Letterboxd — Your life in film

its funny how everyone acts like they know each other

I have seen this one billion times and I always forget everything that happens between the fight scenes except for the single most inappropriate joke of all time and Maggie Cheung hitting Jackie with cakes.

Tom Cruise's CTE finally catches up to him as he tries to stop the rarest of all occurrences: a rogue intelligence asset endangering a head of state

not going to argue there's much going on under the hood but these movies have stuck with me a lot longer than they otherwise would due to the absolute blast they're clearly having just being clever, nasty pieces of set-up and payoff death machinery. the sheer vivid glee in the filmmaking is pretty infectious after awhile; that tanning bed to coffin match cut, the unbearable rube-goldberg sense of accumulation in the drive-through/hardware store/gym bits, and of course the insanely chunky practical fx detail on that climactic tricentennial impaling + squish. just good stuff.

frog scene

I need to sit in a sensory deprivation tank after this. Watching this movie feels like you are scrolling through evil tik tok

absolutely demented film. the roots of blood covering the ground while the tripods suck the blood from a survivor are unimaginably hellish. 
and then ‘berg throws in a scene where tom cruise blindfolds his daughter so she doesn’t see him beat a man to death. 

what post-9/11 does to a motherfucker

Pleasantly surprised by this, a lot of that great 90s LA trash fire nihilism you don’t really get out of big movies anymore. I like that every horror action franchise was just doing weird sequels for a while

fucking hate this shit

good old-school buddy heist pulp premise, two charismatic leads and a stacked supporting cast playing an appropriately cutthroat depiction of the DEA, CIA, etc. feels like it should be an easy 3-star cable classic layup but every decision on how to shoot and cut this was the most boring imaginable.

This shit gay as hell
