Absolute trash but there's some meta-joys to be found in OG action hero Sean Connery being all grumpy when confronted with these kids and their CGI bullshit.
]]>Sporadicus.
]]>Obviously the least competent movie to have two Oscar winning actors in it, but having fun coming up with an alternative.
]]>Sometimes you just want to spend three hours with most self-involved, annoying men on Earth.
]]>Feels like a movie written by a nine-year old (derogatory).
I was sure I had seen this when I was little but I only recognised a few scenes so I probably came in halfway through. So rude to Lois Lane!
]]>I'm gonna complain quite a bit about this movie which I enjoyed a whole lot of.
The big thing is that what should have been a joyous celebration of what has (up until now) been cinema's most joyous franchise instead comes off as a dour memorial. The first hour so badly feels the need to connect this movie to the entire previous series that it adds several scenes of connective tissue that were in no way needed. On top of that, the plot is so much more complicated than it needs to be and the tone is more self-serious than if has ever been before. Also, if you're gonna spend this much time on the intricacies of a plot it had better be airtight and this is clearly not.
Having said all that, so much of this is still pure catnip to me and a recut of the first half had bumped the entire experience up to four stars anyway. Because when set pieces start happening, this is still as good as Hollywood has ever been at making them. It does solidify the greatness of M:I FALLOUT that the structure of the climax often seems a repeat of that undeniable success.
If this is the end, I will miss this series. I just wish I walked out on clouds, not ready to say goodbye.
Shout out to Katy O'Brian, one out of two dozen great actors who get too little screen time in the movie but she's the one that shines brightest despite that.
]]>Secret musical where Paul Robeson's presence and singing is the high point in what is otherwise a pretty basic adventure story.
]]>The best action sequences in Hollywood filmmaking undercut by an overabundance of needless plot. The first 25 minutes are honestly inexplicably boring and way too complicated. Thankfully that's offset by an extraordinary final train hour.
]]>Slightly tepid when compared to the earlier entries. There's still entertainingly crazy bits here but they're fewer and further apart. All in all I will be recommending SbMD 1 through 3 to people, but I'm not sure you need to stick with it through the Jeff Hare entries.
]]>All of these movies exist on a spectrum between fun and gross and this one unfortunately swings a bit the wrong way. Still some stellar Beck moments like the breakdown in the bathroom and having fun with anagrams.
]]>Nicely acted, great 70s atmosphere but it feels like a weird attempt to remake Bergman as something less Bergman-y. Coming up next: Guy Ritchie's THE SILENCE.
]]>"I borrowed your toothbrush, hope you don't mind!"
A delightfully weird sequel which adds musical numbers, Dragon Tattoo-revenge and Dexter-style ghosts to Roberts' already impressive psycho depiction.
]]>Some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen in a movie, but no less entertaining because of it. Can't wait to see where this goes from here. THE PANCAKES SPELLED OUT "AMY"!
]]>High level trash that would probably be unwatchable without the absolutely committed Eric Roberts performance. As it is, I howled with laughter on a dozen occasions and followed a great drinking game.
]]>These parents are so terrible they don't notice their kid has been replaced since the last movie.
Bears all the hallmarks of a movie made in less than a year: 75 minutes long before credits and it has long cuts to black which usually in film language is meant to mark time ing or something dramatic happening but here is just a way to move from one scene to the next. Cheap and weird, Heckerling's usual good taste in needledrops is the one saving grace.
]]>Holy shit, just when I thought it couldn't get any dumber the official police psychic got involved. Enormous fun, you'll never look at a rhoomba the same way.
]]>Did you ever think you would see Albert Finney as a dodge-rolling action hero with a light gun? Well, from the looks of it, neither did he.
Fascinating in several ways including predicting a lot of existing technologies that are creating problems today. However, the last 30 minutes turns into a series of pretty tepid chase sequences. Great score though.
]]>What starts out interesting and detailed unfortunately becomes maudlin and obvious before the end.
]]>This review may contain spoilers.
Tremendously entertaining while being dumber than a bag of geodes. By the time Laura Linney slaughters gorillas with a laser rifle you'll be fully satisfied. Lovely B-movie performances from Hudson and Curry.
]]>I ed this from my childhood as "the one where Superman loses his powers" and so it was funny to realize that he loses them between minute 72 and minute 85.
Lots of silliness but the actors are great and the final fight is lots of fun.
]]>Ned Beatty is the one steady, dependable presence in what is otherwise one of the more incompetent professionally made movies I've ever seen. After a truly insane opening scene it quickly seems to become bored with itself.
]]>Time travel, a concept which always has the potential to be supremely stupid if not carefully thought through, has probably never been dumber than here. Nevertheless, there's not actually much of it.
Instead it's 90% half-assed medieval adventure. Gerry Butler and Anna Friel are pretty, Connoly, Sheen and Thewlis are always fun even in lesser fare, and Walker and O'Connor pretty much blend into the walls. There are fun, dumb bits but it's incredibly unmemorable. Always nice too see where Donner fit his lucky charm (and cousin) Steve Kahan into the proceedings.
]]>Very entertaining 70's paranoia thriller heightened by Bujold's performance and character (the rare great female character in Crichton's ouevre). Genuinely suspenseful and a nice late appearance from my noir favorite Widmark.
]]>Yes, there are some issues with the representation of indigenous cultures here (even if I was honestly expecting worse). But it's beautifully filmed, the Technicolor intermingling fairly seamlessly with the nature photography. And there are several impressive sequences, including several which must have been direct inspirations for Spielberg making JP. Also, I'll take my Deborah Kerr any way I can.
