im seeing it tomorrow, in the blackest metal country on earth - Finland

you mean Norway?

I put on and snoozed in and out of Syndromes and a Century this morning, in preparation for night shifts. Such a lovely ambient film.

Kicking off first shift with Event Horizon.

At some point I need to make a list of all the Sam Neill b-movie horrors to see which ones I've missed out on. Same goes for Bill Pullman.

Good Time , 2017

what the fuck did I just watch? 

 7/10

thelma - kinda blueballed after watching this, expected more from these two guys. visually it's very pretty and elegant, all very painstakingly and professionally shot and directed, the score is good. a couple of really effective scenes. but overall it's a bit of a messy pile of all kinds of ideas, themes and allegories that don't really synergize to create a really engaging and moving experience. repressive christian upbringing is bit of a too easy target for those guys, they showed before that they can handle more contemporary and complex stuff. this scandinavian affection for elegance and understatement seems to be masking a not too well thought out script.

the ritual

 

enjoyed it more than I thought I would after reading the disappointed reviews.

Not bad, not great. Fairly good. 6.5 /10 is about right.

That retro synthwave tune near the end came out of nowhere.

yeah, that was a funny choice for a climatic scene.

Don't Breathe

8/10

really good

yeah remember really digging this one, there's going to be a sequel:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6246322/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_2

 

How would a young girl with a million in cash go to California and spend that money or use it without raising suspicion of where she got it? You could you live off it and work and put all work money in savings. Life time of laundering maybe. Put in off shore account (risky). I still can't figure out what I would do. You couldn't buy a house outright.

The Myth of the American Sleepover (2010)

Debut feature of David Robert Mitchell (It Follows). Shot on a budget of $30,000, starring an ensemble cast of unknowns. Disarmingly sweet, little to no plot, entirely driven by character moments. Takes place over the course of one night, the last day of summer before school. This is how I like my coming-of-age movies: quiet, observant, and contemplative with no hint of melodrama. It’s more about the moments that could happen and don’t happen due to adolescent idiocy and confusion. 10/10

more night shift fillums, Silent Running and Clash of the Titans (1981).

Been fun to find out what my colleague chooses to watch from my dvd wallet when I come back from a 3hr snooze break and relieve him to go on his.

I've been paired with a middle-aged conservative muslim guy and tonight it looks like he watched Hausu and Frankenhooker.

Pretty sure I saw Clash of the Titans on TV when I was a kid, but I have no real memory of it.

Silent Running I'm not sure I've ever heard of, but the plot summary sounds fucking great.

Yeah those two are both nostalgia-fests for me. Clash of the Titans should ideally be watched on a bank holiday weekend when you're 8 to 14, paired with Jason and the Argonauts.

Oh man Jason and the Argonauts is so good. Skellingtons forever

Call me by your name - apricot/10 - great score/st - 100% relatable to feelings of lost love

3 Billboards - 7/10 - weird chopped up film, Frances McD ace, needed a better ending, some terrible dialogue

Lady bird - 8.5/10 - Sacramento looking nice, funny moments, a sweet movie

Also love the venn diagram of young actors in these films..hollywood is such a trend based industry...its almost like actors are given turns

Lady Bird - way too cute for my taste. I want a spin-off with the father though.

Thats a great idea

childish- and at times kinda silly. some of the worst casting i've seen for a film in recent years.

5 dead guys in a liquor store out 10

Ain't no Charles Bronson

I loved Lady Bird but after reading that the initial script was over 350 pages long I kinda want to see a miniseries version of it. Although there’s something to be said for a movie that does what it wants and gets out of your face after 90 minutes.

Silent Running is mint, Bruce Dern in full effect, he nails antsy troubled souls. Prescient for our current environmental malaise.

Compuer says "naaaaaaaaah"

if you like early/mid 70's US filems, The King of Marvin Gardens is more low key & recommended. Dern is the aspirational eejut to Jack N's brother....Atlantic City never looked more run down, like Blackpool in a mist of piss.

couldn't make it past 30 minutes, skimmed trough and watched the end just out of curiosity... bleh...
