Destor if I can get a hold of this film, upload it to YouTube and stream it live then we are watching it together.
It cracks me up. Women are things.

If you compare this film with “The Homesman” they tell two very different tales of marriage in the old West.

What a quality film. I saw it a couple of times in my twenties but it has been a long time.
Every song is awful but relevant.
The comedy is ridiculously funny, it is a work of genius.

One of the brothers goes to town and beats up three guys when another brother offers a group of women some chaw and it offends them.

Imagine being an actual hillbilly that sees a group of dames and thinks “what do I own that is good enough to impress them” and the answer you come up with is chaw.

That’s just great writing.

The brothers put on a real show to attract wives when they all finally clean up and go into town. They dance like they are acrobats.
4/4 Destor.

Any time something happens that might inflame the groin they burst out into song.
This is your Hays Code in action and it is glorious if implemented correctly only to be subverted correctly.

The only other western musicals I can think of are Oklahoma! and Calamity Jane.
Seven Brides is way better and totally self aware.

Hard Eight (1996) - 7/10

I think nearly any other film tried to have a plot as absent as this and it would produce an unwatchable mess but here i think it really works. The actors and the writing holds you firmly. You want to hear more. You want to see more. You want this despite technically having nothing going on in a larger narrative sense.

The viewer, or at least I, easily get the impression theres something more to know. Whats the angle? That sort of thing. Im a bit too tired to really dig into this but i liked it.

I loved the last shot. Perhaps a PTA trope but his ability to give a massive ammount of information in the closing moments is possibly as good as it gets.

SPOILER: show
Sydney does clean the blood off. He just covers it up. This moment tells us, atleast perhaps, why he pseudo adopted John C Rileys character. He's stained with the past but perhaps has can cover his soul.

I always struggle to rate films im mixed on. I'll start with praise cause there's a fair amount to appreciate

Immediately this film is visually striking. It has a clear voice and it grabs you in the first few frames. You're able to feel like youre in good hands and it really lets relax and go on this journey. and the 1st act has some great visual effects and some wildly complex practical effects thats are just super interesting to look at.

Casting is excellent. Thomasin McKenzie id had only seen in JoJo Rabbit but she was outstanding there and she is here too. Anya-Taylor Joy is sex personified and leans into it in a way that allows her to command every scene she has.

I'll try and be vague about the plot here because this does live and die on the plot and the less you know the better. I'll say that it unravels its mystery in a way thats very satisfying.

Unfortunately the plot is incredibly discordant. Tonally its 3 films and they blend pretty poorly where they butt up against one another. That said once the "new" film gets momentum they do manage to get you back but id be lying if i said it didnt take me out of the film multiple times with these hard pivots.

SPOILER: show
at its core this is a #metoo horror film. But its for the most part feminism done correctly. The film doesnt stop, stare into the camera, and lecture the audience. It does it through a fair ammount of subtext.

The film, in my opinion, bravely acknowledges the culpability in the heroin. It doesnt pretend that she wasnt trading on dreams but it also doesnt excuse the benefactors of the transaction either. Thats a tight rope to walk.

Where i think it fails is does excuse our villain at the end and goes as far as to approve and thats just a bridge too far. However it does get some things right. Not every woman in this picture is a saint. Some are out right monsters. And not every man is a predator. Some have genuine and honest intentions. This messaging is paramount.

You also have some brilliant moments where the protagonist is being haunted by these male spectors. But we the audience see that these are normal people and in some cases men we know to be good. This is important. Its her paranoia that "all men are evil" that blinds her to the truth. Its not all men. Its specific men. There are monsters but it shouldnt damn us all.

Its moments like that that separates this film from what has become bog standard hollywood lecturing. The film addresses the complexity and danger present by going too far in BOTH directions and that makes for a film that feels like its taking the topic seriously.

But as stated in the end theres a value judgement cast that goes too far when the plot is taken on the surface level. The reality could have been a horrible person born from the actions of horrible people and i think that would have rang more true.

