Hand rolled cigarette. 2021. Hong Kong.
7/10
Interesting gangster film from Hong Kong, lightly layered plot, but the main one is a pusher who rips off the big boss and has the small time criminal who is linked to him, desperate for money, shelter him.
Kinda slow after a initial tense set up. But the ending is sudden and violent and (mostly) ties the film together.


The last days of Sodom And Gomorrah. 1962.
3/10
Biblical epic with a run time of two and half hours. I lasted on hour before i gave up and clicked thru to the end.
Impressive for the settings and amount of cast and extras it had.
The story was steady but slow. Acting was fine. If it showed anything it was human greed and selfishness has always been there and once you get dragged in, it can be blinding.


Chinese doctors. 2021. China.
7/10.
Drama about the initial outbreak of corona virus.
The film doesn't show how the virus actually starts, it's centered on a infectious disease hospital in Wuhan and how they dealt with the patients who were arriving slowly then very quickly on mass. Within 10 minutes it's ramped up the tension due the spread of the covid and the pressure that the staff were under coping with the onslaught of patients. From there is shows how the state deployed more doctors and shut down the city.
The 2nd hour of the film is when it starts to focus more of individual stories. This slowed the film but gave it a emotional theme of just how and who was being affected, from the delivery driver with a pregnant wife to the doctors who were worn out but struggled on.
The timeline deal with only the first four months of 2020 when the outbreak was at its worst, and does kinda wrap it up in a nice little, package. It would be easy to dismiss the film as propaganda especially when it comes to dealing with the second half. But that would be write off the first half of the film, which is a pretty good depiction of what would have been happening worldwide in hospitals, and continues to.


The Trip. 2021. Norway.
10 outta fucken 10.
A couple go to a family owned cabin with the husband planning to murder the wife, but things don't go as planned.
Really good Netflix original, (one of the few) that has flashbacks and little things that are said or referenced that play a important role later one.
Simple but very funny with some pretty sadistic violence and alot of of really funny moments that are consistent and well thought out.
Noomi Rapace was a stand out for her role as the wife. Having seen her in Lamb which was somber and delicate, then to throw caution to the wind in this and take and deliver a beating was quite a achievement.
Well worth viewing.


What happened to Monday. 2017.
8/10
Action/thriller starring Noomi Rapace as 7 characters. All named after days of the week so they can survive but only leave on whatever day they are named.
Sets up the story nicely and then fast forwards 30 years. When one of the siblings (Monday) fails to return the others have to find out what is going while being hunted.
Good thriller with alot of action and drama that is both engaging and tense. Rapace plays the siblings with a slight degree of difference and the effects that are used to show them all are pretty good. Does have a cheesy sort of vibe going thru it but enough tension to get the viewer invested in what is going on.


Barb and Star go to Vista Del Ma. 2021.
6/10
Two middle aged women go to Florida and end foiling a plan to kill hundreds of people.
Funny way over the top comedy that doesn't take itself at all seriously and is just a casual laugh. Very colourful with a definite 'Austin Powers' feel to it. The two leads also wrote the script, they had a natural chemistry and bubbliness that really shone thru and effortlessly carried the film.


A million ways to die in the west 2012.
Unrateable pile of shit.
Garbage comedy western.
Flatmate put this on, i tried to watch it, fell asleep twice. Seth Macfarlane stars, directs and co wrote this film that really just shits it pants from the start. He is good at voicing cartoon characters but as a on screen actor, he's and idiot. His delivery of the dialogue is like a stand up comic, surrounded by good actors, as he is in this, is shows he should have stayed behind the camera. The script is full of lame, crude and uninteresting jokes. It was something i tried to watch when it came out and i gave up then. Getting thru it with sleeping proved impossible.


Wilkolak. (werewolf) 2018. Poland.
7/10
A group of death camp children who survived are taken to a house to live. The dogs that were at the camp now surround the house.
Good horror with a decent amount of tension. There are few adults that appear and fall victim to the dogs but it's mainly the kids and how they try to organize themselves.
Situated mainly in the house it keeps it dark and gritty with a 85 minute run time.
This ensures a good pace with a solid amount of twists in the plot.

