Letterboxd — Your life in film

Great cast. And, intentionally or not, an interesting exploration of how corporations devalue human lives and should not be in charge of expeditions to space.

Fun.

This movie rips. It's better-lit, better choreographed, and has a significantly tighter structure than the previous entry in the franchise. It might very well be the best of the modern monsterverse.

Easily in the top half of the Tremors franchise.

Fuck yeah, I watched Con Air!

Donnie Yen fights Scott Adkins. The rest is good, too.

There is a sequence in this movie that involves breaking into a police station that is among the most fun things I've seen in a modern DC movie. Beyond that, it has a very several-music-videos-stitched-together quality to it.

This movie is basically a Mission: Impossible movie in which Donnie Yen, as the Ethan Hunt of the scenario, is a hero, but his coworkers hate the amount of trouble he causes and his famous actress fiancé dumps him because he’s a workaholic. He spends six months in a depressive episode eating junk and watching Bruce Lee movies. This informs a third act that involves Extra-Thicc Donnie Yen parkouring through a Tokyo neighborhood set, high-kicking the shit out of nameless baddies. I enjoyed it very much.

This is like a Terrence Malick movie, but the most fucked up, violent, weird possible version. Yes, that means Richard Stanley is Cosmic Horror Terrence Malick.

My experience with this film came with a lot of hype from people who understand my taste. And guess what? It worked out. It's a lil' slow down the middle, but this Russian movie is wildly violent in a way that's intoxicating.

Thoroughly delighted by Eddie Murphy and the rest of this cast. Craig Brewer, as always, has such wonderful rhythm. Doesn't feel like a complete picture of Rudy Ray Moore's life, but it's definitely the fun part.

Digital fur technology, still weird.
