10 things I thought about while watching LOGAN

The retirement plan for mutants involves grumpy facial hair, a penchant for whiskey, and driving a limo. Hugh Jackman's way of saying, "I'm done, but not without some serious side-eye."

Charles Xavier's telepathic powers must be on the fritz. I've never heard so many f-bombs dropped by a man with a British accent. Someone get this guy a mental mute button.

Nothing says quality parenting like raising a mini-Wolverine with an attitude sharper than Logan's claws.

Mutants are going extinct faster than a hipster trend. Logan is like the lone wolf in a world that desperately needs a superhero stylist.

Caliban, the mutant with a cough louder than a metal concert. You'd think someone with enhanced senses would invest in some cough drops.

Logan's healing factor is like a magic eraser for inconvenient wounds. Lost a limb? Give it a minute. It's like Wolverine has Wolverine insurance.

In Logan's world, the X-Men are reduced to comic book characters. It's like Marvel-ception. "Hey, isn't that the guy playing Wolverine?" - Logan, probably.

The Weapon X program went from a high-tech military operation to a shady doctor in a dusty lab. Mutant experimentation on a budget – the struggle is real.

Logan's paternal instincts are as rusty as his claws. Watching him try to be a father figure is like seeing a bull in a china shop – destructive but oddly compelling.

Logan: Because nothing says superhero swan song like a road trip with a kid who's a literal killing machine. It's like Thelma and Louise, but with more adamantium.

GERALD'S GAME (2017)

💁‍♀️Strong Female Lead

I won’t lie, this movie is a heavy one, the subject matter is tough, but if you are able to handle it this is a phenomenal film. I don’t know how Stephen King can write so well for women, but he slips into the role like Buffalo Bill into a suit made of women's skin. This movie is very true to the book, not making the mistakes of other King movies that deviate greatly from his writing and try for a new way of thinking. Gorgeous scenes of the eclipse that flood your senses as they would have Jessie’s. Really an excellent film.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

(Trigger Warning Sexual Abuse, Child Sexual Abuse)

To try and fix their marriage Jessie is handcuffed to the bed in their remote vacation home but the thing is, ladies, gentlemen, and otherwise, you gotta talk to your partners before employing crazy sex stuff because Gerald’s Game freaked Jessie right the fuck out and it wasn’t safe at all!  “We might die here today because of Gerald’s five inches!” Very quickly into Gerald's untimely death and Jessie’s subsequent imprisonment Prince the dog smells the blood and stops by for a bite. This drives Jessie into a madness where she envisions versions of Gerald and herself talking to her (and it is very well done).

Our first night is coming quickly and our best girl uses some quick thinking to get a drink of water before the lights go out. She wakes up to a spooky visitor and we cannot tell if he is real or in her imagination though and her imaginary husband posits that if the spooky visitor is imaginary then why did the real dog leave? This was very chilling. We also got to see what inspired Talk to Me’s foot sucking action, who knew demons loved toes? (We all did, that's why we never dangled our feet out of the covers)

We are brought back to Jessie’s past, the day of the total solar eclipse, the day her father sexually abused her. Then her horrible father tricks her into thinking that telling anyone would make her look bad so she promises him she won’t ever tell anyone. At this point she is convinced that the man she saw in her room last night is Death (or the Moon Man) and that he is coming back tonight to kill her so she has to act NOW. She remembers something else from the day of the eclipse, cutting her hand, which gives her an idea…

THE DEGLOVING SCENE IS SO BRUTAL. I have not been made physically ill by a horror movie in such a long time but here we are. My LANTA was that AWFUL. I had to pause it to take a break because I was thrown off by this scene, it was very well done but excruciating. (I don’t want to go back until the scary lady with the half hand is gone) I was trembling by the time she got the key to the cuffs and was getting a well earned drink from the tap.

She sees the Moon Man on her way out and gives him her wedding ring as a sort of payment, sort of like paying a coin to cross the River Styx only she gets to live. She drives her car, crashes it, but that leads people to find her. She recovers well but it is only months later that she discovers the spooky visitor she saw was a real man after all who was caught for robbing graves. She goes to his hearing and confronts him, telling him he looks small. She goes on to start a foundation to help anyone who has gone through sexual trauma like she did and tells her story everyday.

