The Pitters' Place

Haven't seen it yet but I heard an interview with Nolan where he talked about wanting to de-emphasize dialogue and focus more on visual storytelling for Dunkirk, which gives me hope for his future as a filmmaker considering the flaws of his last several films. Well, that's the best thing he could h...

Yes, quite. There is very little dialo...

8.5/10

Slow to get going, but visually amazing and really really emotionally satisfying if you have the patience for it.

Let's just say she didn't want to talk to him regardless.

Only a handful of non-fiction books have had a profound effect on me. Definitely the biggest three: The Autobiography of Malcolm X Soul on Ice - Eldridge Cleaver Rectifying God's Name - James D. Frankel The non-fiction I read is mostly from 20th century American Black revolutionaries, so anything fr...

I really hope the proponents of the "more guns = safety" line have the scope to appreciate the parallels between defending one's self from terrorism/random criminals and the genocide of the American black in consideration of self defense against police/general systemic oppression.

The Neon Demon is definitely very pervy, but it feels realistically pervy. There a a handful of guys that get weird (Mr. Reeves in particular), but, interestingly enough, the most prominent attempted rape is by a woman. His previous two films have male leads (though Only God Forgives features a str...

Keanu Exactly what I expected in a Key & Peele movie. Pretty funny. The Lobster Excellent first half, exhausting second half. The idea was so good and the execution was mediocre. Genius A biopic about Thomas Wolfe. Pretty great if you're into that kind of thing. I also have a man-crush on Jude ...

Only that particular kind of high where the world's parts kind of melt together and nothing matters.

Hardcore Henry - 0/10 Such a waste of time that it's a waste of time saying it was a waste of time. This is a straight-to-Netflix type of B-movie reserved for sequels to Sharknado . It belongs on the CW. How in the flying fuck did this make it to theaters? Why did I watch it? These are good questio...

That's not even a real movie.

Sikax never said he didn't like animated movies. He does like animated movies.

But I still haven't seen Inside Out.

Mojave Oscar Isaac and Garrett Hedlund go head-to-head in a very strange thriller. Hedlund is a big-shot Hollywood-type who goes out into the desert one weekend to find himself or whatever. He runs into crazy desert hippy Isaac who has killed before and attempts to get the better of Hedlund. Hedlun...

Tropic Thunder.

Just try and deny it.

It's Spike Lee at his best. Fuck-whitey blackness at its best. Poetry at its best. He took an ancient Greek play about oppression and feminism and spun it to fit modern-day Chicago violence and police brutality. The whole script rhymes, if you can stomach it. I love it. It's important, raw, sad, goo...

Just, like, watch it.

That's just it! He's been in so many terribly silly movies that the fact that this is happening is very strange and very awesome.

OK, Clark Gable did it back in the day for It Happened One Night (1934) and Mutiny on the Bounty (1935). But does that count? No.

He has starred in the two most recent Best Picture winners. His big role this upcoming year is Ray Kroc, the founder of McDonald's, in The Founder . Directed by the guy who did The Blind Side and written by the guy who did The Wrestler , it surely will be up for Oscars if it doesn't suck. I certainl...

Noah For some reason I really liked this one. Darren Aronofsky--director of strange things like Requiem for a Dream , Pi , Black Swan , The Fountain , and The Wrestler --directs a cast of white folks playing Biblical characters who portray the story of Noah and his boat in a very Shakespearean way....

I liked the press conference scene a lot.

Ex Machina was way better.

It's enjoyable in a few ways. The main guy is way too Richard Dawkins-y though. Your protagonist can't be a diabolical douchebag.

Triple 9 - 8.75/10 I love these gritty modern cop movies. Training Day, Street Kings, End of Watch, Hard Times etc. Good stuff. This one has an amazing cast. There's a group of dirty cops who rob banks. Then a rookie cop becomes one of their partners and they get it in their head to kill him to ser...

Zoolander 2 Pretty much how sequels of brilliant classic comedies go: terribly. A few good laughs, but mostly bullshit. The Voices - ??/10 Ryan Reynolds plays a mentally disturbed person who hears voices from his pets, a psychotic cat and an affable dog. He wrestles with which one to side with, and...

Flick re-seen

25th Hour - 8.7/10
Spike Lee's allegory on the aftermath of 9/11. Ed Norton plays a drug dealer living his last day in New York City before heading to prison for seven years. Lots of good stuff, especially the ending monologue summing up the fate of the United States.
