海がきこえる (1993)

English title: Ocean Waves

♥♥♥

Decent visuals and good music. The story is the weakest point.

ゲド戦記 (2006)

English title: Tales from Earthsea

♥♥♥♥

Great soundtrack, beautifully drawn and animated world and a decent story. <3

The author of the books disliked it though, so I'd like to watch something truer to the universe if they make it later, e.g. a new TV series.
Didn't learn that much about the universe here IMO.

The Breadwinner (2017)

♥♥♥♥♥

Best film I've watched in quite a while!
Good story, nice audio-visually and despite it's sad nature they manage to add humor as well. 
Not that humor is required for a good film on a serious topic, but I think in this case it's done well.

Would like to watch the other "Cartoon Saloon" films!

Invader ZIM: Enter the Florpus (2019)

♥♥

Very disappointing compared to the series, which was great!

A History of Violence (2005)

♥♥♥

Pretty anvilicious movie, and thus quite predictable.
Visuals are just decent, and the acting is arguably sub par. Audio is good, but not great.


All movies or TV series' by David Cronenberg

Only God Forgives (2013)

♥♥♥♥♥

Was somewhat distracted watching it but it seemed great.
Could potentially deserve a 4 instead on a re-watch.

Rather David Lynch-like, but with a bit of Tarantino-like action.

Beautiful audiovisually!

Note that the director is a shitty animal abuser.
Incidentally just like Jodorowsky who was hailed in the end credits.

Modern Times (1936)

♥♥♥


All movies or TV series' by Charlie Chaplin

Eastern Promises (2007)

Decently entertaining, fake accents get kinda tiring.

Prometheus (2012)

♥♥♥♥

If you have what clearly seems to be a sentient cyborg, don't treat him as a slave "just because he's not human".
It reveals a lot about your character, and it's not positive.

Alien rankings, I think:
Alien > Prometheus >> Alien 3 > Resurrection > Aliens

A bit unsure if Aliens and Resurrection are equal.

The Spy Who Loved Me (1977)

♥♥♥

James 'Creep' Bond strikes again, and quite a bit of sexism, and only a small portion of it is subverted.
Other than that it was fairly entertaining.

Who is the least creepy Bond? Maybe Lazenby or Craig? Curious what the future will bring, if the franchise continues much longer.

Apocalypto (2006)

♥♥♥♥

daggerfall rat sound effect in the start, LOL

such malice :'(

violence towards nonhuman animals -> violence towards human animals is just a small step further

unfortunate that bully asshat is someone we're supposed to sympathise so much with

at some point one wonders: is this a rambo film?


All movies or TV series' by Mel Gibson

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969)

♥♥♥

Closer to 4 than 2.

Stalking a woman and then objectifying her, that's James Bond alright :/
And he's even among the less awful Bonds in this regard. We'll see what the future brings.
My guess is substantially better movies.

Bond ratings are presumably:
Roger Moore > Pierce Brosnan > George Lazenby > Sean Connery > Daniel Craig >Timothy Dalton

Django Unchained (2012)

♥♥♥

Closer to 4 than 2.


All movies or TV series' by Quentin Tarantino

The Suicide Squad (2021)

♥♥♥

Closer to 4 than 2.
Rankings: 
The Suicide Squad > Suicide Squad = Birds of Prey

PEACEMAKER: I cherish peace with all my heart. I don't care how many men, women and children I have to kill to get it.

^ delivered like Albert Rosenfield would

Positive representation for rats is rare, and it's quite decent here!

Sad ending for the alien that was tortured for ages. :/
And WTF is that not publicizing the information?! Fuck that shit.

Office Space (1999)

♥♥♥♥

Peter could easily be played by Owen or Luke Wilson too.

PETER: I don't know about you guys but I'm tired of being pushed around. Aren't you?
SAMIR: Yes Peter! But I'm not going to do anything illegal.
PETER: Illegal?! Samir this is america!

Fairly discriminatory, which is unfortunate because the characters are just as funny without that drawback.

♥♥♥

GARY CHRISTIE: "I don't trust anyone"
 - someone's been watching their X-Files!

Alien rankings:
Alien > Alien 3 > Resurrection > Aliens

...I think. A bit unsure if Aliens and Resurrection are equal.


All movies or TV series' by Jean-Pierre Jeunet

Alien³ (1992)

♥♥♥

First half deserved a 4, but it went downhill from there unfortunately. Still I'd probably rank them:
Alien >>> Alien 3 > Aliens

Beautiful cinematography and good setting design, decent music.

Setting: Trapped on a station with a whole lot of redshirts!

Dillon's a cool guy, besides Ripley of course.

Morale: If you have crucial information, share it <3 ;)

Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

♥♥♥

So much promotion of animal body parts / secretions. :/ 
Other than that a decent film.

Nicely mad(e) end credits!

Летят журавли (1957)

English title: The Cranes Are Flying

♥♥♥♥

Sad and touching. Really creepy man, that Mark!

Tatyana Samoylova sort of reminds me of Anna Karina - and a decade later Samoyloya also starred in the movie adaptation of the Leo Tolstoy book "Anna Karenina", which Anna Karina's name is based off.
She predates Anna Karina though, so it could be the latter, or Jean-Luc Godard, was inspired by her character in this movie.
Or maybe I'm seeing similarities where there aren't any.

Suicide Squad (2016)

♥♥♥

watched theatrical cut

too rushed generally
bad joker performance IMO

wild soundtrack. not particularly great (fitting), but certainly filled with mainstream hits/artists

the film gets somewhat better in the second half IMO, bringing the grade up from probably 2 to a certain 3.

feel kinda sad for the sorceress.
but evil woman in charge of threatening team is garbage

Bottle Rocket (1996)

♥♥♥

"Okay okay, I'm just messing around" - real Dennis Hopper vibes right there. 
Quite homophobic at several times, though. :/


All movies or TV series' by Wes Anderson

Witness for the Prosecution (1957)

♥♥♥

Wilfrid is quite the sexist man. :/ She's also treating him like a child though, but it's no excuse.

And then there are rapey soldiers + a victim blaming suspect that literally buys a woman food and expects romance in return, assaulting her, with romantic music playing as if it's actually romantic.

LEONARD: This is England, you don't get arrested for something you haven't done. 
WILFRID: We try not to make a habit of it.

Had no idea nitroglycerin was also used as a medication, getting smarter every day.

三度目の殺人 (2017)

English title: The Third Murder

♥♥♥♥

Visually beautiful and funny, and an engaging watch.

Prisoners (2013)

♥♥♥♥

Reminds me a bit of Mare of Easttown which I saw a short while earlier, which was also better than this one.


All movies or TV series' by Denis Villeneuve

My Favourite Year (1982)

♥♥♥

"Be super annoying and super disrespectfully pushy, and get the woman"... sad trope.

Second half, starting from the park walk, is the better half.
