yeah i watched it on a bootleg dvd that was in black and white, but it still ruled. i'm gonna try and get ahold of that criterion dvd. Actually I think the one on Werk has the 56 page book. Plus 5 shorts. I have at least three versions at home. I would buy it every time it got upgraded.

Once Upon A Time is hands down my favorite Tarantino to date. What a fucking ride. So good.

Luce was pretty good. Lots of topics are tackled and the handling of topics ranges from effectively subtle to being too on the nose. It works better when the topics are discussed with actions rather than the ones that are handled with dialogue, to where it comes close to leaning into Crash territory. Kelvin Harrison Jr kills it.

HITCH-HIKE with Franco Nero is a crazy ride. Exploitation to the max and some things I didn't realize were going to happen, happened. Great thriller. Looks nice too. I thought it was just a remake of the Ida Lupino film...it is not.

Perdita Durango aka DANCE WITH THE DEVIL is crazy 90s in the best way. Gave me feels of Natural Born Killers and Devils Rejects. Javier Bardem haircut is close to being as bad and weird as in No Country. Rosie Perez so baaaaad.

Watched this German drama called All Good, it's also known on Netflix as All is Well. It's a reserved, but rough drama about a woman who gets sexually assaulted by the brother in law of her boss of her current job. It mostly focuses on the effects it has on her life by staying silent about the assault. Quite good.

I'm always impressed by his movies. Noticed a similarly in Arrival and Enemy. Just that quick 2 second shot of the spider in Enemy and the same quick shot of the spider-like alien the main character sees while sitting on her bed in Arrival. So brief but so effective. Would love to see Villanueva do a full on horror movie. what if I told you....that Enemy is a horror movie

I would consider Enemy psychological horror to an extent.
Prisoners is a straight up thriller and legit one of the best made in the last decade. Denis is probably the best director working on the planet at this moment.

fucking love Prisoners. I know its a cliché to say "I was on the edge of my seat" but I really felt it in theaters. Bummed that Hugh Jackman didn't get that much love come award season because that's my favorite non-Wolverine role of his

It was a great time in the theater

Whenver I see Paul Dano is in something I just assume it's going to be fantastic.

You're gonna have to explain to me how Jason Goes to Hell is your favorite movie in that series. I love bad movies, I love slashers, but I cannot think of a single redeeming quality to that movie. Nothing interesting or outlandish happens, there's I think one cool kill, and it is boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooring.
Taste is subjective blah blah but I'm gonna need some answers on that one.

The music in Jason Goes to Hell is fucking atrocious, adds insult to injury. It is the worst F13 by far.

Malick's A HIDDEN LIFE looks great. But you can never tell with a Malick trailer
LITTLE WOMEN looks...good. But its got this vibe about it that screams if Merchant Ivory made a 21st Century Indie twee movie that I cant shake. I loved Lady Bird so I'm excited for it

Speaking of, anyone have any knowledge on when Cold War will get a proper Blu release? I’m cool waiting another couple years if it means just going straight to Criterion. Criterion just announced they are releasing it in November

Malick's A HIDDEN LIFE looks great. But you can never tell with a Malick trailer I need it to be great. I need a new Malick to obsess over and I need it to be in my theater for more than 5 days.

After years of the same old shit it was nice to watch them poke fun at the series.I mean you guys are acting like Friday The 13 isn't a garbage franchise to begin with.Its funny to me that you latch onto that and not the fact I enjoyed Xanadu. Or it could have just stopped after part 2.

That makes a lot more sense. And I latched on to that because JGTH is probably my least favorite horror movie ever. It's like 85 minutes and feels longer than Gettysburg.

Which sucks cause I was excited for that. It looked like they were making fun of Man of Steels you were meant for something far greater crappola.

Anyone ever see Too Late? It's on Netflix so I peeped it last night and I was goddamn riveted. It's such a tonally weird movie; part of it feels like it was filmed as a comedy even though the dialogue and script don't bear that out and it also very much as a Lynchian noir feel with Tarantino/Sorkin dialogue. Legitimately every single character interaction is fantastic, you can't take your eyes off of it.
And there were some legitimately shocking, well-crafted twists and brilliant tracking shots.
I wanna watch it again tonight. I truly cannot think of another movie I've seen that felt like it.
