All of this being shot on an iPhone is nuts! Crazy good visuals for just a handheld device.

LI FONG. LI FONG. LI FONG.
If you are a fan of Karate Kid and Cobra Kai then you are going to love this guy.

The beginning of this film was just straight up vibes but then it started to actually get serious which was nice. Yeah I know it was pretty formulaic in of a karate movie but in that way it embodied the Karate Kid franchise. I loved the chemistry between Ben Wang and Sadie Stanley and I loved the whole combining of worlds they did with bringing in Ralph Macchio. It was funny, it was wholesome, and of course action packed with fight scenes.

Baldessari stating that “talent is cheap” scratches an interesting part in my brain. Never heard someone say that before but I think I agree.

I was going to just have a one liner about a flame thrower competition with the Russian from Rocky but I think I need to write more.

This was actually so much better than I thought it would be. As someone who dabbles in Brazilian jiu jitsu I loved the different submissions and grappling lol. And as someone who appreciates what John Wick has done for action movies I think this film did him so much justice. They didn’t nerf his character just because they are expanding the world. If anything this story just shows just have overpowered he is. Really solid action and a cool storyline. I want 3 more films of this. Ana de Armas killed it. 

I also need to watch the 3rd and 4th John Wick!

It’s like mountain man John Wick who isn’t violent but instead was friends with Remy from Ratatouille.

Solid watch. Very experimental. Something was missing though.

Uncanny. Eerie. Unnatural. Funky. Silly. Magical. 

These are some of the words you might find looking in a thesaurus when you search up the word “weird” and still no right word does this film justice.

It felt like something that the characters in Smiling Friends would have playing on their tv.

Something that is so freakishly untamed but still disciplined enough to stay on track for the plots sake.

If you like odd stuff this isn’t for you. If you like odd stuff but pumped with hardcore psychedelics then yes this is definitely for you.

One of the most accurate depictions of how dreams are that I have seen.

Meditations.

I think this took me so long to finish due to how much of a meditation it felt like. Meditation isn’t easy. This film isn’t easy and it has a lot of different parts to digest. If I saw this movie a couple years ago I’d probably tell you that it was boring but now I’d say it was a very interesting experience. One of the few movies you kind of just want to feel. I still don’t totally get the film but I enjoyed the whole Christian philosophy angle in this story.

Are music videos considered short films?
I guess this answers that question.

Go Radiohead!

It’s wild seeing how many people are hating on this just for the main reason being it wasn’t 100% accurate to the original. Just because it isn’t that doesn’t mean it’s a terrible movie smh.

Might be one of the best live action Disney projects. Nostalgia filled but still added its own touch on things. You can’t go wrong when the director also directed Marcel the Shell.

Makes me wanna chop up a convo with the guy in the urinal next to me.

Im gonna abuse the one liners from this film for years to come. 

I think I need to watch “I think you should leave now” again because Tim Robinson humor is actually so painfully funny. Besides a joke or two that just didn’t sit right with me, I think this was one of the funniest films I have seen in a long time.

Feels like a punishment you’d see on Impractical Jokers.

Or something David Goggins would do just to do.

Unoriginally original

1400th log!

My stepmom said we don’t need 100 guys vs 1 gorilla. We just need a Beekeeper.

I can’t help but enjoy these movies even if they are corny, unrealistic, and just straight up dumb.

Concept is like Sausage Party but with a bowling alley animation style. Kind of reminded me of that awful movie Food Fight. Deep ending.

Makes me want bread from Texas Roadhouse.

Symbolism for the win

You can’t help but not give old shorts like this the respect they deserve. It gets my obligatory standard 2 star even if it isn’t great. Film is 134 years old.

This is going to make a ton of people mad but that’s what having an opinion is all about I guess. 

Visuals and the music were great. I can’t knock on that at all but what I will knock on is the terrible age gap, power dynamic, and predatory concept the whole film was pretty much about. They could’ve avoided this by making Timmy’s character older but it just didn’t sit right with me and in my eyes that makes it an automatic half star.

West Virginia core

Just because you stack a cast that doesn’t mean you create some masterpiece of a film. I don’t think the Coen brothers do it for me like they might for other people. You can applaud the storytelling but in a way it becomes too much at some points. Pitt carried the film.

Even in the animation world. Fincher cooked.

I don’t think I’m a huge animation kind of guy or at least this kind of animation but this had me hooked. It got straight to the point with the story. Great suspense.

Rage-bait the movie

Fincher actually might be top 5 of all time.

Felt like the Teen Beach Movie sequel. Ifkyk.

Crafty editing but nothing special.

Alexa play Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits

This is when you cue some sad tiktok audio they use for those memes of random things (Fiona Apple or Mitski or whatever)

David Lynch Brain Rot

You haven’t seen pretentious until you’ve looked at YouTube reviews analyzing this short film

It’s like Neo but instead of the pills..you have rocks

Should’ve saw this on a Weeknd (unfunny pun intended)

At some moments I felt like I was at the bottom of a swimming pool.

