F This Movie Podcast just did 28 DAYS LATER a few days ago as their most recent podcast. Definite recommended listening. A lot is covered about it being shot digitally. For example they mention how scary the scene is where all you see is the shadows of the “zombies” running around the corner and how digitally that scene feels captured, instead of staged.
V good movie

edit: so, I also just watched Kubrick’s Lolita for the first time and I gotta be real with y’all. It might just be his worst film (granted, I haven’t seen his first couple). The tone was fucking BONKERS and seemingly inappropriate for a story that not only opens with a murder but also mainly focuses on a middle aged dude boning his 14 year old step daughter. I kept waiting for Jerome Lewis to pop up and do some whacky slapstick or something. I was stoked to see Sellers but as it turned out, he’s barely in it and when he is he’s just plain bizarre and over the top (like a mix between Inspector Clouseau and Fu Manchu). I can only assume this flick suffered from heavy studio intervention that resulted in the uneven, dated, boring waste of 2 and a half hours that I just saw.

I kinda liked about 75% of Alita. There were some bad moments but overall I would say it was "fine". Very good cast helped it.

Might watch Not Fade Away before that Sopranos prequel drops If you're anything like me, don't do this. I mean, maybe you'll like it, but I remember it being an extremely underwhelming story for boomers about a kid in the 60s who likes rock n roll and his father who doesn't like rock n roll. If I ever had a notion of David Chase as some genius storyteller, it was shattered by watching that movie.

Out of the 2 B&N locations that I've gone too, neither of them had any newer releases for the Criterion sale. I just want to get Funny Games and Police Story.

Here’s hoping the sale is still going when 1984 is released.

Watched a pretty kick ass movie from 1980 called The Hunter with Steve McQueen as a bounty hunter in NYC. Has a gritty 70s movie vibe right down to the funky soundtrack. Killer extended chase scene that goes across rooftops, onto a train, and into a car chase that ends in a sky high parking garage. Great stuff.

Yeah The Hunter isn't near McQueen's tops but it's pretty solid.

Looks like Rian Johnson has made the Office Murder in Savannah episode into a feature.

top 10 all timer here, my muchacho fun fact: Kriegshög uses a sample from this movie on their first 7” I cried the first time I saw this in the theaters. I'll admit it. Also in my top 10. This is the film that really turned me onto Cuaron as a director...prisoner of azkaban was my favorite HP movie and then he dropped this bombshell two years later. Gravity was visually stunning but terrible script...and then Roma. The man is a master of cinematography. This long take shot is unrivaled. 6 mins, no cut away.

I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a better depiction of someone completely breaking down than that scene with Theo lighting a cigarette by the tree

The one in The Revenant is pretty impressive as well.

Midsommar was cool. I don't think it matches Hereditary, but I still enjoyed the bloated ride. Felt like I watched a Ken Russell directed fairy tale.

I'd go with that, but then again I'm not into super hero stuff.

Toy Story 4 is awesome and the funniest movie I’ve seen this year and it nailed the ending imo
Midsommar is okay but Ari Aster is going to have to quit taking from other movies so much eventually, no? Dare i use the word rip off, but damn this was Wicker Man even more than I thought it’d be. And judging by an argument two characters have about something they are working on, I think he knows it.

Just watched The Last Mile (1959) with Mickey Rooney, Frank Overton and a few others as prisoners on death row who try to escape during an execution. The entire setting is a row of cells, so you get to know the characters and feel for them when it's their time to go. Excellent acting all around. The style of filmmaking,the use of shadows, the angular shots and the score all make the film feel like a Twilight Zone episode. This was a remake of a film from '32 which i haven't seen. Highly recommended.

I loved Midsommar, saw it last night. You know, I am fine with him taking heavily from other movies if he keeps to a point where they are extremely well made tributes to his fav films. Most good things now and kinda ripoffs.
I still liked Hereditary more, but Midsommar is definitely near the top of the year for me so far.

Jeff who lives at home was corny and cliched almost to the point of being annoying but ed helms was fucking great the best part of the movie and I never thought I'd see another movie in my lifetime with Rae Dawn Chong in it.
Edit...Damn I forgot about the constant snap zooms and shaky cam is a large determent to the movie. Its like just hold it in a fucking wide shot you stupid cunt.

Haven't seen this but I just don't care for the way the Duplass' shoot films. Handheld and snap zooming constantly. Their reasoning for it is kind of ridiculous as well.