Um, this was incredibly true to the book and I loved that about it, they only did a few little things here or there to make the story flow a bit better but holy moly if they didn’t stick to the book! I am very pleased! The only thing that I would have LOVED is if she would have taken Prince the dog on as a pet but that wasn’t in the book and in fact they usually have to destroy dogs that have a taste for human flesh so… yeah… but I like to imagine it would be a very powerful move for Jessie to take the dog that terrorized her and have it become a companion cause the dog was just doing what it needed to to survive but maybe that is just me. Brilliant book, brilliant movie. Great job all around to everyone involved!

Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) Review

potential spoilers ahead...

As always with this franchise, the CGI is on another level. The amount of detail and realistic movements applied to these robot cars is truly astounding.

For starters, this movie's story uses a take on Arthurian Legend and adds a dragon on top, and I for one am easily bought by knights and dragons, making the overall story more interesting and fun. Of course the movie with knights, swords, and a dragon Transformer, also manages to show you more of all of the various dinosaur transformers than age of extinction, the dinosaur transformer movie.

This movie directly follows possibly the worst of the Transformers movies (cough extinction cough) which made me almost believe that the movies after would go back to what made the originals before them so much fun (I was wrong, but that's not this movie's fault, its their performance's fault).

Sooo, i have some thoughts....

I watched IT(2017) tonight, and have nobody to talk to about this movie, so tumblrs going to have to do. To preface this, this is the first time i watched the movie, I havent seen the second one yet, and i also never read the book.

I really liked the losers club. Their friendship was really sweet and i love the fact that beverly is written as a human, not as a romantic interest. I love how everyone has their own scares and personality, how they have problems together, and still end up as one of the strongest friend groups ive seen in cinema. I like that there are realistic subplots, and that henrys group isnt overly unrealistic. I can't complain about the main antagonist being unrealistic because that is a clown with a mouth thats like a cross of a venus flytrap and a puched lamprey.

But i still wish they would've dived deeper into each character. We saw a lot of bill, having just lost his brother, but richie literally said once that he was scared of clowns and thats that. Its not mentioned again and you can barely see it. Same with stanley. With Ben, mike and Eddie we got a bit more of their character but still not a lot.

Bev was really interesting. Her character arc was really well done, but for the sake of making it not to explicit, it was kinda confusing.

I also miss the horror. Its supposed to be a horror movie but because the foundation is lacking, the horror elements are mostly relying on the blood and fear of creepy children and masks.

In total: I definitely liked the movie, i will watch chapter two, and I definitely want to read the book, to see if Stephen king talks more about the characters.

It was really fun and i can see myself recommending IT.

[moonytoast-x]

is it two thirty in the morning and im still 15 or did watching ladybird leave me incredibly unsatisfied? greta gerwig ily but what was the ending? no apology from her mom, no conversation at all, just her getting wasted and waking up in the hospital and having some epiphany about her toxic mother being right all along? she goes back to christine? I thought it was a deadname type of situation, I thought we were alluding to things. I thought her mother was a toxic, mean, and unsupportive meanie who wouldn't support her daughter or even tell her she liked her. she was awful! she didn't get out of the car to say goodbye at the airport!! what's going on i don't like it here at all!!!

Tiny Review: The Florida Project 2017. Living in the shadows of Disney World.

It’s one of those experiential, thoughtprovoking movies. Not really a story imo. No character development or arc.

It’s an eyeopener on the lowest caste in the Disneyland hierarchy. A really good commentary on poverty and wealth disparity. Through the eyes of a child.

I wonder how they got permission to film though.

The Florida Project is a 2017 American drama film directed by Sean Baker and written by Baker and Chris Bergoch. Starring Bria Vinaite, Brooklynn Prince, and Willem Dafoe, with Valeria Cotto, Christopher Rivera, and Caleb Landry Jones in supporting roles, it was many of the cast members' first film appearance

I'm seeing the new D&D movie this weekend I'm so excited so I'm going to talk about the Loser's and how'd they play D&D.

Bill- He's definitely the DM. Comes up with all these insane homebrew campaigns that drive the Losers crazy. Also he is not afraid to kill their characters, he is ruthless and his monsters are genuinely scary. The few times he's actually played he plays a fuckin human wizard (derogatory)

Richie- He plays as a human bard, is anyone surprised? He tries to fuck monsters all the time and Bill kicks the table when he rolls. Richie has been successful twice and now his character has to go on quests to pay for child support. Also he actually sings when required to.

