GOTG VOL 3 - 9/10

Easily the best marvel movie of this wave, and best Trilogy in the MCU. Spent a lot of time with watery eyes in this one.

You bastard, nobody add any more to the list or I’ll be all fucked up within days. These Ghibli films take it out of you. It’s like playing Final Fantasy all day.

There you have it, the new Avengers.

Alan Tudyk's character would have the torso of a man and the lovely legs of a woman and possibly the vagina too, but you'd never really know with a PG13 movie.
They could have him constantly putting big cucumbers in his purse though, just to give you an inkling.
Nathan Fillion would have a camel's hump and big purple tits and the woman would probably be invisible or something.
They'd all spend all of their time saving her because she was so lame.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - 9/10

Really loved this - shocked at how much horror Gunn got away with adding to a PG-13 film and the film does something many MCU films have ignored for a while now - balancing humor with drama. Shockingly touching many times through and through. A perfect send-off for this trilogy.

It's also really interesting to me how the reoccuring theme of the Guardians films was overcoming a narcissistic parent/creator, from Thanos to Ego to High Evolutionary...and High Evolutionary is one of the best Marvel villains thus far.

Babylon (2022) - 7/10

I enjoyed this a lot more than i thought i would. Damien Chazelle's La La Land is a top 10 movie for me but the previews for this didn't hook me. The marketing was based on the first 20-30 min of the picture which is set during a lavish party of the highest depravity. It's an important sequence but the film covers a ton of ground and this marketing does a terrible job encapsulating what the film is.

The film is set in the 20s/30s and follows the transition of Hollywood from silent film to Talkies and the human cost of that cultural shift. At least aesthetically. The film is not truly set in the past its about right now and the current shift into the new new hollywood. It's in that regarf that Brad Pitts' character allows him to give a very interesting performance as he plays a silent star who boldy champions and pursues the advancement but is struggling to survive in this new landscape.

This struggle, as theaters are dying off and the old new hollywood shrinks away into obscurity, is explored through 4 main characters from multiple perspectives, all of which have echoes into the present day.

SPOILER: show
The final sequence aims to paint this is a glorious tradition that paved the path for generations of wonderul memories using a sizzle cut of great film scenes from the 50s on up. Implication is that this has happened before and led to great things.i find that to be far too optimistic. The loss of the home video format has already fundamentally altered the economic model of the hollywood studios and losing the theater model will do them in completely.


The real champion of this picture is the editing. The film spends a lot of its run time moving at a breakneck pace that really serves to demonstrate the chaos of the world these characters are in
The cinematography is no slouch here though either. There are some very fun oners and some scenes that are framed with a really great eye. The score is another big character in the movie and i really enjoyed the heavy brass pieces. Also, I should give some praise to Margo Robbie and Toby McGuire who i think give memorable performances.

As a whole this is a nice package. Everything was thoughtfully put together at every level of production.im certainly more pessimistic than the script is but i wasn't expecting much from this and was pleasantly surprised.

One scene that i thought really stands out is Robbies character attemptingis being coached of how to be more dignified. She goes to party and has a carrier in tow correcting not only he how she speaks and what she says but the opinions she has as well. Strong parallels in my mind.

It climaxes hilariously causing Robbie to effectively be canceled.

John Wick: Chapter 4 - 7/10

Was the last weekend it is in theaters so finally decided to go check out. Probably the weakest of the sequels, but there is some sweet action scenes. Feel like the movie was a bit "too long" maybe. I think if they somehow skished Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 together into one really focused movie this could have been a great trilogy.

Chapter 2 easily the best movie of the bunch.

Amsterdam (2022) - 3/10

This film brings every major player of today into one giant ensemble and some stars of yesteryear as well. No wonder its trash.

Film meanders through long directionless scene after scene and after wasting your time youll be rewarded with a scene where some kind character will enter and give you exposition that i guess they didnt have time to get to during those scenes where nothing interesting happened.

And the cast.. the principle cast is surprisingly poor. I cant imagine there was any chemistry readings during the casting. Bale, Robbie and Washington have no chemistry amongst one another by any pairing of them you muster. This hurts Robbie and Washington the most. Not only do i not believe they love each other im not certain they know each other.

