i really liked it! its refreshing to see a dramatic thriller like this, where the plot/revelations arent outlandish in its twists, or overly simplified. it was a good, intriguing and rational story with great performances all round.. and as an added bonus, a SUPER satisfying ending! fuck that was felt good to watch. |
Yup, same here. Although I expected something more brutal and tragic like The Devil's Own http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118972/

Space battleship Yamato revival.
Junk. The live action was more enjoyable than this. Revival had some really cool action set pieces, but th story was unbelievably dumb... And yeah, they save earth, but really who gives a shit. The fuck is even the point when we couldn't save Pluto?

Radius (2017)
6.5+/10
It's rough around the edges,it lacks budget, the acting is mediocre but the story is somewhat original and interesting.The ending is satisfactory. It reminded me a bit of Memento.

American Teenager Simulator 2002/03 (Lady Bird) - 6/10
A little genuine look at adolescence and coming-of-age, well acted, with a charming tone and awkward in the right way. Doesn't offer particularly memorable moments, and the high praise from hollyjournos remains a bit of a mystery for me, though I would probably never be able to fully decipher it unless at some point I accidentally get reincarnated as a Californian girl.

20th century boys
Finally finished the trilogy. Have to give it to the films... They managed to convey a long ass journey like no other. It was easy to believe I was watching a story taking place over a long period of time, with a lot of change, development and meaty events worthy of the running times.
I really loved the mystery. The concept was neat and the story had me hooked. Sadly I think it suffered from trying to draw from the original manga too much, when it should have just tried to be its own film and just be satisfied organically explaining what was needed in the film instead of cramming in everything it could from the manga. Characters come and go too quickly... Plot points started then dropped without being fully developed if they weren't primarily important... I also sometimes found it a little confusing at times, though I got all the core parts and felt happy with the overall story - jusy not the writing so much. There was just so much going on, I feel like this would have made a fucking fantastic tv series or anime. I'll also admit I have a bit of trouble with Japanese (well, Asian In general) names... One name starting with s, I can remember... Hit me with 2, and I'm in trouble remembering which was which... and for a film all about the mystery of who a character is, and all the actions between various characters in multiple time frames, that's a big problem 
BUT YEAH, really neat story, a mostly satisfactory revelation.. uneven writing, and maybe not the kind of ending I had hoped for, but all in all, very enjoyable.

Colossal
7.5/10
Thoroughly enjoyable. First one that looked kinda interesting from the RLM year-in-review list of movies. Glad I decided to give a it a try.
The "reason" part of the story was kinda meh, it was so nonsensically vague that they might as well not have bothered to include it.

The last 15 minutes were amazing, great work by margot robbie. Hell, great work by her and pretty much everyone else in the movie.

The story was so bad executed, it was necessary to wrap up what really happened in 5+ minutes recap at the end... Laughable.

The Snowman 3/10
This movie felt like its missing every second scene,nothing makes too much sense and the focus during the first hour is on something entirely different than the rest of the movie. I´ve read that its from a book and that they had problems shooting the movie (time and money,script was missing stuff) but instead of re-shooting and fixing this mess of a film they just cut it weirdly together and released it, calling it a day. Felt like a german TV movie rather than a full blown hollywood movie with A list stars. Whats scary about the movie is Val Kilmers face, if you have his image from "Top Secret!" in mind you are in for a surprise
Happy Death Day - 5.8/10
Semi-enjoyable half-horror half-twen comedy, leaves the "why´s" and "for what´s" a but unresolved and you´ll forget half if not all of the movie the second it stops. Popcorn cinema but not the freshly made one you get inside the cinema but premade popcorn you buy from Lidl.
Jigsaw 6/10
Nice new trap concepts,minimal story conclusion and an offending ending that left me questioning the time i spend watching the movie. Did i enjoy the movie? I don´t know,not really i guess. I expected more,a final and ultimate SAW movie that ends it all. Instead, it was a cashgrab and the sour and smelly milk of franchise milking.

heres the thing i dont understand about ratings. why would someone rate a film at above average if they didnt like it, especially when they found it to be offensive, frustrating and just a soulless cash grab.
*narrows eyes* have you been using the ign ratings scale again...

Asia-time adventure continue...
Assembly. Some really neat war scenes, but I felt like the second half of the film was a bit of a letdown. I didn't mind that the film slowed down and shifted from action to drama, it's just that it got a bit frustrating. The behaviour, decisions... Just the way the story played out wasn't as enjoyable or interesting or rational as I'd have liked it to be. Still, a pretty good Chinese war film.

Last Flag Flying - 7,5/10
A bittersweet story about friendship with melancholic feels involved, but also hilarity coming from the odd trio formed by Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne and Steve Carell. Their performances, different personalities and chemistry were the true protagonists, they carried the movie and the quality banter never made it tiresome. Not among Linklater's best works in my opinion, but it's definitely an enjoyable and charming ride.

i dont know why i downloaded this. i havent like the franchise since... well... the first film was KINDA well made, but i never really liked the story.. and as the franchise has gone on, its only become more warped and sillier. the game doesnt even exist - if it ever even did... the rules are random, no one really ever has a chance (unless the psycho-in-charge decides he wants you to live because you're equally as fucked in the head).. its basically about various psychopaths killing for giggles (and even the victims have a broad range from 'deserves it' to 'pretty fucking unreasonable'...), and ive never found those kinds of stories entertaining... i enjoy gory films, but i dont enjoy zero-story mean spirited torture for giggles kind of shit.
i read the summary on wiki, and then skipped through the films to watch the deaths without context. hopefully when saw 12 (or whatever this shitty franchise is up to) comes out, ill remember how stupid these films are, and wont bother grabbing it.
ON THE OTHER HAND, i also watched zatoichi, which is a really enjoyable film. many chuckles to be had, excellent cast, great music, and some neat fights.

only put it second because id seen it before (so it wasnt a first-time 'oh my god' post, and more of a 'yup, still great' comment), and i wanted to end the post on a positive note. i didnt write much, because what more needs to be said about it?
jigsaw, on the other hand, deserves as much scorn as can be heaped upon it.

Ingrid Goes West
7/10
Second recommendation from the RLM 2017 list, it was interesting enough to keep me watching.
The subject matter is really up to each person's tolerance for the shitty millennial-internet-culture. To me that was meh, don't love or hate it, just a convenient way to make it contemporary.
Got to hand it to Aubrey, she was pretty good in this one. She really felt like a genuinely disturbed person who seem normal when things go fine, but when she starts feeling neglected and things start going to shit, she seem to have a hard time understanding why it's fucked up what she's doing. Pretty good performance.
Not sure about the ending.  Spoiler: | Maybe letting her die would have been a better end, giving this mentally unstable person celebrity status felt messed up to me. |

takeshi is hit-and-miss i would say. not great, BUT sometimes the role is perfect for him and his various visual ticks. zatoichi, i feel, is a great example of a perfect role for the man.
