Robert Eggers’ NOSFERATU remake goes HARDER than any other horror film this year. Holy fuck. A gorgeous grotesquerie of dread-infused terrors & a divine dark delight. Bill Skarsgård’s Count Orlok is pure sinister nightmare fuel. Lily Rose Depp & Nicholas Hoult’s best work to date.
It incorporates breathtaking homages to Murnau’s masterpiece with thoughtful thematic artistry. Robin Carolan’s haunting compositions, Jarin Blaschke’s painterly cinematography & Craig Lathrop’s inspired production design augment its frightful atmospheric allure.
Also: if you’re not afraid of rats before seeing this movie, you will be now!
Today I learned Michael McDonald was high AF the first time he saw the SCTV skit where Rick Moranis plays him speeding from session to session. McDonald thought he was hallucinating. “Is this really happening or am I just losing it?”
This is MY JAM - and yours too if you dig learning about the stories behind the liner notes of albums by the kings of soft rock. A tribute to terrific musicianship. It’s the next best thing to seeing these acts in their heyday.
This final chapter rips! Loved it. An exhilarating adrenaline rush for the head and heart and immersive, awe-inducing stuntacular of the highest order. McQ, Tom Cruise & Co have crafted the gold standard - a brilliant, bold actioner for the ages. See it BIG and LOUD.
This was the first movie I’ve ever wondered about the showering habits of its lead female character. How her hair looked freshly washed every day when all she did was swim in a pool, it’s beyond me.
It did NOT work for me. The graphic novel by Richard McGuire is inventive and creative. However, this adaptation stinks, not honoring the source material with proper internal life and connective tissue.
He and co-writer Eric Roth would rather give Robin Wright Alzheimer’s than agency. POC and their stories are ornamental and, quite frankly, insulting.
It’s as if LONGLEGS was forged in Hell by Satan, who brought it as an artifact into our world as a gift. Osgood Perkins’ film is the real fucking shit. Mischievous, steadied tension build, SCARY & SICK AF. Maika Monroe is terrific. Nicolas Cage is in pure weirdo mode.
This movie has everything: Nuclear heat blast belches. Poignant post-war trauma. Godzilla monching on battleships like they are baguettes. A little adorable girl crying on cue. And a great JAWS reference (maybe unwittingly? deployed).
It’s a MEGA TON of fun. Well-acted, well-constructed and hugely thrilling action sequences. More of THIS please!
Fede Alvarez’s franchise takeover is gnarly, gripping and gorgeously bleak (everything from the story to Olivares’ cinematography to Wallfisch’s score). Innovatively delivering smart, savvy stuff, subtly playing the greatest hits. Thematically on par with the other Alien films, especially since it’s a loving pastiche of them. Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson dominate. This rules!
Materialists is an “elevated” rom-dram, blessedly free of broad comedic hijinks due to Celine Song’s raw honesty and humanist textures. Dakota Johnson is superb, sewing heart and humor into the fabric. Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans are undeniably terrific. Great soundtrack too!
Anna Kendrick spotlights how women are forced, on a daily/ hourly, basis, to negotiate a world of full of danger, suffering not only the slings & arrows of men, but their toxic, deadly advances. A taut, gasp-eliciting, expertly-told true story.
There’s moments in it where I felt extreme stress. I think back on times I’ve felt unsafe (like the time a creep followed 14YO me & my best friend from a movie theater) and other times I’ve been “blissfully unaware” of the dangerous circumstances I was in.
Imagination, innovation & immersive world-building collide. A love letter to Golden Age Hollywood heart and razzle dazzle in a contemporary classic. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are splendid. Heroines for a new generation. Jonathan Bailey is magnetic.
David Ayer’s The Beekeeper has everything we go to Jason Statham films for: brutal beat-downs, cheeky 90s-style one-liners and over-the-top, vengeance-fueled action set pieces. We are feasting!