The movie has nothing interesting to say and nothing interesting to do. Not textually or subtextually. Terrible script and the cast (and casting) cant save it.

I did enjoy Mike Myers and Michael Shannon playing a pair of intelligence agents who in their private time are ornithological enthusiasts.


SPOILER: show
The first film ive ever seen that makes me wish the nazis had won. if they had at least id have spared these 2 hours.

Eternals is def below it. Shang chi and BW i thought were mostly good though flawed. Hulk barely edges Etern and BP2 out for 3rd place. Cap marvel is aggressively vanilla.

Sounds like we might need to bump the "Rank the MCU" thread..... but honestly there are just too many to rank these days

No. But the lead actor looks like an Iranian James Dean.

Bought the new D&D movie last week (and now it's free on paramount+) but anywho.

I really enjoyed it and that's all I'll say without nerding out. There's a bunch of D&D purists that'll say YOU CAN'T DO THAT. yeah, well. They did.

A very nice modern day fable - big fan of the scene in the bedroom with the music playing.

“The Friends Of Eddie Coyle” - 3/4

A crime drama with absolutely no romance, great realism in the performances and a truly devastating story about the machinations, motivations and mistakes that accompany organised and disorganised crime. Robert Mitchum and Peter Boyle work well together, two naturalistic actors at the peak of their abilities. I was interested rather than entertained but I think all involved would call that a compliment.

“Buck And The Preacher” - 3.5/4

One of the very few Westerns to appropriately treat African American perceptions in the post-Abolition world. Sidney Poitier directs and stars alongside Harry Belafonte and it is a marvellous piece of movie magic that seems to have been critically overlooked and somewhat forgotten by the public.
I loved every minute of it and while it does have its issues, it’s a perfect companion piece to “The Scalphunters” in that it refuses to patronise the viewer or the subject at the heart of the film. It almost defies genre in the way it flies between drama and farce but it is too grounded in seriousness to be accused of being more than a dramatic anti-western with some fine comic relief to keep you sane while watching.

Harry Belafonte is extremely likeable in this film, and it made me realise that I need to dig into his filmography for more. Sidney Poitier must have been proud of directing this and probably quite disappointed with the lack of recognition it received given how well crafted it is across the board.

I highly recommend this film.

“Emperor Of The North Pole” - 3/4

No it’s not about the North Pole, it’s about hoboes riding the rails for free and the train conductor who takes personal offence to it.
Lee Marvin plays top hobo, Borgnine plays the conductor who kills hoboes with a fucking hammer!

This is objectively an insane film even for an anti-establishment story. Keith Carradine plays a young hobo who doesn’t quite get the gist or the point, so it’s not just a hard action drama it is a proper story actually inspired by Jack London’s time hoboeing with “A-No-1” some famous hobo in real life. I doubt they did anything that they do in this film but man is the action tense.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as a weird, random excursion into unfamiliar territory that immediately plunged into brutal violence and sadism. Ernest Borgnine and Lee Marvin are too good to look ridiculous even if they should.
Watch this film, it’s bloody nuts.

Burt Lancaster is always the best thing about every film he was ever in. I cannot get enough of him, and there’s so much left to go.

Currently enjoying “The Swimmer” before I finally watch “Elmer Gantry”. Sometimes it looks like he isn’t even trying, he’s just being himself. George Clooney must love him.

“The Swimmer” is some oddly packaged brilliance. A film about a man who swims through privately owned pools on his way home… like he’s creating a map home through pools.
Psychologically there is something wrong with the hero, he’s swimming away from his past or swimming towards the truth… it feels like it’s too smart for its own good and it probably is. A European idea but with American execution.

Jesus, this film has serious Stepford Wives energy but it’s all pointed at Burt. What do you think you are swimming away from Burt? Most importantly why is it so obvious that you are actually swimming towards it?!

Great ugliness exists in the reactions of this films incidental characters towards the protagonist. He must be a bad man to some degree, a bad man with a fucked up past that money and swimming pools and booze have hidden him from for years.

“Mummy says they’ll end up repressed!”

- Nudist geriatric.

One of many great gags in this bizarre but fantastic film.
