Annihilation 2018
This is a pretty good movie - and as such it's infuriating to me how incredibly easily this could've been great. I don't think I've ever seen a film that tackles cosmic/Lovecraftian horror in a way that's this visceral, this direct and this authentic.
And then the fucking framework plot which takes place *after* the events of the film spoils the entire goddamn movie literally from the first minute onward. WTF? What was Garland thinking with this? Why make a…

2001: A Space Odyssey 1968
Let's just skip the "what can I say about this movie that hasn't been said already" bit and get to the point:

Richard Stanley's "Color out of Space" is yet another admirable but severely flawed attempt at translating the themes of cosmic horror and existential dread in HP Lovecraft's writings onto the big screen. While there are occasionally some interesting ideas and some surprisingly good performances here, the film ultimately succumbs to cliché and contrivance after the mid point.

The Northman 2022
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
TL:DR:
Robert Eggers' "The Northman" is an ambitious love letter to Nordic mythology and Shakespearean theatre, but ultimately collapses under its own immense weight towards the end.
Not bad by any stretch of the imagination, and most of the times quite enjoyable, but never all that memorable and most certainly not the grand marble pillar of modern indie cinema that many hoped it would end up being.
