    The Knives Out Curriculum - Mystery 101 with Rian Johnson

    Notes because I’m sleepy.

    - This may set the record for most plot twists in one movie. The ground’s always changing under the audience’s feet.

    - Might fuck around and work my way chronologically through Lumet’s filmography.

    - Top 10 movie house. Probably top 5. Just gotta do something about those white walls. Gross!

    - Christopher Reeve is so great in this. Makes me sad that we lost him so soon.

    - I finally see where Rian got his knife statue idea. Good artists copy etc.

    The Knives Out Curriculum - Mystery 101 with Rian Johnson

    Love a good Poirot monologue! I sure hope Daniel Craig gets one....

    Knives Out is only a couple weeks away now, so I’ve got to put the pedal to the metal and finish this up.

    The Knives Out Curriculum – Mystery 101 with Rian Johnson

    Oh HELL yes. This is exactly the kind of movie I was hoping for when I started this project.

    The Last of Sheila, written by Anthony Perkins (?) and Stephen Sondheim (???) has all the makings of a fun murder mystery: hammy performances, a unique blend of characters, a provocative setting and secrets on secrets on secrets on SECRETS.

    I'm wary to get into too deep of specifics because #spoilers…

  • The Wolf of Wall Street

    The Wolf of Wall Street 2013

    ★★★★½ Rewatched 03 Mar 2019 1

    Greed is not good. 

    But The Wolf of Wall Street is. 

    It is very, very good. Will The Irishman be better? It’s certainly possible, and that excites the shit out of me.

  • The Last Temptation of Christ

    The Last Temptation of Christ 1988

    ★★½ Watched 01 Mar 2019 1

    Definitely intrigued by the demystifying of the big J, but I guess I’m not religious enough to appreciate the gravity of that choice.

    Scorsese’s career can be broken down into 3 categories:
    1) Crime
    2) Spirituality
    3) New York at midnight

    2 is what gets me fired up the least, but it’s obvious Scorsese has a lot of built-up inner turmoil over his/our relationship with god.

    But casting Harvey Keitel as a ginger Judas. Marty. Baby, what are you doing?

    Casino 1995

    ★★★★ Rewatched 28 Feb 2019 4

    Very good. Very long. With a lot of swearing. And even more violence.

    I love Scorsese.

  • Mean Streets

    Mean Streets 1973

    ★★½ Watched 13 Feb 2019

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Love all the old New York lewks, but sadly the rest of this didn’t really grip me.

    One of a few Scorsese movies I wanted check out before The Irishman. Maybe Last Temptation next? After Hours?

  • 2010

    2010 1984

    ★★★★ Watched 31 Jan 2019 2

    Not as technically proficient as 2001, but I think I like it more.

    Someday, the children of the new sun will meet the children of the old

    God, what a perfect ending to this story. We’re sleeping on a possible masterpiece here. Science fiction doesn’t get much better than this.

    Come at me film bros.

  • Watchmen

    Watchmen 2009

    ★★★★ Rewatched 28 Jan 2019

    Revisiting this and the graphic novel in preparation for the upcoming HBO series.

    The Snyder’s direction is impeccable, I just can’t understand for the life of my why the script ommitted certain things from the source material. Even when the roadmap is laid out perfectly in front of him, Snyder feels the need to zig and zag when NO ONE WANTS HIM TO.

    Oh well, still a pretty cool movie, and one of the stronger book to movie adaptations  we’ve seen in a while. Can’t wait to see what the TV show does with this particular sandbox.

    Grade: 8.5/10

  • Charlie Wilson's War

    Charlie Wilson's War 2007

    ★★½ Rewatched 21 Jan 2019

    Seeing Tom Hanks and naked women on the screen at the same time made me uncomfortable tbh.

    But not as uncomfortable as watching a Sorkin-scripted thing that didn’t make me want to cry.

    His writing flair is present, but it doesn’t lead the film the way it should be leading it.

    I guess if doesn’t help that the subject matter bores me as much as it does. If he can’t get me to get invested in middle east politics, nothing…
