- The Young Girls of Rochefort -
Third Demy film for me and third time I’ve fallen in love with his work. Amazing musical. So much stuff going on in every frame. You can put your eyes anywhere on screen and see choreographed movement. It’s a feat of blocking for sure. The numbers are catchy as heck and even though I have no idea what it means I’m still singing the French lyrics back to myself after the movie is over. Gene Kelly has a small role, and when he enters, it makes an already electric movie that much more. It’s like Demy is flexing by putting a cherry on top of an already perfect film.
That’s Rochefort, Model Shop, and Cherbourg. That’s the 3 I knew I should watch from him. I’m not sure what film of his to see next? Any suggestions?

The Peanut Butter Falcon - pretty good, despite the unlikely ending.

Just a pure heartwarmer for me. I felt exactly the same. Can’t remember for sure, but I think it was top 3 for me last year.

I remember seeing the trailer for it and I thought it looked cheesy as fuck, but I ended up enjoying it.

GEMINI MAN, aside from the technology, is a very 90s action movie. It looks pretty incredible in 4k, but still somehow there's some pretty bad CGI spots in it. Mary Elizabeth Winstead steals steals it.

Love me some Cherbourg/Rochefort, the singing, the colors, the cinematography, it's effortless and flows so smoothly.
A good Demy film to check out is Donkey Skin, it's his take on a classic french fairy tale, I'd definitely recommend that one.

Overall a feel good movie

Watched the french flick Girlhood last night. It lost me a bit in the third act, but it was overall a really great movie. Strangely enough, the first act kinda reminded me of This is England.

Awesome, thanks! It was between this and Lola, so Donkey Skin it is!

Has anyone seen Straight Edge Kegger?
Its seems pretty cool and obviously up the B9s alley. However, it appears to only be available via BluRay and not on any streaming platforms.

This week I watched:
Becky - Really enjoyed. 1BR - Fun, easy horror, with a slight twist. Possessor - David Cronenberg's son directed. Strange, but some cool visuals. Plus, I really like Christopher Abbott for some reason, and just enjoy everything he is in.

Just watched Near Dark for my first time and holy shit, I loved it. Paxton was such a stud. Just a pretty cool movie. Kathryn Bigelow directed it. I dunno how it took me so long to see it.

How'd you see this? It is available on the illegal downloading sites now. All the leaks have a production company watermark, but the quality was HD.

Definitely one of those movies with the legendary VHS box cover that intrigued me as a kid when my mom would only rent like Spaceballs or something but no horror for me.

I think a rewatch and some rye is in my near future.

watched Texas Chainsaw Massacre for the first time...................the finger sucking scene shocked me, don't know when that happened last
also Career Girls, which is lovely. Mike Leigh is the best.
