Man I LOVED READY OR NOT !! Love that the alcoholic creeper bro in law ended up being the unexpected hero and the husband was a selfish sociopath.

Linklater was so unsure of himself when he directed Where'd You Go Bernadette. The idea that Blanchett's character was viewed as potentially suicidle was beyond stupid.

ANGEL HAS FALLEN....oooof. I can’t recall seeing a movie in theaters that was so horribly shot and directed as this. Jada Pinkett Smith, god bless her, is doing a thing with her “serious acting face” that is something else...not helped by being maybe the dumbest written character this year. You know the beats this two hour slog is going to take quite literally 4 or 5 minutes in to the movie, and youre here just waiting them out.
THE BREAKING POINT (Michael Curtiz, 1950)
Terrific crime thriller/not quite noir from Michael Curtiz. I’ve always considered Curtiz the one who could make the most entertaining films from the 40s and 50s - no exception here. The last act and thirty minutes are some of the most exceptional and fun moments you’ll ever see. And then he kills you with a truly heartbreaking last shot.

I came into it with kinda low expectations, but I really enjoyed The Peanut Butter Falcon

Ready or not was pretty cool. I liked the humour. The lighting was really interesting. It seemed like it was shot using mostly only practical lighting, which is cool. The production design was great as well.
I loved the ending.

I rented, off the shelf, based on nothing but box art like we used to, RIVER OF DEATH (1989). And also like some times in the past, ya get tricked.

Watched a fun little noir called 'He Walked by Night' yesterday that was real solid. Widows the day before, which I thought was fantastic, and ditto with Shock Corridor the day before that. Got Prisoners coming from Netflix today. Real excited to finally see it. I slept on Prisoners for a while myself. Post up your thoughts afterwards, curious for your take. Pack a lunch for it though, it's 2.5 hours. Watched last night, thought it was unbelievable. It was somehow both a real slow burn and just absolutely crackling with tension and excitement at all times, which is a distinction I can't think of giving to another movie. Easily the best performance I've ever seen from Hugh Jackman, and in no surprise because Villanueve, it was a goddamn gorgeous movie. That 2 1/2 hours felt like half that. I'd watch it again tonight.

If you're looking for more Villeneuve, Incendies is on Netflix and it's fantastic. Also I saw that Polytechnique was on Prime too, might want to watch that again as well.

Yeah all his old pre-being famous french Canadian movies are amazing. Incendies and Polytechnique are 2 of the best Canadian movies ever made.

And I know Jackman gets most of the praise for Prisoners, which is of course well deserved, but for me that tortured neo-noir detective thing Jake G was doing really, really did it for me. He killed it.

Samara Weaving is the buoy that holds up Ready Or Not. She's legit great.
Maiden made me cry several times. Hadn't happened in awhile. Very recommended.

thank you! a good friend just recommended me Dark on Netflix so I'm checking that out until I hopefully fall asleep tonight. I have a lot of trouble sleeping in foreign places, but I feel like all the dilaudid and oxy will knock me out soon. I'll give these a look tomorrow. Luther is with Isris Elba, right? Been meaning to check that out

thanks man. i've seen so much SVU, but i honestly prefer criminal intent. i wish it was on any streaming service. goren and eames are one of my favorite detective duos. svu is just a bit predictable / too rapey for me, but i do watch it occasionally. thanks again for the recommendations and kind words.

FOX AND HIS FRIENDS (RW Fassbinder, 1975 [Criterion])
My favorite Fassbinder yet (out of Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant, Ali Fear Eats the Soul and this). A playful, funny, slightly sad walking and talking art house film with the usual Fassbinder elegance - set decoration and cinematography are top notch. Terrific piece of queer cinema that feels totally contemporary.

Watched Kubrick's The Killing yesterday. Masterful in every sense of the word.
I also watched The Meg. We just put it on in the background of our fantasy draft, and my god it was boring. It felt like they truly couldn't decide if they wanted to be campy/pulpy or a Serious Shark Movie, so instead you get this weird amalgam where none of the jokes and humor work at all but nothing feels that tense or dangerous either. It wasn't Jaws 3-D bad but it wasn't too far from it either.
