Wake Up Dead Man

20254.0 ★

“day 1/365 i don’t know why but this whole film just hit for me, yeah out of three movie this one was most predictable of who was killer (did have a nice little twist in the end though) but just priest storyline and how he is determined to help these group of people and follow on the path of Christ and being able to understand and forgive the people that try to blame him is very moving. im not even religious and it hit me, and i love the dynamic use of lighting in the film to sorrow and hope. how the hole church plays a part of the film. idk gang might be in up there for me, definitely better than the second one.”

In the Mood for Love

20005.0 ★

“In the Mood for Love hit me way harder than I expected. Not in the “masterpiece” way people love to hype it up, but in that quiet way where a movie taps you on the shoulder and says: “slow down… pay attention.” And that’s really what stood out to me. Not the colors. Not the cinematography . Not even the chemistry. It’s the repetition. The patterns. The things you only catch once you’ve seen them enough times. “You notice things when you pay attention.” That line sits in the middle of the film like it’s speaking directly to you. Because everything in this movie is built on noticing the little things. The quiet changes. The pieces that don’t fit. The moments that repeat until the cracks start showing. This movie doesn’t explain anything to you. It trusts you to put it together. And that trust is what makes it hit so hard. --- watch the rest of my thoughts lol : www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1crqurqDR8”

The Running Man

20253.0 ★

“type shit type shit... Edgar Wright delivers a killer first half with great world-building and a believable, desperate main character. The movie falls off once the book-adaptation structure kicks in and the tension drops after the “Last Man” reveal. Fun and entertaining, but ultimately mid — 3/5. youtu.be/7J2KFIRLMe0”

One Battle After Another

20254.5 ★

“finally a movie that feels like it’s from the 90s, 80s, 70s. Not in the camera they used or how it looks. I mean to the acting, to the sets, to the god damn wardrobe. PTA IS SHOWING US A MASTERCLASS in film making.”

“i’m a soldier boy, and you just gave me a command. michael b jordan best acting he has ever done. Autumn just stamp his name in my head, any movie he does cinematography from now on is a must watch Ryan Coogler master class here only wish the movie ended when he is holding the baby and it would’ve been perfect (very cowboy bepop) but i still like what we got though”

“ended up watching all deadpool movies with someone over the weekend. it’s just nice to see a movie that’s unapologetically what it is, and love or hate it. you have to respect the years of hard work that went into all those movies.”
