  Self Reliance 2023

  ★★½ Watched 28 Apr 2024

  Starts out fine, but lost its steam towards the end.
  Some good ideas and a fun cast.

  About a formulaic as it gets. 
  The people are watchable, but that is about it really.

  The Hateful Eight 2015

  ★★★★½ Watched 26 Dec 2015

  Zero regrets about driving 400km to see this in 70mm. Got a little introduction about the history of 70mm film and some of its merits before the start. Very cool experience, including the overture and intermission to set the mood (didn't realize until now that intermissions aren't standard in the US, they are here).

  This film obviously looked great, obviously has stellar dialogue and obviously has awesome performances. Scene after scene of trademark Tarantino suspense building until an explosion of spectacular violence breaks out, just to start building up to another.

  Pretty much loved everything about it.
