Red Mosquito

The Rip started strong, was well-directed, and had lots of good stuff in it. But once I realized it was mostly going to be a one-location thing, I was a little deflated (so many movies are doing this to stretch budgets and I'm sick of it). I also thought everyone except Scott Adkins was miscast (side note: would love to see him ease into the part of a dramatic character actor like this, he seems right at home), and - by the end - the movie felt like such fluffy copaganda that it made me feel a little ill, especially with everything that's going on in this shithole country right now.

At least I'll always have Narc. Now that's a fuckin' movie, baby.

Yeah, the first half was great. Then it kinda felt like Matt and Ben were congratulating themselves on the "twist" literally everyone saw coming.

lol at the recreation of the PJ gig in Song Sung Blue. They got the song right, but that’s about it.

Was that any good? Almost watched it

The 1990 ninja turtles movie. Still good.

Stockholm.

I normally like Ethan Hawke, but he was pretty bad in this. Yells through everything. Garbage.

I haven’t finished it, but it’s not great.

yeah, a little too Raph

Red Rocket was very good. That paired with Anora is quite the one-two punch from Sean Baker. Holy wow. Don't remember much of Florida Project. Maybe should give that one another try.

I recommend Starlet and Tangerine too.

The Station Agent (rewatch), one of my favourite movies ever

Just watched The Taking of Pelham One Two Three this morning. Great fucking movie.

yeah but still...5 hours with Kill Bill? not sure yet.

Kill Bill is not worth almost five hours in the theater

Yeah I'm skipping that. I like Volume 1 but I don't think I can take five hours

Mine too. I finally decided to just watch it this morning. Had no idea Jerry Stiller was in it.

Rewatched Notorious for the first time in a long while, now fully cemented as one of my tippity top Hitchcock films.

Ingrid Bergman. Damn! What a star
