Once Upon a Time in the West 1968
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Harmonica’s tune represents the inevitable destruction of his kind—the outlaw.
Agent Smith once saidYou hear that, Mr.Anderson? That is the sound of inevitability. It is the sound of your death
For Mr. Anderson, the bright headlights and whistle of the train represent the end in that moment, but Once Upon a Time in the West has that inevitability permeate through the entire film. Harmonica’s harmonica (I know I’m hilarious) is a musical reminder that there remains no escape. And…

Frankenhooker 1990
At times it’s ingenius and at other times it’s unbelievably boring. The issue of creating something that’s intentionally campy and trashy comes when it stops being funny. Luckily for Frankenhooker, the important gags all hit, and they hit hard.
It’s between the best gags when Frankenhooker struggles to keep me interested. The complete and utter lack on sincerity is sometimes effective, but other times it feels lazy. And that perceived laziness slowly becomes painful, as you are forced to endure…

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

The environments are rich, the cinematography is consistently stunning, and there are brutal practical effects and some nasty gore. But these don't make a movie great or even good. And holy christ the CGI on Rook has to be some of the worst-looking CGI I…

Manhunter 1986
I cannot explain why, but I was not invested in this movie. The whole film felt lifeless as if I was being dragged through the entire movie as the events unfolded.
The performances were weird, especially the main man Graham, I swear to god his performance feels so cold and lifeless to me. I don't want to be mean to the film, but I genuinely felt nothing to love about it. To me this movie fails to be intense, it…
