45/100

In hindsight, I should've saved my comments about drone footage in movies to this review instead of the one for Prey. But it's a comment for movies in general, so just stick it to this one as well, if you please.

Ambulance is bound to have some exciting scenes, as there are a million of them (or only a long continuous one), but since it's all pretty much the same, it gets tedious - fast. Tough to care about…

44/100

Utterly exhausting to watch, due to its frantic and manic editing style and overuse of handheld cameras - choices that, with the help of some additional decisions, leads to some poorly executed and almost incomprehensible action sequences. It also either forgets or doesn't care about its own few small emotional side stories (which I could've guessed would be the case right away, because of how they're treated from the get-go). But, its energy - even though it creates exhaustion…

Saw Predator for the first time just over a month ago, and haven't seen any of its predecessors, until this one, which I've gathered is a prequel of sorts. It looks good, it smells good, it feels good, and yet it's not a film that caught my interest in any significant way. Amber Midthunder is more than solid in the lead role, and the predator itself is nasty and fun. Concluding sidenote: It's really too bad that drones have…

71/100

Fifth watch, first in five and a half years. My opinion stayed more or less the same (had it somewhere in the range of 69/100-72/100 before). It is what it is, but DiCaprio being sent to jail, on duty, and the The Departed title card comes up, while I'm Shipping Up to Boston starts blasting - it's a heck of a kick start to the movie, 18 minutes into it. Otherwise, the best thing about this remake of a…

77/100

There have been a few movies that I saw (once, twice, thrice, whatever) in a very impressionable time in my life and certainly in an important and early stage of my interest in movies, that I then didn’t see for a number of years, and now in the last couple of years or so have rewatched. It always brings out some anxiety beforehand, as to how well they will hold up for me in a different time, with different…

49/100

She's all of a sudden a blank slate, and therefore creating weird dynamics, conversations and situations, and it's, on some level, kind of "fun" to watch (even though it's an anxiety driven movie), but I could never figure out where my attention was supposed to be at, or why it even should exist. It ultimately landed on the score, which I very much liked (learned afterwards that Nicholas Britell is the composer), and on the interviews - or whatever…

80/100

Sixth watch - saw it often back when, over a short period of time, and now I hadn't seen it in five and a half years - and no change in my opinion or rating score. A collection of off-puttingly entertaining scenes that sculpts a fully-functioning and modernized version of the classic rise and fall story. Half of what makes The Wolf of Wall Street great is the mentioned entertainment level, which is very high all the way through,…

83/100

Second watch, first in over five years. Only had a star rating from before, but I estimate that it would've been somewhere around 65-68/100 on the larger scale. Huge leap up, anyway. The first 40-45 minutes of Lost Highway are pure - as if descended from space - movie magic. They’re inside their house - they leave it sometimes, as one does, but the house is in complete focus - and someone else is too. It’s moving very slow,…
