"capital knockers"
I saw Creep. It was real good. I had a few smallish issues. I feel like when he was drugged he should have been drugged. Also, where was the sister? Why didnt she come for that guy. And at the end, no blood spatter?
I honestly didnt think the end was going to happen. The movie was somewhat slow paced, but you couldnt tell because the creepiness kept increasing and making you feel like it's more fast paced than it is. I thought it at the end he was just gonna scare him lol. I dont feel like the camera guy did enough to stop that shit.
Overall, I'd give it a 7.5/10

By good, he means you get an extended look at Mark Duplass's dick.
I know what all of you are thinking and no I'm not kidding, Guru Dave loves penis.
Just finished Creep 2. I liked it. Mark Duplass penis stole the show. I was hoping she would kill him and take over or something. I kinda puked when she got naked and her underarms were not shaved. That was actually more disgusting than Mark Duplass erect 3 inch penis. Oh yah and Baby Peach Fuzz.
I give it 7/10
IT Chapter 2 - 8/10
Bill Hader is the MVP of this movie. Funnier than the first film but with a surprisingly emotional finish. Takes a bit to get going but once everyone is battling IT things get really good. Would say the first film is better overall but this also good.

IT: Chapter 2
7/10
It is admittedly not as captivating as the first one. And it feels a bit "been there, done that". Pennywise was of course awesome. And the adult cast, after taking a decent amount of time to get established, is also great.
It's still very enjoyable, with an absolutely brutal opening scene. The flashbacks are mixed in more than I thought they'd be, but were enjoyable nonetheless.
I do wish there was more Pennywise. Feels like he wasn't in it as much as I remember in the first one. Still, it's a solid sequel that I think puts out a strong finish.

Solo: A Star Wars Story- 5/10
If member berries was a movie. This film would barely make sense if you hadnt seen 4, 5 and 6. This film doesnt do callbacks instead it attempts to harness nostalgia as a plot and fails to form any identity of its own.
The crime of thinking anyone wanted Han Solo without Ford does not go unpunished as whats his face and Glover both come off as doing shit impressions of better actors.
Action continuously occurs for the sake of action. I find it tedious.
On a technical level the film works but im left powerfully unmoved by anything they tried to do in this.

Started watching Booksmart. Starting to regret it. We will see.
Felated itself half a dozen times in the first 10 mins about how progressive this is going to be. Lesbians! Trans! No gender bathrooms! Stupid cis gender males! Powerful Women!
"If Mean Girls was shit" is the way this is trending.
0 stars.
I couldn't even finish it. I have no idea why this has a 96% fresh rating other than it's got every type of gender minority in it thus giving this a bad rating would cause the reviewer to be crucified and no longer allowed to have a Twitter account.
The two main characters are not funny and not protagonists I'm rooting for. I don't hate them or anything but being smart without any other really redeeming qualities isn't a compelling study of character. How am I supposed to root for someone who flaunts getting into Yale, then is crushed to find out shes not the only one going to an elite tier college? That's an asshat, not a lovable awkward high schooler.
Seriously. Had to turn it off. Couldn't even see it through. I want my 5 bucks back.
The way this movie blows itself over it's own virtue signaling is very WWE. "Look at us being inclusive! Aren't we progressive af?"
Why am I not surprised? I thought it was a sweet movie, Franklin.

It went out of it's way to show which side of the political aisle they were on and just hit the audience over the head with it. No subtlety. No nuance. Nothing to add to the plot or character depth. That amounts to trying to cover up lazy writing by tricking the audience into thinking that the movie is good because the people making it are now pre displaced in the category that many would place themselves in and relating to the filmmakers not by the material in the movie but by being in the Hilary Clinton N Friends camp. I think that's a pretty valid criticism.

Also, shes a cunt for being all high and mighty about getting into an ivy league school then tearing down her own accomplishments because others also got into good schools.

Maybe a rising tide lifts all boats and her accomplishments look that much better because of all those stupid cis partiers and not in spite of them. Hm?

I think that's a pretty valid criticism.
I understand where you're coming from. It certainly doesn't deserve the RT score. But even with the ultra progressiveness (the Malala bs), it didn't make me laugh any less in the theater. I cut them some slack since it's the director's first movie...some of the edits were atrocious.
If there's one thing that struck a chord with me was the friendship. Sometimes people become selfish even without realizing what they're doing. Once the safety net is gone and you're on your own...nobody to comfort you all the time. Also I found them being bitter and jealous about their grades to be very amusing. It happens a lot in real life when you're in a competitive environment.
That being said, I'd never compare it to Superbad. It's not even in the same league. I had similar feelings about Blockers.

The protagonist is a teenager and certainly not one dimensional. I for one was glad that she didn't have a vanilla personality. She had real emotions and a visceral reaction after learning that everyone else was also going to a good school. She started doubting herself and reconsidering her priorities. She's flawed like everyone else.

