    The Witch (2015) ★★★★✩
    [​IMG]

    The innocence of children. The expectations of masculinity. The guilt of the sinner. There are many ways to run with this one, but female sexuality does seem to be at the core of it all. The crow picking at the breast. The female goat leaking blood from its udder as a cursed menstruation. An apple from paradise. A shrewd mother fears her daughter's burgeoning figure will corrupt her family.

    Robert Eggers' faithfulness to the historical account makes these issues extend beyond a specific family in the woods, turning them into an organic commentary of the times. The period setting is meticulously constructed. Every frame is postcard worthy. The Witch is a creepily patient slow burn and has deservedly claimed its place as the current indie-horror darling.

    This is so bizarre. With a 12 pack and a joint I would enjoy marathoning all these sloppy flicks. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.

    Just watched Room for the first time and it was incredible. Brie Larson was great as I expected after seeing her in 'Short Term 12' and the actor who played Jack was great as well. I really can't think of anything that was wrong with the film. It was full of different emotions and shot beautifully. It might be one of the best movies I've ever seen.

    Capote 8/10

    Stunning performance from Hoffman. I truly regret not having watched his movies earlier when he was still alive. He is my the most slept on actor. No doubt about that. His ability to act differently in every movie he stars in is incredible. The movie itself was also great, but I feel like it could have been a little longer, so as to it could develop the plot more extensively, especially the parts about the execution. I had a feeling it was a little bit rushed.

    The Burning (1981) ★★★✩✩
    [​IMG]

    Harvey Weinstein's first producer credit and one of his only writing credits. Tom Savini on the effects work. Prototypical camp slasher meets teen sex comedy. The first k--- is straight out of Michael Powell's Peeping Tom (1960) which kicks off a bunch of twisted sexual scenarios. It's not new for 80s slashers to be trashy, but I find this one especially gross. The highlights lie in Rick Wakeman's overbearing score, the wilderness survival aspect that surfaces halfway through, and the absurdly mean raft massacre. The final showdown is actually rather gripping and takes place in a wonderful location. Make no mistake, this is garbage, but uniquely shameless and cold garbage. Were the villain more memorable, this could've been a successful franchise.

    P.S. The Blu Ray transfer is gorgeous.

    Liar Liar

    this is one of my favorite jim carrey movies. pretty basic plot about a lawyer who has a shaky relationship with his son. however, the movie is carried by an awesome performance by carrey. he's at his best and keeps the laughs coming throughout the entirety of the film. it's a well-executed, fun, feel-good movie that has a lot of replay-value IMO

    8/10

    actually no..your opinion is yours...and I respect it..but in all honesty.. I don't need to see those other films to know they are s---, because k--- Bill is one of the best films of the 2000s. Regardless of what you think.. and that's a FACT.

    I have seen 3 of those films though.. Ichi the killer (which is the only good one of that bunch) Tokyo Gore Police which is fair & Toxic Avenger ( I still own the VHS) but to give all those films a 7/8 out of 10 and give k--- bill a 4?... makes me question your taste. I'm not saying you're wrong..because it's your opinion after all, just like when I said "What the s---" I expressed my opinion that k--- bill is better than all of those, which it is..lol no harm done man..you like what you like.

    The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    just watched the last movie in the dollars trilogy. this movie is very long, but i don't think it drags. while i can't speak for others, i think it probably held the audience's attention. pretty good performance by clint eastwood and the others and there's just enough action to keep things exciting but also not too much that they over-do it. good film

    8 out of 10

      Once Upon a Time in the West 1968
      ★★★★★ Watched 17 May, 2016

      [Review] 95/100 - Once Upon a Time in the West (Leone, 1968)

      Leone’s meticulous cinematography, iconic photography, and brilliant sound design distinguish Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) not only as a masterpiece but as one of the most important western-genre gems of the 20th century.

      Autumn Sonata 1978
      ★★★★½ Watched 16 May, 2016 2

      Intense, intimate, and brilliantly photographed. Ullman and Bergman are remarkably affecting in this powerful work.

      89/100 - Excellent.

      Captain America: Civil War 2016
      ★★★★ Watched 15 May, 2016

      Visceral action surmounts from the human, psychological, and existential conflicts of heroes. In spite of certain failings, it is sensibly written and directed with thematic development in mind.

      80/100 - Great.

      Michael 1924
      ★★★½ Watched 11 May, 2016

      Appears simplistic and conventional but truly rather complex, nuanced, and formally innovative. The early call of a future master.

      79/100 - Very Good.

      Varda's deconstruction of a moment, a memory, a photograph becomes a provocative glimpse of life caught in dream.

      84/100 - Great.
