  Blade Runner 2049 2017

  ★★★★½ Watched by Crawlspace Dweller Matt [♥] 20 Jan 2022

  "Sometimes to love someone you gotta be a stranger."

  This late sequel succeeds at building on the original film ten-fold with immense world-building and incredibly engaging visual presentation.
  There are tons of fantastic performances here from people like Ana De Armas, Robin Wright, Dave Bautista, Carla Juri, and Barkhad Abdi. Even smaller characters that only have one scene get enough time to breathe and live out their role, all of them adding a lot to the world. Gosling makes for…

  "You know what my son brought me for breakfast this morning? Dog shit."

  Uwe Boll's Auschwitz might be his most genius project.

  This man's entire career is based on fraud and hate. He made money by getting the rights for videogame franchises (even though he hates videogames) and making deliberately terrible films that have barely anything to do with the source material. To add to his image, he makes fun of his critics and builds up a solid infamy that…
