A recipe for a Soderbergh streaming era caper rendered an ugly, stillborn mess of buzzwords and tryhard quips. Marginally better than Road House if you value unremarkable bad over interesting bad. being a Doug Liman completist has become a miserable occupation since the pandemic

Ethan's in total hired hand mode here -- although hardly anybody could have done more with pre-existing (and very Lewis-centered) material only and the task being a postmortem celebratory doc. That Jerry Lee's achievements include marrying a teenage relative is a fact Coen & Cooke don't entirely shy away from: they ostensibly try to avoid lecturing and let us draw far-reaching conclusions* for ourselves. And featured interview excerpts make Lewis look an egotistical dork anyway, don't they? Well, it's just the very structure of this film almost tempts to shrug the troubling (and brief) parts off and enjoy one terrific performance after another -- which I refuse to believe was a result of requested approach and not an act of deliberate softening. Why the hell else did they choose to include "He had many demons" (citing JLL's ex-wife and cousin on some talk show) over "I had been subject to every type of physical and mental abuse imaginable", as Myra Gale Brown put it in her divorce papers? With the facts concealed and no stance behing the images, there can be only so much tension between them, and this is guilty of both. At least now we know some fella Jerry Lee Lewis was really good at piano!

*You could draw a straight line between any given performer's off-stage debauchery, cultural climate they were raised in and the content of their songs, but I have yet to see a single music documentary acknowledge, let alone explore that

Two hours of TV coverage and Zimmer placeholder strings, wall-to-wall 'apolitical' vacuum where Hollywood centrism and polished fascism meet and shake hands. No less heinous than praise from the right and mockery from the left have led me to believe, this thing is hellbent on blaming the poor for their plight and framing intergenerational domestic abuse as a necessary step to success. The way this glosses over any political or racial tension needs to be studied.

Our protagonist JD Vance labels his offscreen service in Iraq 'a great experience' OH AND ALSO JD Vance's granny Mamaw says 'There are good Terminators, bad Terminators and neutral Terminators' as a life lesson. This is never leaving my head, right?

Brings just enough self-awareness and Tony Scott sunsets to keep you invested, lands on that awkward middle ground between a sincerely offensive throwback and a genuine head-on with what Axel Foley and his old movies really are. Second-best of the series

The simple joy the first Cop gives -- watching underdog Murphy mess with a generic screenplay -- is history the moment superstar Murphy enters the frame. Virtually no component of this bizarre franchise is functional -- some might say until Murphy starts foul-mouthing his way through these ruins? As for me, I've always considered him annoying even if restrained (watch 48 Hrs for the latter), and here, left all alone with his ever-bloating appetite, he goes well above the speed limit in a manner not remotely tolerable anymore. Found myself really feeling for all those poor working class folks subjected to Axel F's 100 mph banter. Terrified sight unseen of what's next

Miller had his share of fun infusing the opening half-hour with wild transitions and operatic grandeur (you might even start wondering if he has too much sauce to sell this -- already monumental -- tearjerker of a story). Sadly, after the illness takes over, it's pretty reserved visually and pretty unengaging story-wise, standard real-life inspirational fare with little to no room for exploring anything apart from 'isn't it horrifying when children die in pain?' Could use one more meaningful perspective instead of chopped up hints at a dozen perspectives instead. Mostly resorts to showing some ugly ways grief manifests itself in. Big, corny, fine. Sarandon gives it all. [Insert here a Nick Nolte Accent Joke to your liking]

Mann's Blue Velvet, haunting and hopeful. Luck hasn't run out yet.

This review may contain spoilers.

ATJ's Furiosa shows little immediate response towards all the physical and psychological torment inflicted on her: she hardly notices pain and chooses action over grief. Theron's intensity makes us feel every wound, scar, and wave of despair. Chapter 6: Fury Road now plays out like an act of attempted healing from that lifelong trauma including somewhat cathartic self-permission to be vulnerable again, and when she finally lets it all out... Just obliterating.

'How long has it been?'

'Seven thousand days. And the ones I don't .'

'What happened to your mother?'

'She died. On the third day.'

Just as its precursor, an absolute feast of idiosyncratic choices rooted deep in genre traditions and yet looking achingly relevant, almost disruptive. As far as the mastery of image, effects, & action goes, Miller's body of work should be mentioned alongside Cameron's and Spielberg's, but his Wasteland Revisited diptych bears no shade of conservative (not to read 'reactionary'!) politics or aesthetics that have come to define their late films. Instead, he offers us an ultimate redemption meta-story -- redemption of masculinity, the creation myth, and more -- told through some of the best action scenes ever witnessed. Epic, epic, epic

Watched on Tuesday June 11, 2024.

