The arm scene is where the movie peaks.

Was that before or after the girl gets turned into a giant hunk of ice? Because I liked that part.

Film had some decent Cronenberg-ian stuff going on, but that's about it.

Election (1999) - 4.5/5

This movie is fucking amazing.
I HAVE FINALLY SEEN EVERY MOVIE WITH MATTHEW BRODERICK IN IT, HAH! EAT IT!
Seriously though, I really enjoyed this movie. Reese Withoutherspoon was pretty great too.

Next up: Death Note, the movie.

Lady Bird - 5/5
Great film. Simple, relatable story and terrific acting from Saorsie Ronan.

Thee Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - 3/5
Didn't like it nearly as much as I thought I would from the trailer. The movie just brings up a ton of issues, and barely addresses any, it just plods along being semi interesting.
Frances McDormand rules.

The Disaster Artist - 4/5
James Franco (yuck) actually does a great job pulling off a near flawless Tommy Wiseau impression. I feel reading the book before watching the movie got in the way of the fun a bit, and I was constantly wondering why they changed a few things. Still a good movie, though.

Would you say that Thee Billboards was trying to be a Coen piece?

I've only half-seen a trailer, but it did at least very superficially raise that suspicion.

In a way it does feel like a weird mish-mash of Fargo and No Country For Old Men.

But it's never as entertaining or interesting as either of those.

Can't believe I was lazy enough to copy and paste, inadvertently inheriting your terrible mistake through inattention / unwarranted trust.

Shame on both of us, but mostly you.

Jeepers Creepers​ 3 - 4/10

Not as effective as the first two; child molesting director Victor Salva doesn't bring the creepy atmosphere for this long overdue third installment. But on the other hand, there aren't​ any​ scenes of young boys urinating so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I still think the idea of an ageless composite human/monster spending 45mins lined up at the DMV to register personalized number plates is the most ridiculous thing to have ever implied in a horror movie.

Sounds like Kevin Smith's permanent hockey jersey might need one of those medical alert buttons installed.

Frances Ha was like Felicity on steroids and I have had to restrain myself to stop myself from watching it repeatedly.

Plane viewing: Singapore - Brisbane, (flight duration 7.5 hours).

Murder on the Orient Express - C. Was looking for brainless blockbuster entertainment with this. Willem Dafoe, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench join the cast of a classic franchise with an experienced thespian at the helm, and the movie is still just OK? Kenneth Branagh needs fifty lashes, hand me the cane

The Shape of Water - A-. I have a soft spot for Guillermo del Toro. I probably rate Hellboy at B+. Some of this, like his other work, is a bit clumsy. But the moments he gets it right, nobody else can replicate. I love his style. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, eh. I didn't pay for a ticket so couldn't feel satisfied with the price, but in terms of the investment I made by remaining awake on a fucking airplane seated between my two listless children I feel happy with what I received back.

I didn't get that vibe from it at all. It felt pretty genuine for a coming of age story of a lower middle class woman.
It could do with a bit more diversity but just seeing a film made by a woman director about a woman character that isn't defined by the men around her was refreshing.

I wanted to like Mother! so much that I think that's why I ended up not liking it, take that to mean what you want.

I think if I revisit it in another 6-8 years, I might appreciate it.

I typically don't like Aronofsky movies, aside from Black Swan.
Not even sure what to expect of this, heard some people saying it's awful and some people saying it's excelent.

Aronofsky is soo hit or miss for me, but my 17 year old film-geek self will always give him a pass for Requiem for a Dream.

And yes, I realize Requiem is probably considered trash at this point, but in 2000 and at the age of 17, I really dug the hell out of it. Right place, right time and all that.

Actually, it was 2001. The year, not the movie. Although I do love that movie, much moreso than anything Aronofsky ever made.

Anyone wanna talk about 2001?

RFAD is great. The fact that it's considered trash now is very baffling, tbh. The movie struck a bit of an emotional chord for me, although I fucking hate Jared Leto. The only good thing he has and will ever do would have been RFAD. I haven't seen Blade Runner 2049 yet, so hopefully he doesn't screw that up for me either.
