The Witch

Holy ****. That was amazing.

Spoiler for Also,:

I obviously should and will watch it again. It's not like it doesn't have a crazy amount of replay value though.

Blue Ruin

Hitchcock revolutionized the concept of suspense in film, but I think that Salnier makes some of the most nailbiting scenes in film history. So far, he's kind of built his premises around capitalizing on that talent of his in that his characters are in totally new and hopeless situations while sticking around for two hours. The acting was out of this world, too. I liked the intimacy and overall premise of The Green Room, but I'm with the general consensus that Blue Ruin is better.

Talk Radio

I really like this movie. This is the second time I've watched it in a couple years.
If only I could find more movies like this: Movies driven 100% by dialogue.
Movies that manage to feel snappy and driven, dramatic and interesting,
despite being all about dialogue and monologues.

Movies I know that fit this category:

Talk Radio
My Dinner With Andre
Carnage
Glen Garry Glen Ross
Good Night and Good Luck

I need to find more. Anybody have some good suggestions?

Latest first time watch: I watched Suicide Squad a few days ago. It definitely didn't deserve all the flack it got.

I watched Deadpool for the third time last night. I love dark humor.

12 Angry Men not being on your list disturbs me. Have you seen it?

I have been told to watch it a 1.000 times but still somehow managed not to. I have no explanation.

You know what to do.

I added it to my watchlist. No idea why I always forgot about it previously. It was always one of those "oh yeah I should probably watch that" movies.

12 Angry Men has one of the best cast ensembles ever. It felt like the cast was a real jury, not just a bunch of great actors.

There was sooooooooo much work put into the cinematography to maintain an element of realism to the film that flies in the face of it simply being the supernatural. On the scenes that step away from reality a bit, a few of my initial thoughts are The witch bathing in the newborn baby represents how women of the time had to give them life or allow them to ascend in status. That sick bitch in the woods raped Caleb! The ending was a metaphor for Thomason's selling herself to another farm to survive, as it is the only world she knows. In addition to point one, she knew little happiness in her home life and the small joys in her life make her happier than what she knew with her family. Caleb coughed out the apple because...I have no **ing idea. EDIT: Oh, that's right! I forgot they were shouting about serpents and ** in that scene, which is obviously an Adam and Eve reference. So...the witch and/or Thomason corrupted him and it became his death or...something. I'm still not too sure on this one. I obviously should and will watch it again. It's not like it doesn't have a crazy amount of replay value though.
