  • The Killer

    The Killer

    ★★★★

    A falsely advertised movie, this isn't an action movie. It's a psychology movie. As we follow Hitman who gives us his entire psychotic workflow and then slowly undoes himself as he gets revenge. It's more of a take on the human condition from the perspective of a killer than a meticulous action flick about revenge imo. Very careful and delicate film making, I love it.

    Gran Turismo

    ★★★

    The racing scenes were shot really well. I could tell they were trying to deliver the visceral joy of driving. I just think that they rushed the first half's plot to get to the racing and that made the pacing feel off.

    Sorry Alien, I wasn't aware of your spiritually related to Blade Runner, lewd ahh alien game. I might have to watch all of the Alien series now...since I've only seen the first one (and a handful of Alien timeline explained videos). 

    Can't say much was bad, except so many early deaths and genre appropriate silly human logic. Loved the cinematography, love the effects and the nostalgic sci-fi set. I could tell a lot of shots and dialogue were nostalgic too.

    And...I guess I finally understand everyone's obsession with Cailee Spaeny.

    What is a girl for?

    Anna Kendrick's period piece covers a not so cheery story about a serial assaulter and the victims he tortured with his presence.

    What is great is the pacing & cinematography that really portrays the mind games and performances that women of that era (and this one too) to get around in a world that is so regularly dominated by the standards of men. While not subtle, it is also just obvious enough for even the most…
