Thoughts on The Endless

The Endless is a really clever movie. It captures the spirit of Lovecraft and weaves it into a subtle tale about a UFO cult. The acting was great and the effects worked to suit the story. If you like Lovecraft or bizarre and original stories  this will be up your alley.

Thoughts on Eraserhead

 Eraserhead is a bizarre movie. The visuals do the bulk of the labor telling a story of a new father and the anxieties and stress that come with it. It is difficult to follow and perplexing. I can’t say I’d recommend this unless you are looking for more challenging cinema.

Thoughts on Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me

Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me is interesting. It is very bizarre but works with the television series. For a prequel it does it’s job. The acting is great and if you enjoyed the show you will likely enjoy this movie. It is missing a lot of the humor and silly charm. It still somehow works. 

Thoughts on Soul

 Soul was delightful. It is abstract and clever and treats the audience like they are smart enough for deep concepts. It is a lovely tale that takes you on a bizarre journey with images reminiscent of Dr. Suess and the Apple Computer aesthetic. Check it out if you are wanting a truly thought provoking movie experience.

Thoughts on WW84

WW84 is a dumb movie. The dialogue is pedestrian. The characters are cartoonish and the CG action makes the movie lack any depth. Nothing felt realistic or threatening. I did find Maxwell Lord compelling at first, but when the movie stopped caring, I did too. I still have no idea why it had to take place in the 80s. I don’t recommend the movie. If it wasn’t on HBO I would’ve been upset to have seen it in theaters.

Thoughts on Happiest Season

 Happiest Season is a pretty cute Christmas movie. It has real issues in the plot without being too heavy handed. The actors do a great job. The story is a bit silly, as is the conclusion but in terms of holiday movies cheese, it is one of the tamest on the market. It’s worth checking out when you are burnt on on the classics.

Thoughts on Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm

Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm is okay. The comedy is effective at times. It is not as funny or extreme as the first. It is worth seeing if bored. The plot is predictable but the pranks make it entertaining enough.
