It is a sympathetic take until you recognise the duality of Arthur's "reality".
I reckon anyone who got offended by that completely missed the importance of his delusion.

100%. Once you realize he's not a trustworthy narrator of his own story and sympathy instantly washes away and you see him for the deranged individual he is.

Need to watch it again. Haven't seen it since its theatrical release. Namely because it was a brutal and exhausting film to get thru. But in the best ways.

I haven't seen it again yet either, as you said it was so impactful that I have it firmly pressed into my mind.

That's the best Joker now.

I can't compare it definitively say who was better. I love them both.

The Conversation-6/10

Gene Hackman lead feature about a man running a private surveillance company who's hired to spy on the wife of a top executive. Gets a little too involved in the recordings in trying to crack what the cheating couple is insinuating when they say "he'd kill us if he had the chance". The film breaks away from this plot to highlight Hackman as a paranoid, socially inept loner, which isn't half as interesting as that main plot.

Couldn't really get into. Found it a little boring and I think the focus on the character as opposed to the story is why. It's not even a 2 hour film, and cutting 29 minutes or so of the character driven stuff prob would've made it better for me personally.

Tigers Are Not Afraid - 9/10

Pans Labyrinth meets City of God

Watching "Child's Play" reboot.
It works.

I don't remember the original being funny.
This one is... zany

Man alive, this kid thinks the garbage chute is a portal to another dimension.
Boy ain't bright.

Does the reboot have Brad Dourif voicing the character?

If not, I cannot get on board.

It has Mark Hamill voicing Chucky so it's a pretty solid replacement.

Brad Dourif has done like 8 shitty Chucky films already.

Contratiempo ("The Invisible Guest" in English) - 8.5/10

Thought that it started out kind of "generic" plotline, but then it got better.

La Dictadura Perfecta (The Perfect Dictator)-8/10

A political satire, it focuses on a corrupt news station empire that is hired by a governor to clean up his image after video released outs his corruption. The station producer and star on scene reporter take advantage of a kidnapping to deter attention while working double time to silence an honest politician.

I liked it a lot even tho it is extremely cynical and the ending is a bummer. Was well done and is apparently a play on real life occurrences in Mexico.

The Lighthouse - 7/10

If it was rubbish would you have called it The Shitehouse?

21 Bridges - 7.5/10 - Pretty good for what I thought was going to be a paint-by-numbers action movie.... Had more thriller elements to it, which I did enjoy....

E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial - 5/10 - Never watched it as a kid, finally watched it as a 30-year old, clearly doesn't hold up in 2020, but I don't think it would have been something I enjoyed as a child....Seemed very "meh"

Rise of Skywalker

Not-as-bad-as-I-expected/10

Rhythm Section.

Decent could of been better though.

Good Boys.

Made me laugh enough to watch again.

IT Chapter Two 7/10

The first film is stronger, but I still enjoyed it. Its nearly 3 hours long, but doesn't seem to drag, which to me is usually a good indicator.

Man, it sure as hell dragged when I watched it.

I like both movies but the first one was way better and the second seemed like it dragged a lot more between the exciting scenes.

Just saw Prison Break: The Final Break movie. It was ok at best. Least favorite part of the series by a mile though. The format and stories they tell with that show demand way more than a couple hours to make them work. It stripped out so much of what made the prior seasons of the show so great and wittled it down to the bare minimum. No time to develop the new characters in any way or flesh out the plan into the levels of detail I was used to. Just seems so whack after watching all these super in depth plans come together over the course of a season with all the twists and turns and double crosses only for them to easily spring someone from jail in a couple hours with hardly any effort at all.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

Very nostalgic for me.

1BR - 8/10

One of the better horror films I've seen in a while. Realistic and disturbing.

El Hoyo-9/10

The Platform on Netflix, a film about a Jesus allegory man who enters a prison like structure where a platform of food descends down a hole, stopping for 2 cell mates to eat as much as they can before it moves down to the next floor.

I enjoyed it but it's hard to write a review. Lots of themes to unpack, the biggest one being how one man can attempt and sacrifice to start a social movement of unity.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri - 8/10

The Last Laugh.

Thought it would be boring but was watchable.

Django Unchained.

Leo was great but nearly 3hrs wasn't necessary.

American Ultra.

Pretty entertaining.


To The Bone.

Undecided on my opinion on it.

Police Academy 6/10

I've seen all the bad sequels at some point, but never the original film. I'm not quite sure how this film managed to spawn an entire series. Kim Cattrall was ridiculously cute in the 80s, though.

Okja - 7/10

Dunno. It just seemed like a long "eating meat is bad" movie

That movie was dope.

I could go for some elephant trunk calamari

Todos Los Saben-8/10

Everybody Knows on Netflix. Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz star. A small scale crime thriller where a kidnapping takes place in the middle of a wedding reception in a small village in Spain. Some family secrets and true feelings spill, a family's loyalty to itself is challenged, and a sense of revenge is had.

Scoob-5/10

Meh. Mediocre animation, mediocre writing, and a mediocre story starring a smorgasbord of Hannah-Barbera characters to flank and fill passable but forgettable Scooby Doo movie that might get a few chuckles out of you.

Wild - 7.5/10

Contact - 7/10

Prisoners - 9/10

Halloween 2018.

Pretty enjoyable wasn't expecting much
