Glass Onion (A Knives Out Mystery) - 6/10

The fundamental issue with the movie is does the one thing a Whodunnit absolutely can never do: its stupid. It tries to make that a plot point but it doesnt work. Its never clever. The characters are all very weak and honestly calling them characters is wrong to begin with. Theyre paper thin memes. The performances are good and I always like Jessica Henwick just as a rule.

Kate Hudson remains a smoke show and i would drink her bath water.

Our son is a HUGE horror fan, tons of collectibles (including an autographed Jason mask from Kane Hodder and autographed pic of "The Shape" from Nick Castle ((fun fact, The Shape was the name of the Michael Myers character before they gave him a name))



He watched the OG scream with my wife and I last Halloween and was hooked. He started getting Ghostface merch after, and even got a shirt for Christmas. I was worried because it had some pink writing on it, but he didn't even care. Woot.


Scream remains a solid great movie, and I'm the type of person who really dislikes multiple re-watches (I get bored).

the menu - 9/10

i absolutely loved this movie. the marketing campaign has you thinking it will be a cannibal affair, and it absolutely is not. everyone turns in really solid performances, but extra special praise to ralph fiennes, anya taylor-joy, and especially nicholas hoult. he really shines when he's playing a bit of a creep, and he's a real scum bag in this one.

it's working in a similar world to glass onion thematically in that it certainly critiques the rich, but this does it in a more elegant way through the use of artistry and the service industry. the intertitles for each course are also great, and get increasingly funnier as the action goes the opposite way. i will definitely be watching this one again.

and i have to concur with destor on glass onion. i wanted to like it more, and it is a fun movie, but it's as deep as a puddle across the board. considering i spotted the hand off between norton and bautista that lead to bautista's death, that part of the mystery was already done for me and it made getting there for the finale a bit tedious. i agree that all of the performances were great, and i'll give a special tip of the hat to janelle monae for convincingly playing two different parts.

I preordered The Menu based of WeXs take. Anya Taylor Joy is the best young actress going so its an easy purchase. Her eye for scripts (or her agents at least) is highly consistent.

i wish that i enjoyed last night in soho more than i did, but she made it worth watching. she's really grown on me over the past year or so. not that i didn't like her before, i just wasn't paying enough attention.

Soho was visually captivating. Story stumbled on a few beats but i really liked the movie. As much for its technical aspects as anything. Some of those shots were REALLY complex

I watched “The Menu” a couple of nights ago and it was very good. Ralph Fiennes is always good but Nicholas Hoult caught me off guard with how well he turned in a character performance to support ATJ, and Fiennes.

Tonight I’m watching “The Banshees of Inisherin” and I had to pause it in the middle just to post that it’s shaping up to be Martin Mcdonagh’s best film. I might do a proper review because his and his brother’s films are always worth watching a few times each. It’s films like these that make film the greatest art form for me.

That was quite the film…
Though it feels almost as if the other Mcdonagh brother wrote it. It’s reminiscent more of “Calvary” than “In Bruges” but it’s another film about deep, dark interpersonal shit and the good old human condition. Colin Farrell was great in this, this is probably the best performance he will ever give.

Manhattan (1979) - 7/10

I loved the visuals. Especially the city shots. Film is done in black and white and coupled with an outstanding score it creates a very old hollywood feel and aesthetic. Easily its peak is the atmosphere.

I think what makes it inferior to Annie Hall is its 3rd act is a bit of a mess on the page and on the screen. Its a fine romcom that isnt really about the specific relationships so much as a meta commentary on dating in the period. Objectively a lot of that is lost as the now of it has become then and with that change we see the details of the moment fade beyond memory.

All of it works though. Until the 3rd act when it just becomes a bit of a jumbled mess. Some characters who were played for laughs are now needed for higher drama and there's no character progression getting them or the audience there, and theyre still sort of played for laughs on top of it, leaving a string of scenes that just kind of fall apart.

Ultimately i think Allen had something say on dating at that time of his life but didnt have an answer to the problems, and who does really. The problem is if he had admitted that he'd have had a better ending.

Thinking about this a bit more. The visual/audio style call back to a bygone era mostly of the 50s. This would have played nostalgicly in 79. This is juxtaposed over the material which is the state of dating post the sexual revolution. It doesnt impact the 3rd act in any way but it adds a layer to the style of the film thats worth noting.

