I have a drinking problem? Fuck you, Peck, you're a Mormon. Next to you we ALL have a drinking problem!

Wasn’t expecting it to be this hilarious, awesome cast—awesome time. The closet scene with Brad Pitt might be the funniest 1.5 seconds in history. I have to think about it, but might be top two in the Coen Brothers’ catalogue for me.

But always Jay, out there in the starlight, someone is cheering you on…your biggest fan. 

So beautiful, so vibrant, so touching and so refreshing. I’ve been craving for a film to make me feel like this again, and leave it to east-asia animation to do so. I just could not get enough—an ethereal and dreamy world.

Do you like to dance? I know a school where they teach dances.

John Wick is the greatest aura farmer we have ever seen. The first half was about as rock solid as you could get from a spinoff. Im a sucker for club action sequences, and a bigger one for those involving De Armes. I have nothing good to say about the 2nd half, except for the babayaga himself—impeccable on-screen presence.

It’s hard to explain this other than it feeling like the climax of the action genre as whole. I could watch this 10 times over and still take for granted all the one take hand-to-hand sequences on display. Greatest foreign action film ever, immaculate style. Iko Uwais you are 1 of 1.

Ordinary people under extraordinary pressure, Mike. What the hell do you expect? Grace and consistency?

Beautiful criterion restoration, seeing Mann’s colours pop like this is what we were made for. Corporate corruption—the raging impact of journalism, a lost platform. Seeing Pacino go bonkers with Mann behind the helm is one way to make a drama go from good to great.

You'll never read another book that hasn't already been written... or see a film that hasn't already been shot.

Our lives are not defined by any one action. Our lives are the sum of our choices.

What a bittersweet ride. It always sucks seeing a franchise you love go. Not nearly MI’s best, but it does more than enough for me. Being submerged into that underwater submarine sequence is otherworldly. There is something very Kubrick-2001-esque with how harrowing the soundtrack and how deafening the silence was. The movie is filled with absurd sets and high stakes, final scene amplified. Just incredible work. Certain gripes—this was made as if you had never seen an MI film before, with characters you don’t really care for. Also very evident Rebecca Ferguson presence was missed, she elevated this franchise on every pedestal possible. All that aside, it’s so important to see this on the biggest screen possible. Enjoy the shadows, Mr. Hunt.

Life is short. I need to make the most of it. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I'm a walking cliché.

It’s fascinating how much depth is involved in writing a film about your own psychosis all the while diving into a screenplay of a movie adapting a novel. It’s a bit too much, and fever dream feeling at times, but I’m sure that’s how Kaufman wanted it to feel—in trying to get the viewer to grasp the maze that is his mind.

There's something... wrong with me. An emptiness.

It’s been a while since a MCU film, has you know, felt like an actual movie. Not a sluggish CGI-infested coagulated mess aiming to be something “bigger”—but a movie, with sound writing and sound direction. I’m not going to sit here and say this is phenomenal, but it’s a step in the right direction, and belongs in the upper half of the franchise. Real satisfied with how they did Sentry, and for the first time in half a decade, am looking forward to what they do next.

You keep dancing with the devil... one day he's gonna follow you home.

Cinema has always been the perfect agglomeration of sound and symbolism to me, embodying what art is and what it truly means. Ryan Coogler just gets it. Using the soul behind black history, the inherent connections they have with the world, and the hardships they faced—all while making it a VAMPIRE film. Not wanting to let go of that which you love, even if it causes you to lose all that you love. Demons arising from our past knowing they aren’t what limit us, rather what fuel us to keep going. Im so grateful I have a 70MM IMAX theatre near me, because this deserves to be experienced on the biggest screen possible.

Wisdom is holding two contradictory truths in our mind, simultaneously, Hope and despair. A life without despair is a life without hope.

Sometimes I wonder if I’ve changed so much is my wife even going to recognize me, whenever it is that I get back to her.

