^been sitting on my hard drive for a while now waiting for a proper mood, i only know that's it's going to be really heavy, gritty stuff. the director's whole career is basically focused on the horrors of stalin's era, and this is his last film he's been working on for the last 15 years before his death. so yeah, serious business.

It's based on the same authors' fiction as was Stalker by Tarkovsky, also loosely. It's not really sci-fi aside from a premise of what if Renaissance never happened in the Middle Ages of a planet similar to Earth. The director was heavily censored in Soviet times and was considered among the biggest local auteurs.

wait, what is that? I can't get the yt thing to play

Watched the last hour of mega shark vs kolossus. I haven't seen acting, sets and editing like this since I watched late 80s porn bootlegs. Most realistic cockpit/2015

Under the Skin: I slept at the middle.

You missed all the A2M bits

Yes, I've seen it at a festival. It's a tough watch, don't know what else to say. And long. Oh, and - I didn't enjoy it.

Spring. Interesting and original. Dragged a bit towards the end, and a bit sappy as well. But mostly pretty happy with it, good job! They used their helicopter budget well.

The wages of fear is also amazing you guys, no idm soundtrack though.

 

1 of my old man's favourite filems

 

plus Yves Montand (sp?) is ex-police marksman Jansen in Le Cercle Rouge, 1 of the greatest crime films of all time:

 

 

Ah yes Le Cercle Rouge is good. I liked Le Samourai and Bob le Flambeur as well.

Been watching some more Cronenberg lately, The Dead Zone and Dead Ringer. Pretty good esp. the 2nd one.

It Follows (6/10)

Nice idea, but had a few plot holes and the ending was a bit shitty,

hoping for a sequel still.

It Meanders, Slowly But Resolutely

Trance. absurd.

Dear fucking God no!

The movie is perfect as it is. No need to make a sequel.

^ya no sequels needed

Pontypool - I don't quite get the love, but it's a pretty good one. I swear Grant Morrison wrote something with a very similar plot though.

The Taking of Deborah Logan - Fell asleep

Bout to amp up my Holiday Horror Shitfest with Devil's Pass and assorted other Netflix waste.

I love Pontypool.

spy - lols were had, though this director's thing is getting a bit stale now with the third movie.

My Summer of Love

10/10

Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise - I copied and pasted the title from wiki, it's not special enough to deserve both bold and italics or anything. Looks beautiful and some pretty funny moments but the plot meanders along and gets a bit tiresome. Also, the main character tries to rape someone but this is quickly forgotten about, just once I'd like to watch some anime without some shit like this in it.

Arizona Dream

 

Welp, that was one whacky film. Nice to see something as sureal and 'out-there' having such a large budget and cast of A-list actors. Lots of really cool things here, but sadly it just drags on way too long trying to structure a story in something that is inherantly trying to have no structure. Acting is top class, Vincent Gallo is purty' hilarious. But overall a missed chance at greatness.

 

Faye Dunaway still got it/10

gave it a watch, pretty good. i really like the free-ness of it, it's just so effortless and so salvatoryn.

it goes off on this whole Jesus tangent out of nowhere.

mr. turner (2014) - timothy spall portrays v well the great english painter's roughly hewn behaviour, making light of a remarkable character whose rather dreary everyday concerns r lit by a solid fuse of fine art at the cusp of industrialisation. an insightful yet rather turgid biopic. *unintelligible grunt*/10

I'm not against a Jesus tangent in anime, Night on the Galactic Railroad does it well, but this was weird. He falls for a Jesus freak who is so dull and simple it beggars belief but for some reason she is held up as the peak of morality. Despite that it is worth a watch, the ending looks spectacular.
