  3. Pamela Anderson Joins Liam Neeson In Paramount’s New ‘Naked Gun’ Movie She was genuinely funny in that old show Stacked on Fox, could work out here
  4. Anatomy of a Fall Wow! I loved this movie, it's really good. What I really grew to admire about it is how little it holds your hand; There are no exposition dumps whatsoever, you learn what you need to know through context organically, if you learn it at all! I also appreciated how much is left ambiguous and up to the viewer to decide. This is the kind of film that will be more rewarding than others on second watch due to all this. But even on first watch there is so much to admire; While the screenplay is the star, I think, Sandra Hüller is so good as the main character, as are both lawyers and her son. The husband is wisely barely shown to really help put you in the minds of both sides of the case as they are presenting them. Just a really good movie, I don't know what else to say It's on Hulu

In some ways, it's even better than Remake, though in other ways it's not as good. It had more "detours" (for lack of a better word) into dubstep, techno, and pop songs than Remake does, and I generally didn't care for any of those tracks. And some of the score tracks sort of repeat arrangements from Remake without much difference. However, the majority of the rest of the score is is really good, with a particular highlight being the entire ending, from "Listen To The Cries of the Planet" until the end. What a powerful climax! I'll begin the whittling down to shorter presentations now
  9. I don't know how would anybody here know the answer to that question.
  10. I wonder why in the world I've stopped getting their newsletter emails after 20 years of getting every one?
  11. Maybe since Hollow Knight: Silksong was recently rated E by the ESRB, it will finally be mentioned in another Indie Direct, and maybe even shadow dropped afterward? ... I'll put on my clown make-up now.
  12. I've never seen it, I meant I like all the films Cameron has directed It is depressing that every single time anyone makes another Terminator movie, they ignore every sequel that came before it and do another direct sequel to T2, and that they are all bad films in different ways. At least the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series was decent, and the ending of T3 was kinda cool. Salvation and Genisys though, yikes.
  13. Drive-Away Dolls How to describe this movie... a lesbian road trip crime thriller comedy? It's very Coen-brothers-esque, and is in fact directed by one of them (Ethan), from a script he co-wrote with his wife Tricia Cooke. Apparently they've been trying to make it since the early 2000s, which might explain its 1999 setting (frankly too much would need to be changed if it was set in modern day). Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan star as two friends to use a drive-away car service to go to Tallahassee, Florida from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, unaware that the car was meant for some criminals to take and has some very expensive cargo where its spare tire should be. What ensues in an occasionally funny road trip, peppered with moments of extreme violence as the two girls are not only pursued by the criminals (Colman Domingo, Joey Slotnik, and CJ Wilson), but also one of their exes (Beanie Feldstein). All these actors put in good work here, as does Bill Camp as the owner of the drive-away service who has a run-in with the criminals, Pedro Pascal as the initial owner of the myesterious package in the car, Matt Damon as a guy who wants the package, and Miley Cyrus as.... hard to explain lol. It's all wrapped up in around 80 minutes which is good because the film, overall, is not quite a success. The parts that shine (the cast, some funny parts, the general story) are off-set by parts that do not: Qualley's accent (hard to understand at times), scenes that I think are meant to be funny but don't quite work, uneven pacing (odd to see in a Coen movie), and the strange juxtaposition of extreme violence in an otherwise very light movie (something the Coens have pulled of just fine many times before, but didn't quite gel for me here). The way the film handles nudity is also a distraction; everyone the girls hook up with gets fully naked, getting the point across and showing how different Qualley's character is from Viswanathan's. But then neither of the two leads do, which leads to some scenes having extremely awkward framing and editing which takes you out of the scene completely, when you're supposed to be the most invested. If there were no filming restrictions these scenes wouldn't have been distracting and would have made for an overall better film. I admired some of Ethan's directing, such as some unique transitions from one scene to the next. For example, someone will shake something and the next scene's opening frames will kind of shake into the forefront, or something will fall and the next scene's beginning will sort of fall in over the end of the current scene. The problem is that he starts to overuse these visual tricks, making the ones that made organic sense lose their worth when the trick is just repeated in a less-good way later. Qualley is really good though, and its worth seeing just for her performance (hopefully you won't find the accent as distracting as I did). Viswanathan has impressed me in just about everything I've seen her in, yet here seems like she was overdirected or something; her character is meant to be repressed and then come out of her shell by the end of the movie, but she plays it too reserved, I think; She could have made the film funnier if she had been allowed more freedom I think. So overall, a mixed bag, but still worth checking out. It's on Peacock.
