Death Becomes Her

1992

★★★★½ Liked Rewatched

“Life’s ultimate cruelty…it offers us a taste of youth and vitality, and then makes us witness our own decay.”

30+ years before The Substance there was this little gem from Robert Zemeckis. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid, but it hits a lot different now as there are many adult jokes that flew over my head as a kid. A dark horror comedy about attaining the unattainable, everlasting youth and all the downsides that come with it.…

Grand Theft Hamlet

2024

★★½ Watched

Trying to stage a theatrical play inside of GTA 5 is not an easy task when everyone is trying to constantly kill you. The stress, organization and collaboration of several like minded individuals was a chore in itself and part of the process that made up the majority of this documentary.

Good for a few laughs, but nothing more. Dancing naked aliens…

This movie is a whole lot of nothing. Shitting in a bucket, hanging panties in the sun, blowing kisses to the moon thinking it’s all high brow art. Oooooh these poor people. Oscar bait that Hollywood will pat itself on the back for giving the best picture award to, while they party and sleep in their mansions, never seeing the irony.

Instead of making a bullshit movie with no script about desert dwellers and poor folk doing nothing for two…

Making 'The Shining'

1980

★★★★ Watched

Kubrick famously burned all deleted scenes and excess footage for his movies so studios couldn’t tinker with his vision and demand recuts. Seeing this is almost surreal at times. Probably the most intimate “behind the scenes” feature I’ve ever seen. Everyone hanging out, getting daily rewrites, brushing their teeth, sweeping up elevator blood. Little Danny made several dollars acting in this movie…at least $600, but he leaves the business side of things to his parents. Jack Nicholson oozes strange charisma…