Part of me wants to indulge in nitpicking, and there is plenty to mock in these sloppy, anticlimactic, annoying cartoons, but the other part is in awe of how many big swings Miller took, action- and storywise, even if the latter mostly don't have room to breathe. And yet, from the mumble (pun intended) of it all emerges a complex, inspired worldview where villains are fears and prejudices, and music saves the day, a dozen storylines at a time. Guy who only watched Fury Road will get a lot of Fury Road vibes from Happy Feet which is a compliment to Miller. Its shot and action design wouldn't look out of place in the Wasteland as well as its notes on redemption, religion, or climate crisis, though intertwined nowhere near as gracefully as in our favorite chase movie. Bring on Furiosa!

It will take hold of you and you will resent its absense

Man and Woman atone for their sins, return to Paradise and destroy God -- the myth of the new world is the myth of ours told in reverse.

Still a masterpiece

Operation Fortune was Guy Ritchie faking himself, this is Guy Ritchie faking Operation Fortune (and also finding an excuse to fully lean into triumphant bloodthirst and unabashed jingoism -- an excuse that already questionable The Covenant still didn't provide). No running gags this time, the weakest Benstead score, Til Schweiger as discount Hans Landa and insanely hot cast generating as much chemistry as dead Walter White (Alan Ritchson and Eiza Gonzalez shine through this dreck, but alas). Would love to see anyone doing more than their schtick -- a silly request if even the banter here underwhelms. Maybe 'one for them, two for me every year' was not a reliable creative endeavor.

Fun fact: Russian distributor renamed it The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Affairs because anyone could technically be arrested, fined, or sentenced to years in prison for mentioning the word 'war' in media

Villeneuve is still the director haters think Nolan is

Like Saint Maud, bites off a little too much, but this is more of a virtue in the land of excessive, nightmarish crime flicks Love Lies Bleeding cultivates. Essentially a sapphic Wild at Heart that also crashed romantic sweetness in a mudpool of darker, twistier emotions. I'm not on board with all of it -- the way it handled the very last thing happening before the credits was a significant bump, far more than the WTF-climax everyone raves about -- but still, what a picture

I struggled to connect with anything by Kaurismäki all the way through, but goddamn, did he finally get me. Not a masterpiece (and sort of defies the word) but as close as it gets: a fragile marvel of mishaps and serendipities that honors all of culture, from silent cinema to pop songs, in the face of the actual apocalypse. Aki's weirdos have hardly been so vivid and humane, so capable of change. I cried

The closing line alone is something you earn only when looking back at lifetime's work. Unreal

Watched on Wednesday March 20, 2024.

-- Contains a handful of lines in my native tongue (Russian), so I can, at last, fully appreciate the levels of unnatural Aki goes for*. The Finnish actress who played a Kazakhstani refugee did a very good job, and it was nice to hear some actual, well-written (if overly bookish) Russian in a foreign film, not the usual mix of vaguely Eastern-European sounds and syllables. Low-key wondering if Kaurismäki knows Kazakhstan and Russia are separate states.

-- How come this is post-Match Factory Girl? Can't wrap my mind around the fact Aki once dissected his made-up world of false comfort and improbable love and then went on like it never happened.

*My attitude towards his work did made a U-turn, though, when I learnt his characters speak highly stylized, anachronistic Finnish

This review may contain spoilers.

-- Trades wholesome 80s cheese for juiceless, awkwardly cut imitations of such and all the worst action and production trends of today (yes, 'AI voices' they allegedly used to finish it during the strikes were audible). To no surprise, the new one is painfully self-aware, 10 minutes longer, several characters shorter, and doesn't know what to do with who's left. Awful

-- Old Dalton's crystal-clear arc -- inner darkness confronted and rejected through love -- gets so indecisively convoluted that casting Gyllenhaal in psycho mode ultimately amounts to nothing

-- Again, unlike in the original, before the final showdown they make sure nobody could or would interfere or help. One could draw a parallel between this and the decreasing agency of regular people in modern superhero stories

-- Conor McGregor was seemingly asked to act in a way that will make us say 'Hey, when is this guy getting his own spin-off?' and that's why I'd rather forget he was even there. Please don't start ROAD HOUSE cinematic universe

playing Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band - P.I.M.P. (50 Cent Instrumental Cover) out loud and shaking my head so everyone knows I disagree with it

High-concept but anemic and unconvincing. Kaurismäki restores his wooden world of male fantasies after giving it a seemingly lethal blow in THE MATCH FACTORY GIRL. I won't even bother to look up whether it's a parody, because 90% of movie romances from 40s to 90s* (especially arthouse ones) are as laughable, forced, and lacking in genuine emotion as this one. Couldn't in a ten years deduce what binds these two or those two together besides the genre they're in.

