Now THIS is how you do a psychological thriller about class disparity. Bong making Todd Phillips look more like, dare I say, a clown?
Parasite is really really great. Fabulous performances, sharp humor and a deep understanding of it’s themes elevates this past it’s already ingenious premise into something more biting and thrilling than I was prepared for.
Snowpiercer is still my go to, but this makes me want to dive even deeper into Bong’s movies.
For the record, the only way to view this movie is by walking 30 minutes to a theater at midnight in a light drizzle of rain.
Still so fuckin good. The textures, mood, music, all of it man.
There’s no practical reason for them to bring Jones along but goddamn it does he not give the best performance. The lack of concern in his eyes seeing a dude ripped apart by the xenomorph is something you just can’t teach. What an icon.
It’s always nice to catch one of your top 20 on the big screen for the first time.
What I picked up on this viewing is how the film never really endorses Graysmith’s point of view. It follows him, it hears him out but it never gives in.
I’ve read up enough about the case to know that while it probably was Allen, there is, as with all of the suspects, PLENTY of evidence pointing towards innocence as much as it does guilt.
Despite being a borderline hater of organized religion, I always seem to gravitate towards art that addresses faith. My favorite band, U2, is for all intents and purposes a christian rock band so despite my best efforts to push it away, spirituality comes and finds me.
The Two Popes is unexpectedly about that struggle. Who God chooses to speak to or not, and what he says to those…
Adding this to my long-gestating film thesis that just because you (Lovecraft) did it first doesn’t mean you did it better (Annihilation).
Recognizing that this is an adaptation of a book by a genre director, I’m not saying it *should* have been as good as Alex Garland’s masterwork, but I can see where he and author Jeff VanderMeer got a lot of their inspiration from. Thing crashes to earth, alters the environment, and hilarity ensues.
As expected, Adam Driver is the most intriguing part of this movie.
Duh, right? Over the last 4 years he's established himself as the actor of his generation. But this time, it's what happened off screen more than on that makes him so irresistible.
Driver is a war veteran. He enlisted in the Marines shortly after 9/11. Almost 20 years later, here he is starring in a movie about mistakes made during that time and the people who made those…
