I reluctantly gave into Steven Spielberg's latest CGI vomitorium. It only took about 45 minutes to get over my own pretenses to enjoy the ride of a rather well-made Tron-meets-It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. A lot has already been said of the hundreds of 80s pop culture references that creates the fabric of the film, but what is interesting to me is the prediction that 2040 nerd culture will fetishise the 80s and 90s; people do that now with 60s and 70s, so why not? But anyways, if you strip all the dumb references away (many self-serving for Spielberg himself), the movie still stands on it's own. Not bad. Inglourious Basterds - B- Standard Quentin Tarantino period piece that predictably genre-benders -- in this case a Spaghetti Western that takes place in WWII. The only thing really new for Tarantino here is a goofy Brad Pitt who straddles charming and obnoxious. The rest is predictable for him: chapter subdivisions; time jumps and erratic cuts; anachronistic soundtrack; villains immensely more interesting and developed than heroes; all the interesting characters are killed halfway through the film anyways. And of course, the one thing that has bothered me since it was pointed out to me 20 years ago-- every fucking character speaks as if they were Quentin Tarantino himself. Is this vanity? Or does he not realize he's doing this? Regardless, high marks for literally scalping Nazis; not too high of marks for his typical non-ending that, this time around, is rather infuriating. |

hereditary b+
i enjoyed this and might rank it higher with time, but i had a couple issues with it on first viewing. i love that it's a hollywood horror that relies on atmosphere rather than a cgi monster running around. not too many jumpscares. vibe reminded me of zulawski's possession, but with shades of the (original) wicker man. |

Tusks - 2.5/5 Crazy dude turns Justin Long into a walrus named Mr. Tusks. It was pretty screwed up. Ending sucked.
Okja - 5/5 Genetically created "super pigs" that were distributed to various farmers around the world to raise. Girl raises this super pig and then they take it back - she fights to get Okja back leaving S.Korea to America. Really good all the way through. Highly Recommend. |
yeah everyone should watch okja. and the breadwinner.
|
you're father is a breadwinner.
*eagerly awaits frantic laughter* |
oh great now this post opened a new page. i just can't catch a fuckin break
|
not for me. i'm still on page 150.

A Quiet Place - this was some real stupid shit, I mean full retard plot. But mixed with some great acting and emotional truth about families and familial attachment, and communication and desperation. I’m gonna say a B-, for the things Krasinksi did right. If the story had been anything other than a pile of half baked undigested turds, this could have been really interesting. But I spent half the movie just going “Wait, what?” and that ruins anything for me.
Plus, the shit written on the whiteboard as an exposition device I mean, this is not a procedural crime show here, don’t bring that shit into monster movies. Tried and true device in this setting is crazy nerd consulting an ancient tome. If you’re gonna give us some incredible and barely conceived villain, you at least have to follow the trope enough to make it satisfying in other ways. I want my crazy nerd talking excitedly and revealing key information, and I want them now. I’m not sure if he meant for the whiteboard to be a joke, or not. If not, this guy needs help with the next film. Hopefully there’s another Krasinksi brother who balance John out, because I feel like he’s halfway there. But for now, as a horror fan, I say a B-. |

Hereditary B+
Was really creeped out by this, though it sort of unravelled a bit by the end. I wish the plot had been a little more intentional. But mixing the terror of grief with the creepiness of haunting was really effective I thought. |
yeah i just watched that the other day and it creeped me out when the mom was hovering up by the ceiling near the end.
