Years ago. I remember having a good time with it but also being disturbed and looking past things that are normally big movie no-nos for me lol. Guess I’ll find out soon if it still works for me.
Been going to the library Blood Simple - 7.5/10 The Big Chill - 6.2/10 Perfect Blue - 8.5/10 Apocalypse Now - 10/10
Good Boy - Definitely an interesting experience, but more so as an experiment in film making than a great narrative story. There’s a ton of interesting ways they edit, frame, and use prospective to get around the constraints they had and also to really put you into the point of view of a dog. It also is striving for something more than just the gimmick of shooting from a dogs point of view. Without giving too much away, it uses that to explore our relationship with our pets and puts a twist on a dogs ability to sense things going on with ourselves that we can’t see or feel. It is still rough at times. It’s a very short movie, but it doesn’t always feel like it. There’s some pretty bad examples of telling and not showing. Though I’m willing to forgive that a bit because I’m sure it some of that was down to budgeting constraints. The biggest weakness is the relationship between the main human character and the dog. There’s a montage and one other small scene, but often the human just seems like an asshole to his dog and it ends up hurting the movie.
The Life of Chuck - 3/10 I was super disappointed. Stephen King is my favorite author and I like what I’ve seen of Mike Flanagan’s work…but I didn’t care for this. It tried to be really profound and philosophical, but it didn’t land it. I liked the dancing though.
i loved it. i haven't read the story but i don't think the movie was actually trying to be that deep. most ppl on here seem to agree with you tho
Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle - 9.5/10 Wow. I still think the anime is overrated, but this was so hype. The animation was mind blowing. The music and the fights were amazing too. I was disappointed when I read the last arc would be a movie trilogy, but the 2.5 hours flew by. It was essentially 3 big fights and flashbacks that fleshed out characters. But if you’re already a fan of the series, you know what you’re getting into…top tier fights and less emphasis on plot. Better than Demon Train. The CGI was really well done and actually enhanced the animation instead of looking phoned in. Every scene in the castle felt lifelike. If you like the series, see it before it leaves theaters, since Crunchyroll won’t be getting it…which is super surprising.
I had a half day yesterday and went to see Bugonia by myself. 10/10 Insane performances and script. I’ve only seen Poor Things by this director and I enjoyed that. Loved this too. If you haven’t seen it yet, go in blind like I did. There was a point in the movie where I thought wouldn’t it be crazy if it turned out she actually was an alien. As soon as she broke out of the ambulance, I knew I was right haha..
Sorry, Baby 6.5/10 As someone who has been a victim of SA I can certainly relate, just sort of boring.
