Baseball, cinema, cooking, gaming, music. Usually doing one of these activities. Rock playlist: Letterboxd:
Chastain with one of her best performances, quintessential Sorkin writing. The trickle down economy in a post apocalyptic locomotive. The Yards is Coppola inspired, right down to the cousin fucking. Escape Room is PG-13 Saw but the ending didn't stick the landing. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Boiling Point is a single take film following a restaurant kitchen, literal hell. Adams and Blunt as a dysfunctional sister duo cleaning up crime scenes. The crew of MI is back but now add Ferguson to the mix. Love Jones is hot, full of chemistry, poetry and jazz. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
If you like Wick style action, give The Man From Nowhere a shot as the influence is clear. The Island falls short of what could've been a solid sci-fi flick. Speaking of Wick, don't mess with peoples pets. Recast Reynolds and the Amityville remake might be decent. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Back when you can take random pills from strangers and not be worried about fentanyl. Cruise suffering a PTSD episode at a high rate of speed, again. Washington as a self destructive drunk but boy can he fly a plane. Odyssey lived up to the hype, go watch it. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Cooke & Taylor-Joy were damn good as two friends just hanging, conspiring murder. Lighthouse was funnier than I expected, the FARTS! I think this was my favorite of the MI's so far, little too long though. With the Game I'm now just missing Fincher's 2020s films. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Jigsaw taking on the healthcare industry, dude's a champion of the people. When Neeson said the thing, I became that DiCaprio gif. Cyborg features one intense, stylish villain but the dialogue is so bad and mid. Did the shark forget there was a whole damn whale? #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Y'all remember rhythm gaming, yes? Well it was my gaming life for several years about 15 years ago. Stepped away because life happens. Now I've got a patchwork drum kit and have been having a blast getting back into a groove. Until you miss a single note on a song 😭 🥁 🎮 🎵
The traps were better in this installment of Saw but they need to wrap it up pronto. Lady Snowblood has a ferocity in her eyes, watch the fuck out. Lundgren went way more nutso than I remember and it worked. Phone Booth is a living, breathing testament to 2002. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
There were so many bad space horror movies around that time weren't there? 1000 Corpses has certain scenes where it's an acid trip on screen. Pedro Navaja is 1980s Mexican cinema, for better or worst. A rewatch decades in the making, Toy Story is still incredible. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
I dunno if she murdered her husband but I know that Fiddy instrumental slaps. Classic American love story if there ever was one. I fall for Seabiscuit every time, I can't help it. Things happening to unlikeable people is why I laughed so much during Poop Cruise. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
The kinda movie where I wonder how much the filmmaker *really* knows 🧐. Amy Adams put me in horny jail. I'm Thinking of Ending Things is loneliness in motion. The Vietnam War is a masterpiece documentary, the point where the US public lost faith in their leaders. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Viggo stars as a man that thought he'd escaped his past, only to be thrust back into his old ways. Torres was terrific in an intimate piece of her family's struggle against a dictatorship. A very familiar walk down mid 90s memory lane. Jeter, jail and pets again. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
The American obsession with celebrity status is highlighted here, solid work from Kidman and Phoenix. Tense and atmospheric, Oddity is McCarthy's best. De Niro playing an Italian gangster never gets old. Wanna see Jack Bauer in a bad horror movie? No? Me neither. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
50+ years ago the Post took down a criminal presidency, could use some of the journalism now. Handmaiden has some juicy twists and a satisfying ending. When horror franchises go to space, you know it's over. Washington is sensational, should've been an Oscar win. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Long weekend and a recent 4K UHD delivery means I'm not going to watch any of them and will instead stream rubbish. Just kidding, I'll attempt at least two of them. I swear. #PhysicalMedia #4kUHD
Navarrette was absolutely magnificent, an unnerving experience, terrific horror. That embrace by DeSoto and Morales always sends me reeling 😣😫😭, great soundtrack. Flatliners has a great cast but there's no high stakes. Enjoyable scifi with a hilarious Tucker. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
MK peaked in the first segment and slowly got duller as it went on. IMO, Streep's most iconic role, she's just so good here. Cold War era thriller that left me restless in bed imagining terrible scenarios. Beautiful minimalist scifi, don't get into strange vans. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Insert your favorite "what is going on?!" gif to describe Saw 4's plot. Caveat asks you to believe the main character would willingly make a nonsensical choice early on in. Standard 90s thriller fare. AVP:R's lighting is so bad, like it was trying to hide rubbish. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Took a stroll to the brewery and found some critters along the way including the colloquially known Murder Bird, amongst Burqueños. And more than a few prairie dogs.
A spy thriller with a misplaced romantic subplot, Condor is a timely watch. Possibly my favorite from Nolan, a brilliant film of obsession and one-upmanship. Mockumentary psychological horror with big Laura Palmer vibes. He did find a better scream and he used it! #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
I'm assuming Evil Dead Egypt was a working title for this. Brilliantly acted with a prophetic take on media and corps, Network is sharply funny. Boseman with his breakthrough role portraying a truly great American. Mason's mom needs to be single for a while. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
A solid coming of age with young Hawke and an inspirational Williams. The Stewart/Hitchcock combo doesn't miss. Maybe my answer to Tarkovsky is to play at 1.5x speed outside of dialogue sections. Wasn't prepared or expecting that ending of Atonement, a gut punch. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
When it's so easy nowadays to fall into despair, PHM is the kinda movie that imagines us at our best. A group experiment on how you'd react to a startling revelation from a loved one. AI is so much better in the movies than in reality. DiCaprio's best performance. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
There's just something comforting about the world's elite spontaneously exploding. I was expecting a terrible movie but, Predator 2 was aight. LMS was everything it was made out to be, that casting was perfection. Next Paprika watch, I'm gonna be high as a kite. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
Opening day but I don't work at home and I'm pretty busy so no time to really check. Hey, Athletic update! Let's see how they did. 😢😭😡🤬 ⚾
Peterson v. Dafoe in an excellent neo noir thriller. The best movie ever.. to feature the Chicago St. Patrick's Day parade. Karate Kid/Rocky 4 mashup with a ghost Bruce Lee sensei, in the so bad, it's good category. Moura was great but Tania Maria stole the show. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
A childhood favorite, 1st rewatch in decades, the memories rushed back in. Ordinary beat out Elephant Man and Raging Bull for BP, I ain't even mad at it. Hans Zimmer is next on the hit list for this score. Ready or Not is a documentary right? Fucking rich people. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
