50 27% The Squid and the Whale (2005) - Rated 30 Jan 2024
"all quirk but none of the charm of anderson. i'm not sure what to make of it. straddles the line between uncomfortable and boring."
55 37% The Fighter (2010) - Rated 25 Jan 2024
"apart from bale's performance, this felt too "by the numbers" for my taste. the cast is good but their approach in handling the tone of their characters clash, a somewhat jarring experience. not sure what this movie was trying to be, a dramedy or a boxing flick, or something in between. meh all around."
63 58% Belfast (2021) - Rated 24 Jan 2024
"it's highly watchable, albeit viewing the troubles from a boy's naive viewpoint. i'm not sure the light-hearted tone of the movie jives with serious sombre reality of the era, but this decision has made the movie more palatable. branagh made his dream movie and he seems to have made it the way he wanted it."
63 58% Tenet (2020) - Rated 22 Nov 2023
"tenet is a mixed bag. nolan tries to capture the lightning in a bottle aspect of "inception", but tenet's script is not up to par. the original premise of "turnstiles" is very novel and adapted masterfully into the editing. that said, the main story arc is underwhelming, the antagonist's motivations are flimsy, and the complexity of the story need some extended lore."
60 46% About Dry Grasses (2023) - Rated 20 Nov 2023
"overrated as always, ceylan keeps on aping tarkovsky 3 decades into his career. a good chunk of this could be left out (i.e., the scenes at the vet go nowhere) if it wasn't for the outstanding perfomance of the young girl, this movie would have been quite a dud. a suffocating, anxious experience with bouts of ennui all-around. all in all, a very apt simulation for living in modern turkey, so well done there, i guess."
60 46% Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) - Rated 28 Oct 2023
""killers" just can't redeem its 3.5 hour runtime. the scenes drag and falter, editing is tonally inconsistent and there's an eerie feeling that de niro is sort of phoning it in. this story deserved a lot better, but I'm afraid scorsese is a bit too old to handle a period piece nowadays."
70 80% The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023) - Rated 14 Oct 2023
"faithful to the original without losing anderson's flair. very well paced, a bite-sized movie. short films are underrated."
50 27% The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) - Rated 08 Oct 2023
"unexpectedly funny, albeit utterly forgettable. cage does a pretty good parody of himself. the whole thing is more of a showcase for pascal's underused comedic talent. he should do more like these."
0% Demon Wind (1990) - Rated 25 Aug 2023
"saw this in a theater in middle of nowhere and the three guys wouldn't just stop talking. fucking blue aliens."
60 46% System Crasher (2019) - Rated 15 Aug 2023
"super hard to watch. zengel's performance is eerie."
