buster's mal heart (2017) - 2/5 struggling husband/father with paranoid tendencies goes a bit over the edge & becomes a unabomber-ish mountain man. i was enjoying it a fair bit for a good amount of its running time, but it has one of those big plot twists in the last third (i thought those were pretty badly out of fashion now), & it was one that really landed with a thud for me.

i finally caught it myself yesterday, and i very much agree. 3.5/5 it's really just fine, funny at times, mostly exciting, maybe a touch draggy in the middle, introduced some new things, some that were great, some that i could have done without. not perfect, but it's good stuff. | |

Much appreciated! In theory it’s to be read more like a poem written from the standpoint of the narrator’s (me?) reaction to and inspiration from this highly unconventional movie pondering the biggest questions humankind has been haunted with since the beginning of existence. The music from the film, especially the astonishing “I Get Overwhelmed”, is what was in my corded headphones (“end of an intimacy”) that finally brought it altogether for me. I watched this movie upon seeing it appear as the number 2 pick on damosuzuki’s 2017 list. It’s number one (humbly; I fully realize this is a “speck on a speck”) so far on my totally unmade list. | |

sweet kill (1972) - 0.5/5 grey, dreary, dull b-movie, deeply trashy & loaded with attractive & often naked women, but lacking a glimmer of drive or fun or energy. only noteworthy for its lead (tab hunter, post-stardom, pre-john waters) and the fact it's directed by curtis hanson, who'd go on to be a fairly big deal. hanson was a talented guy undoubtedly, & had a major career, but i can't imagine anyone saw that coming based on this thing. | |

This might be the greatest movie yet for me to link up with on the serious issues of time, connection, purpose, mattering, immensity, and creation. I’ve seen it twice so far. While watching “A Ghost Story” two recent movies came to my mind that deal with such profound existentialism: Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” and Darren Aronofsky’s “The Fountain”. Neither really connected that well with me. Perhaps someday on this very thread, or in a thousand other haunts, someone will help connect me here, or in countless other areas I’m not even barely aware of yet, or those that remain as frustratingly allusive as that puzzle piece you’d swear must have gone missing from the box. Pauline Kael, one of the greatest movie critics of all time, was someone who believed that you pretty much knew what you thought upon the credit roll, and that absolutely no movie needed to be sweated over, or even seen more than once. This of course is one terrifically enviable viewpoint from a highly intelligent human being that would work perfectly for any of us, and we’d all still have way more great than any of us could ever possibly consume in a lifetime. But as much as I love spontaneity, not giving over to deeper thought would for me only complete half of this masterpiece. Perhaps the other half of the best stuff in life comes through vigorously challenging our own endless failings? /// [Edited 1/12/18 17:10pm] | |

The Post 8/10
God bless Steven Spielberg. While initially feeling that the movie was kinda “Kings Speech” mechanical and cornball, i quickly realized what was unfolding. Spielberg was making an important history lesson accessible to the masses. Meryl Streep is amazing as always as is Bob Odenkirk. Tom Hanks is likeable as always but his performance feels too much like “acting” The film feels quickly put together because it was shot in May and released just a few months later. A fact that is is mind blowing learn. I would have given this a lower grade had it not been so important for everyone to see. Though it feels a little rough around the edges, it’s still the quality production you would expect from Steven Spielberg. Go see it and see a timely movie about the responsibility of the press, nepotism, and the need for an outlier where it comes to truth. [Edited 1/13/18 15:11pm] | |

I went skiing this morning. Before I hit the slopes, I had some breakfast at restaurant at the bottom of the mountain. Bad move. | |

After "Walking Tall" ended, I felt better so I went upstairs and watched another movie. This one was "Takers" a heist movie made in 2010. But I have a MAJOR GRIPE to air first. [Edited 1/13/18 15:23pm] | |
