Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City

2021

★★★ Rewatched

This has its moments. Enough to suggest that the budget cuts may have hurt this significantly. Good thing the cast playing seasoned special forces enforcement personel looked young enough to accept candy as payment. I wouldn't be surprised if they improvised their own dialogue, too. Still, I had more fun with this than any of Anderson's obnoxious films and dug the brief but visceral action sequences here unlike the tedious gravity (and gravitas) defying The Matrix-inspired spastic trapeze CGI fuckshit of the old series...

Um, I've ran out of things to say and the energy to say them.

Train to Busan

2016

★★½ Rewatched

Slick and very occasionally funny but highly derivative and (for a zombie movie) offensively bloodless. The endless parade of snarling, snapping faces and not much else quickly grows tiresome and this movie's immense popularity still confounds me. I did find the little girl to be heartbreakingly good at the end, though, so maybe I'm not a complete cunt?

Wife's Sexual Fantasy: Before Husband's Eyes

1980

★★½ Watched

Fairly routine "pinku eiga" but worth watching just so you can have the goofy/lurid title in your Letterboxd viewing diary so everyone can know that you're a slobbering pervert.
