I encourage you to watch this. Even if you don’t like Oliver, just watch the video clips as conservatives lay out plans in their own words for the dismantling of America as we know it. They aren’t being subtle & if you’re not worried you aren’t listening. youtu.be/gYwqpx6lp_s?...

Hell yeah Shudder for supporting low budget DIY queer horror like this. Not perfect, but really good. boxd.it/6NjixT

Review of ‘Bad Girl Boogey’ (2022) ★★★½boxd.it This movie has a lot of the issues you might expect to find in a low budget horror movie directed by a teen, even one with a reputation as a prodigy. The acting is wildly inconsistent, and there’s a…

Art-house revenge? boxd.it/6My4bb

Review of ‘The Nightingale’ (2018) ★★★½boxd.it The Nightingale is a bit of an oddity—an artsy period piece that is also a rape-revenge story—but it mostly works, thanks to strong lead performances and a camera that always knows where to be. The…

Every “person” you see in this is a job an actor didn’t get. Every “object” you see cost prop masters work. Every “set” you see is a place no crew was paid to work. The machine that made it was trained with stolen images. Fuck this video. Fuck the ghouls who made it. And fuck Toys-R-Us forever.

Concept was solid, execution lackluster. boxd.it/6KTTvZ

Review of ‘The Poughkeepsie Tapes’ (2007) ★★boxd.it A bit of a strange film, Tapes is somehow both too extreme and not extreme enough. The material is both conceptually disturbing in a way that doesn’t make for a light watch while also not being…

The Idaho Film Society turned our derelict downtown Greyhound station into a place for screenings, which is awesome. Today the kid and I watched Chopping Mall.

Another day, another movie from Ti West that disappointed. boxd.it/6JlBUP

Review of ‘Pearl’ (2022) ★★½boxd.it Mia Goth is fantastic as Pearl, but she’s kind of fantastic in everything. So why the low rating? I really can’t say, but Pearl the film ultimately left me cold in much the same way the rest of Ti…

it is the overt hostility to any part of civil society that doesn’t uphold his vision of what society ought to be that is the clearest evidence of desantis’s authoritarian disposition www.nytimes.com/2024/06/21/a...

Added a lot of new friends over the past month, both #filmsky and otherwise, so I want to know: What is your favorite movie from each of the last ten years (including this one so far)? I will put my answers in the comment below this one.

This should be a worldwide scandal but I doubt people will still be talking about it next week. www.reuters.com/investigates...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Why’d they have to drag Hello, Kitty into it?

Look how they massacred my boy. boxd.it/6FbgTP

Review of ‘Conan the Destroyer’ (1984) ★★½boxd.it This thing looks like a Conan movie, with sweeping vistas and evil temples and even Arnold. It sounds like Conan, with a (largely recycled, if I’m not mistaken) score. But it never quite feels like…

AHEM.

this could absolutely lead to trauma and PTSD. they honestly need to stop these school/cop programs. it's just a vector for child abuse

A while back, I decided to fix movie blind spots, but to make it interesting, I decided to do it in loops-a movie from 1930 to present, in order. I just finished my first loop. boxd.it/pmE7m

Film list: A Movie A Year (Loop One)boxd.it I'm going to watch a movie from every year from 1930-Present and rank them. The movies are an even mix of blind spots and things that just looked cool.

Good time but the last act felt like a cop-out. boxd.it/6Eie4F

Review of ‘Hit Man’ (2023) ★★★½boxd.it The majority of Hit Man was charming, sexy, and fun. It really had me guessing whether it was going to be a screwball comedy or a noir, and it did a good job of walking the line between the two…until…

This one really resonated with me. boxd.it/6DZo6t

Review of ‘American Fiction’ (2023) ★★★★★boxd.it It’s been a long time since a satire really hit like this for me. The script masterfully skewers writing, publishing, and race. But it’s so much more than that. I’ve seen people complain about the…

Fantastic movie, utterly loved it. Reminiscent of Spielberg at his best. boxd.it/6DVB2L

Review of ‘Nope’ (2022) ★★★★★boxd.it This had me from frame 1 and didn’t let up. Just a great film by Peele. The acting, the scope, the effortless balance of horror and adventure and sci-fi and humor. The casting. Brilliant.

Puppy alert! Welcome Nova!

Such a beautiful picture but I wish the director would have paced it differently. boxd.it/6DkW7N

Review of ‘The Green Knight’ (2021) ★★★boxd.it I’ve always liked this tale, and hoped to enjoy the film more than I did. I can’t give it too low of marks, just because of how gorgeous everything is, but there is something glacial about how this…

Salt Lake I’m in you.

A disturbing character study that needed a tighter script. boxd.it/6BW1IZ

Review of ‘Saint Maud’ (2019) ★★★boxd.it Stylistically great, from the sound to how we see Maud’s visions play out, and the acting is great. The story feels a bit thin, though, and undercuts the work everyone puts in. It’s still…

It looked so good. I was so underwhelmed. So basically It Follows all over again. boxd.it/6Bx8jx

Review of ‘Under the Silver Lake’ (2018) ★boxd.it Noir: Awesome Neo-Noir: Awesome Ironic Hipster Noir: Kinda unbearable. Like the director’s other big film (the over-hyped horror flick It Follows) there’s enough here to make a rad trailer and not…

Enjoyed the movie’s darkness but expected more. boxd.it/6Bp5sl

Review of ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’ (2017) ★★★½boxd.it An unsettling film, like I’d always heard, with a masterful performance from Keoghan, but it didn’t quite connect as much as I’d hoped. It picks up in the final act, but it has the same meandering…

If the story matched the imagery we would have had something great, but it falls a bit flat. boxd.it/6BblNh

Review of ‘Stopmotion’ (2023) ★★½boxd.it Worth watching for the unnerving stop motion work alone, but the story of a tortured artist is nothing but a threadbare justification to watch the animated bits. The lead actress is good, but the…

A really gorgeous, human movie. boxd.it/6B2rJx

Review of ‘Moonlight’ (2016) ★★★★boxd.it Was a gorgeous movie that did a good job conveying the feeling of a lived life. I loved the way that the story didn’t simply serve as a gay story or a Black movie but always felt like it was about a…

Really felt this one. boxd.it/6AAuYp

Review of ‘The Revenant’ (2015) ★★★★★boxd.it Just everything I watch movies for. I seriously don’t get the 2 star & down reviews. Sure, you thought it was slow/didn’t like it, fine? But if you give this under 2 stars, what else are you…

Ahahahaha There’s a guy in my neighborhood who has dozens of Trump flags, and I told myself a joke yesterday that he’d do this but I forgot to check…sure enough.
