2.3 Stars Episodes 1 and 2 I watched the first two episodes with expected boredom. I'm fairly certain that the rest of the season would struggle to maintain and likely drop below this benchmark. There were a slop load of overdramatic slow motion fights, which were an attempt to emulate and translate The Fallout games gore filled combat to screen. Stale, but not terrible, CGI for settings and characters;...
3.7 Stars Obviously this will probably only really be interesting to you if you care about Apocalypse Now or film making. Lots of stories about production problems involving, replacing lead actors, working with The Philippines government during a rebellion, and fat ass Marlon Brando, trying to come up with poetic crap to say while the cameras roll
4.0 Stars Apocalypse Now is a ridiculous film. It is a product of so many things/ideas, A classic literary work (Heart of Darkness), an expression of America's cultural confusion and regret from the Vietnam War, and the hellish production of the film its self. This is why it has so much staying power in the canon of films. It's a conversation piece that can be followed down so many different avenues...

Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the mess you probably thought it was, with useless human characters, inconsistent special effects, shoddy editing, laughless humor, desperate attempts to be cool, and...
3.1 Stars If you like hidden messages containing fragmented factoids spread out to allow a viewer to rationalize meaning from a typical A24 schizo subversion slop film, Under Silver Lake fits the bill. From what I could tell the decoded messages point to a "wow dude, money is such a heckin abstract concept and it makes people crazy", kind of takeaway. The subtext and themes are all a bunch of reddit...
“A single tear shed at the remembrance of the Passion of Jesus is worth more than a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, or a year of fasting on bread and water.”

Frankly, it might be better...
3.1 Stars Perfect Days is a film that tries to make you feel how mundane and consistent a Tokyo janitor's day to day routines are. After you have been lulled into a pleasant boredom from seeing the focus character of the film trim his mustache, select a cassette tape to listen to on his commute, and scrub a toilet a couple times, the relatively minor surprises and anomalies to his structured days...
