97 89% Millennium Mambo (2001) - Rated 15 Mar 2024
"It comes together slowly. And then the snow falls in Yubari."
94 75% Past Lives (2023) - Rated 15 Mar 2024
"Painful and personal. The circumstantial chemistry of the two leads is actually the weakest part, but then again, perhaps that's the film's realest element: who can ever explain the reasons of love? What do we talk about when we talk about love... I still can't get over it all and found out too late what it all meant, how much of me there was in them...and now I'm empty...let that be a lesson?"
30 1% Dune (1984) - Rated 04 Mar 2024
"An excruciating watch and a textbook study for future filmmakers of what-not-to-do. The worst of '80s tropes, a bloated mess. Its cardinal sin is exposition. Terrible casting of good actors. Lynch seems to have saved the day with some of the set design (I assume it was Lynch.) Watch with the new Dune to fully appreciate what Villeneuve has accomplished."
93 70% Dune: Part Two (2024) - Rated 04 Mar 2024
"Flawed; very good, not great. Gorgeous/perfect first half. Hollywood strikes again, eliding controversy. Ending re the book is frankly sloppy. Crux of the problem: focuses on a straight (White) Muslim masculinity at the expense of an Arab-Berber queer feminist structuralism. Shameful given the current political climate. If it somehow aids an anti-fascist pro-Palestine revolt, one may call it a success. Still, near perfect and given the vast scope of the books, if there's more, one can forgive."
95 80% Drive-Away Dolls (2024) - Rated 27 Feb 2024
"Light, Sapphic fun and friendship on the road in fascist times. As was first stated in the groovier '70s by those fighting another fun-sucking Floridian (Anita Bryant), "A day without lesbians is like a day without sunshine.""
94 75% WarGames (1983) - Rated 13 Feb 2024
"Ahead of its time in its depictions of computers and a grim reminder of the stupidity of nuclear weapons."
94 75% La montaña (2023) - Rated 10 Feb 2024
""The world is a lot bigger place than people think.""
92 65% Beau Is Afraid (2023) - Rated 10 Feb 2024
"Weird (:"
93 70% Tanner on Tanner (2004) - Rated 08 Feb 2024
"A nasty, brutal affair. The society of the spectacle is a dreamworld of screens showing everything except the truth. Can one even speak of a "politics" in such a world, where people disappear on the way to the store?"
80 17% The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) - Rated 07 Feb 2024
