Nostalgia is a powerful drug, I’m well aware, but I just wanted to see if this childhood favourite would hold up under my increased exposure to different styles and types of film and how to perceive them in a general manner.
Of course it does hold up immensely. It would’ve been something very special for the opposite to occur.
Yes, this doesn’t stick close to Dahl’s source material but we as viewers gain something I find a little bit more…
Y’all want a personal review?
Not been having a great time as of late, and it’s probably not the best idea to watch such a completely gutting movie such as this, but I’ve been trying to understand myself currently and Aftersun is probably the only film that even comes close to helping me. Even at 23, I still don’t fully understand myself!
From the start of 2022 to the day of writing this, I’ve struggled with episodes of depression. It’s…
Honestly thought this would be a bit of a mess but one thing I was certain of really enjoying pre-Suzy Bannion Jessica Harper singing and existing. What a beauty. Also, Beef is a fucking icon.
Essentially RHPS without the fanbase. De Palma's camerawork remains as hypnotic and bloody well orchestrated as you'd expect. Sets are beautiful, making me feel like I'm on an Argento or Bava set. So many pretty colours and lovely textures. Whilst I take issue with how…
More proof that you can take any of De Palma's work and see instantly that he has style to burn. Some fun as fuck sequences that could've been boring if not in his hands.
What appears to be a near twelve minute long one take at the beginning of this thrill ride sets out every pawn that will be caught in this intricate web of deceit and lies. Cage unleashes some of his trademark gonzo energy as Santoro. A complete…
Just a reminder that WB are and always be pricks for delaying this and almost trying to bury it out of sight and mind.
Had a fair bit of fun with my first official Bong film viewed on the big screen. Pattinson still proving that he has versatility to burn and remains one of my favourite actors working today. The ability to change between serious and comedic at a moment’s notice is just incredible to behold. Enjoyed Ruffalo and Collette…
See people, this is how all films that preach the ACAB message should be.
Beyond ridiculous and over the top when looking at each individual jigsaw piece that forms this Friedkin picture but combined, something very interesting is presented. ACAB as I opened with, taking us through a sun drenched voyage of unyielding brutality and what one with authority can do and will do with such power. Very similar to films from Michael Mann for me but definitely being a…
