Rogue One 2x3c3c A Star Wars Story, 2016 - ★★★½

Thu, 15 May 2025 11:26:46 +1200

Doing a rewatch of ROGUE ONE and while good, it REALLY benefits from the character building of the Andor series (Andor himself is not a very fleshed out character in the film, the show adds multitudes). The film still also relies on the knowledge/love of the first movie to work. The third act fucking slaps and is perfect though (and If I'm not mistaken that's the part Tony Gilroy took over and did). Most of the stuff with Saw Guerra is really not good (the bor gullet scene is just bad). I still think it's a flawed film with some truly amazing moments that really is elevated by the storytelling/character work of the Andor series. Also The film needed more Donnie Yen.

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 16:31:11 +1200

Aussie Texas Chainsaw, but the prom version.

Jennifer's Body 1ya4x 2009 - ★★★★

Sun, 13 Apr 2025 14:59:20 +1200

I'm so glad this film has gotten its much needed critical reception. Wicked smart and fun, and a killer soundtrack tie this very timely and ahead of its time horror movie.

]]>

The Stunt Man 1u6s1v 1980 - ★★★½

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 14:33:48 +1200

If you like the "movies about making movies" genre this is a really good one. A real character study and Peter O'Toole steals the show.

]]>

The Dogs of War 583j69 1980 - ★★★

Thu, 10 Apr 2025 12:03:54 +1200

Interesting merc flick with a good bit of fatalism and an attempt to have some sense of message.

]]>

A Minecraft Movie 112w1i 2025 - ★★

Mon, 7 Apr 2025 07:27:37 +1200

Took my kid to see this because he loves Minecraft. The kids in the audience seemed to like it. There's likely a good move in here rooted in the Momoa character, but the actual result of this film is a hodgepodge of ideas tied together with non-stop Minecraft fan service and the dumbest performance from Jack Black you could imagine.

]]>

Nightmare at Noon 2q3135 1988 - ★★★

Sun, 6 Apr 2025 16:11:58 +1200

It's very dumb, but the stunts are really big, and good and and early Hans Zimmer score is a ton of fun.

]]>

Tombstone 3hh47 1993 - ★★★★

Thu, 3 Apr 2025 13:49:10 +1300

I fucking love this movie and Kilmer's performance steals the show in a movie full of amazing performances.

]]>

Real Genius w5m1w 1985 - ★★★½

Thu, 3 Apr 2025 11:55:36 +1300

The best of the 80s nerd focused comedies because it manages to be the only one not obsessed with sexual assault as a plot point. It also excels in having interesting characters you root for.

]]>

Sudden Fear 33n1q 1952 - ★★★½

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 16:46:12 +1300

How did they have any furniture left in this movie after Crawford and Palance chewed it all up?

]]>

Peeping Tom 6v701d 1960 - ★★★★½

Mon, 31 Mar 2025 14:40:17 +1300

Absolutely stellar. A psychological thriller about a man that kills women, but it's not about sexual proclivity. Truly interesting, original, and well written.

]]>

Body Double 585j3o 1984 - ★★★½

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 18:51:37 +1300

Smut, but classy.

The Snow Queen 693a2a 1957 - ★★★★

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 16:57:19 +1300

*Soviet Animator puffs on a government issued cigarette*

"You see child, whilst this movie is made for you, as a good citizen you must learn that life is hard, winters are cold, and death comes for us all, yet there is still hope for some small joy to be found. Now be a good child and go to your reindeer riding lessons."

]]>

The King and the Mockingbird 4kys 1980 - ★★★★

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 15:51:28 +1300

Cool piece of animation history. At times groundbreakingly original and creative and at other times simple, and almost dated. A compelling story and a good villain tie it together with a nice score.

]]>

Gator c5017 1976 - ★★

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 12:24:50 +1300

The stunts are great, but this movies yo-yos from gritty dark crime noir to goofy hicksploitation film so much you'll get "boy this has aged like milk" whiplash.

]]>

White Lightning 721n3e 1973 - ★★★

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 09:45:06 +1300

Car chases and good ole boys.

]]>

The Italian Connection 8850 1972 - ★★★

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 07:23:37 +1300

Some really impressive chase/fight scenes and a really slick/cool score. But like many exploitation films of this era this movies HATES women and kills them just for quick plot points.

