Kill Bill is horrible in review. Thankfully I was young enough to get away with enjoying that at the cinema.
It aged so much worse than Fight Club and Fight Club feels like it has been on chemo for twenty years.
I'd have to say Tarantino's best film is Jackie Brown followed by Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. When it's all said and done though it's True Romance that proved that a more versatile and productively focused director will make a better film using a Tarantino script than Tarantino himself can.

3 Billboards Outside EBBING, Missouri - 4/4

What I witnessed in those two hours is the reason why films are made, the reason why children grow up wanting to be actors and the truest form of acting chemistry I may ever have seen. This film has one flaw and yet the flaw is so tiny that it attracts interest rather than scorn. Martin McDonagh has a preoccupation with the treatment of dwarves in society and I predict that someday it may become a regrettable signature. His brother's trademark seems to be Catholicism, sex and chicanery of all kinds which is why his films seem more familiar at first.

I digress.

Frances McDormand was perfect in a role that any actress would bite their right arm off for but that none could have touched as wholly nor infused with as much of themself as Frances did.
Woody Harrelson is walking the line of genius actor at this stage in his career and I think he could actually win the big one someday soon if he gets a lead as wonderful as this supporting role was. Here he plays the sweetest role of his life and he gives everything to the film, taking nothing away with him at the finish. If the film belongs to Frances McDormand then it's in no small part due to the fact that Woody gave her his absolute finest. I really cannot overstate just how excellent the part he plays is.

Sam Rockwell is one of cinemas real heroes, an actor willing to lead, support or even job just to create something beautiful. He plays his position here like a point kicker, popping up at the right time to score points in any number of different moods and situations, each to bring a joy, a fear or a sorrow to your overworked heart by the film's end.

I try not to review plots in doing this because spoilers are a bastard, so I will say that Martin McDonagh has absolutely outdone himself here. This is a work of art.

Good review. I haven't seen it yet, but it's ranked high on the IMDb top 250 list and has stayed there consistently in a "No Country For Old Men" type of way rather than one of those Oscar movies that gets rated highly at first then fizzles out the next year when everyone forgets about it, so it's probably going to be one of those movies that's here to stay.

It's a masterpiece. I now know how Mark Kermode felt when he first saw Blade Runner. This one is a game changer to me. Those McDonagh brothers have talent pissing out of them, both create great films but Calvary and 3 Billboards are individual contributions to cinema that will last for as long as we have means to play them. Sheer genius.

The first one is just fun. The music is top notch, great dialogue along with great action sequences and story telling. I think it has aged perfectly fine over the years. I will have to rewatch the 2nd one at some point as I never really thought it kept the momentum like the first one. The first one just really flowed nicely.

Kill Bill was the project that transformed a uniquely talented trope-loving auteur into a loud, obnoxiously forward self parody. The films he made in the 90's are so far ahead of the films he has made this millennium it's as if he himself is making the films that over-influenced, over-privileged film students should be leaving education to create in homage to him only he's doing it with crazy studio money and churning out three hour films with B-movie plots with about half an hour of quality material.

He is a living warning for anybody who values style over substance. You can only borrow from so many other films for so long before people start to notice that your films are a bit hollow.
There's the obvious danger in replicating his beloved one dimensional drive through movies.

I mean yeah, from a purely critical standpoint its weak, but its so much god damn fun. Plus, I believe it was always meant as more of a tribute than its own thing.

All of his films are genre-tributes now.

I suggested Kill Bill had started that though it was probably Jackie Brown given it's a blacksploitation flick with some serious cash behind it but it's an Elmore Leonard story so you know it could work without Tarantino in another, less appreciated form.

He's too full on now, his films are Nicolas Cage turned up to 11. I saw the original Inglorious Bastards and it was more fun than his version even with the spectacular bar gunfight scene.

His best film for ages was Hateful Eight. The ending nearly killed it but that's a good film.

I'm not saying he bores me or is bad at what he does, I just wish he was doing more with the resources at his disposal than reintroducing films that struggled to entertain people with low income in the 70's.

Alex Strangelove on Netflix - 7/10

Not as emotionally endearing as 'Love, Simon' but more realistic portrayal of teens

Triple 9 - 3.5/4

The box cover and title of this exceptional heist thriller undermine the sales potential and render it an easy walk-past on the sales shelf. Thank fucking God Sicario made me stop caring about movie covers so much or I fear I would never have gotten round to watching this.


Triple 9 is a remarkably well made film. As far as heist movies with car chases and gunfights go this really is up there and John Hillcoat just keeps proving that he can make any action work for him. The visceral, shocking suddenness of The Proposition's gunplay gets an HD touch up and a modern wardrobe and means of transport; the up close and personal horrors of Lawless are turned onto a contemporary city block which oozes impurity and who's civilians carry a greater indifference rather than a wisely turned blind eye.
This is a movie to be constantly surprised by and honestly it's miles ahead of the choppily paced The Town which is itself a damned good film. If you like films that push forward and never stop or stall then Triple 9 is a good shout.
Chiwetel Eijiofor, Woody Harrelson, Anthony Mackie and Casey Affleck are all in a high gear and they are clearly enjoying the material as a rare high quality filler job between prestige projects or blockbusters.
The obvious downside to this great movie is Kare Winslet's horrendous accent. Somebody told her she could do accents, probably the same idiot that told Nicole Kidman but no. Stick to the Jack Nicholson approach and don't stretch yourselves ladies, it takes me out of a film when I hear someone trying an accent on for size.

Also who the fuck cast Winslet as Gal Gadot's sister? Egregious errors are abundant in the female side of this film but who cares, they are small parts that should have been rewritten to save minor embarrassment.

The Disaster Artist: 4.5/5. It was fun to watch, especially having seen the source material and having read the book. There were a couple points where I thought "Jeez, Dave Franco actually kinda looks like Greg Sestero."

Dave Franco is incredible in that film. In the end when they do the side by side scenes from The Room and The Disaster Artist equivalent cast members you see that he has even got his speech pattern and timing down perfectly. Nobody else quite got the timing as well as he did.

I thought it was great too. Zach Efron looked so huge next to Josh Hutcherson it was hilarious. I thought Josh was quite a big kid but obviously not.

Josie and The Pussycats: 5.5/10

Girlfriend is a big fan of this flim, and when I told her I've never seen it, She made me watch it, had some funny bits at the beginning but went downhill quick. Looking back it's weird that Rosario Dawson had the biggest career of the three considering she was the least known at the time.

Been meaning to watch this since I was a kid. We had the VHS somehow, and my dad would always recommend it to us kids, but we would always pick something else.... but I always thought eventually we would watch it.... and then we never did..... VHS probably still sitting never watched at my parent's house.
