Eli (2019)
Charlie Shotwell Does An Excellent Job
Not a great horror movie, but not a bad one. Charlie Shotwell does an excellent job in the titular role.
Deadlock (2018)
Excellent.
I wasn't sure what to make of the first episode. It was confusing, but I now understand why. All I knew for sure was my heart broke for Ned.
I've just watched the second episode and now understand how excellent this series is.
The Stepford Wives (1975)
Seems irrelevant and dated until...
You remember the existence of the Christian Right, the MRA, pro-lifers, the gender pay gap, the sexual harrassment scandals all over the world and the fact that no older actress ever gets to play the lead hottie like the boys do. Suddenly the film seems a lot more relevant in 2018 than we'd like to believe, doesn't it? Makes you wonder why anybody thought it needed parodying in 2004. Were we pretending women had equality, particularly in the industry the bulk of the scandals have come from?
Creepiest line in the film? Walter's comment to Carol's husband: " She looks as good as she cooks, Ed" within hours of arriving in Stepford. Walter KNEW before he moved his wife there!
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Religious mythology wrecked it for me
Three stars for the visuals, which were spectacular but somehow didn't give me the sense of horrified awe the original film did. As for the film itself, why did they put religious mythology in it? WHY?
I'll stick with "All those moments lost in time, like tears in the rain" sans souls, thanks. Deeply disappointing sequel.
