White Mischief 6.5/10

Romantic drama set in Kenya during the early 1940s, starring Charles Dance, Joss Ackland, and Greta Scacchi. Scacchi's character marries a much older member of the landed gentry (Ackland), and they relocate to Kenya. There, she starts an affair with Dance's character, who is a captain in the army and is part of some social circle who seem to be bonking one another. Dance's character is subsequently murdered, and the husband is put on trial for the killing.

I don't know what to make of the film, other than Scacchi's boobs are divine; I didn't know she had such a nice rack.

The Painted Veil 7.5/10

Film adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's novel, starring Edward Norton, Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber and Toby Jones. I haven't read the book, though I'm generally a fan of Maugham's work, so I can't say whether the deviations from the original source material (which there are) are for good or ill. A great story, however. Norton and Watts, especially the latter, give fine performances, and Jones is as dependable as ever.

There is some serious scenery porn; I would love to visit the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region of China.

I watched that film about ten years ago and it bummed me out big time, it is a pretty good performance piece but man alive is it bleak.

The Fabelmans - 8/10

Was pretty good, didn't want it to end so suddenly. Also, the whole movie I thought that Paul Dano was John Hodgeman and was like "I didn't know he could play serious"

Soylent Green 7/10

Another bleak film to while away the evening. Charlton Heston gives one of his better performances, playing an uncouth cop; a product of his environment, who seems to teeter on the edge when confronted with finery, juxtaposed with the degradation and poverty that he and the vast majority of people are forced to endure.

Comically bad. The acting is terrible, especially from the woman who plays Nancy's mother. It's inventiveness is its saving grace.

Halloween Ends. 0/10


What a waste of a fucking movie. I predicted the entire movie's plot within the first 15 minutes. I fell asleep within 35 minutes. Had no interest in finishing it. My wife told me the rest of the movie. Instead, I told her what I thought it'd be and was correct.

Biggest waste of time.

It’ll be the original. That being said I think I’m the only person that liked the remake but that’s mostly down to loving Jackie Earl Haley

Killers of the Flower Moon - 3/5

Probably could have been chopped a bit. I know Leo loves working with his "Dad" Scorsese. But he didn't fit the role.

I got too excited about that film before I remembered how dreadful Scorsese can be at times. Now it feels like an albatross.

The Cement Garden - 2.5/4

It’s like “Flowers In The Attic” turned up to eleven. The only reason I watched it was the style of cinematography, it felt like I was having a dream where I watched somebody else’s dream. Very strange but wonderfully put together, much like a Philip Ridley film without the beauty of the terror. It could conceivably be called a masterpiece by a Frenchman.

I watched that film when I was about twenty and I still think about it from time to time. The bath attack is pretty grim stuff, it exists in a category with “Happiness” and “L.I.E.”.

If you want to turn the anxiety up to 11 you could always watch an Austrian film called “Michael”.

The Marvels - 2 and 3/4 stars out of 4.

It's certainly better than the original and it manages to get by on the character interactions and some cool action scenes via the swapping gimmick. It's nice to also see consequences from the choices Carol has made and see how it's dealt with. It's not really a compelling story, in fact it's as standard as it gets for the MCU. It'll be rough for it to grab your attention outside a few highlights, notably the hilarious way the Flerkens "help" before the climax. Nothing really special overall. I'm just glad it checked off some of my boxes, even if some of the interactions could have been longer.

Stick around for a MAJOR mid-credit scene that tackles the fate of one of the characters and raising questions about the future of the MCU. It's the only post film scene so no need to wait.

The Marvels - 4/10

It wasnt as bad as the eternals. The script is just occurrences happening for the sake of happening. They nearly never build off each other its just "and then this happens." Many times its perfectly clear youre seeing a scene left over from a different version of the film.

For instance there's a big battle on a water world and after the team lands in a weat field. They get out and resolve an argument. Problem is the conflict didnt occur. The previous scene they were laughing and dancing with Kahn mere seconds prior gushing about Danvers only to need them to reconcile literal seconds later.

The entire film runs like this. The b plot has no stakes and in fact most of the film doesnt. Photon and the villain i wouldnt even describe as developed poorly they arent developed at all. The jokes dont land. The resolution is a joke.

SPOILER: show
Turns out danvers nearly killed a planet. The solution? Spend 15 seconds trying to fix it.


Its indefensible.

Wasn't the conflict Carol overcompensating, you know, the fact that she felt like a failure for so many years? I agree that things needed some more time, but I think that was the point they were trying to get across.

No, it wasnt. All 3 apologize. Kahn apologizes for over idolizong Danvers. Spmething that had never came up once as a point of contention.

At some point there was clearly a scene where they all had a falling out this scene, where theyre randomly in a wheat field btw, is clearly from another edit. Btw after this random out of place scene theyre back on earth. For the audience this is seconds later after being in another galaxy.

Absolutely. I think theres an easy 45 min cut out with much smaller scenes slotted in to fill the gaps

Went back to the early 90s and watched In The Line Of Fire. 8/10. I wasn't blown away or anything but, goddamn, Malkovich at his bombastic, creepy best, and Clint doing his thing is always a pleasure.

Rene Russo is in it too. She holds her own with Clint and some of their earlier scenes in particular definitely wouldn't sit well today, but are absolutely fucking hilarious. And it made me sad that Rene's "type" doesn't really exist anymore. I guess you could argue the likes of Charlize Theron fill that void but she's almost too big of a name.

Maybe a bit long but it moves briskly enough. I love the idea that while the Malkovich and Eastwood characters have plenty in common, Clint never buys into it. Any time Malkovich tries to find a middle ground between the two, Clint is like, "Nah fuck off you greezy creep," and pays it little mind after that. While the character has his doubts, he never has that overwrought crisis of confidence where he's like "MAYBE I'M THE BAD GUY."

Dylan McDermott is in In The Line Of Fire too, and he is an utter doofus. One of the funniest deaths I've ever seen in a serious film.

You didn’t even mention the plastic handmade gun…

That’s the best thing about that movie. I love that bit. I think Frank Drebin likes it too because there was some news story not so long ago that reminded us of it.
It’s the top reason to carry a lucky rabbits foot.

My mum used to have a dummy bullet in her purse for some reason. It was just a casing really but the stupid bitch brought it on a flight by mistake once and it rolled out onto the walkway. Somebody picked it up and a stewardess took it away but nothing happened when we landed. This was in the early 90’s when you could do shit like that without getting in trouble.

I watched “Assault On Precinct 13” last night which I have seen before and kind of forgotten about. John Carpenter was not great with stock character dialogue but damn was he great at letting proper actors take the stage before, and after the major set pieces. Carpenter’s corn is good quality corn.
