It's nice to finally see after at least 50 years of maybe not always great but certainly creative and effervescent quebec cinema (it started in the 40s but took a while to get really going) some local talent finally having international careers (there's sorta been Denys Arcand before but fuck him and his boomer films, he's a twat). Both Jean-Marc Vallee and Denis villeneuve have been known names here since the 90's but they only in recent years finally took off elsewhere and so far they keep making pretty good films (though in vallee's case, his early output wasn't exactly quality...his first did good box office here, but it's a pretty corny thriller) . I remember Villeneuve at 20 something in 1990 from this tv show where they had college kids travel around the world and shoot one short doc a week. And now he's making the Blade Runner sequel (which i'm actually not happy about but that's another thing) |

I don't think you'd ever need to see any bond movie before another.
But I would recommend you do watch skyfall first because it's good and one other reason I can't get into. |

I'll watch any superhero film at least once because im a comics nerd....i made it through like 30 mins of the latest Fantastic Four and thought maybe id resume it some other time and then didn't. I mean ffs i sat through the Corman one! (not really saying it's better than this one though...) Now i was never that much a fan of FF in comics...but there's no doubt they've been badly handled in movies so far. Though i called that this one would be a disaster from the very first info they gave about it. Just the cast alone... and like the latest spidey films it was only made to keep the movie rights.
And for fuck sake i kinda had a crush of Sue Storm as a teen and they cast Jessica Alba in the earlier films now Kate mara....two of my most hated actresses.... the character really isn't getting a fair shake. |

I watched Nightcrawler. It was good enough though the news media obsession with violence and shocking images critique aspect seems a bit.... old fashioned? i mean do people even still care? They made these movies in the 70's and 80's....i thought people were kinda fine with that now. anyway Gyllenhaal did the sociopathic fake nice thing really well. The too eager smile and eye contact...

Didn't they make it so "it's clobberin' time" became the line Ben Grimm's father would say before he'd beat him? Someone who gets paid to write things thought that this would help make a serious, brooding movie out of something called "Fantastic Four."

Silent Hill: Revelation 3d - 1/5
I knew it'd be pretty bad, and it delivered. I confess to enjoying some parts of the first Silent Hill (there were some interesting visuals there), but this one has zero redeeming qualities. |

I watched Nymphomaniac: Vol. 1, last night.
Wow, basically. I'm still kind of processing it, but it was definitely captivating and I'll probably slot in the second part at some point in the very near future. My biggest complaint would have to be the use of that Rammstein song, which was totally out of place and only harmed an otherwise immaculate opening. Anybody else seen it? |

We watched Love by Gaspar Noé yesterday, the guy who also made Irréversible. The very first shot is unsimulated oral sex. But it captured the beautiful awkwardness of real intimacy remarkably well, I was honestly impressed.

saw Boogie Nights for the first time last week.
Kind of like PTA's version of Pulp Fiction. The second act really hits hard. The scene with Alfred Molina... wow. Amazing |

Swearnet 4/10
Huge TPB fan but found this disappointing. Only one laugh out loud moment for me: When Swearman was doing Sweareoke: "hit me with your big cock! C'mon hit me with your big cock. Hit me with your big cock; and I'm not even gayyyyyy!!!" |

ChiRaq - Knew going in that was going to be a typical Spike Lee joint. Absurdist, dramatic, real talk, and sometimes laugh out loud funny (i chuckled at the Gloria Steinem reference). The premise was atrocious. Spike can be a little out of touch, respectability politics did come up half-baked. Preachy, of course. Goofy "dudes just need to get laid" is dumb and offensive (yes i understand the greek play it's based on). I did like the lyrical flow of the dialogue and I'll be goddamned if i didn't start to feel a lump in my throat over Jennifer Hudson's agony over her slain daughter. Two hour long genital joke.
Opening shots of Chicago were cool to see, having spent considerable vacation time there; I'm actually doing my annual trip in less than two weeks. |

Oh and we also saw Spotlight. Loved it, love that kind of behind the scenes of a scandal/journalist type movie.
We bought both movie tix at the same time but realized we could easily walked into Spotlight. oh well. |

watched Cropsey on Netflix. I give it a B. they did a good job of creating a narrative out of the urban myth. But they also did a shit job of actual journalism and investigation. For instance, there's a point in the film where they show one person after another claiming that Staten Island is filled with satanists that practice ritual sacrifice. But there's no evidence for that. Not in Staten Island and not anywhere else in the US. But the film makers don't mention that back in the 80s when the murders discussed in the film happened there was a satanism scare going on. There were people all over the country being accused of murders in the name of Satanism. But none of it was true. It was all just mass hysteria. IMO these filmakers cared more about creating a creepy narrative than actually fact checking the murder cases they built the film around. it is engrossing and entertaining, though. |
