Is this a secular Left Behind film, where Rapture is COVID, but sanded down of any unwoke bits With real actors, why? Why would you do this, Margaret?
-
As an homage to Dolly Parton, working class hero filled with nobless oblige, I saw this film, where her arc is turning into a capitalist, exploiting the labour of others.
-
Still the best Indiana Jones film by far, including all the Spielberg ones, Tomb Raider, Uncharted, The Mummy even. Accept no substitutes for Rachel Weisz’s hot librarian, she is bound to make me hot and bothered.
-
This is much better than the first one, it tones down the softcore porn elements, but it replaces it with generic action film tropes and bare bones characters. The villain is a generic baddie and the dialog sucks.
-
Softcore Porn with an excuse plot based on low-rent conspiratorial James Bond, with just the bare minimum amount of tomb raiding to be considered an Indiana Jones inspiration.
-
A nice melodrama with some music tying it up. It’s an effects driven showcase for Audrey II, and it’s a doozy. Taking a quarter from the register and making the phone call is absolutely brilliant. That and the comedic cameos. Worth it for those alone.
-
God, this is bad, one of those pointless legacy sequels that promise to change things up, and then the final five minutes reset everything back to the start. It’s not as bad as Psycho, though.
-
This is extremely stylish, like Baby Driver, but emotionally hollow. Fighting with ex boyfriends for the hand of a nominally independent woman doesn’t totally gel with the plot, it’s ludo-narrative dissonance.
-
It’s not as technically impressive as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, but more than makes up for it with the Lina plot, and the freaking vaudeville. It’s like that initial scene in King Kong, stretched to insanely cool levels.
-
A kind of low-rent The Thomas Crown Affair with less chemistry between the leads, probably due to the egregious age difference. Seriously, he’s lusting over her ass crossing the lasers, like he was drooling over his granddaughter.
-
Still one of the best children’s movies of the whole bunch, including Pixar stuff. Parental bonuses up the wazoo, funny, poignant, and British. There’a even a Greek choir made of slugs.
-
Holy shit, this is even worse than the first one, which was already crap.
-
What the fuck is that ending, spooked by The Nun? Hays Code morality strikes again. And the friendzone girl is also evicted from the film unceremoniously.
-
This is a beautiful family drama swan, stuck in a body of a mediocre horror duckling.
-
Move over, Die Hard, we have a new stupid Christmas film! Move over, Red Dawn, we have a new king of jingoism. Move over, Transformers, we have MORE EXPLOSIONS!
-
This is a bloated mess, there’s just too much of everything, except interest. It’s pure LA, there’s too many known actors everywhere, it’s the high concept, big budget, no ideas.
-
A biopic of a more interesting version of Navalny, more artiste than power-hungry Lenin wannabe. Some batshit insane sequences, suck it Eisenstein, what do you know about montage?
-
This is highly symbolic, just filled to the brim with metaphors, implied senses, dutch angles. But it’s also a rabid anti religion screed, up the wazoo, I love it.
-
This realistic Cyrano adaptation from the woman’s perspective starts off as very awkward rom com that gets darker, and darker, and darker. It’s better than Obsession.
-
Not another one! This is the fashionista episode. This was after I was born, so Bronson was really old and decrepit, back in New York.
-
This is the war on drugs episode. The one where the coroner lifts the shrouds on drug victims, and it’s all children. Boys who got shot robbing liquor stores, 13 years old girl prostituting themselves on the street, the works.