The Sisters Brothers - 3.5/4
Presenting it as anything other than a Western was a terrible error of judgement. I was expecting a dark comedy adventure based on how it was packaged and sold but it's classic Western all the way. It's quite off key in a very pleasant way, there are uneasy moments galore which can turn either way and I was enamoured with the style of the story and the choices made in the cast.
Riz Ahmed and Jake Gyllenhaal stood out as strongly as Reilly and Phoenix in the support but their tale is so beautifully told that I really think they could have had a teeny bit more screen time just because it is powerful stuff and it sticks with me, as they do as characters. Reilly was especially likeable in his role as the guardian, partner and brother of Phoenix's hot headed and cold blooded hunter killer. Phoenix, who is now so incredibly talented as an actor that I can hardly even tell he's a real person anymore, becomes more endearing despite every act of brutality and stupidity in the story.
I really loved it.

I think people tend to see this as the weakest of the three films, presumably because it does not tap into some form of wistful romanticism like the others, but I think both Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy give their strongest performances of the series in this film.

That movie is good, but utterly ridiculous. There is also a scene where Colin Farrel and his red head fine piece of twat campaign helper get in the car and have a conversation. But there is no film of them talking. It's just a long scene of a car driving. And i think Colin Farrell asks here if she's ever been with a black guy. And the whole fucking scene makes no sense and feels like it doesnt belong.

Never Grow Old - 3.5/4
A bad tempered independent Western full of ugliness and mean spirit that ends with one of the most simply written and beautifully played emotional exchanges I have ever seen. Don't confuse this with a revenge thriller, it has all of the key components but this is a morality tale all the way. A redemption film. The protagonist is a good but conflicted and put upon man who must overcome his reticence to come good in the end.
Emile Hirsch at his finest is unquestionably one of the best actors in the world, and here he is as good as I have ever seen him. He has John Cusack to play off, a John Cusack that in small films has become so much more than the awful leading man that somehow dominated the quirkier mainstream films of the 90's.
I like Cusack a lot in this. He has the look of an old school heel wrestler in the best way possible. I don't know what on earth they did to his face but his eyes look mental and his skin has the pallor of death.
He reins his acting in appropriately too, only showing mania in glimpses as his cohorts in the movie provide plenty of camp themselves.
I have to say I wasn't expecting a masterpiece but this came very close, the plot is typical Western fare in that a town has changed from good to bad and now it is about to descend into hell with the arrival of some even more heinous strangers. It's nothing new but it is expertly paced in the act progression. There isn't much fat on this, it is a lean and mean piece of film making where you can see that the money has been put in all of the right places proving yet again that practical special effects are always worth using in the right hands.
Great performances across the cast, excellent use of material and surroundings and quite possibly the first appropriate non-comedic use of a blunderbuss in film history.

Joker-9/10
I got what I expected and more. This movie does not try to promote, glorify or justify a triggered individual with mental health issues going over the edge. It is a dark, grim, hopeless and brutal 2 hour film about a man with a start to life so tragic, you realize he never had any real chance to be more than what he is.
The opening scene sets the tone for the film, and it's unforgiving from there. The first time we see Arthur jumped, you do feel a sense of pity for him. He's clearly mentally challenged and not an inherently bad man. When Arthur gets a taste of his first kill, you can see the gears in his head start to wind. The character goes from being pitiful and, to a point, sympathetic, to a slow decent into madness after seeing that his first murder is what makes him feel noticed.
The descent into madness is not immediate however. He does not go on some murderous spree immediately after. Instead, the film takes its time, setting up several series of events that both are a revelation to the viewer and to Arthur himself, the final one being the tipping point.
Arthur learns of true past. At least as true as the film would allow, and that, as the 3rd act begins, is the final step in Arthur embracing and becoming the Joker. He becomes unhinged, but calculating. His actions are not without merit, from his pov, and they are not senseless in that the kills relate to the story that came before them.
In the end, I walked out having enjoyed the movie. But it is not a fun movie. It is a contrast to the Dark Knight, where a hero sacrifices himself to take the fall for the betterment of his city, and in doing so, instills hope in the future of Gotham. Joker instead only promises a bleak, grim era of the city that, given the theme of the oppressed uprising, is only going to get worse.
Joaquin Phoenix is magnetic. Like any small scale Phoenix film, he's virtually in every single scene, and he owns every frame. The character's progression to several bad days, feeling depressed and hopeless, to embracing and relishing in the Joker persona, is top notch work from him. I would hope he gets an Oscar nod.

