I watched Saltburn last night. I loved it!
My thoughts:
The less you know going in, the better.
It’s a pitch black comedy and a drama.
Fantastic cast!
It’s definitely NOT for everyone. It’s about love, jealousy, social/economic class, sex, ambition and so much more.
It was NOTHING like what I...
I really enjoyed Summer of 85 (streaming on Tubi and Hoopla). When Alex has a boating accident, a stranger David, comes to the rescue. The two French teenagers become friends quickly despite having different outlooks on life. The movie follows their progression from friends to lovers, but it’s...
It Comes At Night (2017)
THIS is how you make a good horror film! It just jumps right in: there’s some sort of plague (“sickness“) that’s killing people. End of setup. We don’t know any real details. We don’t know when or where this takes place. We don’t know how it started or how long it’s...
Chicago has been CRAZY. Yesterday it was 53. Monday we may break our record 73 degrees. But in 2015 I took these pictures along Lake Michigan in Racine (about 50 miles north of Chicago). A crazy contrast!
I agree. The CGI/effects people need to watch Godzilla-1.0 or any of the recent Planet of the Apes movies to see what realistic, quality effects look like.
I watched this on Paramount Plus last night. What a FANTASTIC movie! I don’t remember too much about how it was originally marketed but I highly recommend watching this!
Interesting observation. I’m a fan of Judge Judy (guilty pleasure!). Season three of Judy Justice just dropped recently. While the info page lists it as “FreeVee Presents…” it’s now part of Prime. Some episodes have a commercial prior to the show and one around the 15 minute mark, others have...
The Last Voyage of the Demeter
I sort of remember this being in theaters but I don’t think it stuck around long. If you’re familiar with the Stoker version of Dracula (and the movie/TV adaptations) the Demeter was the ship that brought Dracula and his coffin to England. This surprisingly good...
I just watched The Passenger. I almost passed seeing it was from Blumhouse (I find most of their movies overrated and ‘meh’) but I’m glad I didn’t. Tense. Unnerving. Excellent performances, especially Johnny Berchtold as Randy. Definitely recommended!
Same here…they showed a preview before the Dreamworld screening last night. I checked out the full video on YouTube. I was expecting something along the lines of Domino Dancing….it’s NOTHING like that!
I will go - again - to see this. As a child of the 60’s I grew up watching it on its annual TV showing (Easter? I seem to recall it was around a holiday) and was blown away seeing it in a theater for the first time in 1999 for its 60th anniversary. It was like seeing it for the first time.
I’m curious as to whether his take will be a musical. Will it have the same songs? No musical numbers? I mean The Wiz might be a better source to get a remake. The musical numbers are fine but Diana Ross was horribly miscast, despite her singing ability.
Now that the holidays are over I think it’s time to start up my horror movie watching again!
Mr. Sardonicus (1961)
It’s been AGES since I’ve seen this film! So long, in fact, I’d forgotten it was a William Castle production! It’s held up very well, in large part to keeping the face of...