Bev- She plays an half-orc barbarian, you go girl! She charges into battle all the time and completely wrecks shit up. Bill always targets her character first because Bev has her character stacked up and is very efficient in weapons. She is out for blood when she plays. Sometimes she forgoes the party's plan and just charges in to fight.

Stan- He plays a high elf rogue, we all know he's that bitch. He'll sneak off during battle and pull sneak attacks. The party will be about to attack and they'll be like?? Where is Stan?? But Stan has already got into position behind the monster. Also Stan character acts the shit out of the roleplaying, fight me on this

Mike- He plays a wood elf druid, of course he's the nature guy. Honestly I don't know much about druids but it screams Mike. He's more a pacifist and is constantly trying to tame the animals they come across. He's the player to ask "But is this creature really evil?" It works sometimes, he's got himself a pet owl bear. Also Mike occasionally dms but he never kills their characters.

Eddie- He plays a dragonborn paladin. He likes to act like he's not as chaotic as some of Losers like Bev when it comes to fighting but the moment a villian hits him he goes crazy and fights them with a chaotic energy only he could muster. Also he notoriously rolls horrible and he gets so MAD, they can always count on Eddie to curse up a storm in a session.

Ben- He plays a gnome fighter, he wants to be small but powerful. Poor Ben is the one who actually comes up with plans to take down monsters and bad guys, it's just that no one listens to him. He's also a charming character and constantly has to apologize to the npc on behalf of the party's behavior.

hey, Saw V But Again is actually really fucking good! genuinely had a blast with this and the third act was so fun to piece together, genuinely that last 30 minutes saves it from being kind of generic and mediocre; but the rest of the movie was still pretty fun, the third act just really sells it. also the closest one of these movies comes to actually saying ACAB, especially compared to the plot of Saw IV, where the plot was "the police cares too much about people."

My ★★★★ review of Jigsaw on Letterboxd

[kdnss77]

Creep (2014) + Creep 2 (2017)

basic info: both movies are an original creation form the Duplass brothers - including directing, story, as well as character writing (the plot is believed to have been was alternated multiple times whilst making of the film, therefore various takes on different scenes have been created, although not necessarily used in the final cut). they've been recorded in found footage convention (produced by Jason Blum; ever heard of Paranormal Activity?), mostly being rather fragmentary (as the only source of the viewer's cognition is the picture recorded on a portable camera). it could be also described as a psychological horror or a thriller - preferably for the reason of an overall sense of tension or uncanniness, caused by some acts performed by the odd protagonist in both cases.

overall ratings: imdb: 6,3/10 + 6,4/10 rotten tomatoes: 91% + 100% letterboxd: 3.3/5 + 3.3/5

plot summary: plots of both movies are quite similar in opposition to each other - they feature a thorough, motion-picture documentation of the turnabouts of unusual confrontations between a cameraperson and a seemingly harmless, although pathologically deceitful man (who later on is revealed to be a serial killer with no criminal record registered). in Creep, the individual brought into remote premises of a rental wooden cabin is Aaron - tempted by an offer of a financial opportunity, which includes helping a cancer-infected, an overly affectionate man make a short film about himself, for the reason of it being shown to his still unborn baby in case he dies sometime before that. they engage into lighthearted activities, some of them particularly intimate (like Josef taking a tubby with an imaginary Buddy - his alleged baby - and descending into a depressive spiral right after, later turning trying to drown himself in the bath into a bad joke) - Aaron doing his job behind the camera and Josef gradually losing control over his beforehand scripted craft. after leaving the cabin and cutting ties with the strange man, Aaron begins receiving unnerving cds along with generous gifts - a video showing Josef burying brimful trash bags (perhaps a warning, because he didn't manage to kill him back then?) or a baby wolf plushie stuffed with a necklace with their cut-out photos inside. upon finally and ultimately meeting with Josef, Aaron - deceived by his naivety - is killed by the other man, him all dressed in the beloved Peachfuzz mask and by smashing his prey's brains with an axe.

