Poetry, another relentlessly depressing South Korean film. Keeping on watching South Korean films is starting to seem like masochism.

Kingsglaive. I enjoyed it.

In the Heart of the Sea

I liked it, nice effects and environments.

Sully.

The name adeptly describes how I felt after seeing it. Overly emotional and devoid of any real content. I understand it trying to humanise the story but that's negated by knowing that Sully – perhaps more than anybody else I can name – cashed in on his story and turned a stroke of good fortune into an overly flogged cash cow.

Odd, really, because I usually like Clint Eastwood films. This was a rare exception.

By chance I came across this channel on Youtube that uploaded almost all of the 1000 ways to die episodes, so I've decided to binge watch that series. Yes, it is stupid and at least half or more of the scenarios are full of bull crap, but it is strangely entertaining. I think it is the narrator's voice.

Anyways, there are supposedly a few deaths from the 1st season that are "Germany only" but I can't find footage of it anywhere. Maybe someone on Wikipedia made it up? I don't want to miss a single death but I have to move on if I can't find it. I know for certain that the show never made it to 1,000 deaths much less 500. My calculations are a bit over 440 in total.

The Girl on the Train (2016). I was intrigued by all the explicit shout-outs to Hitchcock and the film is certainly competent. Ultimately it's slick, but vacuous. Gorgeous to look at, but very little staying power.

What doesn't kill you , Ethan Hawk and the Gruffalo in a Boston set crime thriller. I thought it was pretty good.

Why do you claim that all South Korean films are depressing? Have you seen A Company Man?

Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.

It's good. Take To The Sky is a good song.

But I'm about to watch Dawn of the Dead (2004).

Only really knew about the song because I used to be the largest Owl City fan.

Like, just a huge range of songs by him; Vanilla Twilight, Meteor Shower, Take To The Sky, Seattle...

Like, it was I think five years or more ago and those are the songs I still remember.

More recently, Alligator Sky and Deer In the Headlights (Which are the two that I'd heard in my phone on shuffle, so I guess I still kept them)

He is good, but the only thing I knew him from was fireflys until I saw The Owls of Ga'Hoole.

And then I re watched Dawn Of The Dead beacuse I didn't believe a guy who made a movie about Owls having adventures made a movie where there was hacked off zombie arms and torsos with chainsaws.

Not seen it.

Yesterday I rewatched Head starring the Monkees. It's an interesting oddity, rather like an extended version of the end of Blazing Saddles with the fourth wall constantly broken and scenes merging into each other. Interesting cultural artefact if you like the Monkees, maybe not something most people will enjoy.

Russian Ark.

Below were my thoughts on it halfway through the movie.

My current thoughts are.... well, I think I got a bit more of it than I did before. I still feel very lost on the deeper connections between the moving parts, but I imagine they're there somewhere and I still do think the movie is pretty great, if only in just the fact that it gives off this almost fantastical sense of it all and it is at least great at capturing a dream-like sense of the world it's portraying.

But I still feel mildly unsatisfied and it still feels weird how the camera's panning always felt consistent through the whole movie, so.... yeah.

Giving the movie a numerical rating, my best gauge is about 7 - 8/10 for it right now.

Because I can only really judge on exectuion and not on how it carries out the very notable theme of connectivity between the past and the present in the events within the movie itself.

Fantasia (1941)

I Heart Huckabees (2004). The comedy is played almost too broadly, leading to an almost hermetically sealed plot, but there are enough moments of genuine entertainment to make it worth the slog.

Tanna (2015)

by **Frank Zipper** » Sun Jan 22, 2017 8:17 am

WarGames, for nostalgia really.

Reasonable Doubt, a bit flat.

Moonwalk One, historic documentary.

The Head and Shoulders feature length also known as Evolution.

Taxi Driver, not watched it since about 1980. Not really a fan of De Niro and Scorcese, but it's a good looking film, has a real feel of time and place.

A movie called ''3096''. Really is a good movie, which is based on a true story in Vienna, Austria.

EDIT: I wanted to give you an idea what the true story (What the movie is based on) is. A girl, called Natascha Kampusch, gets kidnapped by a guy whilst she's walking to school at age 10, in 1998. A 12 Year old witnesses it, but keeps going along. Natascha stays in a cellar in a house in Austria, and couldn't get out until after 6 months. At age 18, in 2006, she finally escapes. The kidnapper then commits suicide, by jumping in front of a train. I won't really explain anything else.

Dancing Pirate (1936) camp as a row of tents musical comedy. Includes a bizarre scene with a tied up man on a gallows with a noose around his neck tap dancing....

Colt 45 (2014)

A nice crime action film that's also quite short.

8/10
