I like any movie where I get to keep saying "get 'em boy!" over and over again

This was as good, if not better, than a handful of Godzilla films I've seen before

Dial M for Murder 1e2r39 1954 - ★★★★

Mon, 26 May 2025 15:19:10 +1200

Chief Inspector Hubbard served mad c*nt the entire time

Final Destination Bloodlines 4z5o6f 2025 - ★★★½

Mon, 26 May 2025 07:40:05 +1200

It's hard not to get engrossed in the rube goldberg machine of it all and watch with morbid curiosity as death comes for it's victims. Bloodlines arguably has the strongest interpersonal dynamics in the franchise and it's refreshing to see it handled with care

Run Lola Run 4t93z 1998 - ★★★★★

Thu, 22 May 2025 13:37:22 +1200

If someone wants to know what you mean when you describe a movie or scene as "kinetic" needs only to watch Run Lola Run. This was an absolute thrill ride

The French Connection 543p57 1971 - ★★★½

Tue, 20 May 2025 16:11:36 +1200

I can see the influence this has had on many of the filmmakers I love but this movie feels like a relic to be examined and appreciated rather than actually enjoyed. Minus the car chase scene, that was exhilarating

]]>

The Brutalist 272oh 2024 - ★★½

Mon, 19 May 2025 11:59:24 +1200

Wonderful talent behind and in front of the camera but I'm left disappointed with the story and characters. I found it hard to stay engaged and was left wanting much more from the ending.

It was only after watching this did I learn that Corbet also made Vox Lux. You're on thin ice, buddy

Mainstream 6m2t6r 2020 - ½

Mon, 12 May 2025 08:54:29 +1200

You should be jailed for fumbling this amount of talent and resources

Magazine Dreams 487364 2023 - ★★★★

Mon, 12 May 2025 08:41:09 +1200

This was on my radar from the buzz it had gotten in the festival circuits. Despite the controversy around the main star, the performance at the center is nothing short of phenomenal. This movie certainly isn't for everyone, especially when one of the main draws of the story is seeing a person who needs serious help just descend into a spiral. The Taxi Driver influence is front and center while still feeling like it's own unique story.

Sister Act 6i26e 1992 - ★★★½

Thu, 8 May 2025 15:26:54 +1200

RIP Pope Francis I'm sure this was your favorite movie

Spring Breakers 431w19 2012 - ★★★

Thu, 8 May 2025 15:24:48 +1200

James Franco's presence is one long sustained jump scare

Fri, 2 May 2025 15:59:43 +1200

Everyone threw their whole p*ssy into it, including Aronofsky

Snakes on a Plane n4q3h 2006 - ★★½

Fri, 2 May 2025 15:58:00 +1200

Too dumb to be taken seriously. Too serious to be fun. The saving grace was the music video during the credits

Sinners 3v6y41 2025 - ★★★★

Fri, 2 May 2025 15:55:50 +1200

I'm calling it now, this is getting a handful of Oscar nominations

Smiley Face 153f8 2007 - ★★★

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 05:17:57 +1200

Fun with a lot of great performances and cameos. I was most drawn to Araki's style of visual humor and use of audio to enhance gags

Black Bag 45217 2025 - ★★★½

White people truly can learn empathy as long as good ol' American football is involved

Mortal Kombat 6c234a 1995 - ★★★½

This soundtrack is a 5/5, obviously

Hackers 1b1n5f 1995 - ★★★½

Pom Poko 1b6h63 1994 - ★★★½

Mon, 7 Apr 2025 08:20:01 +1200

How did a movie involving so many plot-relevant uses of testicles manage to make me feel melancholy?

Rounders 5a5z45 1998 - ★★★½

Mon, 7 Apr 2025 08:17:31 +1200

It's a shame not a lot of people around me have seen this movie because no one understands why I do a funny little Russian voice sometimes

]]>

Drag Me to Hell 2w2048 2009 - ★★★

Mon, 7 Apr 2025 08:16:13 +1200

It's good to see that Sam Raimi decided to go back to his horror roots after the Spider-Man trilogy, but it's also disheartening to see people of color reduced to mostly stereotypes and plot devices

]]>

Poetic Justice 4w5li 1993 - ★★★

Thu, 3 Apr 2025 05:26:00 +1300

Why was everyone treating Janet Jackson like she just broke up with her boyfriend?

SHE WATCHED HIM GET SHOT AT POINT BLANK RANGE WHILE HER TITTIES WERE COMPLETELY OUT. SHE'S NOT OK.

Give her a minute, damn

Rat Race 5w6d13 2001 - ★★★½

Any movie that ends with Smash Mouth is a national treasure in my book

Pan's Labyrinth 1l2f4j 2006 - ★★★★

Thu, 3 Apr 2025 05:18:54 +1300

Having seen this a handful of times already, I paid more attention to the set design this time around. I found myself quite impressed to now notice that the general's quarters have these huge cogs on the background that make it look like he's inside of a giant watch.

Blade 556660 Trinity, 2004 - ★★½

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 15:04:23 +1300

Ryan Reynolds really has been playing exactly the same character for years. His jokes land like a thud for me and the whole movie lacks any of the charm from the previous two entries.

Once people figure out that they can put their own condiments on their hotdogs, this snack shack is screwed

Opus 5e2n4u 2025 - ★★★

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 12:57:32 +1300

This movie turned out to be the one thing that kills the longevity of a story: being perfectly in the middle. Not bad but also not great.

This may slap if you didn't know Midsommar existed

Top 10 of 2023 2ts6l

Wed, 3 Jan 2024 19:05:07 +1300

My favorites of 2023. I lean towards genre films and blockbusters

Past Lives
This movie is expertly crafted on pretty much every front. From the script, to the performances, to the cinematography, Celine Song is in total command that I'm blown away this is her first feature. This movie hits with a profound emotional punch that it will have you examining your own life after it's over, which is what great art does.
Poor Things
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Barbie
Godzilla Minus One
Oppenheimer
When Evil Lurks
May December
Bottoms
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