the events of Creep 2 take a kindred turn, excluding the ending alone. this time a woman - Sara - decides to familiarize herself with the origins of a self-proclaimed and burned out serial killer's motifs for murder, for the sake of gaining minimal popularity for her internet show called Encounters (where she engages in potentially uncomfortable situations with strangers posting various announcements online, covering their pitiful stories and trying to understand their sorrow). for that reason, she insists on staying in the face of presumable danger and is determined to get to know Aaron (Josef changes his name to this one after dealing with his victim in Creep) as conscientiously as possible, bringing his most sensitive aspects to the daylight - by provoking him to confess about his abduction experience during his breakdown in the hot tub or signing him up for a game of two lies and one truth (this way revealing that he has never slept with a woman). along with a growing passion that Aaron holds for Sara, he convinces himself into a double suicide performed by him and his companion, which would thrillingly end with them both crawling into a freshly digged grave together. but later on is made to knock out his so-called soulmate, who had tried to run away in terror. however, he's the one ending up unconscious, as Sara manages to get out of the hole she had been dragged into, just in time to incapacitate Aaron with a shovel. so, in the very ending of the movie and in contrary to Creep, the victim survives. although this could be easily debunked, as the closing scenes include an unspecified individual following Sara, unaware of being the central frame of the device. she realizes the identity of her follower, obviously petrified, only after they begin their quiet whistling. this vague and obscure ending is either a foreshadow of a decent continuation or a terse message, that Aaron hasn't given up on his priorities yet.

my thoughts: seldom does it occur, that the descendant is better than the sacred original. well, that's the case for me. i highly enjoy releases kept in found footage style, and that's one of the main reasons which had drawn me to Creep as a whole at first. however, the movie from 2014 seems more of an prologue something more, to me - not a separate entirety, as i feel it should. without a sequel, or at least if i had decided not to watch the second installment at all, it would be consistently complete - had it not been for some threads picked up and left afloat just as quickly, this incoherence would have been much more valuable. on the other hand, i'm prone to considering it an advantage; bending upon the figure of Josef, a remarkably impostorous individual altering his narration depending on the situation, so as to make himself look extremely lonely or vulnerable and find himself in favor of his victims, the inconsistency (like, for instance, in case of his potential mental issues, for which he was treated but never managed to feel any better or to fit into society; basically putting up a show about him being a poor, unwanted human being. it's never confirmed, whether he was factually unwell in a psychological sense and it was the thing that supported his violent and weird behaviors or he was straight out a reckless murderer, using those mercy-seeking tricks for his own satisfaction and fulfilling his twisted needs) would have been deliberate and acceptable.

i also feel that the performance we're given in the entirety of Creep is a quite reliable, and therefore a realistic portrayal of a serial killer. firstly and foremostly, Josef/Aaron is negatively intimidating on several levels, but just by his very existence when in direct contact. not exactly terrifying, especially from the start alone, but always unnerving in a way. and chaotic in his thinking patterns or their complete lack of, mostly acting irrationally. at least that's what i'd say makes Mark Duplass's performance so authentic, despite its voluntary amateurism, resulting from the found footage convention. and the portrayal of this character reaches its peak in the second installment - he's more straightforward, more insane and more disturbing, yet electrifying. in Creep, the boldest to which Josef confesses to is raping his alleged wife (also presumably interested in animal pornography) in his beloved wolf mask - at this point, its genuineness is questionable, especially when taking into consideration his way of being and the fact about no sexual contacts withe the opposite sex revealed in Creep 2. but what bugs me about it, is the thing Aaron mentions in the movie from 2017 - right after uncovering Sara's actual intentions, he mentions, he never entirely lies and always remains true in his eyes or heart. it just plain points to him having those tendencies either way. or never meaning to say anything that comes out of is mouth, seeking enjoyment in pretending on a daily basis. however, in the sequel - although implicitly provoked by Sara - he shamelessly claims to have murdered 39 people so far and aims for 40, confesses to pleasuring the act of murder, describes the time he was abducted and almost killed in his teens or kindly asks his companion to end his life. pure madness, just as if he was on the verge of insanity - if the state of mind he has already been suck in could get any worse by then. and it seemed like all of these things mentioned were true to him. he meant them - with his words, eyes and heart.

