A subdued thriller, filled with moral ambiguities that muddle the water so much, it almost ruins the characters. It’s pretty, but could have used a bit more dialogue.
-
Misery loves company, I’m talking about the sow specifically. Kathy Bates is simply incredible, better than that other film with JJ Abrams swearing.
-
I’m pretty sure this started with some The Thing fan scrolled Facebook and ended up on one of those couple accounts, and just took to the next level.
-
This is bog standard copaganda, aping NYPD Blue, or one of the Bellisario shows, without the grit. But it’s written by a local former cop (or something), there’s opportunity for unintended comedy.
-
Oh my, is this a roman à cléf? Channing Tatum is clearly Epstein, and Geena Davis is Ghislane Maxwell. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.
-
Seeing this now feels like unearthing the Tutankhamun’s sarcophagus, it’s so removed from the current reality, from all sides. But it even works as a pure drama, coming back home to meet the parents packs some extremely emotional punches.
-
Can’t believe males claiming they can beat Serena Williams is over 50 years old. Another American centrist film where the real deal is the middle ground between equality and bigotry. Just demanding equality is radical, trust the process.
-
I can see why this was less popular, it’s less focus on the mythos dross, leaning more and more into the morality tale.
-
Nhe, now Gordon from the first film survived? And the opening is a public saw-off with a big boobed girl being cut in half by the two boys she is two timing. Back to crapitude.
-
Very well, killing a Nazi with Totenkopft tatoos in the cold open, you have my attention. Not very inventive, but OK, I’ll take antifa propaganda from anyone. Then it’s Saw II again, a bunch of people hating together, for a few minutes.
-
Ok, so Jigsaw is actually dead for real, they start with an autopsy just to prove there’s no retcons up their sleeve. Is that motherfucking male frontal nudity I see? In my mainstream horror?
-
James Gunn does one for the money, this is much less interesting than the last time.
-
Another bona fide Western, in the modern sense of end of an era, always a bunch of older grizzled veterans realising it was the bitter enemies they did along the way that gnaw away at your soul, even all that prime real estate is not worth it.
-
This inherits the same problems from Fincher’s film, and adds new ones. The cast gets better because they lost budget, so they get the best European actors to cameo, plus Lakeith Stansfield as NSA Seal Team 6.
-
This is the quintessential American film, counter culture but the cop is the hero, protagonist-centred morality, due process is a wash when confronted with a square-jawed white rich guy.
-
Is this… a PG-13 sex thriller? A contradiction in terms, only American hypocrisy can sustain this irony. It’s actually a remake of some Dutch film, hopefully with actual skin, you wouldn’t want things to get dreary, would you?.
-
A pointless origin story for a Maniac with chainsaw and human skin face mask. Stop trying to make empathise with Ed Gein!
-
A much more raw and gritty version of Brick, without the trapings of high school, just economically depressed outer suburbs. There’s a legit sub-plot about marriage across minority lines, and ironic far-right rants by the very same Others, with fairer skin.
-
Wait, this is about a weird mix of Iran and Egypt (because all ancient civilisations are Egypt), filtered through a Christianizing machine that is modern superhero films.
-
This is even better than the last one, you got four titans duking it out in the acting department. Maybe I’m the shmuck for never having seen any Streisand film. Licorice Pizza coming up.
-
The one following The Ring plot. With Kevin Hart at his regular.
-
This reversed “remake” of Father of the Bride is much better than that. It truly is hilarious, but not in a shallow way, it has more depth in most of its characters.
