There are no “police” in Jurassic Park, they are on an island owned by Hammond. In ET the authorities exist and the kid specifically wants to AVOID them so they don’t get ET. In Home Alone Kevin is a dumb young kid who feels guilty about shoplifting (he was even chased by a cop) and recognized one of the burglars as a…

I’m afraid I wasn’t clear enough: I’m saying that Brick is easily his worst movie. You could counter that if you thought Brothers Bloom was worse.

WHY don’t they call the police? They clearly exist and could be called. The protagonist just seems like a giant idiot. At least in Defendor the protagonist had the excuse of being literally mentally retarded for thinking he would fight crime himself. Those tropes do not make sense transplanted to that entirely…

Filipinos, as Chan discovered when she visited the islands. If anything, she’s the Janie Come Lately for only realizing its perennial appeal then.

Ready or Not is a fantastic movie, but it’s not in any sense a whodunnit (and they don’t even actually play a boardgame). There’s no detective figure trying to solve any mystery. Bad Times at the El Royale does at least have one member of law enforcement in the ensemble, but it’s still not a whodunnit or detective…

What makes a site “valid” or not?

I think Samson is the one whose story involves honey & blood.

Both the period of X and its slasher genre are just better suited to Ti West’s talents.

Bale has now starred in 3 Scott Cooper movies, which as of now have a 63, 65 & 55 on Metacritic (in chronological order). I don’t think any of them have been big commercial hits (this is going right to Netflix). One would think he could do better.

Let me tell you about a little film called Battle Beyond the Stars...

Weird that you cite Django instead of A Fistful of Dollars for Kurosawa remakes.

Those horror movies aren’t getting Oscar nominations. X didn’t make the shortlist for makeup & hairstyling, even though it deserved to.

I doubt his replacement will be a woman.

Music biopics are basically always lame. Who should we blame? Famous dead musicians, for living such cliched lives! Why can’t they be like Weird Al and war against Pablo Escobar’s cartel?

It’s not as bad as many people say it is, but it’s still not very good. It should have served as a sign that Harrison Ford is now too old for this, and since Mutt wasn’t well-received enough to carry a sequel, that should have been the end of things (unless they wanted to reboot the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles).

Cate Blanchett chewing the scenery worked for me in that film.

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead certainly didn’t make me want to check out his earlier work:

I liked the Dekalog and Three Colors, but Double Life of Veronique was a real disappointment. At least it would take less time to watch all that than all the MCU films.

more in common with Puss that is at first apparent

also coming soon: Garfield, voiced by CHrist Pratt
