Possibly the biggest series of mistakes I've ever made in my life was joining a number of movie focused groups on Facebook, with the most egregious mistake being joining the New Yorker Movie Club group. Hey you want to find the most concentrated collection of soft brained cine"philes" ever? Have I got the group for you. A post today made me start sweating while I was still in bed (i didn't get out until 11:30am). Basically this idiot was makingβ¦

Under the Silver Lake 2018
Well, what is there to say about this one. Maybe a couple things: Number One, this has been on my watchlist for forever and it was nice to finally watch it. A weird dream! Also, this really fucking worked for me. I think the script really goes for broke and pushes things onto some interesting rabbit trails(or should I say skunk trails), and the direction is bold and it presents a very unified vision. It follows that vision to aβ¦

Before Midnight 2013
Whew what a swift uppercut of a film! The first two movies in this series were light, breezy, and adventurous, with all the world ahead of these folks. The world is these folks now here in Before Midnight, and Jesse and Celine must deal with the consequences of building their lives around the impossibly romantic events of the first two movies. The playful banter that these two so easily slip into has morphed and become wilful needling, a method ofβ¦

The Watch 2012
"Neighborhood watch, what a fucking joke."
Vince Vaughn's nesting doll routine is funny as hell but not much else works because Akiva Schaffer did such a shitty job of directing it. Making a boring movie about aliens is a cardinal sin of filmmaking

Encanto 2021
I thought that Coco and Moana were good but that doesn't mean I want to see Disney make the same movie over and over again but with different people groups each time, notching movies like some sort of corporate Thanos collecting woke infinity stones in a (so far successful) attempt at controlling droves of fans to mindlessly defend them at every mild criticism. This is a mishmash of the first two movies I mentioned plus Raya and the Last Dragonβ¦

Prey 2022
Hell yes man, fuck. This is so sick, what a badass take on the Predator franchise. This shit should have surely been in theatres, there are a couple of sequences that would motherfucking rock on the big screen. This plays like a sleeper crowd pleaser, a word of mouth hit, the predator we know and love looking sick as hell as usual, in a cool new facemask! working its way up the fighter chain through the early 1700s Great Plainsβ¦
