  • Yesterday Girl

    Yesterday Girl

    ★★★★

    "What separates us from yesterday is not a rift, but a change in position."

    An intriguing film, to say the least and one that I think left me with more questions than answers - not in the bad sense, either, but rather in the thoughtful sense.

    The first question comes with the title. I often ponder why certain decisions are made when translating film titles to English. Yesterday Girl is fine, but Abscheid von Gestern is far better. Literally translated…

    ★★★★½

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Not going to lie, I have been thinking about this film all most non-stop since I watched it yesterday.

    Oddly enough, I watched Frozen yesterday and I couldn't help but draw parallels between Elsa and Thelma - two girls who, instead of being taught how to harness, use and control their gifts, they are instead forced to conceal and withdraw from it, causing them to lose control.

    I think it's probably a really great analogy for religious suppression of one's…

    It was OK. I just wish they'd killed of Quill because I seriously don't give a shit about that character or the dickhead who plays him.

    Bullet Train

    ★★½

    Too many ideas/characters/story arcs/everything for one film.

    Whoever wrote this needs to take a good hard look in the mirror and then ask David Leitch why he allowed this.

    Pitt was good though. so was ATJ. Some annoying accents. Note enough Zazie.

    Once Upon a Time in America

    I've been trying to watch this film for a few days now and after 2 and a bit hours I gave up.

    The first hour was terribly boring, the second was more entertaining and I thought we were getting somewhere and then as I started my third part, there was 2 rapes within 20mins, one which the woman apparently enjoyed when she remembered back to it and the second of a woman that the character allegedly loved. I stopped it on the second one and don't intend to go any further.

    I don't care how popular it is.

    WHAT.THE.F&%K!

    (Infomercial voice-over voice) Do you like films that start of really good and then get worse as they keep going? Do you want to see really famous actors making really poor choices, in life and in cinema? Then look no further!

    Where do I even start? How could Bradley Cooper have looked at this script and thought, yeah sounds like a great idea. Or maybe he only read the first half before he committed? I thought I was gonna…
