Barbarian (2022)

A woman staying at an Airbnb discovers that the house she has rented is not what it seems.

where can I watch it: Hulu/Max

rating: 9/10

HOT DAMN THIS ONE WAS GOOD.

It’s been a bit since I watched this one, but I absolutely adored it. It was a GREAT monster movie.

The monster itself was wonderfully done; I love a good bastardization of motherhood up in here. Its origin delightfully delivered (love the change in aspect ratio to delineate time periods).

It’s well paced, escalates smoothly, and has a lot of tooth to it. A great movie if you want a cautionary tale against air bnb’s lol.

I put it on the rec list. There's only so much I can say about it, honestly. Just go see it. It's so good.

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

Where can I watch it: hulu

review: 6/10 (roast worthy)

ONE FOR THE ROAST LIST!

This is a movie that tries to juggle between being a legitimate horror piece and being a horror comedy and it fails at both. Despite having a lot of makeup work and visual effects that were surprisingly good, it just didn't lean in to any one direction.

The main villains and the character Big Mac seemed to be the only ones aware of how campy the movie they were in is. They made the whole thing much more enjoyable to watch.

It's a fun movie. It's especially fun to watch with friends and yell at the screen for the whole thing. But, I wouldn't go out of the way to watch this with a seriousness on my own time.

65 (2023) - REVIEW

SYNOPSIS

After his ship crashes on prehistoric Earth, the pilot rescues a young girl, the only surviving passenger, where they must traverse the dangerous landscape to reach an escape ship that was lost during the crash.

It has a premise that is never explained, the set up is achieved in some very questionable circumstances but none less what we should have is a fun filled adventure that sees Adam Driver take on some dinosaurs. 65 has some other things going forward it as well; it's only 90 minutes long so it doesn't outstay its welcome, the dinosaur effects are good and the back drop is stunning. Yet 65 is just so unforgivably dull and disinteresting during its first half that I struggled not to walk out. What also didn't help matters was the awful editing that at times swiftly took a character out of what seemed like imminent danger and into a place of safety. Adam Driver and Ariana Greenblatt give strong performances as a pair hindered by a language barrier and their relationship does develop to the point that I sort of cared what happened to them. The second half is a lot stronger than the first but given that the first half was so dull, my investment simply wasn't there to make it a satisfying experience.

VERDICT

Despite its committed lead actors, 65 is too dull for too long to be a satisfying experience.

2.5/5

Watching keep breathing and I just thought you know what would be original? a futuristic space survival movie. Then I remembered both Gravity and The Martian exist
