It's a good watch

Rewatched these 2 classics today for the first time in over 20 years. They still hold up pretty well. Great, atmospheric animation & fun stories with some decent scares for what they are. The peak of the franchise for me.

getting ready for Megalopolis by watching random Coppola films I've never seen

amazing, 4th best I've seen from him

loved the club performance sequences, the story was so-so

this sucked

loved it. Blows my mind that this came out the same year as The Face of Another.

best coming of age movie I’ve seen in a while

Wicker Man (1974)

Weird little film.

im still mad they stepped on the TV Thread

Smfh

Zombie Island might be the movie I spun the most as a jit i added it to my list yesterday gonna watch it again when Halloween gets closer

Watched this today. I loved the green atmosphere, the quirky nature of each character, the small comedic bits, and watching Amelie overcome her fears. Also feels sophisticated to watch a French film

Great

I didn’t watch this but I saw it in passing and feel like I’ve seen it before when I was a jit

Mothers Instinct is a skip fellas

2.5/5

7/10

6/10

Megalopolis (2024)

2/10

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

I thought this really good but fell apart in the end, it really its stride in episodes 4-6.

Watched last night

just made a reaction video to Herzog’s Nosferatu happy october!

7/10

Boyhood.

Loved HitMan so decided to check this out. I remembered hearing about it like 10 years ago. Dedicating 12 years for a project like this is just mind-blowing to me, not just from the director but the actors too. It's literally a 1 of 1 movie and more people should definitely see it.
I expected to be bored but I don't think I've ever been this immersed in a movie like ever before, specially in a drama. It's probably in my top 3 of all time.

7/10

the whole idea of random sequenced chapters was like a fresh breath of air

few questionable writing ideas but its based on true events so i guess its partly true

Deep Cover (1992)

I watched last night. Apparently it’s one of those fake “based on a true story” media like Fargo

3/5

This film ass film is soooo "clever" and special and it wants you to know it lol. Idc that it was shot on 35mm, what kinda film nerd bullshit is that lmao

Ngl, the movie is gorgeous and the directing is pretty solid, but the writing was iffy and by the hour mark, I was ready for this s*** to wrap up with the quickness, until the twist of the dude being a cop reeled me back in before the 6th chapter lost me and the whole s*** turned goofy/stupid af. The lead actress was acting tho.

I thought that the main twist of ole girl being the serial killer# was pretty obvious from the jump. One of the filmmaker's M.O. seems to be about subverting !#gender and societal norms when it comes to the ills that women face especially in the dating scene/hook up culture# but it's hard to see what else the film has to say beyond that, and, depending on whom you ask, that subversion is tricky when you consider that !#the woman is a manipulative, lying sociopath, which could be mistaken for an indictment on women, but this ain't the 60's and I don't believe that it's the writer's intentions, and maybe mashing the two seemingly clashing ideas was the point, for maximum shock value.

But yeah, this is definitely not Tarantino-esque and I'm lowkey relieved by that.
