Blue Valentine (2010)
This beautifully raw film looks at a relationship in stages juxtapositional. It’s euphoric, passionate, morose, and hopeful. It’s the nature of love in real life and for most of us, will cut close to the heart. It’s glorious.
That Thing You Do! (1996)
A classic tale of the 50-60s music industry done in the typical fun biopic style so much that I believed it was a real band. It is romanticist light fun and better than most biopics.
Terrified (2017)
An admirable attempt at the genre but falls to the classic pitfalls by the midpoint and logic goes out the window. The lingering scenes with the child was a clear high point of the film. @kux@lemm.ee I finally watched it.
Vikram Vedha (2017)
I was recommended this as a film that tackles morality. It did not fulfill the promise as its characters and lessons are juvenile but it is an average action film with above par story for Kollywood (and Bollywood).
Elevation (2024)
Remove believable characters, modify the script, and you are now watching a (very) poor version of A Quiet Place. It fails on all fronts and is filled with tropes done poorly, which saddens me as I like Morena Baccarin.
ah nice. you got the measure of terrified i think, started promising but i checked out by the end. i haven’t watched much lately since my irl work mate died a few weeks ago. still love the horror films but not having the fag break discussions next day has diminished the enthusiasm somewhat. spent the last eight or nine years discussing arthouse, shithouse, dogshit cgi and what have you. bad times. probably gonna buy the second sight edition of when evil lurks, have to get round to hispanic satanics one of these days
