11 posts from 02 to 24 October 2021.

  • Uma Vida à Espera

    Slow moving drama that flares up in the last minutes. Bait-and-switch until the very last second.

  • Dune

    Lord of the Sands. One Shai-Hulud to rule them all, one Lisan al-Gaib to bind them.

  • France

    An untranslatable avant-garde look at French mainstream society, Virgil-ed by a pop TV presenter. Brilliant, nobody ever done this before, magnificent.

  • Sombra

    Boyhood, without the boy. Burn my shadow away…

  • Color Out of Space

    Lovecraftian The Thing, with added Nic Cage. The black dude doesn’t even die, eat shit Lovecraft!

  • The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

    I just wanted a film to turn off my brain, and the cast was amazing, but the credits turned me off from the whole thing. A Guy Ritchie Watchmen wannabe, produced by Steve Mnuchin? It’s like watching a po-faced Austin Powers.

  • Logan Lucky

    Ocean’s Seven Eleven. ‘em hicks sure ain’t no fools. It would help if Corrections Corporation of America wasn’t a human soul grinder.

  • Titane

    Violenté par une voiture. A more French version of mother!, and also Christine and Cronenberg’s Crash (not Crash).

  • The Girl on the Train

    Come Back Girl, she’s not gone in the end.

  • Bone Tomahawk

    Event Horizon: Western Edition. It’s both a nice western and a reasonable body horror flick, with plenty of humour (you wouldn’t want things to get dreary, would you?).

  • Groundhog Day

    Purgatory is a small town celebrating an inane “festival”. What a depressing and miserable existence. No wonder our sophisticated hero commits suicide so many times.