The Purple Rose of Cario- 7/10

Im struggling to put my thoughts together on this. Its impressive how on the surface this is a very digestible film. Easy to follow and straight forward. A woman during the great depression who is broke and married to the worst kind of man uses film to escape her life and imagine happiness. One the day reality breaks and a character leaps from the screen and falls in love with her.

The movie is genuinely funny and jeff daniels, playing two characters, is a show stealer. But under all that is a much more interesting film and im trying to get a handle on it. Woody Allen has touched on the essence of not just the catharsis of film but in dreaming. Longing. And how film, perhaps more broadly; narrative as a whole, facilitates that.

This is definitely a picture I'll have to chew on a bit to really be able to put it into words. On the surface its very cute. Some of this bits are as funny as they were 30+ years ago. The romantic, and idyllic, scenes maintain the magic of the classic film. All while being underpinned with a really rich layer depth that seems to go as deep as youll care to look.

And at no point does it demand you look any deeper than the surface. A lesson modern film could really learn from.

Knowing (2009)

- negative/10
SPOILER: show

Holy shit was this movie a let down. It has a cool concept, and just as you are gearing up thinking it is gonna be Nick Cage and his kid racing to prevent various disasters in an exciting way, they figure out everybody is gonna die. Then there is like Aliens or Time Travelers or some shit who show up to save kids, take them to a tree planet, and then it just ends with "EE" dying.

Charlie Kaufman is one of the better writers and one of the worst directors, which is something I suppose.
I guess I’ll avoid that like the plague until any and all hype dies down so I can trash it to my own standards if need be.

That movie Get Out from 2017 was pretty good. Didn’t expect it to be that great but it was!

“Sick” - 2/4

Standard slasher fare dressed up as Covid commentary. The unforgivable crime was making the hot protagonist look less hot as the film progressed. Whatever happened to Ally MacGraw’s syndrome for horror, huh? Jamie Lee Curtis Concussion or something…

The Menu- 8/10

Such enjoyable performances from everyone involved. Sense of disbelief takes a beating in certain parts, but given that there are very clear satirical elements, thats excusable.

Rurouni Kenshin “The Beginning” 7.5/10

Rurouni Kenshin “The Final” 6.5/10 The action is great, but there was 30-45 minutes where not much happened. Also they used a few too many scenes from “The Beginning.” Again though great action.

Rurouni Kenshin “Orgins” 8/10 awesome all the way around.

So I watched movies 4 and 5 of the series first, because I thought I had scene the first 3 movies. After watching clips of the first 3 movies on YouTube I realized I had never seen them.

So either way these are really awesome anime adaptations. It’s really hard to believe how good the movies are. The fights are really good and really
impressive how they were able to bring them into a live action movie.

Skinamarink - 8/10

I really enjoyed this.

Note - this type of movie will not be for everyone. It's a very liminal spaces meets found footage type of film...it's not a traditional movie. I really enjoyed it and have gathered the part that caught me most 'off guard' is the same part that caught everyone else most off guard while watching.

Spring - 3/4

I forgot to watch this after I found it online and ended up watching it two nights ago. I went in knowing it was created entirely by two geniuses and bore the typical hallmarks of their outstanding filmography - tiny cast, ethereal atmosphere intermittently disturbed by the precipice of an unseen abyss, real dialogue… Every film that Benson and Moorhead make is special for the pleasure it brings on both sides of the creative fence. The viewers get a great gift and it’s always given with a wry, knowing smile.

If anybody hated “The Shape Of Water” as much as I did and for the same reasons - watch “Spring”.
Lou Pucci is always a great choice in a dialogue driven film with dark/light running parallel through it(watch “Thumbsucker”) because he looks like he has attitude born from tragedy in the centre of his soul.

I wasn’t particularly impressed by the actress opposite him but she had a lot of disadvantages going into it so it’s a minor quibble that possibly won’t matter when I see it again.

I really like SPRING

Before I read what you wrote I said to myself "I hope it's the horror movie from Moorhead/Benson" so I was very happy to see it was indeed

They’re creating an entire universe one film at a time. I didn’t see the red flower/drug in this one though, but I probably missed it.

“Housebound” - 3/4

From the mind behind “M3GAN” coincidentally, and a very funny if slightly exasperating horror comedy. It reminded me of “A Fantastic Fear Of Everything” only with a bigger cast and more contrived plot but with a far higher laugh ratio and some real horror in it.
New Zealand cinema is either dark and dramatic or dark yet absurdly funny. Watch out South Korea…
