Okay. Okay okay okay. This movie is fucking bananas. And I loved it.

I have a fondness for crazy, devoted, violent, obsessive weirdos in movies. Combine that with a high-concept idea and some truly bonkers moments, I'm hooked. So Borderline was a real treat for me!

I loved the opening of the movie, the entire Celine Dion scene (and all of the music drops honestly), Ray Nicholson/Paul's silly psychosis, and every single facial expression that Samara Weaving/Sofia made. There were some things that I could call from scenes away, but those things didn't feel trite, they felt on point.

Overall, I had a great time with this one! It won't be for everyone, but it was pretty fun for me!

Gosh, rewatching this after 10ish years was a real treat. The actors are perfect in their roles, the wintry setting of a bleak, rural Canadian small town is great, and the transmission (pun indented) of the virus has stuck with me since my first viewing.

This movie has it all:
- Great costumes & makeup
- Bright red blood
- Beautiful shots
- Gender envy
- PUPPETRY!!

I LOVED Mickey 17 and I cannot wait to show it to my friends ✨ loved the creepers, loved the humor, loved the vibe of a Mothership campaign, loved the underlying message of learning how to love all of your parts without feeling guilty… it was so good!!

And now the less wholesome stuff:
-Mickey on his knees, helping Nasha get prepared for her shift, getting head pats for being good??
-Nasha caressing and then pinching/tugging 17 and 18’s cheeks in one fluid motion made me want to explode???
-18 helping Nasha get 17’s shirt off???
-18 reaching over Nasha to play with 17’s hair, HELLO?????
-The way that 17 and 18 stand and move differently— meek and beaten VS upright and threatening
-18’s deranged feral dog behavior + his willingness to kill a fame-obsessed capitalist pig

Anyway! I loved it!

Caught so much more on my second viewing!
I can’t get the music out of my head. I still love the shots of the broken guitar neck. And I’m still caught up in the transcendence of time and space in The Scene. 

Truly can’t stop thinking about this movie.

better than I thought it would be, but still very....2010s sci-fi action.

This wasn’t great, but at least I had fun!

Oh my god??? Excellent work.

-THE aspect ratio change
-The entire scene that blends the past, present, and future
-The subtle color shifts that happen mid-scene that align with the mood
-The music, all of it was just so good
-The vampires having to actually follow Vampire Rules-- needs to be invited in, averse to garlic, burns in the sun, the sire vampire puppeteering all of his "children" and knowing everything that they know...

UGH what a good fucking movie.

My only critiques:
-I needed 3 more music sequences
-I NEEDED Sammie to stake a vampire with that broken guitar neck!!!

Britt Lower, my beloved <3

Dark subject matter, hilarious jokes. Really liked it!

More movies need PowerPoint presentations!!!

watched this, and then the real life Pope died. oops.

But for real, this movie was incredible. Every actor gave a great performance, and I loved the (unspoken and noted) tension between characters.

This was so much fun!! Like, I thought it was going to be something completely different, so I was pleasantly surprised to have a movie with goofy characters and fun action. I love Ladybug frequently referencing what his therapist has said, I love his handler Maria, I love everyone's names.... it was fun!

Although, ngl, part of me was like hmmmm.....this is NOT what Experience Japan's videos have taught me about bullet trains........... /j

this was the final movie of April 2025 Trash du Jour and it nearly killed me

TWICE I've seen this thing. TWO TIMES.

This was way cooler than I thought it would be! That final part? fucking awesome.

The only thing I don't understand is why the toothbrush?? Why??

Showed this to JD and Aryn, cried through the last 1/3rd (like always)

OKAY.......this movie was way sillier than I thought it would be, and it was a fucking BLAST. A crowdpleaser, full of blood and guts and humor-- nearly a farce, honestly. But it was so much fun to see!

Also, seeing Adam Scott in the first few minutes of the movie, after recently finishing Severance, was a delight.

ooooh this was so good and so goddamn scary.

same vibes as Fantastic Planet-- terrifying visuals and a deeply compelling plot.

I highly recommend it!

Sitting next to Garret, and behind the other homies, was really great because I got to see everyone's reactions throughout the movie. An absolutely amazing time.

Outside the limit of our sight, feeding off us, perched on top of us, from birth to death, are our owners! Our owners! They have us. They control us! They are our masters! Wake up! They're all about you! All around you!

I wish I could show this movie to everyone.

Cool concept, terrible execution. Does not attempt to hide the religious messaging behind it all-- in fact, it feels almost as if the movie is quite proud of the Empty Religious Nothings that it had to say.
