Ben Foster was so great in that, you’d think there was ten of him.

Phantom Thread (2017) - 8/10

Really good. Probably PTAs most straightforward piece but still really deep and thoughtful. The ending spells out what its driving unlike most of his films but i didnt find it anyless satisfying for it. Which isnt to say there isnt ambiguity or room from multivalent interpretations. Very rich film. The use of the score throughout the film to accent the films intent was a really well handled.

127 Hours (2010) - 7/10

This being based on a pretty famous story this is all going to be a spoiler since the film assumes you know the story.

SPOILER: show
When he gets stuck the initial claustrophobia is really well done. You can easily feel as trapped as he is. Everything after until the climax is mostly just to make a movie happen. In truth this shouldve been a 45min short film. Still its interesting despite it being extraneous.

The amputation i had been told was especially harrowing and honestly i felt the way it was shot and edited was all wrong. Its cut heavy using split screen and "internal" shots of the knife working through his arm. This all is immersion breaking. The film builds to this major moment and i dont think it resonates like it should. It doesnt ruin the film though.

What does resonate is when he finds help. There's an instant catharsis that occurs and inan innstant all the tension is let out of the film in a way that really hits. His isolation is ended and for a breif moment you appreciate humanity.

Fast X - 7.5/10

Was really entertaining. Kind of grounded the action a little bit from "super ridiculous, I'm SURE physics doesn't work that way" to "ridiculous, but physics might work that way? Probably not"

Jason Mamoa is great in his villain role and easily steals the movie.

SPOILER: show
Only drawback is it just ending... I know that it is was already revealed to be split into two (now three) movies, but at least give it a kind of "episodic" arc rather than just cutting off the action/plot at a high point.

When it comes to two or three-part films, people should follow the Avengers: Infinity Wars and Endgame model, rather than the Hunger Games: Mockingjay model.

Yeah, first it was "Fast X will be the final entry in the franchise", then "Fast X is being split into two parts", then "Fast X will be split into three parts".... and now The Rock getting a movie in between two parts....

Also read a headline somewhere (didn't read the article) that said Vin Diesel now has beef with Jason Mamoa for stealing the show and being what people praise about the movie.

Is there any chance of Dwayne Johnson returning to the franchise? I don't believe these movies would be as popular as they are if it wasn't for his involved in the FF5 movie.

Sisu 6.5 or 7/10

I can't really decide on the rating. A film very much in the vein of 1970s exploitation films, centring around a Finnish miner/ex-army commander's attempts to retrieve his gold, which has been stolen from him by a company of German soldiers as they flee from Lapland in Finland to Norway, in the latter stages of WWII.

Plenty of gratuitous and gory violence, though perhaps not as much I was expecting. At around 90 mins, it does not out stay its welcome.

RoXer and I (with my wife and sister) went to see Fast X. Thought it was better than 9. 9 was just ridiculously over the top. This one had it's moments of needing to suspend disbelief, 9 for me was too much. And I didn't really like Momoa as the villain...he tried to be the Joker to Dom Toretto's Batman, but it seemed contrived.

We had marathoned all of the movies during COVID. My favorites are probably 1,5, and 6. Hobbs and Shaw and 9 probably the worst.

New Spider Man was fn great.

Only bad part is that this is spawning similar style movies as studios are trying to resurrect various franchises. Ultimately its going to result in watered down clones

I went into the future and saw Beetlejuice II. It was GLORIOUS. I'm going back to that timeline because this one sucks.

Melancholia (2011) - 9/10

Its very difficult to write about a complex work moments after youve seen. Melancholia isnt as abstract as most of Lars von Triers filmography but its no less deep. The film uses verisimilitude to accent its dive into depression. First the back drop of a wedding and then larger with a planet growing closer to crashing into the eart.

Both highlight how depression feels in way ive not felt on screen. The wedding is what should be a time filled with boundless joy but Dunsts character has none. She tries, but its a lie and we can see that. As world comes to end we see the depression from an anxiety perspective. Both feel very genuine. Both are perfect representations of the condition. No one is realing from the death of a loved one. There isnt an event that causes the suffering they simply are are suffering.

All of this has a wonderful backdrop that serves to show us visually how wrong theyre feeling by having the world be beautiful. Many of the shots are beautiful. Everything is gorgeous and pristine. The characters, who are miserable, are surrounded by an idealic scenario.

The cast is really great and Dunst gives a performance that has a weightiness to it that screams authenticity. And id have to turn in my man card if i didnt say how great her tits look in the moon light. Stunningly beautiful. Her acting is better but it cant go unsaid.

Lars von Tier has a challenging catalog but this is definitely his most commercial work and i think its a film thats near the top of his pile and thats a combination thats pretty rare.

The image of Kirsten Dunst just chilling in the grass is etched into my memory.

That’s his one remotely interesting film and that’s only because Kirsten Dunst has really nice boobs. The man sucks interest out of topics compulsively, he’s one of the worst directors ever to get work.
Invents a style of filmmaking complete with essential rules, proceeds to then never make one that obeys those idiotic rules. He probably tells people it was all a big joke now.

His Charlotte Gainsbourg obsession bothers me too. I think he wishes she was eleven years old and he was Serge.

Apparently he has Parkinson’s Disease now.

He’ll probably make a film about a nudist who gets her tits out and because she has Parkinson’s Disease she’s shaking them around all of the time. She’ll be fourteen years old and her dad will be an agnostic Jew who never hits her but does make her sit on his lap a lot.

Autobiographical.

His most joyful film is about people pretending to be retarded. “The Idiots”… it’s trying too hard to be transgressive so it just comes off as pathetic rather than deplorable much like GG Allin. Lots of nudity of course.
I remember watching it as a teen when it was on Film 4 as part of their controversial foreign films season and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing not because it was incredible, but because even as a teenager stoned out of my tree it just seemed like a child’s effort to shock a bigger kid.

Yorgos Lanthimos is a bit like a cross between David Lynch and LVT with vastly superior talent, a sense of humour and actual working knowledge of cinema and psychology. I don’t particularly like him either but at least he knows what he’s doing.

The funniest is the 2nd, 2 Fast 2 Furious, best overall I would say is Fast Five, although 6 and 7 were really solid too.
