Breaking news, apparently Martin McDonagh and John Michael McDonagh are TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

Mad Max: Fury Road

For the second time. Gotta find the "making of" to see how some of those crazy ass chase scenes were done.

Still my all time favorite chase scene by a wide margin. Hard to believe that Friedkin could top the one in French connection, but he did it by a pretty wide margin.

Évolution (2015)

A little boy finds a dead body at sea. I'd say more but you should definitely go into this more or less blind plotwise. It is stunningly shot in a beautiful yet stoic manner that almost overwhelms the minimalist plot and cold atmosphere. Don't be fooled by my adorement of the film's visuals though, it definitely goes into some dark territories. Thematically it's a little hard to unpack exactly what it's trying to say but that just makes me want to watch it again. A 4/5 at the very least.

Phantom Thread

so as far as film making and cinematography this is by far Anderson's opus. Writing though....he has done better. That's not to say that this is not good...actually it was enthralling and almost too perfect

Lewis and Krieps were stellar in it but Manville really stole the show

Basically it is a love story with a P T Anderson twist

For a love story it is unbelievably sterile in every way....which actually works so well in this

I really cannot go much into it it with out revealing it so i'll just say that in every way this film is very well done and while it's not his best film it is in my opinion of high ranking

I read someone describe Phantom Thread as ''basically Gone Girl, but for repressed gays."

Very hyped for Phantom. Too bad it's the last we will see of Daniel Day Lewis (probably).

It's fantastic. Sort of PTA lite though, but nonetheless worthy of best picture. Maybe.

If you think I'm not watching the third Cloverfield after the game tonight you're sorely mistaken.

I don't really know what to think. It's overly complicated to a brutal fault. That last shot was not how I wanted to remember the first Cloverfield.

I don't know what the fuck happened. 10 Cloverfield Lane was a solid film, but this one... This one's frustrating. Theirs a decent flick somewhere in this, but have fun finding it.
