I just watched [movie x here]
sitnspin:
I can't comment on the "objective" quality of The Godfather, it may possibly be a well crafted piece of cinema, I can only say that it definitely wasn't my taste. It was largely boring to me, and I really didn't care about any character in it.
oddtail:
I watched "Shazam!" a few days back. It being on Netflix now and all.
For the most part, I'm so tired of superhero movies. This one joins the relatively short list of those that do something different, and stand out in a good way.
It's funny, it's touching, and it's a childish power fantasy, with a villain who is silly by virtue of being a bit *too* menacing and intimidating to be taken entirely seriously (and that's a tough balance to find, because it's not a caricature of a bad guy. It's a believable bad guy, but in a "straight man to the protagonist's zaniness" sort of way. Kinda reminds me of the villain in the first GotG, but much better realised).
I highly recommend it if you haven't watched it, even if you're as hopeful as I am that popular culture will FINALLY move on from superheroes to the next big thing. It's not a masterpiece, it's "merely" a good, fun movie. But it's honestly different, and THANK GOD for that.
Blue Kitty:
I watched it and Aquaman pretty close together and I definitely like Shazam more.
We're on the last day of October so I'm on the last day of my horror binge. The movies since my last update were:
-Let The Right One In: the original, not the remake. Definitely creepy and atmospheric. A kid befriends a vampire
-Vampire Cleanup Department: Felt like a USA channel movie, though it was nice seeing Chinese hopping vampires. A government department that takes care of vampires in Hong Kong
-Vampires vs. the Bronx: nice actiony vampire movie with kids, definitely felt like the stakes were higher in it compared to Goosebumps 2. The title tells you everything you need to know
-Oculus: incredibly creepy and original. Two kids confront the mirror that threw their family into chaos
-Teeth: Not so creepy, more of a comedy really. A woman finds out she has teeth in her vagina
-Creep: more creepy, though very odd and indie. A man is invited to document a weirdo for a whole day
-Tragedy Girls: two girls idolize serial killers and plan on becoming them. Negasonic Teenage Warhead is one of the leads
-30 Days of Night: Still one of my favorite vampire films, amazing makeup and effects
-Under the Shadow: Very creepy and atmospheric, a woman is haunted by something during the bombing of Iran
-Pooka: A little weird, but fun. Definite unreliable narrator. A man slowly grows crazy as he has to play a mascot character for the hottest toy of Christmas
-Invasion of the Bodysnatchers: the 70s classic. It was weird seeing a baby Jeff Goldblum
-Paranorman: Still amazing after all the times I've seen it, still my favorite Laika movie
-The Housemaid: I got this one confused with the Handmaiden, but this one is a Vietnamese ghost story
-John Carpenter's Vampires: This one wasn't as good, the premise was nice but then they threw it all out the window in the first 20 or so minutes
-Winchester: The setting and characters were good, but overall it was disappointing
-Goodnight Mommy: Two kids think there mom isn't who she says she is after she comes home from facial surgery. Very creepy and genuinely terrifying
-Mothman Prophecies: I completely forgot that Jim Carrey was in this
-The Autopsy of Jane Doe: The standout movie of this month. Pretty much everything about this movie was great, From the start to the windup and all the way to the end
-Bad Hair: A woman gets a weave of evil hair. All of the cameos really make this movie shine
-Phantasm: 70's horror movie that doesn't really know what it wants to be most of the time
-Perfect Blue: My favorite Satoshi Kon film, a popstar has a nervous breakdown as she tries transitioning into being a film star
The winner of this month was Autopsy of Jane Doe, and the loser would have to be John Carpenter's Vampires. While Winchester was disappointing it had a nice setting and characters, and the house was just amazing, and One Eyed Monster was at least weird/funny. Vampire's just didn't really have anything going for it.
Aside from Paranorman, 30 Days of Night, Perfect Blue, and the Mothman Prophecies, all the movies were new to me

Kon is probably my favorite filmmaker, periodendofsentence.
(Edit: Tokyo Godfathers is my favorite Christmas movie.)
