It's like Bubba Ho-Tep, but less intentionally funny.

Okay, I just added this to have something stupid and silly on the last, plus I wanted to show some love for short films again, like the first BYC list.

There's not much to say about this, birds are mean idiots, apparently. Also, Pixar kind of spoils it with the cover image used.

BYC2 #86

Movies about Nazis and World War II are a dime a dozen. However, Come and See stands apart by showing the horrors from a different perspective, through the eyes of ordinary people just trying to survive. This time, it’s in Russia, and while we’ve long accepted how evil the Nazis were, the movie dives deep into what that evil actually looked and felt like.

Unlike many war movies that are sanitized, Come and See is raw, gritty and unapologetically brutal. There’s nothing refreshing or heroic here. Just a relentless, harrowing experience that refuses to let the viewer feel safe. That’s what makes it so powerful. It's fascinating to see how the war impacted people in other parts of the world and how those experiences differed across countries.

The film has a clear message and it delivers it great. That said, some of the directorial choices didn't land well, possibly due to cultural differences in filmmaking. Even then, the overall impact remains strong.

The acting is some of the best across the board, with Aleksei Kravchenko giving a phenomenal performance. He’s so good, I found myself wanting to see more of his work. It's through his character’s journey that we witness the full emotional and psychological toll of war, especially on someone so young.

When Big Fish was first released, I fully intended to see it. In hindsight, it seems I dodged a bullet, at least for 22 years.

I went into it hoping for larger-than-life adventures, but instead found myself checking the clock, waiting for it to end. I even started writing this while watching it. The tall tales aren’t all that compelling, mainly because the film leans too heavily on style over substance, a common issue in some of Tim Burton’s work. It also drags on longer than it should. Trimmed down to a tighter 90 minutes, it could’ve told the same story more effectively.

One major missed opportunity is how the film handles the relationship between the father’s stories and the son’s understanding of them. Rather than building that connection throughout the film, it’s mostly crammed into the final third. It would’ve been far more compelling to see the son actively seek out others who knew his father and getting their versions of events, piecing together the truth and seeing how myth and reality blurred. That emotional arc could’ve added much-needed depth and made the central theme resonate more.

The quirky characters, which could’ve been a highlight, end up feeling shallow and forgettable. More like cardboard cutouts there just to serve the protagonist’s journey than real, fleshed-out personalities.

That said, the soundtrack is a definite highlight.

FUN FACT: The guy playing the banjo in Spectre is the same as the kid playing dueling banjos in Deliverance.

In a way, this movie is a great motivator. Some people take harsh realities as fuel to keep pushing harder and Whiplash absolutely weaponizes that.

J.K. Simmons and Miles Teller are both outstanding. It's no surprise the former won the Oscar for best ing actor. The power dynamic is off the chart; who has it, who wants it, and what’s left after you get it.

The anxiety is through the roof, it's hard to watch this and not be white knuckled the whole time. The final scene doesn’t offer resolution, a movie like this wouldn't allow something so easy. It dares you to decide whether you’re watching a triumph or total collapse.

A great story buried under some clunky direction.

The sound is rough, quiet dialogue, so you turn it up, then a loud scene kills your ears. You can even hear cars in the background during a quiet scene, over the actors. This comes from poor direction. No establishing shots sometimes when needed, weird framing, sometimes you can’t even see who’s talking or what they're emoting.

That said, the plot makes up for a lot. It’s told in three connected stories, all in linear fashion. Something you don't see too often. The acting’s solid, and despite the mess, it’s worth it for the story.

You don’t get many movies about Joseph Stalin, the guy who killed more people than a certain Australian painter, but this one isn’t really about him. It focuses more on the chaos that followed his death in 1953.

I’m a big fan of dark comedies and satire, and this nails both. It’s a sharp political satire that finds absurdity and dark humor in one of the most terrifying regimes in history. Even though it’s definitely funny, the comedy never erases the fear, surveillance and executions that were part of everyday life. That tension lingers under every joke. The film does a great job blurring the line between those who actually worshipped Stalin and those who were just clinging to power or too afraid to be honest.