Petite maman. 2021. France.
6/10
A woman goes to clear out her mothers house after she dies with her young daughter and husband.
70 minute slow drama with a small cast from the director of 'Portrait of a lady on fire.' While there the mother leaves and the little girl becomes friends with a girl her same age.
It becomes apparent that this is her mother. There is no crazy time travel or anything and no big deal is made about it, even when the girls figure it out.
Nicely filmed but a little confusing as to why they whole event takes place. The interaction of the girls is fun and simple. They are at ease with the fact that one is the mother of the other and there is a simple reuniting with the mother at the end.

The grotesque mansion. 2021. South Korea.
8/10.
A digital artist looking for a new story vists a run down apartment block and talks to the administrator about some of it tennants.
Collection of stories that link together in little ways with the designer having his own one at the end.
Each chapter is different, but still has it's own creepy build up and unique plot. Plenty of naturally chiling moments make it enjoyable and memorable watch.


The green butchers. 2003. Denmark.
7/10.
Two employees of a local butcher open there own shop. They get very popular rather quick due to their 'great tasting' meat.
Interesting film that has a funny start with alot of bone dry humour. It does lose a bit of it after the halfway point but still maintains a steady interesting story. Even thou it deals with cannibalism, the director/writer had enough material to work with that this was a sutle plot line.

 

[Ravenna]

It was a good movie! So much better than I anticipated! 😁

I have seen both of those movies. They are both very good!
I watched Encanto this morning. Very beautifully animated.
And I loved the message. Much like Paranorman.
Hey, being normal is boring....😁

Melancholia. 2011.
8/10
Dir. Lars Von Trier.
A woman with depression gets married, her sister has anxiety, a planet is going to crash into earth.
Devoid of any garbage about trying to save 'humanity' the film doesn't for the most part have a plot. The first half shows an expensive wedding with some characters that are quirky, bitter and just fixated on power. From there it changes as things get quietly, but not obviously bleaker.
The two main characters reflect perfectly both sides of being human, anxiety over material things, status and our frustration with others. The other a state of numbness, indifference and realization that even with everything, it can't make you happy.

[Duffin]

Night of Bloody Horror(1969) ~ 6/10 with just a 20-something Gerald McRaney(you must have seen him in many thing over the years but Major Dad was huge once lol He was very convincing in his role here)

 

[Jon E(vil)]

Le Samourai. 1967. France.
7/10
A hitman is pursued by the cops and the people who paid him.
Slow burn crime drama with little dialogue. The film plays out naturally with the main character, a lone assassin, trying to stay ahead of the police and the people who paid him.
Not a high action film, it relies alot on a simple plot and how he gets around. When there is talking, its fills out the story with nothing left to waste.

Bond's No Time To Die

Might get around to Spider-Man sometime

The VVitch. 2015.
10/10
A visually impressive, atmospheric, dramatic horror. Set in pilgrim times when the first english came to America. A family is banished from their town and they have to set up on their own. Things start to go down hill when a baby goes missing, and the crops fail.
Suspicion falls on the eldest daughter as little things are said and unseen horrors create tension within the family.
Solid film using the beliefs, language, clothing tools and accounts witchcraft of the time.

- Very funny movie. I loved it. Ryan Reynolds must be one of my favorites if not my all-time favorite actor. 😁
“Free Guy,” a bank teller who discovers he is actually a background player in an open-world video game, decides to become the hero of his own story…one he rewrites himself. Now in a world where there are no limits, he is determined to be the guy who saves his world his way…before it is too late.

 

[Demonic69]

1945 - The Savage Peace. Great documentary I'd not heard of before, about the end of WW2 and the brutality doled out to the German POW's and civillians by the liberating forces. Many instances of rapes and murders by the British and American forces, but the Russians took it to a new level in revenge for the extermination of many russians during the campaigns on the Eastern Front. Worth a watch.