*90% of movie romances from 20s to 40s I've seen so far are like 'We opened a blissful world of undying love to each other many years ago and either talk about it or make out when we're together' which is the same but surprisingly more believable!

major 'fine, grandpa, let's get you to bed' energy

Massacres any kind of relief Aki's characters used to get. Love, family, art, work, all in sync to destroy you, and the outer world offers no peace. LENINGRAD COWBOYS eased pain and confusion with absurdity, this one is all ultra-minimalistic hellscape. The good and the evil sides of Kaurismäki's style at its finest, not sure how and if he'll top these.

-- Lots of moments to cry during the final stretch (9-12), but Bix humming along to the funeral march from her cell absolutely destroys me every time

-- My roommate has been fully invested from the start, loved it and already hypes up ANDOR to his friend... the Rebellion is growing

-- I had high hopes for 'Aki Kaurismäki Goes Jarmusch' and wasn't disappointed. Has a lot to do with the language barrier gone and a style I don't particularly get switched to the one I cherish; but at the same time with Aki's trademark weirdness and fakeness at last fully embraced. Unexpectedly, whenever they give way for quiet, heart-melting sincerity or crooked satire, it *hits*.

-- All-timer 'Born To Be Wild' cover (do yourself a favor): www.youtube.com/watch?v=voZRW71N3Cs

While I'm slowly drifting to the idea that my struggle with any auteurial film is my problem and/or just a matter of right time, mood, and state of mind, I still feel like Aki's works don't fully come together (apart from his -- conceptually brilliant? -- literary adaptations). Kaurismäki's stories are, at their core, fables, parables and allegories, so the appropriate level of naivety ensues; but that gritty working-class world these stories take place in isn't artificial enough to match the vibes of time-travelled Wes Anderson sidekicks who inhabit it and is seldom realistically complex to reveal hidden truths about them and itself. So close but not quite there

(ongoing rewatch; s01e07)

Ridiculously compelling

Halfway through rewatching Season 1 with my roommate and having the best time. FYI, I sincerely believe one of my life's missions is to persuade everyone I know to watch ANDOR

Oh man...

We've seen Matthew Vaughn become the worst version of himself -- well, here comes the blandest. ARGYLLE is 10 minutes of bloodless action combined vs two hours of expired cliches and pandering, its romance devoid of chemistry, its setpieces of physicality, Vaughn's sinister political leanings replaced by tiresome streaming-era-spy-universe bullshit (but they're still patting CIA on the back?) and all of that is drowned in the ever-present Apple TV+'s drab digital sheen. I find myself almost sorely missing those times when the likes of Vaughn and Snyder kept giving us inspired, occasionally right-wing nonsense that was at least fun to watch and fun to hate. There's nothing fun about Argylle.

The dialogue and its delivery in early Kaurismäki are so uncanny and cringeworthy, there must be one of these three reasons why:

a) it's humorous in a very specific way and I just keep bouncing off (CALAMARI UNION seems to be the case)

b) it's a young director's inexperience and/or disinterest in traditional acting

c) it's just how routine conversations are held in Finland

Villeneuve is the director haters think Nolan is

Cannot, of course, rival one of the most densely written movies ever that is HIGH NOON but has the guts to render Connery's crusade as meaningless for everyone but him as possible. The only way out of the system is out

-- An ode to empty churches, dirty tunnels and deep black vs fire on film which also happens to be a ridiculous high-concept ride where Arnie figths Satan and guilt with fists, guns and helicopters. My first foray into the Hyams territory went great

-- Filmmaking lesson #422: if your premise is 'Schwarzenegger's character named JERICHO CANE fully commits to his mission to stop Gabriel Byrne's Satan from conceiving Antichrist', be humble, commit just as hard and we'll respect this as an audience (I mean, not immediately but 25 years later? Sure!)

This is like a (good) feature-length version of a fake-kids-movie-in-the-background running gag from an actual Charlie Kaufman movie

-- The whole thing just screams 'we had to cut costs and schedule for every other setpiece in order to make a decent final fight' and you know what? Cannot complain.

-- Presents itself just a little more straightfaced than your average MCU stuff with earnestly hilarious results. That's a joke I'm eager to be in on.

-- Like, two stars, this is the way