One downside for me was how it handled the evil of the era, it felt kind of convoluted. It showed a lot, but without much context, which made it hard to grasp the full weight of it all.

At first, hearing the actors speak in their regular accents threw me off, but it ended up adding to the absurdity and actually worked.

I don’t know a lot about Stalin around the time of his death, so I can’t say how accurate any of this was. Still, it was an interesting and uniquely dark take on a brutal piece of history. It kind of reminded me of Jojo Rabbit.

The more "progressive" RedLetterMedia seems to get, the less I want to take their advice on movies to watch. I was hoping for a fun dark comedy, instead I end up with something boring and predictable.

The dialogue is a nightmare to sit through. Can any movie in current year have two people of difference races have a conversation without race being brought up?

Ray Nicholson seemed like he was having a lot of fun, too bad his character was extremely annoying. All the characters were, with how intellectual disabled they were, for the convenience of the plot.

For a movie just over 90 minutes, it felt like three hours.

BYC2 #81

I was never interested in seeing this movie, I didn't think it appealed to me. I was correct. Although there some moments that are funny, overall I found it boring, annoying and predictable. All the moments feel forced and shoehorned in. Noting feels natural, most of all, the characters and their supposed quirkiness.

Everything related to the pageant was arguably the worst cringe I've seen in a movie. Possibly because I haven't watched Cuties.

Not big bucks, but no whammies either.

BYC2 #80

This movie peaked my interest when it first released, but for whatever reason, I never ended up watching it. So, I thought it was perfect for this list.

I went into this knowing basically nothing, assumed it’d be Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones battling for a lead role in some jazz musical. Instead, they’re clawing for headlines from jail and really, that's a more interesting premise.

The performances are strong overall. Zeta-Jones is great and clearly in her element. Zellweger is fine, but the film tries to sell her as some naïve 20 girl in her 20s. I simply wasn't buying it. That disconnect took me out of it.

Jazz is fantastic, so the music worked for me. The numbers are catchy and the arrangements are flashy, but visually, the 1920s aesthetic never really landed for me. It’s well-shot and stylized, but the vibe just didn’t click. I appreciated the craft without actually enjoying the look.

Watching a movie about race in today’s climate can be exhausting. So many modern films feel like they’re trying to lecture the audience, often exaggerating or simplifying complex issues to make a point that fits a current narrative. That’s why Amistad (made in 1997) feels like such a breath of fresh air. It tells a painful, real story from history without turning it into a one dimensional message piece.

Steven Spielberg, known more for epic storytelling than political messaging, takes a surprisingly measured and multifaceted approach here. The film doesn’t just show the brutality of slavery from the usual angle, it also confronts the uncomfortable reality that black Africans were often complicit in the slave trade, capturing and selling their own people. That kind of nuance is rarely acknowledged in modern films and it’s hard to imagine it being included if Amistad were made today. Today’s stories too often reduce history to simple villains and victims, along race lines.

One surprising element was the film’s inclusion of religion, particularly Christianity, as a source of hope and morality. Even for a Spielberg film. That stood out. It’s rare now to see a mainstream film that treats faith seriously or respectfully, regardless of the filmmaker's background.

The acting in Amistad is exceptional. Djimon Hounsou delivers a performance that’s raw, powerful and unforgettable. He brings authenticity to the role in a way that few actors could. Anthony Hopkins as John Quincy Adams is equally magnetic, especially in his climactic courtroom speech. That said, it’s odd that Morgan Freeman is billed as a lead, when he spends much of the film in the background.

Overall, Amistad is a rare kind of historical drama: one that respects its audience’s intelligence, doesn’t sugarcoat the truth and avoids the preachy tone that plagues so many modern films about race. It’s difficult, powerful and well worth watching... even more so today.

I don't think the director/writer realized he made a great argument to why democracy is actually bad.

I mean the movie is written stupid, including all the characters. It's very predictable too. I don't think much thought went into it.

I was looking forward to this, I love dark comedies.

BYC2 #78

I'm much fan of Tim Burton's art style. It works well in some of his work, but overall I find it off-putting.

