“I'm the gringo who always delivers.”

american made is like a mocumentary style filmed movie with voice over and narration for the whole thing. it’s cut from a similar cloth as the wolf of wall street or the big short with some 4th wall breaks too. however, the story feels like it just jumps from one smuggling job to the next. the stakes never feel high enough or clear enough. considering he is part of the whole cia situation but…

“Never ignore a man’s courtesy.”

like all of the PTA films i haven’t seen, hard eight has been one that i’ve been waiting to get to. today was finally that day. his first feature film i think, so i was surprised with the big name actors that were in it. how did he pull that off? the movie itself is well shot, it’s aesthetic and has some sleaze and grit which adds to the casino and gambling subject matter. however it’s…

probably overhated. but i can also where that comes from considering the weeknd decided to write a movie entirely about himself starring himself and his music being a character as well. it’s a full self diagnosis of him, his addictions, his toxic behaviors and everything in between. which is kind of insane to think about, like just go to therapy instead of making a full motion picture lol.

an adrenaline filled, action packed, anxiety inducing hour and forty five minutes. with pattinson front and center in a role that that is a great switch up for him and something i don’t think we’ve seen. he’s really the opposite of fletch in the way of he is a complete and total scumbag, but he is similar to fletch in his own sick and twisted way…

i’m in the minority on this one. no preconceived notions about it, was actually very excited for it for a very long time as i feel like the trailers have been out forever. doesn’t hold a candle to call me by your name as far as works of Luca’s go for my money. 

i think the endless time jumps, while not hard to follow, are just overused. i thought the extremely long drawn out final match from the slow mo…

“My mother. My childhood. I want them back. I want them back!”

Easily my favorite line delivery i can in some time. 

a nice new chapter in the mad max universe that serves as a good prequel. it felt a little too laid out for my liking, holds your hand the entire way through. it’s literally labeled in 5 sections lol. 

i prefer the action sequences in fury road to the action we get here. i feel like for…