That might very well be the best opening sequence ever put on film—Spielberg at the pinnacle of his work. Raw, unfiltered hopelessness filled with the tiniest beam of heart. I think the film carries a bit too long halfway through, but that ending sequence is just as brutal and incredible. Easily one of the best war films of all time.

It’s still pretty unfathomable that Heat actually exists. How does Mann consistently show us that in a world succumbed by loneliness, we truly are never alone? The two greatest actors of all time wandering the night sky and being stuck in an endless chase pre-determined by fate. I couldn’t help but sit there staring at the credits once they rolled out—because what else can you really do after experiencing a film like this. Rest in peace Val Kilmer.

Babylon 1o2b2i 2022 - ★★★★ https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/hamadc7/film/babylon-2022/ letterboxd-review-852354729 Thu, 3 Apr 2025 12:08:12 +1300 2025-04-02 No Babylon 2022 4.0 615777 <![CDATA[

In a 100 years, when you and I are both long gone, any time someone threads a frame of yours through a sprocket, you will be alive again…A child born in 50 years will stumble across your image flickering on a screen and feel he knows you like a friend, though you breathed your last before he breathed his first. 

So ambitious, chaotic and raw. It’s exhilarating and exhausting from start to finish—and I believe Chazelle fully intended it to be that way. Though I think the pacing in the first half didn’t match the speed to which the film was actually moving, the second half much better fits the tonal aspects I felt it needed, contrary to the norm. An unfiltered roller coaster depiction of Hollywood and an unorthodox love letter to cinema. Will age beautifully as time goes on, Damien just rocks.

I’ll you as the symbol of love’s forgetfulness. I’ll think of this story as the horror of forgetting. 

Watching this felt like picking up and reading a journal—in late 1950’s Japan—of a couple lost in time. Intimate, poetic and beautiful.

One late autumn night, the disciple awoke crying. The master asked, "Did you have a nightmare?" … "No," said the disciple. "I had a sweet dream." "Then why are you crying so sadly?" The disciple wiped his tears away and quietly answered, "Because the dream I had can't come true."

Kim Jee-Woon & Lee Byung-Hun vengeance stories I will never get enough of you. I just wish the romance was explored much more, hindered its potential immensely.

Do you
The 21st night of September?

No dialogue but manages to make you feel every emotion possible. Almost comes across like a collection of short stories/films that demonstrate the feelings on hand. Filled with heart and loneliness—and THAT ending….yeah.

I have run out of time. I have lost it all. So I can't work fast enough to catch up. I can't run fast enough to catch up. And the only thing that catches me up is doing my magic act.

Was there any better way to start this than on a gloomy, rainy day? Michael Mann I wish I could live within your blue nights. Unmatchable aesthetics.

Shin Godzilla 5l2x1i 2016 - ★★★½ https://letterboxd.conexionsite.com/hamadc7/film/shin-godzilla/ letterboxd-review-841261718 Fri, 21 Mar 2025 08:05:45 +1300 2025-03-20 No Shin Godzilla 2016 3.5 315011 <![CDATA[

This is the reality. Everything else is nothing but a dream. 

The first half reminded me so much of my childhood. All the best parts that resided in watching older Japanese Godzilla films on the VHS growing up. Truly how my love for Godzilla begun. I do think the second half hinders a lot for me, but that midway point still did more than enough.

If you do not surrender, may the limbs rot and die. 

You know, I often find myself asking—is this not one of the ten greatest films ever made? It doesn’t take a shaman’s eyes to see the threshold this film exceeds with each ing scene. You’re dropped into an extreme situation, in an unprepared world, and see our characters adopt each other’s philosophies in dreams of obtaining some sort of closure and solace. Encapsulating the pain and suffering of the innocent AND the chills of the killer with that final shot? No words. Forever perfect.

Oh, you bad, now, huh? You bad. You gotta shoot somebody now, huh? Well, here I am. Come on, shoot me. You bad, right?

Raw and wrenching coming of age in the world that is urban, gang ridden, America. A ton of underlying messages and tones in this one, still as powerful then as it is now. Lawrence Fishburne just steals the show.
