You willfully paid to see Black Swan more than once?
You willfully paid to see Black Swan more than once?
I was like 17 give me a break.
I did like it, but it wasn't like a life-changing movie or anything for me. I just went because my friends loved it so I figured why not.
I have never saw a movie at the cinema more than once - just like i have never read a book more than once.
I did watch True Romance about 50 times when it came out on VHS though
Went to Downsizing this afternoon. I'd give it a 7.5/10. I really enjoyed it. Batshit-crazy premise pulled off nicely. Hong Chau stole the show, she was brilliant and very funny. She should get some award nods for that performance, she was excellent.
Let's Rid3!!!!
Ash vs. Evil Dead: Season 1 & 2.
I caught up and it's on Netflix. I would give 8/10. Some episodes were bloody & messed up.
Three Billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri: 9.5/10
"I guess we can decide on the way there"
This quote from Mildred (Frances McDormand) who plays the mother of a girl who was raped and murdered in a small town perfectly encapsulates the narrative and feel of this movie. The film starts with some light moments that rise above the somber tone, and then quickly spirals into an abyss of darkness that drags the viewer along for the ride and ultimately holds onto you as the final credits roll.
This movie has some dark comedic moments but it is not a dark comedy. It is first and foremost a drama about broken people and the choices they make to make their lives just a little better as they work with what they have. The aforementioned McDormand shines in her role as a mother who buys three billboards on a lonely stretch of road the calls out the police for not doing their job, and Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell provide excellent supporting roles and presence. There are even a few surprise performances scattered throughout, including a small but vital role by Peter Dinklage (Tyrion from Game of Thrones).
I had liked Martin McDonagh's previous films (In Bruges and the wonderfully dark Seven Psychopaths) but I never imagined he would be capable of a movie this good. The best film I have seen this year, even though it technically came out in late 2017. See it as soon as you can if you like great cinema, or consider yourself a film elitist like Buff.
