My kind of movie! A story that could well be true. Great dialogue,perfectly delivered (Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are just 👌),lots of attention to detail, interestingly filmed, great charactersthroughout, funny, heartbreaking. Remarkable front to back!
Loved the atmosphere of this film. And that it’s filmed in black andwhite. So, visually, this was already nice. Pair this with an Iranianvampire girl protagonist, great humour and a top-notch soundtrack andyou have a very fun movie!
I probably didn’t fully appreciate V’s lyrical outpour, but I stillenjoyed it very much. Lot’s of “1984”, conspiracy-theories themes and aninteresting master-apprentice kind of relationship. Nice one!
Russian Circles is the instrumental post-metal band I keep coming back to.
That middle riff in “Conduit” is just perfect!
Jason must stink for miles by now. It’s a miracle he’s still able to surprise-kill anyone at this point.
For me, same is true as with part 6: not the best, not the worst (I think?!). I somewhat liked the ending when Jason’s “face” is revealed and everything explodes. The supernatural hocus-pocus wasn’t that bad either.
Oh, yeah, and I found the very ending hilarious where the one firefighter shows the other where there’s more fire to extinguish – as if that wasn’t obvious.
On to part eight…
This episode certainly has humour! Jason seems to be surprised by hisown new-found super-strength. And that makes for some funny kills.
It’s mostly fun to watch (if you’re into that stuff). We certainlyalways have an enjoyable evening progressing through this series. Butultimately, it suffers from the same issues most other parts sufferfrom. Not the worst so far, but no the best either.
Ok, I have much to complain about with this one. This feels like 80% endless action scenes and 20% story. If you’re into those bullet-time, kung-fu, wire-flying, super-CGI, camera-flying scenes, that will be just your thing, I guess. But I found this eye-rollingly boring. This could have been a one-hour film. It’s not like I dislike all of it; there were certainly good scenes – even partly said action scenes! But overall it’s way too long and unsubstantial. It’s even like the story didn’t progress at all in this.
At least Trinity could simply ssh into a computer and disable the emergency power supply of that building with a simple terminal command. Much more realistic than those UIs in their real world.
And it had RATM in the ending credits.
What a likeable dude, this John Carpenter. Just doing his thing, makingthe films he wants to make; not giving a shit what others think.Although having “The Thing” flop commercially really got to him. And hehad every right to be upset about this; because it’s such a terrificfilm. Anyhow, this documentary gives lots of insights about his carrierand his filmography. Worth a watch, especially when you’re into hiswork!
A great documentary about a great album. Lots of fantastic interviewswith the people involved as well as notable critics of the time. It’s alot about how this album came to be and what its unexpected successmeant for Nirvana and music (-history) in general. Some excellent livefootage, too.
Still not much to complain about. Such a classic!
Damn! This film!
I bought clicky switches for my Planck (Kailh Box Blue‘s). And new keycaps, too.
This is very much a film for grown-ups. Enjoyed the avalanche ofconversations and happenings triggered by that one incident. It‘s attimes very subtle and overall well written. Maybe the ending bit was alittle forced. But other than that, I can recommend this!
I’m pretty obsessed with this song. And something with delay is usually very fun to play!
The last month has been unusually concert-heavy. I saw
Wow! This had it all! In 1968! Slow zombies (or „ghouls“), and lot‘s of them that then do indeed get dangerous, TV and radio broadcasts about the outbreaks, flesh- and gut-eating, a child zombie slaughtering and feasting on its parents, conflicts between the living, boarded doors and windows, zombie hands reaching in, stuffed animal heads, power outage, eerie lighting, an escape mission gone wrong, and a mean end etc etc. Sure, it also has some shortcomings, but overall I was left super-impressed with this one. Was way ahead of its time!
Saw the restored 4k version at the Metropol. It looked fantastic!
Woah, ok. It‘s all fun and games until that plot twist. And then it hits you straight in the guts. So this is not a film I can recommend for some light entertainment evening, but I think it‘s absolutely worth a watch, as it has such a gripping story, great acting and is masterfully filmed and edited IMHO.
