that thing from Barbarian? This is her now. Feel old yet?

HOLY SHIT. I have been looking forward to this for months. And, not gonna lie, walking into the theater I was expecting a disappointing 3/5 star movie. But what I got was the offspring of my two daddies, David Cronenberg and Yorgos Lanthimos, with a hint of Darren Aronofsky, and Julia Ducournau. And I couldn’t have wished for anything better.

I will forever applaud actors and actresses for…

Edging: The Movie

If hitting a tennis ball made that sound in real life, I’d watch tennis A LOT more. There’s so much to love here. I don’t know where to start. Maybe at the point that I did NOT think this would be anything at all. I thought the trailers looked SHIT and I didn’t see any appeal for the story at all. Fuck me sideways. I was so wrong.

The sound. The first thing I noticed. Was insane.…

Charade

1963

★★½ Watched

Feels like a Hitchcock wannabe accidentally made a really bad comedy. 
Pretty much all the performances were phoned in and wacky. Didn’t really fit the vibe for me. 
Between a 3 and 2.5.
Yall smokin CRACK.
Imma do 2.5 cos I’m a hater and wanna be different.
REALLY thought I’d love this. Fuck off.
SHOCKED at the letterboxd rating. I’m convinced one dude gave this a 5 at the very beginning and everyone after just rolled with it. Cause I don’t see it AT ALLLLLL.

A Couch in New York

1996

★★★ Watched

You could give me a million tries, and by the poster alone, I could never guess that this is directed by Chantel Akerman.

Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities: Episode Five

This is by far the worst. It’s boring, uninteresting, and the least like del Toro in every since of the word. Honestly if I could have went back in time to warn my future self about this episode I would have told myself to skip it and move on to the next one.

And since I can’t do that, I’ll just warn whoever is reading this review now.

Skip this one. Insanely…

“I would dust him in a lap!”

Great direction and a solid performance from Orlando Bloom doesn’t stop the cliched and flawed writing from popping up all over this film. The screenplay absolutely kills anything this film had going for it.
