Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

♥♥♥♥

Probably one of the best MCU movies I've seen so far, maybe even on par with Guardians of the Galaxy 1+2! Or at least close.

All movies or TV series' by Curtis Hanson

Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (1958)

English title: Elevator to the Gallows

♥♥♥

All movies or TV series' by Louis Malle

Lucky Luke: La Ballade des Dalton (1978)

English title: La ballade des Dalton

♥♥♥♥

A movie I watched when I was a kid. An awful lot of racist stereotypes, sadly. 
I like that the non human animals win over the animal abusing humans though, in the rodeo and related competitions, and that we can understand their communication in general. Sadly the horse didn't beat Lucky Luke.

All movies or TV series' by René Goscinny

The Stranger (1946)

♥♥♥

Closer to 4 than 2.

All movies or TV series' by Orson Welles

Ready Player One (2018)

♥♥♥♥

Nice watch, a ton of references obviously of which I caught several but probably missed as many.

He should've spent part of the first earnings already to help his aunt out or at least get her new gloves if she wanted to. Incidentally he also seemed quite unaffected about her later??

All movies or TV series' by Steven Spielberg

Offret (1986)

English title: The Sacrifice

♥♥♥♥

Somewhat unsure what actually transpired in parts of the story.
Quite beautiful audiovisually!
Of the ones I rated 4, I think Zerkalo and especially Stalker were better.

All movies or TV series' by Andrei Tarkovsky

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

♥♥♥

Reminds me a bit of Blow and Goodfellas. 
I'm not sure whether it's trying to glorify this unethical way of life or not, where women are mostly commodities, there's no ethics - at least to the general public and being rich and irresponsible is "cool".

It's mostly a fairly entertaining watch though.

All movies or TV series' by Martin Scorsese

Conspiracy Theory (1997)

♥♥♥

All movies or TV series' by Richard Donner

Her (2013)

♥♥♥♥♥

Beautiful, thought-provoking film with a very fitting soundtrack. Very well made and captivating.

Part of their conflict remind me of the one encountered by Doctor Manhattan and Silk Spectre in Watchmen.
The "Lying on the moon" melody somehow reminds me of...La La Land? "Here's to the Fools Who Dream", maybe?

All movies or TV series' by Spike Jonze

Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)

♥♥♥

Would like to rewatch as I suspect my mood might've negatively affected the rating.

All movies or TV series' by Alejandro González Iñárritu

Ida (2013)

♥♥♥

That aunt is cool!

All movies or TV series' by Paweł Pawlikowski

Finding Neverland (2004)

♥♥♥♥

Touching.

All movies or TV series' by Marc Forster

Kış Uykusu (2014)

English title: Winter Sleep

♥♥♥♥

Closer to 5 than 3. Quite an intense philosophical, interesting watch. Well written!
Nihal would be better off leaving Aydin in my opinion. It's creepy to think about how this relationship happened in the first place. Arranged marriage?

All movies or TV series' by Nuri Bilge Ceylan

The Living Daylights (1987)

♥♥♥

If only they knew that cows milk is not for humans that never would've happened and
further problems could've been avoided, if he didn't underestimate women.

Bond ratings - I think:
Roger Moore > Pierce Brosnan > Sean Connery > Daniel Craig >Timothy Dalton

Roma (2018)

♥♥♥♥

Touching, well-made film, and a good portrayal of class differences (they are meaningless and sad).

All movies or TV series' by Alfonso Cuarón

Casino Royale (2006)

♥♥♥♥

Much better than Skyfall in my opinion. More twists, less overly powerful Bond who's also being outsmarted at times, which makes it more interesting. Well played by Le Chiffre.

Friday (1995)

♥♥♥

Pretty good if it wasn't for the sexism and sizeism. :/ The guys really don't treat women or even their girlfriends very well. 

The movie reminds me of Clerks. Friday was released one year after but was probably already in production when Clerks was out.
Craig's father is quite a funny character.

I Kill Giants (2017)

♥♥♥♥

At first I quite disliked the younger siblings for being irresponsible and ungrateful, leaving Karen with everything, but far in I finally could see why this was the state of affairs. 
Karen handled it best, while for the others even their basic composure was challenging to maintain with everything going on, and they each had their somewhat similar means of escapism which they vigorously and desperately clung to.

Skyfall (2012)

♥♥♥

I've actually seen a lot of James Bond movies but it was before I started rating them.
I seem to remember my favourite of the long-time Bonds was Roger Moore.
I'm inclined to rank them like this:
Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery, Daniel Craig.
I don't remember what I felt about the different short-term Bonds.
What annoys be about Sean Connery is not the acting but rather the type of Bond he plays.

Hoping for a more progressive Bond in the future. There can still be romance, even towards many people, as long as he doesn't treat them worthlessly or mislead them but is upfront about it. 
He can have an asshole side but not be like that towards an entire gender, but rather to those individuals who actually deserve it.
Furthermore there can be spy-movie antics, gadgets and the like which we all know from the series.

La La Land (2016)

♥♥♥♥

Liked it quite a lot! Well executed story, and pretty good music!

That ending kinda came as a surprise, and being a sucker for even over the top romance I was quite saddened by it :'( , but on the other hand it seems to bring some realism into the movie world in general, with all those opting for happily ever after. It's sad now they're just each other's "somebody that they used to know". At least they could be friends, but maybe their previous intense emotions would get in the way and make it painful. Perhaps she was happy now, but he seemed less so, and that asymmetry is something one would often encounter in real life, and should really get "used to" (or at least accept), however difficult it is.
Not the most captivating intro in my opinion, kinda over the top, but fortunately it gets on track after that.

All movies or TV series' by Damien Chazelle

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011)

♥♥♥♥

Quite captivating! Nice acting and music! 
Also a bit confusing though, at least on my first watch, so I'd like to rewatch it.

Sorry to bother you (2018)

♥♥♥♥

Quite a ride!

All movies or TV series' by Boots Riley

Kindergarten Cop (1990)

♥♥♥

wtf was that about a mother being scared your son plays with dolls and then John conforting her saying he's using it as a decoy to objectify women by looking up their skirts?! call out such homophobic bullshit and if he literally has the reason you say then that certainly is an issue. if it's just to get the mother to back off it's not good enough, her homophobia and internal sexism (thinking he's worse for having interests considered "girly") should be challenged.

...and then some patriotism and promotion of animal exploitation (cows milk)

Other than that it was an OK watch. Nothing particularly interesting but also not overly boring.
