Godzilla vs Kong. Unbelievably stupid and poorly written and acted, but there’s monster punching so
|
East Of Eden. (On TCM right now.)
Damn, Dean had a great screen presence. |
yesterday i think?
american ultra ![]() i wanted a dumb movie but this was actually funny and better than i expected. end credits are the best though! |
also little gem of a film by sydney lumet.
![]() leser known or iconic than 12 angry men or dog day afternoon or serpico or network but still highly enjoyable. saw it many years ago on tv and never forgot it. i finally got to see it complete! loved it ha ha ha. great cast too. his last one too was excellent, "before the devil knows you're dead" . what a director! |
The Return of Swamp Thing
|
Zombeavers
|
Quote:
I saw Love & Monsters yesterday which is new on Netflix If you liked Zombeavers you should watch it. The special effects are Oscar nominated! I'll start Sunday morning with Captain Fantastic. I've already seen it a while ago but then I had missed the very beginning of it. |
I watched the Killing of a Sacred Deer. Such a weird movie.
|
Love & Mercy- Quite enjoyed it.
|
I can't wait for the sequel Love, Mercy and Monsters where Brian Wilson needs to walk from his home to the studio to record his next album in a monster-infested world
|
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof was on the TV the other day. watched that.
|
Once Bitten
|
finally, saw the shape of water
rob's favorite! :D i liked it |
Deadpool 1 & 2
Also saw bits and pieces of The Meg (while channel hopping in between commercial breaks) It's pretty lame but still highly entertaining ;-) |
I watched the Lobster. It was good but there was one scene that fucked me up.

Not exactly a movie per-se, but the 1993 Sam Mendes-directed stage adaptation of Cabaret. The one with Alan Cummings playing Sex manifested in human form.
Not a huge fan of musicals, but Cabaret (which I'm slightly embarassed to admit I've never seen before - in any incarnation) piqued my interest as of late due to its themes and because I heard of its confrontational nature. Downright terrifying and unfortunately still very relevant. Hope to get my hands on the Bob Fosse movie soon. From all the clips I've seen, it goes for a subtler, yet slowly creeping dread that suddenly turns obvious and hard to overlook. Shame on popculture references for portraying it as some silly musical. This is a timeless story, really. And the musical numbers are exhillerating. |

Funeral Parade of Roses
Wow... 1969 movie by a guy who mostly did short movies afterwards, Toshio Matsumoto. Visiually beautiful, free, the director managed to mix quite a few different things and kept the movie coherent a fluent. Whoever has seen A Clockwork Orange (1971) and that one will tell that Kubrick saw and liked the movie. Reading wikipedia would be a bad idea as it centers on a story when said story is just a tiny tiny part of the movie. |

1969 Toshio Matsumoto movie - the guy mostly directed short movies. Visually brilliant, fluent even though it picks here and there, a real beauty. Those who've seen both A Clockwork Orange and this film will agree on that: Kubrick saw the Japanese movie and helped himself twice (even though the atmosphere differs). A plot kinda pops up during the movie, but it is not that necessary. If you read wikipedia you'll be mislead, as it narrows it down to one tiny element, forgetting atmophere, styles, a great black and white and so many other surprises. |

![]() At nearly three hours, it's a bit long winded. The highlight to me were actually the end credits by Saul Bass. Didn't realize the movie was so star studded until those credits. |

The Skeleton Twins — pretty good
500 Days of Summer — kind of bad, actually Game Night — fun and funny as hell |

![]() Horribly annoying movie. Such great actors, well some of them, but such a boring script and dialogues |

Is that the official poster/cover artwork for the movie? If so, then holy shit is it a suck-fest. Someone needs to do their homework on cropping and compositing. Also: Lighting, while we're at it. Some of those actors look like action figures in that clusterfuck of a composition. And Mel Gibson looks like the Dummy from Goosebumps. Which, come to think of it, probably an apt comparison. An eerie antiquated dummy that was likely initially at home on dingy stages, telling racist jokes. If the shoe fits. |

I've heard that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has said if you idolize his character in 500 Days of Summer, you're absolutely not comprehending the movie correctly, or something like that. |
It's a Boy Girl Thing (2006). Body-switching thing between the high school quarterback and the high-achieving girl next door.
Well I loved it. It's light and fluffy and fun. The girl I particularly liked. I've always wondered what it would be like to be the opposite sex. I guess it'll always remain a mystery to me in this life. Holy Triple Post Batman... |
