Boss Level - 7/10
Fun popcorn flick although I have mixed feeling about the ending. I get the gig but dunno. Overall finally something not shitty to watch in this drought season.

Boss Level - 7/10
It was fun.. It's like Groundhog Day if it was a Chuck Norris meme. Not a deep movie by any means, just fun action, kills and some jokes.
Spoiler alert:
Spoiler: | The scene at ~54 minutes where he shoots the assassin with her $750k Adolf Hitler gun and says: "That's for the jews". |

I'm waiting for December 14th when Tenet is released on BluRay (and rips will pop up within hours).
I don't know of any other upcoming movies that seem interesting. And yes, it's been a very dry year for movies in general (for my taste anyway). I don't know how many old movies I've re-watched but it's been a lot. Also explored plenty of anime, some that I dropped, others that I binge watched.

Fatman - 7/10
I was afraid the movie would be too silly for its own good, but it offers a nice dose of surreal grittiness and never really manages to lose its focus. Good ol' Mel Gibsanta is great as always, Walton Goggins is perfect for the role and the production values overall are decent which helps, simple but inspired old-school entertainment.

It was surprisingly very good, until its inebriated horror side crashed the party and ended up causing more awkward dissonance than tension. I imagine Garland&Boyle thought it was absolutely necessary to spice things up and just reduce the rest of the narrative to an exercise in style, but the movie would have worked much better with a more consistent tone. Still, it's worth watching for some competent sci-fi moments and pleasant visuals as long as you're willing to sit in the solar observation deck with the power set to 4%. |
Not a single word about the audio/music?  |
Haha, was thinking the same. John Murphy's score is one of the most beautiful I've heard. |
Oh absolutely! I didn't mention the soundtrack simply because it's been used (and abused) so much in the past decade for all sorts of marketing-related purposes that my reaction was more of a "ha, there it is" rather than pure awe and admiration. It's one of the downsides of watching movies many years after their original release

Tenet.
7/10 so far.
It might upgrade. After the highway scene right now.
Movie opened up plot wise.
Very clean to look at.
Very technical. Very very nice to look at.
Plot is simple thus far. Surprised by how clean it is.
Not just visually but also plot wise. Not sure how people were confused. They do mumbo jumbo 10 dollar oxford words, but then regurgitate it with a 10 cent Wikipedia entry.
Score updated to 7.5
Visually, technically, directing all impressive.
Acting/actors lower the score only slightly.
Cliche story telling lowers it by a whole 2 points.
Some actors couldn't do proper backwards walk lol, given the technicality and the meticulous directing, the little fuck ups on the actor parts don't feel intentional.
Plot is very lol, very simple if you actually follow it. Everything is explained. Everything that happens is explained. So folks who were confused didn't pay attention. By far most technical nolan film. Not the best written. Would be a 9.5 out of 10 had it been written better, and 10 out of 10 if the little screw ups didn't exist. And they're minor, but noticeable.
Watch it when it comes out in 4k at a high bitrate.
Given how clean and technical it is, you should enjoy it fully. Not some cheap ass web rip from some hotel in Vietnam.

Tenet - 7/10
Not quite up to my expectations and the time-bending stuff is a bit off (flawed) at times. I sure as hell wouldn't want to use the bathroom to do #1 or #2 with inverse entropy.. Eeeeewwww....
Still an interesting concept and some good spy thriller stuff going on.

There's a lot of political commentary and many reflections on how a totalitarian system affects society.

Yeah I liked inception a lot more, it's hard to score, I'd probably give it a 7/10 only because its plot is wtf out there and the quality execution. I need to give it a second view though, my brain couldn't snap into "don't try to understand it" mode.
Spoiler: |
How can the girl from the future be in the past on the boat but moving forwards  . Explosions are happening in reverse at the same time elsewhere, the future lady or past bad guy have to move in opposite time right? Ok maybe they are both from the future (that fixes that problem), how can the past version of herself see herself dive off boat forwards then?
 retarded movie

They travel back in time while they wait in a box (like on the ship), and then they reverse again.
It's like the movie Primer, basically, but explained rather horribly. Difference in Tenet being that they go outside the box. While Primer is considered a 'complex' movie, at least it got its exposition consistent.
I'll have to watch this again, there are many things that don't add up (seemingly). Ironically, the movie doesn't seem to portray well how much time has gone by after certain scenes.
Like:
Spoiler: |
The girl got shot so they went in the 'thing' to run time backwards so she could heal. But they never leave the box during the week it took to heal, so she herself didn't run backwards in time, only the stuff outside. So how does healing work then? They were breathing normally, so I'm assuming they still run forward in time?
Also, in the last part on the boat, wouldn't she look a lot older than her original self? Couldn't no one on the boat, including her husband, see that?
|
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

Spoiler: | There's no travelling per se (ie. jumping to a different "point" in time), they enter those tubes and become "reversed", ie. their flow of time is reverse to ours. They "travel" in time by simply getting "reversed" and the time that pass for them takes them back in time from our perspective and from their perspective we're the ones going backwards in time. The movie didn't quite nail that part properly due to some inconsistencies in the scifi-theoretical department. |

Tenet: 6/10 i think, its dropped a point from the last 3 posts
Spoiler: |
@Il_Padrino your example of reversing, wait 6 months (travel back 6 months), then reverse again to travel forward to explain the boat scene at the end works for me. Obviously we pretend aging doesn't exist, i can give them that.
@Frant Yeah I got that part, but it makes the end scene on the boat not make sense as every character in those scenes moves forwards in time but in the past  . Remember her old self turns up when she dives off the ship, so she has to go inverse wait however many years for that event to occur, then inverse again to move forwards in time again for that scene to work.
So how do all those reverse bullets work when a character in normal time is able to just will them to move in reverse

What I didn't get is what happens to the characters when they are 'traveling' back. They are confined in some tent an can talk/breathe normally, so I'm assuming time moves forward within the box (it only looks inversed from the outside).
Hence why I didn't get the 'healing in the inverse world' part, as the girl never goes out the box. And the whole aging thing.

Spoiler: | That's where the inconsistencies come in. Some of the scifi-theoretical reverse entropy in practice is flawed at times in the movie and doesn't make sense, have a plot-hole or just feels "off". For me that's offset by the good acting by the main characters and tight editing. |

Feast 2 & 3 - hot garbage/10
While first Feast was very enjoyable, second was a nightmare in photography and editing. Taken 3 over fence style editing and almost 90% of unconfortably close up shots. The 3rd was somehow more competent with a little better cinematography. A little, less close ups. Really don't watch if you don't have too.
Bitch Slap - 4.5/10
Well tits, exploitation, asses, tits, some plot. Well it's a grindhouse flick so don't expect much. All the stars from Xena and Hercules in cameos. How Kevin Sorbo ended in christian propaganda crap after this I dunno?

He had a clot in his leg I think. Because of the massage thing it travelled to his heart or whatever. That was a long time ago, I think he was still playing Hercules.

Unhinged (2020) - 6.5/10
Brutal scenes in this movie, and Russell Crowe is way over weight, bloated, but a gripping tale, with only the ending getting ridiculous, so points knocked off for that.
IT (2017) - 6.9/10
Seen it at cinema on release, but it still falls way short of Tim Curry's performance.
Apollo 13 (1995) - 8/10
Showing it's age now, but a really great movie of what was the 'finest hour' of NASA.

Unhinged (2020) - 8/10
Yeah i'd bump this one up to an 8, Russell Crowe's performance is top notch it's not a typical role for him to take on. He looks the part, is menacing as fuck and it's the right level of over the top and stupid to be entertaining.
