tragic downgrade. idk what it is about netflix movies but they all have a very specific overlit digital sheen about them that isn't necessarily inherently bad, but still very disappointing to see in a sequel to one of the most beautiful looking films ever made.

when that saucer of milk came out I had to walk away

Not good but probably one of the more entertaining entries. Also I would die for Critter Queen Bianca.

I still really like this movie but damn does it seriously lose steam once they get to The Emerald City. But hey, it took up like 90% of my flight today so no complaints here.

“I don’t wanna sound like a dick or nothin, but it says here you’re fucked up.”

oh YEAH that’s what going to the movies is all about

I’m incredibly torn on the “shot in one take” gimmick. As I was watching this, I assumed that look was faked and that there were cleverly hidden cuts throughout. I have since learned that I was wrong and they DID, in fact, do it all in one single take, shooting the film five separate times before landing on the best take. Knowing that they actually did manage to pull that off without hiding cuts is incredibly impressive. (Faking a oner is stolen valor, either go all the way or edit your damn movie normally!) 

Anyway, despite being an impressive production, this is my ultimate issue with this style of filmmaking: we’re talking more about HOW it was made instead of talking about the actual content of the film, which in this case was also pretty cool! I don’t think I’ve quite seen a “drug-induced zombie apocalypse” like this. Pretty freaky and effective. A fun little watch.

Technically solid, but really feels like it keeps forgetting it’s the fifth Chucky movie. 
Also MAJOR points deducted for Chucky being fully made of plastic instead of having blood & guts wtf 😤

Lmao the most 2004 horror sequel to ever exist probably

- Musical performances were mostly fantastic.
- production and costume designs were actually amazing (somewhat held back by lackluster lighting, but it surprisingly wasn’t as bad as some of those out of context screenshots made it seem) 
- Elphaba as a character is kind of annoying and is written like a baby’s first attempt at “the villain who turns out to not be evil but just misunderstood”, but Cynthia played it well (and also her voice is amazing, obviously) 
- Ariana is really the bright spot of the movie for me. I had no idea she had such great comedic chops. 
- Overall plot of this is pretty dumb, which generally wouldn’t matter for a musical, but they made this thing almost 3 HOURS long and the story’s barely even halfway through. 

Disclaimer: I have never seen the stage show or read the book.

Finally got around to this (thanks again, Joe Bob), and it surprisingly exceeded some of my expectations, despite ultimately not being exactly my cup of tea. I respect what they were going for and I don’t in theory have a problem with SOME meandering shots of walking (though I it my squirrel brain was struggling a few times), but I think the excess of empty space makes for a somewhat lackluster viewing experience. It gives it the feel of a 30 minute short film that was padded out to make it feature length. Though I really think the biggest weaknesses are in the ending (not a bad ending really, but not quite as satisfying as I would’ve liked), and in some of the sound mixing of dialogue. I have a fairly nice sound system at home, yet I was struggling to make out anything the characters were saying. This works for some sequences where characters are talking off in the distance while we’re following the killer, but it was  particularly bad in the campfire scene. I dunno if the actors just weren’t annunciating enough or if my sound settings need adjusting, but I couldn’t understand a damn word those kids were saying. 

As for the positive, this movie at least has some of the gnarliest and over the top kills I’ve ever seen (looking at you, yoga girl 👀), and the character design of the killer was very well done. 

All in all, glad I saw it, but I probably won’t revisit.

Can’t believe I’d never heard of this — thank you, Joe Bob’s Last Drive-In! This movie’s surprisingly well-made with a lot of very fun pseudo-experimental shots (I’ve literally never seen an “inside the telephone receiver” POV shot before), and despite taking a bit to rev up, it pays off with some completely insane kills. The practical FX were impressive (spotted Greg Nicotero in the credits so that’s no surprise). 

There’s nothing like watching a goofy slasher where you can tell a bunch of friends got together to make a movie and had a great time doing it.

film equivalent of dangling keys in front of a baby

Kinda rocks

Great Value Paul Atreides and the Starship Troopers

Not a great movie, but overall fairly effective. (I had to physically get up and pace around during a certain scene. 👁️ 🩸) It’s a simple premise with a paint by numbers plot, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing considering what kind of movie this is. At the very least, worth the watch for Jeffrey Combs.

dance scene is an all timer.

Rewatched December 2023 and they are…a lot worse than I !

1. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

   Best in the series. Perfectly exemplifies the vibe that people think of when they think of Harry Potter. 

2. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
3. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

   So blue 😩 and is the first of the series to have characters wearing normal clothes instead of school uniforms, which I hate. Totally kills the whimsical aesthetic. 
   Thankfully this has a really solid story, which makes up for everything else. 

4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

   Worst looking one. Complete beige/grey sludge. 

7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
8. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

   Worst one all around
