  Speed Racer 2008

  ★★★★½ Watched 02 Jan 2022

  Fully understand why this bounced with audiences and why its partial Robert Rodriguez Spy Kids green screen nightmare is a turnoff for most people but there is so much creativity present here that I am surprised that not only did it not forever change live-action anime but that we haven't seen anything else as bold as it before.

  There hasn't been any cinematic moment in a long time that's given me goosebumps quite like Speed doing a barrel roll through the finish line. Like holy fuck. When the movies are great they are fucking great.

  ★★★ Watched 29 Jul 2020

  Maddening that Thurston Moore had to go and cheat on Kim Gordon, destroying their marriage, and Sonic Youth, in the process. Dumbass.

  The Monopoly of Violence 2020

  ★★★★ Watched 22 Sep 2020

  Seeing a smattering of people on here saying that they wish this gave more context to the gilets jaunes protests depicted here, and do you really require that to understand the framing of the film?

  Mélanie Ngoye-Gaham, a social worker depicted being hit by a police grenade in the back of her neck gives a powerful monologue after rewatching the footage of her attack:

  They award the violent. They give medals and bonuses to the most violent cops. So only…