El Chicano-5/10
Story of a police officer who discovers his brother, once thought to have taken his own life, was actually murdered while attempting to take up the mantle of El Chicano, a masked vigilante who took down bad guys in the ghetto of East L.A..
Was initially intrigued by the movie because it's a primarily Latino cast, and a Hispanic superhero seemed cool. The villain had an interesting premise. A Mexican national gang kingpin who wants to infiltrate L.A. and take back the entire state as property of Mexico.
That's where the intrigue dies, unfortunately. The premise of the movie is all its got. The execution was poor. Other than a great fight scene that intros the title character, and another good scene in the final showdown, the movie lacks any depth or heft.
It tries for a police procedural to set up the key pieces, but that's rushed thru to get the main character Diego into the mask. His discoveries of his brother and the ties to the Mexican mafia are convenient at best. There's no slow burn, no build up, no emotional connection to get behind the character.
And the lead? What a bore. He was not charismatic at all. Stiff, uninspired line reading didn't help a bad script that was trying it's damndest to mix English and Spanish in, but instead of making it smooth and seamless, like Narcos, it es clunky, forced, and frankly, off putting.
The real bummer is George Lopez plays it serious as a police chief, and is prob the best performance in the film. But we get so little time with him that it feels wasted. This movie needed to be longer and the ideas and theories needed to be more fleshed out. Instead we just get a violent mess that skips over what makes it interesting to showcase gruesome deaths and a showdown/finale so underwhelming I didn't think it could be the end.
Bummer.

There is an element that could be mistaken for a lazy "right he needs to see these people so let's find a way to fit it in" about it but I thought it was written as smartly as it had to be to give anything back at all.
The ending was probably the weakest part even though it was traditionally good.

Terminator Dark Fate-7/10
Massive upgrade over the last number of sequels. T3 was the last decent Terminator movie, imo. And a lot of that had to with the fact that they didn't try to reinvent the wheel and just made a chase movie with time traveling robots.
Dark Fate is better than T3 simply because it's much more violent thanks to the R rating. It is a direct sequel to T2 and the opening scene establishes that from the start.
This time, we get a different take on the machine sent back to protect our new female lead, Arnold's T800 gets a new layer added to its persona in a way that makes sense, and the movie returns to the feature chase scene feel of the first three.
The new Terminator, the Rev9, has some neat new abilities, and is a better terminator than the T-X in the 3rd one.
Acton sets are fun, loud, violent and bloody. The movie doesn't try to do what Genesis did with a bunch of time travel mumbo mumbo. It does create a new thread in the timeline, but it's not overly convoluted or confusing.
T2 is one of my fave films of all time. I'm glad it finally got a solid R rated sequel. Nothing will ever live up to the first 2 but they've finally made one that works and can maybe spin off a new series.

A sympathetic bio of an enduring cultural reference and perfect example of "moment in time" film making. Dolemite, the original, is an embarrassingly bad film in modern review. I think even then it was more of a "so bad it's good" at the right time kind of film. To watch it now and expect anything other than that is a misunderstanding of why it mattered, why it was successful and why oh why anybody spent their time, effort and money making it.
All of those questions are answered with Eddie Murphy's new bio of the man behind the blaxploitation. In this film we see Rudy Ray Moore exploit an exploitative genre using a character he stole from an alcoholic hobo and yet we are shown why and how this is fair and also a huge boost to many people. The good balances out the bad, much like the film in question and the man behind it.
The performances of Snipes and Murphy are polar opposites but they work brilliantly, Snipes takes more than his fair share of the laughs and to be honest it is great seeing him do comedy.
I would recommend this, it is quite sweet as well as funny.
How did I not recognize Snipes :nono:

Snipes is VERY black, but his eyes. Those should tell you that's Snipes.

Snipes was hilarious and perfect in his role. Eddie Murphy deserved a good comedy. I'm glad he got Dolemite.

Terminator: Dark Fate - 7.5/10
Was very fun, and like Damian Rey said, the best since the first two, and the only one really worth watching since T3. (Though I need to give Salvation another opportunity)
My gut reaction to it is that I think that they did sacrifice making a possible better movie without Arnold to shoehorn Arnold into it.... that it could have been a better story without him...... but I might change my mind on this, and it isn't like I'm ever really disappointed to see Arnold.

I loved Arnold in this. It made sense what they did with him and how they added anotherlater to his consciousness. And he wasn't useless against a superior model. Much like against the T1000, he could overpower it with brute force.
But I admit I'm a sucker for Arnold.

Olympus Has Fallen 7.2/10
London Has Fallen 7/10
Nothing special, but as mindless action films, they do the job. They also don't have the shaky camera and up-close action sequences that usually spoil action films these days, which is a plus.
John Wick 3 - 9/10
Great, mindless fun. Ideal for how I am right now. Needed no thinking and shit, just good, brutal stuff. Sweet. And Halle Berry is still hot.
The scenes with the horses were great, patting them so they kick the enemy.
Stupid things - enemies coming at him one at a time, especially those dudes with knives once he got to Morocco. But that's typical action movie stuff, so it was expected.
Oh, and fuck that Asia Kate Dillon thing. Fuck them and their non-binary, pansexual ways. You ugly as fuck, whether you're a dude or a chick.
Might need to give John Wick 2 another try the next time I'm like this.

Halle Berry is too old now.

Sure. Looks hot in the movie, though.

Terminator: Dark Fate...7/10. It was pretty fun. Definitely a bit of a return to form for Terminator, worth watching.

By the way, I love how many moves used in "pro wrestling" are in these films. Hope we get to see Wick powerbomb someone next.

I found Wick 3 to be disappointing. The fight choreography was still great though.