]]>

The Taking of Pelham One Two Three 55r4n 1974 - ★★★★

Sun, 30 Mar 2025 05:35:46 +1300

So dang good. A mystery, a heist, a character study and a tour of NYC accents.

]]>

I Love a Man in Uniform 6l2y4z 1993 - ★★★½

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 17:31:53 +1300

If this was an American film it would've had a bit shootout at the end. I appreciate that it went a more subtle yet interesting route.

]]>

Siege 2s4zu 1983 - ★★★½

Sun, 23 Mar 2025 16:05:11 +1300

A great Canadian B Film that hits a little too close to a potential American reality today.

]]>

Charade 17227 1963 - ★★★★

Sat, 22 Mar 2025 16:02:50 +1300

I wish more films had such witty, sharp, rapid fire dialogue like this. This movie rules.

]]>

K 4k565s 19: The Widowmaker, 2002 - ★★★

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 17:07:53 +1300

Do you think after Point Break Bigelow just decided she'd only make dour, soul crushing movies about men in dire situations?

This is a quality film (Ford's wandering tour of vague ideas of Eastern European accents aside) but it's a downer.

]]>

The Shooting 6wt1j 1966 - ★★★

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 14:08:54 +1300

An interesting bit of character study with some great actors when they were young.

Sun, 16 Mar 2025 16:16:58 +1300

It's a soap opera with cowboys and it's wonderful.

]]>

Busting 686y53 1974 - ★★★

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 16:05:42 +1300

An incredibly sleazy early buddy cop movie that's incredibly well shot with some great performances but doesn't care to villainize anyone but the street level thugs and sex workers that Gould and Blake's characters harass with entrapment and sad busts. The movie does attempt to show that this street level crime comes from higher up places, but isn't interested in actually addressing that or saying much about it. It's fun to see many early buddy cop tropes shown here likely for the first time in a film, and the outdoor grocery shootout is fantastic.

]]>

Jolt 2v3545 2021 - ★★★

Tue, 11 Mar 2025 14:25:32 +1300

Fun and straightforward action flick that talks about penis and balls a ton.

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person 4j3r47 2023 - ★★★½

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 18:48:10 +1300

Not often will adorably cute be the best way to describe a movie that has multiple murders in it, but in this case this is absolutely how you'd describe this.

]]>

The Trip 6c721h 2021 - ★★★½

Sun, 16 Feb 2025 17:14:50 +1300

Hundreds of Beavers 1qd9 2022 - ★★★★½

Sat, 15 Feb 2025 16:47:05 +1300

I highly recommend watching this with a very excited 6th grader who just learned about the beaver fur trade in social studies last week. Truly an amazing movie viewing experience with my kiddo.

]]>

Skin Deep s5w73 1989 - ★★★

Sun, 9 Feb 2025 18:51:29 +1300

John Ritter's charisma carries a morally dubious plot about about a really awful person.

]]>

Teachers 12t4p 1984 - ★★★

Sun, 9 Feb 2025 16:59:03 +1300

A little ham-fisted at times in the story, but a fantastic cast with some good performances.

]]>

The Shadow o6g1z 1994 - ★★★

Sun, 5 Jan 2025 16:02:36 +1300

Kiddo wanted to watch this one and imhe really liked it. He had already watched a ton of lore videos on King and the Skullcrawlers and sounded like a biologist explain not to me during the movie.

]]>

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 475k2i 1974 - ★★★

Sun, 5 Jan 2025 13:35:45 +1300

Latest into a new year for my first film ever, but this is a fun one and I got to enjoy it with my kiddo. Classic Kaiju movie, fun and silly.

]]>

Wicked 52571s 2024 - ★★★★

Thu, 26 Dec 2024 13:34:23 +1300

This is how you adapt a big Broadway musical for the screen. Bright colors, big sets, and huge dance numbers. Rooted in what made the Broadway show good, and then using the medium of film to go bigger and more spectacular to stretch the spectacle more.

This proves this wonderful stories from stage can be wonderful in the hands of filmmakers who understands why we love them. Between this and Spielberg's recent West Side Story, we know they can be fantastic.

The Star Ratings were mostly from my gut reaction of overall craft of the film immediately afterwards. If you're favorite is towards the bottom, awesome for you! Films are subjective, what we enjoy is influenced by different things. At the end of the day all films are awesome and a ton of people worked their butts off to make that movie.