coming down to that, there's another thing i want to mention - the matter of trust and naivety. Aaron, in the first installment, has boundless faith in Josef's misery and non-culpable loneliness haunting him, those connected to misjudgment of his odd personality. so, he doesn't turn around when supposed to meet him by the lake and, consequently, is killed - literally - by his lack of reasoning. the same goes for Aaron in the second part of the series - he continues speaking to the camera, praising Sara's greatness and importance into the numb silence of the woods, when she's preparing herself to beat him with a shovel in the meantime - just behind him, ready to swing it anytime. he also could've turned back. i perceive it as a very nice parallel, just like the question Sara asks Aaron when he's chopping wood with the infamous axe; that is, if any part of him intends on murdering her with that tool. ring ring, the same thing was raised in the 2014 film, although the question came from Josef and was about whether Aaron had any doubts about being attacked with it. he also shows the video he was working on with his previous victim, just like a well maintained souvenir, of him sticking that same axe into Aaron's head to Sara. really, really nice. what's also nice is Xiu Xiu's track played alone with the credits. a sublime, but a forceful touch. on spot, even. that brings me to an unfortunate statement - Duplass's acting - first as Josef and then as Aaron - carries the whole series, crafts the appropriate atmosphere and is the reason for the originality of the movies among others of similar kind. he does it all, story aside. 

my rating (on a scale from 1 to 5): 3/5 + 4/5

favorite quote: "Well, this is my destiny. Sara loves her juicy fruit. And Aaron loves to kill."

favorite scene: (because why not) i'd actually name two here; one from Creep and the other from Creep 2. the one regarding the first release would be Josef standing high up the cabin stairs, his face swallowed by the dark and almost desperately insisting on Aaron staying overnight. the tension accompanying this scene was something else, almost as if that one drink with Josef was a matter of life and death. because it was, in the long run. at least an extremely crucial decision. in terms on Creep 2, i'd point to the shot consisting in Aaron sitting in the bathtub - with this disturbing kind of gaze in his eyes - and telling a story about his favorite song, smoothly moving onto describing his earliest trauma. this whole sequence felt strangely intimate, so as not to state that it felt intimidating - because most of Josef's/Aaron's acts could be labeled this way.

the images were found by me on the internet, credit to their original uploaders.

IMPOSSIBLE HORROR (2017)

This was a super low budget movie, a “micro” budget as some might say.  Some productions in this situation lean into the budget, offering a winking meta commentary on the limited funds.  This movie, “Impossible Horror,” doesn’t do that.  It simply does what it can with what little it has. 

We start with Lily, a young woman with insomnia.  Her apartment is haunted.  She aspires to live a creative life.  She goes for a walk one night and hears a mysterious scream!  She begins to go for night walks and encounters another young woman, Hannah.  There are also strange hoodie people.  Each night, after the scream, they find a random object where the scream originated.  One night there is a typewriter, but the hoodie people take it first.  Hannah fights them in a rather neat, low budget, fight.

Lily decides to make a movie of their adventures.  She films them with her smart phone.  One night the scream leads them to a buried journal, which she hides from Hannah.  Lily reads the journal, which is by Amber, Hannah’s former girlfriend, who killed herself and now haunts Lily’s apartment!  Turns out, Amber and other people were also hunting the scream, all for their own purposes, but each of the people ended up killing themselves.

They visit one dude who did not succeed in killing himself.  Lily goes to talk to him, and he tries to munch of her feet.  She grapples with a sheet before Hannah pulls her free.  Lily then cuts herself and enters a crazed state.  The scream leads them to a buried notebook, inside of which are Polaroid-style photographs of people who were hunting the scream, including Lily!  There is an extended fight scene between Hannah and the hoodie people over the notebook, but she and Lily escape with it. 

Hannah wants to destroy the notebook.  Lily needs it for her movie, and she and Hannah have an extended struggle over the books.  It’s nothing like the fight from “John Carpenter’s They Live” (1988), but it’s actually not bad.  Lily ends up stabbing Hannah and then chases her into an underground garage.  Lily stalks after her with a little metallic shove.  She finally sees Hannah, but a security guard interrupts her.  Lily approaches him and stabs him in the stomach with the shovel.  Hannah runs to Lily’s room and hides in the bathroom.  The ghost tries to help Hannah, but Lily finally stands outside the bathroom tell and tells Hannah that she should kill herself: “Aren’t you tired of failing?  There’s nothing wrong with giving up.”