Johnny Depp sounds so young. I mean, I know it's 20 years old, but he wasn't young in 2005. Helena Bonham Carter isn't a good actress and I don't find her any better doing voice work.

The movie is boring, it drags on with bad pacing. I thought it was going to be more like The Bride of Frankenstein, but it's not, which is a good thing. Still, not enough to keep me interested.

It's also painfully predictable.

Really beautiful film. It's incredibly well acted. Russell Crowe gives such a layered, vulnerable performance. While Jennifer Connelly is amazing too. The way it portrays schizophrenia is probably better than any other movie I’ve seen on the topic. It’s immersive, empathetic and doesn't feel exploitative at all.

That said, I do wish it had dug a little deeper into John Nash’s actual achievements. His work in economics, evolutionary biology, trade negotiations and labor relations. All of that basically changed the world and it’s barely touched on. Also would’ve liked to see more of his relationship with his kids. It feels like there was a whole other side of his life we only got glimpses of.

Still, even with those nitpicks, A Beautiful Mind absolutely holds up. It’s moving, powerful and leaves you thinking about what it really means to live with both brilliance and vulnerability.

Well paced and well acted, that's about all I can say for the movie.

There's never any tension, that's most due to Danny DeVito being the antagonist. He's not in the least bit threatening. The movie tries to have twists, but they don't work. If you've even seen any other movie about heists, you'll understand how predictable this is.

With the few Darren Aronofsky movies I've seen; they're intense, psychologically driven, and often disturbing explorations of obsession, identity, and human frailty. Aronofsky’s movies are relentlessly dark, even when they’re beautiful. There’s rarely a “happy” ending, but there’s usually a kind of truthful catharsis.

Pi has these tones, but doesn't stand out like his other work. This feels like if David Lynch was to direct The Number 23. The whole obsession with numbers has been done before.

I expected this to be a ripoff of John Wick, much like David Ayer did with The Beekeeper.

Instead it's more of a ripoff of Taken or The Equalizer... or any other number of action movies about human trafficking that's come out in the past decade.

Although the plot has been done before, it's simple and straight forward with great action.

I've never watched The Sopranos, not because I wasn't interested, just didn't watch it. Also back when it first came out I didn't have channels like HBO or Cinemax. So, any and all fan service was lost on me. That's probably a good thing. Although some stuff I don't get and it's most likely because I didn't watch the show.

I went into this hoping for it to be more Scorsese from the 90s. Instead it's more like Scorsese from current year. The character of Tony Soprano doesn't have much to do with the movie and I thought it would be a lot more centered on him. Instead he's mostly in the background. Seems like a waisted opportunity to me.

It has a great cast, but I just didn't get very invested in it. The movie felt like it had it's pivotal moments, but everything in between was filler. The second half of the movie is more mobster that the first, which helps. Overall it was an okay watch.

BYC2 #73

It's a gritty and stylish crime thriller, but the edges are smoothed down too much. It does a good job of showing the moral ambiguity of undercover work. However, everything fits into places too neatly and easily.

The movie should've been dirtier and the struggle of what's right and wrong should've been harder on Laurence Fishburne's character. At one point murder is okay by his superior and the next, worth shutting down the whole assignment over.

Still a good watch if you're into crime movies. Especially if you like seeing the lines blurred between crime and the state.

Now that I've finished my Birth Year Challenge, I've made a list for PART 2.

The starting point for this challenge is the year you were born and then each subsequent year of your life also comes into play.

For each year, you have to include two films, the most popular (from your watchlist or in general) and the second is a free pick from that year. Like before, has to be a first time watches.

There's no watch order. All films on your list must be watched before your next birthday. If not, two more films must be added. To complete the task, simply watch all the films on your list!

These are movies that I plan to never watch, simply because they're not appealing to me.

2. District 9

This is list made up of movies that spend the majority of the time in prisons. Not half the time (Shot Caller).

Also, I'm keeping this list to actual prison life. No fantasy prison islands (No Escape), states turned into prisons in the "near future" (Escape from New York) and no war concentration camps (The Great Escape).

1. The Green Mile
2. Midnight Express
3. The Shawshank Redemption
4. Birdman of Alcatraz
5. Cool Hand Luke
