Oldboy (2003)

3.5/5

This s*** was twisted lmao. Takes the revenge trope and spins it off its axis. Even though I didn't quite love it, and found it to be confusing at times, the movie oozes with style.

Nice character and emotional moments but it felt like there was 2 separate movies going on. Chastain’s relationship with the guy with dementia and her past trauma affecting her relationship with her family never intertwined. Could’ve removed one of the storylines and it wouldn’t affect the other

It also left a lot of plot lines with no resolution and I’m not sure where all the characters ended up was best for them

Damn, River Phoenix died really young didn't he?

The "don't" was pitch perfect

3/5

4/5

The Handmaiden

4/5

Starts off slow but the 2nd and 3rd act are a masterclass, overdid it on the s***scenes tho

No idea why Trevante agreed to do this. Tyler Perry continues to be godawful

millennium mambo 4.5/5

i need to watch only taiwanese movies for a minute

Watched La Notte last night.

Beautiful cinematography, camerawork, framing, etc. Great jazzy score. Atmosphere unmatched.

It's a movie about apathy and aimlessness that felt really aimless for long stretches, but the last 20 minutes were sublime and really brought it together.

Hard to sell me on movies about bored, burned out rich people these days, living in LA for the better part of a decade drained the fascination I had for that subject clear out of me, but I think if you're going to do a movie like this, this one had enough artistry and pathos to get me into it.

Struggling on a rating. In terms of my enjoyment it was like a 7 leaning towards an 8, but it's a 9+ in terms of achieving its artistic goals.

The epitome of cool. Gotta be the 4th or 5th time I’ve seen it, and it hits harder every single time.

what is this... now

I deducted at least 7 points off my score due to Rob Morgan's hair piece.

I noticed that too he had cracker hair his s*** was straighter than mine lol

On Cinema At the Cinema.

i watched the movie It Comes At Night. it was pretty good except that i dont know what "it" is referring to. nothing ever came at night

Watched this today at the cinema, I loved every second of it

God father 3(coda version was only one available)

First off this movie is way overhated and really the only scene where Coppola daughters acting sucked was "dad" when she died.

It drags a little in the middle but overall is really good with an amazing ending

That ending is ruined in coda tho idk what that old fart Coppola was thinking removing Michael's actual death in favor of a redo of godfather 2 fading away on his face as he just sits there, dunno if be was trying to set up another sequel or something

the original death where it zooms out and shows him keel over all alone with that beautiful music playing as opposed to his father who died playing with family, great stuff

Zone of Interest

4/5

Disturbing. Sandra Huller was a standout. Really dug the detached way this was shot. Makes it even more uncomfortable to watch, along with the usage of sound throughout.