This self-discovery or reflection from The Weeknd isn’t just raw and vulnerable but it’s odd. Odd timing at least. I heard awhile back that he wanted to rebrand to just go by Abel but it seemed to not really stick. Is this film a sign for that to come? I don’t want to say that this tried too hard but in some ways it did. Some questions were left unanswered but that’s okay. I do know that this film wouldn’t have worked if it was about any other artist. I really like The Weeknd so as a biased fan I think it was a good watch. If you aren’t a fan of him then I don’t think this might work for you.

Also, imagine having Barry Keoghan in your ear yapping about he’s your brudder.

For sure a unique approach. I see by the reviews that the vote is very split for this film.

Jon Bernthal always plays such an angry dude

Time to get back into googling how to fake levitate.

Maybe being obsessed with magic tricks when I was a kid made me more observant to what was going on in this film. Even still knowing what was going to happen at some points, I really enjoyed this masterpiece of a film.

One of Nolan’s best.

Pre gamed this one with gas station cannolis (don’t knock it till you try it..they were good)

They really casted the whole Avengers of Italian actresses for this film. You got some Sopranos representation, some Godfather representation, and Goodfellas representation. 

I like the random sayings sprinkled in the movie as they were pretty wise.

The ending song was beyond cringe though lol

I’m spoiled with the movies we have today and the movies I grew up on. Everything is so advanced and still improving drastically every couple years. So..when I watch something like this I try to keep in mind the time it was made when I give it a rating. For its time, this was revolutionary but in today’s world it doesn’t do much for me. Mickey cool tho.

Kind of cool how you look back far enough and see how different techniques came to the scene of it all.

This is what you get when you combine a bunch of popular film bro movies but in a way where it surprisingly works. A funny joke or one liner as a review wouldn’t do this movie justice. I haven’t been hooked on a film in a long time as much as I was with this one. I was pretty tired when I turned this one but the thrill and suspense legit woke me up. Christian Bale is without a doubt a top 5 actor of all time.

Elite storytelling.

Oddly philosophical. 
No chance the director was sober directing this.

Nicolas Cage thrives when he’s doing some weird trippy project. Dude was in his element. A mind bending tale about a guy just trying to surf but the locals won’t let him. Mind bending, colorful, gross, random, and just everything you wouldn’t expect. This film gave off vibes like the film Greener Grass so if you enjoyed that you’ll enjoy this even more.

The ending really made it for me.

If you like adult animation comedies you’ll like this Hulu special. I know it’s not Halloween but it’s still a solid watch any time of the year. A bunch of animators from different shows/youtube channels come together and made horror themed shorts.

Second half comeback.

I don’t like musicals and I think the first half of the movie dragged but at the end I see the magic everyone raves about. I wish I could rate it higher but I’m glad it stuck the landing at least.

Is this Greta Gerwig Barbie canon?

I felt a little mulholland drive magic but just for a split second in this short

Oh my goodness. The dark horse film of the year comes from Marvel. 

Every group needs its frontman and this one has it in Florence Pugh’s Yelena. Marvel is actually back. Like so back. Perfect mix between comedy and actual serious themes. I’m ready for more Marvel.

If only more films added to the lore of the world by having supplemental short films to go along with it.

Such a Jared Leto kind of role

I figured I’d watch the movie because I’m reading the book for my pharmacology of chemical dependence class.

Yes, it was a good film with a good message but I found the storyline to be kind of choppy.

Chalamet was great.

Not many heavy dialogue films can appeal to me as much as this one did. It’s been on my watchlist for a bit now and I’m glad I finally got to it. An up close look at three sisters dealing with their dad slowly dying but also dealing with the differences among them. I really liked seeing Elizabeth Olsen in this. Great film.

Are goatees in?

Bro wasn’t even supposed to be there today.

2019 was NOT like this movie.

Cyberpunk noir?

This starts out not so entertaining or at least I thought it didn’t. I finally got around to watching the OG and I really liked the sequel. I wrote a college paper on 2049 which actually turned out decent. Anyways…this really stuck the landing in the end. Rutger Hauer actually killed his role. I think I read that he also improvised some of his end dialogue which is crazy. Digital effects were good and the storyline did get a little confusing but hey it was a pretty layered storyline. What makes me give this a higher rating than what I planned for is the fact Ridley Scott pretty much was the pioneer for this cyberpunk movie genre. Yeah, there was cyberpunk before him but he put it on the map and for that..hats off to him.

I also make paper swans

Irish dance jump scare!

I’m glad I saw this because it did not disappoint. Story was entertaining from the very beginning. Ryan Coogler cooked and Ludwig Göransson is always so good at composing.

A punch to the gut.

David Lynch knows how to pull at your strings. This was so dark yet warm. It puts things into perspective and really makes you think about how we treat one another. 

Also, why did I just find out that Lynch had a role in The Cleveland Show?

The M in Malek stands for masterclass.
