    Certain Fury

    Did you know Jake chilling the Hall's dad is a director? Well this is his feature film debut and then go well.

    I never heard of Certain Fury before tonight. This movie is so bad I don't know where to start.
    It seems most of the dialogue setups were locked down into angles in poorly blocked.
    The acting with student film grade.
    The plot and motivation was incoherent. Not quite as bad as The Room but it would probably be entertaining to watch with a group of people.

  • Heat

    Heat

    ★★★★

    While I've heard Heat referenced many times, I've never actually seen the film until now.

    Very early on I was seeing some parallels with the substance: beautiful young woman in the public eye with a dark secret.
    The other thing…

  • Revenge

    Revenge

    ★★★★

    I drifted toward Coralie Fargeat's feature film debut after watching The Substance.
    Revenge is very simple: a wealthy man named Richard (Dick if you're nasty) takes his mistress to a secluded house. His friends show up and one of them rapes her the next morning while he is on an errand. When he comes back he push it he pushes her off a cliff onto a tree, presumed dead. And... Rrrrrrroll credits.

    I was was extra keen to the symbolism…
