Possessor (2020)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

10/10 bl00d. Such a cool storyline, reminded me of a movie that I have yet to see but desperately want to because it stars Joseph Gordon Levitt (Looper). Picture this: high-tech bio-insertions to commit the perfect assassinations. As this killer is moving from body to body, she loses her sense of self.

Insanely awesome B-roll for the transfer scenes, like the wax dripping from one face to the other is so genius. So cinematically beautiful.

Watch this film if:

You enjoy artsy gore

The main character is fighting a losing battle

BlackBerry (dir. Matt Johnson).

Johnson gives BlackBerry the slick tech biopic treatment (think The Social Network but Canadian) based on the book Losing the Signal about the Waterloo, Ontario-based creators of the eponymous smartphone device, Research in Motion (RIM). It's an unlikely story of total non-players outside the major consumer electronics industries somehow starting and then dominating mobile telecommunications for a brief window of time.

'A Good Person' Movie and Blu-ray Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. I’m an emotional, sensitive and empathic person, and I tend to seek out films which will make me think, move me to tears and tell a narrative that resonates with me.  However, I have a good barometer for films that are trying too hard to tug at my heart strings and doing just a little too much to get an emotional…

The Bonds Found in the “Spirit in the Blood” Are Far Stronger Than One May Think 

Coming to theatres this weekend is a sentimental and sombre #supernatural #thriller Spirit in the Blood, and even though it's more of a coming of age tale, to wonder where the threats lay will surprise. #moviereview at:

Elevation Pictures Coming to select theatres beginning Nov 1 Being a tween can be rough, and for Emerson (Summer H. Howell) to change schools, to go live in a rural community looks problematical if she’s not careful. When the movie is titled Spirit in the Blood and marketing suggests this film may be like Stephen King’s Carrie, I’m ready to see what can happen. That’s because the early moments of…

Hey, fellas

This is the cakeverse, my brand new obsession and the trope that I only found out about like an hour ago, but it is peak, trust me.

Here's the basic set-up:

It's a typical omegaverse esque au where there's three types of people; forks, cakes and normies (i usually like calling them plates, for the themes). Normies are just regular people, obviously, but forks and cakes are something else entirely.

Cakes: Normal people who taste delicious. Cake's bodies and bodily fluids (saliva, sweat, tears, etc) all taste amazing, like cake (or other foods, if you do prefer), but they can only be tasted by Forks, otherwise they taste like normal people.

Fork: People who can't taste (and sometimes smell) anything at all outside of Cakes. Forks are unable to identify taste, sometimes they even lose it with time, but they are the only ones that can taste Cakes.

The au is very interesting and has a lot of implications, scenarios, and ways it can be written, but something that stood out to me is how much i feel like this would do numbers in several fandoms.

Like, I'll prolly make an analysis of this au later in a post once I read more works based from it, but for now I just wanna say that PLEASE GOD WRITE SOMETHING BASED ON IT I BEG!!!

(Especially if you're in one of the fandoms in the tags)

Anyways, that's it, that's the post, I'm probably going to go write something based on this, ciao!

Gaia (2021)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Eco-horror done so well. I adored the message of returning to the earth (whether we like it or not), thus restoring the planet to its former glory.

Sonically beautiful. I was absolutely entranced with the orchestral meeting the organic. Cicadas paired with strings. Creaking trees with percussion. Mushroom spores with soft keyboards?! Such a genius choice and executed so well.

This was such a gorgeous marriage of the Romantic and the Grotesque. So many shots of the Natural in such an intimate way, it yielded a viscerally feeling of connectedness. Adored it and detested it.

Watch this movie if you:

Love the horror and the natural colliding

Similar titles:

The Road (2006) (book about post-apocalypse, very similar eerie feeling, man vs. nature)

Midsommar (2019) (the folk/natural horror goes hand in hand with this one)

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

"BlackBerry" tells the tale of the time when Canada had the world in the palm of its hand, then suddenly lost its grip

More than Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Nike “Air” story from earlier this year,”BlackBerry” is the one business movie that manages to tell the tale of the corporate underdog. This film shares similarities with “Air,” but manages to tell a more complete and realized narrative and is more character driven.One of the notable aspects of “Blackberry” is the involvement of writer/director Matt Johnson,…
