Bitch Slap

Bitch Slap This was the film I nominated for the film club's B-movie month. It wasn't the one selected but having found there was a free version available on a popular video sharing site I could not resist watching it. B-movies aren't my thing so I had no idea what this was going to be like when I picked it. I won't attempt a Lime-esque proper review, but I would say it's worth watching for free. It's not that violent. There is almost no nudity in it. So don't watch it if that is what you want from this sort of film - reading some of the reviews on IMDB it seems many people did expect those things. It's about three sexy, violent women who are af…

The BBC had a few Stanley Kubrick films on recently that I recorded. This is one I had never seen before. I had no idea what to expect, didn't even know the basic story till just before watching it. Although the story itself is not that gripping, it's very slow paced (deliberately) and title character not that likeable at times, I was very impressed. I see the Threadstarter here classes it as "Drama, Romance, War". There is not much romance in it. Drama yes. There's a couple of battle scenes but most of it is not a war film. I wouldn't call it comedy but it's not that serious and has comical scenes. It's based on a novel by William Makepeace Thackery, more famous for Vani…

The next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, it's actually the end of Phase 3 and the closing opus of the Infinity Saga that spans a whole 23 films (I think). The movie should deal with the aftermath of Avengers: Endgame. Rumors says it's gonna be a game changer for the MCU looking forward and if the trailer is any indication, it looks like it could be true !

Alien or Aliens (films)?

Alien or Aliens? Fans of the Alien series apparently split in two depending on which film you think is clearly the best, either Alien or Aliens. I first became aware of the divide when I was going to see Alien3. Someone said to me “Don't bother seeing it. It's shit like the first one”, so as I prefered the first I did go to see it. I was a bit surprised though that someone who liked Aliens could so dislike Alien. So I thought why don't we have a poll? Alien or Aliens – which do you think is the better film? Now, why do I prefer Alien? I have just watched both again, director's cut versions of each. I thought about this a while and came up with …

Roma (2018) Best Picture Nominee The Awesome: A Black & White film with its cinematography in full splendid color. I cannot put into words how beautiful this film is shot and framed, where do I begin, I usually don't prefer Black & White films, not when I have these rods and cones in my eyes enabling me to see color. But here, B&W is a blessing because there are some scenes where so much going on inside the frame that had the same majestic wide shots been colorized, it could have turned into one big busy jumble of colors and instead get this amazing B&W which enhances every movement in the frame, from the dog scratching itself in the distanc…

A Star Is Born (2018) Best Picture Nominee The Awesome: Getting to see the real Stefani Germanotta a.k.a. Lady Gaga out of make-up and crazy costumes and although she has abandoned the crazy shtick for a while, it was still nice to see her not wearing cardboard. The chemistry between the leads is good although I did chuckle A LOT at moments when Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) is giving singing advice to Ally (Lady GaGa) because in real life I knew it was just the opposite while they were making the film. I really believed their love, especially early on where it isn't always lovey-dovey, like real-life and kept me from saying, "Come on, big time singer gon…

If you guys haven't yet seen this innovative YouTube show, you are missing out. Their most recent episode with Ken Jeong is hilarious to say the least. They have 8 seasons so far so they might have someone you might like. If you have seen the show before, which episode was your favorite? Mine has to be this season's premiere with Gordon Ramsay.

I enjoyed the film because the Freddie Mercury (Malik Remi) is so c…

The Favourite (2018) Best Picture Nominee The Awesome: Unexpectedly funny. Such a cracking script that does what it's supposed to do, move the story forward or reveal characters below the surface. The three protagonists all deliver exploding acting performances worthy of their Oscar nominations. Abigail (Emma Stone), Sara (Rachel Weisz) and Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) are so magnetizing and just deliver their lines with such gusto and conviction, thanks to stellar dialogue, even when its profane it just packed a fun punch that I didn't expect in a film like this. Emma, Rachel, and Olivia were great, no denying that they enrich the film so much but I also ha…

Watche this earlier, it's an awesome Netflix movie. A story of survival when the world goes to shit. I've seen Forest Whitaker in alot of movies and this is his best performance so far. I can't do reviews like @Con but this is worth the watch, 4/5 from me.

214Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Subservience (2024) dir S.K. Dale Yet another mediocre sci-fi / thriller about AI and human-like robots. Michele Morrone plays Nick, a happily married father of 2 young children, struggling to raise them and do his construction site job since his wife (Madeline Zima) is seriously ill in hospital waiting for a heart transplant. So he buys Alice (Megan Fox), an almost completely life-like home-help / childcare / cook / cleaner robot. There are other similar robots working in many places such as hospitals, bars and construction sites (adding an additional plot element). Without spoilers (although IMHO there really isn't much to spoil) it's hard to say much more. But “stuff happens”, somewhat predictably if you consider the situation of wife in hospital, very hot nanny / maid robot at home etc etc. What is interesting is Alice starts to deviate from what she has been programmed to do, there's tensions with respect to a former colleague of Nick's, and these both lead to a reasonable action style tense ending with fights, shoot-outs and car chases. But overall it can only be described as OK. If you want action then watch an action film with more action than this. If you want drama then watch a drama film with more a more meaningful plot and better acting than this. There's some holes in the plot for me. Other than the robots it looks like present day. There is no other indication that this has to be either somewhat in the future or set in an alternative higher-tech reality. Nick's wife needs a new heart; if they have the technology to make such like-like robots (i.e. one that looks exactly like Megan Fox) then surely they would have mastered artificial organs for humans. Some of the other robots are too lifelike. I can understand Alice's appearance since she is designed to live in a home, although you might want to make such robots a bit less physically tempting a straight male owner. But there's no reason an entire synthetic construction site crew need to actually look like the humans' they replaced. And also no reason for them not be working constantly (the scene we encountered these is when they have been locked away for the night). There's one truly ridiculous aspect for me, for which I have knocked off another point for stupid prudishness. It has couple of mild s*x scenes. In one you can clearly see the actors are naked but without any full-frontal nudity. At one point the woman's breasts are briefly shown, but she has no n*pples! They must have been digitally removed. Why!? It's got enough to make it a 15 certificate, showing a couple of n*pples is surely not going to change that! There is one interesting plot element, but I have to put that with a spoiler warning. 4 / 10- 1

Emilia Perez (2024) dir Jaques Audiard A multi award-nominated musical about a Mexican drug baron who always felt they were a woman born in a man's body. She fakes her own death and has gender reassignment, plus a lot of other plastic surgery, to start a new, better, life in a new identify. She is assisted in all this by her lawyer, Rita and tries to re-establish some sort of relationship with her wife Jessi and kids. Emilia is played by Karla Sofia Gascon (a trans woman) and has been nominated for best leading actress in the Oscars and Baftas. But I would say it is Zoe Saldana, as Rita, who is the main character. Both she and Selana Gomez, as Jessi, have picked up (supporting actress) nominations, as has the director, makeup artists, composers, producers, writers and others in technical roles. It could win all of those. I don't think it will, but I haven't seen that many films released last year yet. It seems to be one that you either love or hate. I suspect a lot of the hate is coming from people who are anti-trans and can't see past that aspect of the film. I liked it, the music and cinematography in particular. The acting was good, but I'm not sure if it was award-winningly good. I also think the script could have been better. It's just over 2 hours long but because it has so many musical scenes that, as is usually case in musicals, don't advance the plot the way spoken dialogue would, it felt to me like it ought to have been longer to fill in some missing details. The musical numbers were good though, sort of similar to a Baz Lurhman film, in that the actors singing them do not necessarily have a great singing voice but also with some scenes that just burst into a massive dancing and singing show that then goes back to dialogue afterwards. And a lot of it is not musical at all. There were a couple of cheesy scenes; one in-particular in a Thai gender reassignment clinic that Rita is checking out before finding the right one, did not make much sense to me. Maybe they were trying to say “this is the popular image of a s*x-change clinic, but in reality it's something far more serious”? Another slightly weak plot element is that Jessi does not recognise her former husband after the surgery. Of course that surgery has made some massive physical changes, that was the point, but even so, would you not pick up on some characteristics of a person you have been married to for years and had kids with? I can forgive that though, put it down to artistic license, in the same way I forgive William Shakespeare frequently making his characters unrecognisable to their friends and family just by doing their hair different and wearing a hat! 8 / 10- 3
