Letterboxd — Your life in film

The problem with “Endings, Beginnings” is that Doremus never bothers to give us a compelling reason to care about a single one of these people, other than the fact that movie stars are playing them. To make matters worse, he buries them in a sea of indie relationship drama clichés: Characters stare out of windows while soft piano music plays, they half-whisper platitudes like “It feels like a star’s light: it takes so long to get where it’s going,” they…

Yo Bruce Willis that's the craziest looking hair piece I've ever seen. This shit makes Donald Trumps hair look like Fabio. Billy Bob Thornton wears a long blonde wig in this that's more convincing than that rug. It looks like you have an alien creature taking roost on top of your head fam.

Hey Bruce is that a fucking dead bird you have attached to your head because it looks like the sparrow my cat dragged into the house the…

Who needs "WandaVision" when you have this.

This movie has always been an ocean of beauty to me, the things I love about art and entertainment and how they interact pouring effusively over me in tidal waves. It's just about the farthest one can be from subtle, but its messages, evocations and imagery are enormously striking within this seemingly cute and harmless fantasy-comedy gimmick that it starts out on, so who needs understatement? In addressing social reform, civil rights, the…

A very good and intriguing mystery with a bit silly, but quite good performances and a very good combination of romance and good comedy, which is adapted to the events. Somehow I felt that the mystery could have been much better, although it is intense throughout the entire film, everything seems rather unconvincing to me, and the very premise that we see at the end does not leave a very strong impression. It is easy to feel that something is…

When I was in elementary school, a popular film that played on television a lot was THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON from 1941 starring Errol Flynn as Gen. George Armstrong Custer.  Custer, as portrayed in the story, was a moralistic hero who was a defender of Indian rights … which made his death at their hands at Little Big Horn not only a tragedy, but also something of a betrayal.  
   
My friends and I watched this…

Always in contention with Halloween (1978) as my favorite Carpenter. Heady post-apoc action rivaling They Live (1988) as the filmmaker's most imaginative. Like the condemned within Manhattan's walls, authority only use Kurt Russell's Plissken when convenient before the nonconformist reverts to dirty secret. His anti-hero never betrays distrust of the crumbling monarchs, leading to one of the greatest fuck yous in all of cinema.

A dream was accomplished in Lee Van Cleef; the only man bad enough to match brawn…

So 100 minutes of surreal imagery and foreboding atmosphere for the revelation that...men are all the same?

Consider me underwhelmed.

I'm a fan of Alex Garland. I thought "Ex Machina" was excellent and "Annihilation" was very good. I was looking forward to this one and, again, I think the buildup is riveting. I was totally engrossed and wondering where this all was leading. Garland is excellent at fostering at atmosphere of slowly building dread. Jessie Buckley is fantastic as a…