Ultimately i think the film is a visual treat and should probably been seen just for the sake of SEEING it. These mirror effects are mostly practical and theyre wild technically and the rest is just icing on the cake.

Requiem for a Dream (200) - 8/10

Ive been a fan of Aronofsky's work since π but never got to this despite hearing the word masterpiece thrown around when it comes up. I think thats why i passed on it. It was oversold. I tend to let things sit when theyre built up too much for their own sake and with this film i just never went back to it after the hype died down.

To be clear masterpiece is definitely over selling it but it is very very good. It contrasts legal addiction vs agorist addiction. It mirrors the highs and lows from multiple perspectives and its very captivating. It appears to me its central effort is to call out the pharmaceutical industry and the medical field that fuels it.

Extremely well acted. A superb score. The cinematography has an identity and i get what its going for but ive never cared for the extreme close ups and hard cuts. It works. You can convey a lot with it and its done well here but i always feel like it removes the audience from the world and reminds us this is a film.

On top of that the films toys with reality vs perception and it has us asking what is diegetic vs non-diegetic frequently and that inadvertently breaks the 4th wall. In scenes where we should worry about the characters this hurts the tension.

All that said the major story beats are phenomenal and the climax is deep and harrowing. The film certainly works and well.

That scene has a brutality to it that is really difficult to describe.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) - 5 or 7/10

Im giving this film two numbers because if you've seen any of the other adaptations or read the novel...or any of the derivatives for that matter then this will offer nothing of interest. It doesnt bring anything new to the piece at all

And for the record: i think thats a good thing. A reasonably faithful adaptation that has a modern highly notable cast is a great thing to offer audiences. Most movie goers dont watch films from 50 years ago or read novels from nearly a century ago.

Its for those viewers i give this a 7. This is the quintessential whodunnit. The one that truly subverts the detective genre in a way when i saw the 1974 film that blew me away. I do think that version is the better version and if youre inclined to go into older film thats the one you should see but if this is your blind viewing you'll probably get a lot of enjoyment from it.

SPOILER: show
conceptionally the concept of "what if there were no red herrings?" is still the most clever approach to a crime novel ever. Knowing the audience is trying to solve the case alongside our inspector and weilding that against them is forever genius.

tl;dr its a fine adaptation of a story thats timeless but also a story that once heard can never be interesting again.

Seriously?

Damn that’s good pricing.
It’s a fucking hilarious film.

I’m going to try to set up a watch along for films like this.

If we do a chat we could watch it just by you using your movie and me using my stream.

I would prefer the #1WWE Classic style though.
Straight streaming. I figure uploading movies to a private YouTube channel works at least for the duration of the stream.

Everything Everywhere all at Once (2022) - 6/10

A mash-up between Jet Li's The One and Kung Pow! Enter the Fist that hinges mostly on if you find arbitrary funny or not. The idea that a single person in this film could win best actor in any single category never mind best picture is completely beyond me.

Best editing though for sure. No question. The kung fu is pretty solid and often funny. The overarching plot of family and acceptance is as deep as a fortune cookie.

I will however give it an extra point for Raccaccoonie

7/10

Yeah.....I really wanted to love this and I was even on board with it before it "blew up" and turned into an Oscar contender. Been a while since I saw it and while I found it enjoyable enough it didn't meet my expectations of it being anymore profound than - as Destor said - a fortune cookie (v racist comment from Destor. I didn't say it).

Def more on the goofy side (pee your pants as a catalyst) which isn't my thing as I'm more of the hard sci-fi fi (see: Arrival) type of film goer. So, maybe it wasn't for me or a dancing loving racist like Destor but I didn't love it apparently as other did.

Everything everywhere broke my rule of I don't like movies or shows where stuff is happening in other dimensions. It was okay and Raccacoonie was really funny but any time theres interdimensional stuff I lose all interest

I'm watching "What If" and Zoe Kazan has such beautiful sad eyes. I'll always remember her for playing "Ruby Sparks".