]]>Hadn't seen this since I was a child but it is still very charming even if some things haven't aged great (Travolta is fun, but his character is an asshole). Willis is a perfect choice for baby voice and Heckerling's usual panache for picking needle drops really helps.
]]>Loses all the tremendous, unique atmosphere of the first two TCM movies and becomes just another slasher. As such, it's okay (thank The Saw that Ken Foree is here to give the proceedings any personality at all) but highly forgettable. A third of the movie is underlit nighttime scenes of people running around in bushes.
That's one hell of a waterproof chainsaw though.
]]>Very entertaining and just enough of a commentary on what a skeevy shitshow Westworld is even before it all goes haywire.
]]>Pretty impressive retelling of the fighting in Bastogne that is more focused on the ensemble than the battles.
]]>Feels like watching a porn movie without almost any sex scenes, which must be the epitome of pointlessness. Even what little story there is feels deeply dishonest since it's equal parts "Our privacy is under attack!" and "It's exciting as hell to spy on girls undressing".
Had some mild fun with the extreme 70's of it all.
]]>Beautifully shot and very well-acted. But at this point we've seen so many studies of rage-fuelled men that you really need to bring something new to the picture. As is it mostly inspired a dozen "Men would rather..." jokes. But the main point is well-made: fathers, teach your sons its okay to feel emotions beyond anger.
Works best when it's at it's weirdest and most esoteric (the stone, the kids program, the therapy).
]]>James Coburn as the Dirty Harry of doctors is a pretty fun idea and this is entertainingly sleazy throughout.
]]>There's enough bits here that make me laugh, even though every time they visit a new country the movie gets less funny.
]]>You'd think a movie centered around the American President being a dumb orange ragemonster would have a bit more juice right now, but this is just lame and forgettable in every way. It especially sucks that they utterly botched the plotline with the wonderful Carl Lumbly which was the only worthwhile part of THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER.
]]>Decent enough TV thriller with a good cast (Ben Gazzara and EG Marshall pretty much being middle-aged Batman and The Joker in their relationship) and absolutely bumpin' Jerry Goldsmith score. Also uses the 24 clock at commercial breaks 30 years before 24.
]]>This seems like it's just Season 1 (weird, Letterboxd, when will there be any clear rules regarding which TV is added and which is not?) but even on this second viewing Season 1 of Undone is one of the loveliest, saddest, trippiest pieces of television I've experienced. The idea and animation is stellar but it wouldn't work without the dialogue and the actors delivering it. Salazar and Odenkirk are just next-level wonderful here.
Season 2 is also very worthwhile even if it doesn't reach the same mind-boggling heights.
]]>Slightly uneven but just beautiful, original and wonderfully acted. Age comes for us all. The original legacy sequel. Richard Harris does more with his 15 minutes than most of us will do in a lifetime.
]]>Watched on Sunday May 4, 2025.
]]>Not as successful as the best ZAZ movies but plenty of laughs nonetheless and the cast is good.
]]>Silly hippie fun mostly saved by early performances from Lithgow and Hershey.
]]>Enjoyed it more than last time but it's a weird one.
Also, if Superman prioritises saving Lois the second time around, doesn't it mean he isn't there to save the village from the flood created by the dam rupturing?
]]>Genuine charmer balancing typical dumb sex teen comedy with some actual character work. I know it would piss him off to no end, so I'll say it: Sean Penn has never been better.
]]>I understand there's nostalgia here for those who saw it as kids when it was part of a ride, but seeing it on YouTube as an adult it plays like a lesser Farscape episode with a terrible lead actor (he sure can dance though).
]]>Very sweet and funny, like a slower and more reflective BACK TO THE FUTURE. Absolutely insane Cage performance and it had me goggling just how old Jim Carrey is.
]]>Looks amazing and the music is wonderful. It's just too bad the story is kinda uninspired and uninteresting. It only really ever meets it's potential when Raul Julia is on screen (or Nastassja Kinski is performing circus acts).
]]>Kinda underrated as an old-timey melodrama. So much of Coppola's 80's seems to have been dedicated to reminding us of and reviving cinema of the past and this kinda does for Vietnam what homebound dramas like SINCE YOU WENT AWAY did for WWII. Not amazing, but very solid. A good cast doing good work and James Earl Jones being the standout eating scenery from here to Honolulu.
]]>Looks absolutely amazing, but loses me somewhere in the second half. Perhaps it's because Dillon can't quite match the quality of the assured, calm, dream-like performance Rourke is giving. Rusty-James is such a whiny dumbass it's hard to feel for him. Lots to love here though.
]]>Vibrant, innovative, delicious filmmaking. Francis one-upping Marty by doing THE AVIATOR quicker and better 15 years before.
]]>If that's the devil's music, you will find me on the devil's side every time.
]]>A trashy low budget charmer that is maybe not good exactly, but never not fun (I saw the recut version). Nice in these days after Kilmer's ing to see one of his final lead performances, including a Brando-as-Kurtz imitation. There's some mood here as well as several laughs. Fun, unhinged Bruce Dern.
]]>Absolutely fascinating how successful Coppola is in making this look exactly like a movie from the early 60's (when it is set). Gloriously old fashioned in how it's shot, a beautiful ensemble of 80's fuckboys and a queer subtext that is so unavoidable to add onto the proceedings these days that you have to assume it was intentional. These young rough'n'tumble boys, quoting poetry to each other at sunrise...
Also blows my mind thar Macchio is three years older than Dillon but looks ten years younger. What a babyface that guy had.
