Repo Man. I had forgotten how funny it is. Lots of great quotes.
Finally, The menu. Liked it, which is unusual since I’m very critical and have high standards.
Josie and The Pussycats(2001)
Watched this one for the first time last night. Weird flick. I appreciated some of the satire but the jokes just were mostly just goofball. Interesting commentary on commercialism just could’ve been a lot funnier.
The Brutalist! I enjoyed it, and it didn’t feel like 3.5 hrs. I’d recommend watching it at a theater for sure. Thought it was a real story until I looked it up LOL
Slumber Party Massacre, the original, and I can see why it got a remake. B tier or maybe even C tier 80’s horror
A Quiet Place: Day One. Actually really good: big step up from the second movie.
Jeez, there’s 3 now?
I guess I am in the minority but I still fail to see why anyone would be excited for a sequel to the original. I watched it and it was fine but there were no unanswered questions or character threads that needed more development on screen. The monster gimmick worked well once but got old quite quickly. It amazes me that this ever became a series in the first place. It seemed like a perfect example of a solid, one-off science fiction/horror film.
Yes. That’s not shocking for a 7 year old film series.
I watched Robert Egger’s Nosferatu. It was good, not as good as The Witch or The Lighthouse IMO, but still good.
It’s more conventional than those films, I guess because it’s a more direct adaptation of an existing story. I think whether you prefer it probably has some connection to how much you enjoy his direction. He seems to have more free reign when he is directing for something he has written himself, which leads to more experimentation. For the record, I agree with you - there were elements of Nosferatu that were outstanding but as a whole those other films you mentioned are superior.
The Naked Gun
The Death of Stalin seeing Iannuci’s name attached in the opening credits told me everything that I was in for, really.
Not sure quite how historically accurate it is, but nothing overly glaring on a casual watch.
Dark fun, although perhaps a little too glib in one or two places. Be interested to know how it meshes with the lived experiences of people under Stalin.
I’ll never forget opening this one up without looking up anything and thinking it was going to be a historical drama lmao