Hannah removes her own picture from the notebook, and there is a razor.  She is about to slit her own wrist, but she hears Lily watching their filmed adventures.  Hannah leaves the bathroom and joins her.  “This is pretty cool,” Hannah says.  “Yeah,” Lily says, “It’s not terrible.”  Hannah says that Lily should keep working on the film.  Lily says that she needs an ending.  “What did you have in mind?” Hannah asks.  Lily smiles at Hannah, and then the hoodie people attack!  They overwhelm Hannah and knock the notebook out of her hand.  They are about to stab Hannah, but Lily picks up the notebook and starts to tear out a page!  She kicks her laptop to Hannah and tells her, “Film it.  Please.”

The hoodie people attack Lily and disembowel her!  She still manages to destroy the notebook, and the hoodie people disintegrate.  Before Lily dies she has a vision of Hannah and herself going to a movie theater and watching her movie, “Impossible Horror.”  Hannah gets up and stumbles to the porch, where she hears people screaming everywhere.

This was surprisingly…good.  It’s a weird Lovecraftian horror movie about an unexplainable eldritch threat that drives people insane, but the filmmakers limited the scope to just two young people, so the plot didn’t overwhelm the skills or budget of the production.  The filmmaking techniques drew from many inspirations, from found footage to your run-of-the-mill teenager terror flicks to kung-fu action movies.  Most scenes were successful.  The fighting scenes looked like a lot of fun to film, but I felt that they detracted from the overall creepiness of the movie.  The acting was…competent.  Lily and Hanna’s banter was reminiscent of a mumblecore movie from the early 2000’s.  Hannah was flat and emotionless, but she was meant to be that way.  Lily showed a bit more range, but even then her reactions were constrained by the typical young-person-only-speaks-ironically trope.  Her physical acting was excellent.  Early on, she walks outside with a baseball bat, but before she leaves the building she performs an awkward practice swing.  Later on, as she’s chasing Hannah, she embodies menace and terror.  She extends the blade of her metal shovel with a practiced flick of her wrist.  She was creepy and deranged.

IT COMES AT NIGHT (2017)

😿Dog Dies

A simple yet complex tale about family during an apocalyptic sickness. You can take it at face value or dig deeper, It Comes at Night gives you the option to do either or. Simply disturbing in part due to human nature and how hard we fight for our kin even if it may not be “right” (hello, Pet Sematary).

⭐⭐⭐.5

Family of three (mom, dad, son) living in woods (was a family of four but they had to off the grandpa ‘cause he was “sick”). Stranger breaks in during the night, they find out he has a family (wife and son), they bring the family to their home (big mistake). First family's dog goes missing, comes back that night but he is “sick.” Second family's son let him in while sleepwalking and the first family's son (Travis) sent him back to bed. So basically everyone has been contaminated, right? Either way the second family’s kid gets “sick” and the first family takes the second family out, it is brutal. Travis is shell shocked and comes down sick the next day (just like his vivid nightmares predicted).The movie ends as it starts with the first family going down a member due to sickness, this time Travis. We close on a shot of just the mom and dad, no talking.

We do the hard things during the hard times. It comes at night. Begging the question, what is it? We know from the title that it comes at night but we learn very quickly that the “it” in question might also come during the day too. What “it” is may be up for interpretation but for me the “it” was terror, usually in the form of nightmares for our main character Travis. As anyone who suffers from frequent nightmares will tell you, they plague the nights and don’t let go, sometimes the sufferer feels safer sleeping in the day because if they have a nightmare then they would wake to the sunshine instead of darkness. I think the terror came at night. And Travis’ fears were right.

Baby Driver (2017) Review

potential spoilers ahead...

Brilliant soundtrack and score. The story is compelling and uses the music to help deliver both emotional and plot breakthroughs. The characters motivation slowly being discovered and the main character's revealed through the song choices is an interesting narrative move. Even with many of the characters motivations capable of being summed down to just "money", the movie has good pacing and never feels too soon or too late when it comes to discoveries about the characters and their motivations. Even with Baby barely speaking, he manages to say so much and gets you to care about his character and what happens to him, his family, and his history. I'm definitely biased by the cars and the music choices, but it is an amazing, interesting, and fun movie.
