Licorice pizza.

Very uneven film. More to like then dislike though. Some hilarious small parts and side plots for sure.

Still worth going to the cinema for though.

I'm watching TASTELESS, a pretty great so far doc on the Truly Tasteless Jokes book series, which I had forgotten all about.

Ambulance.

The most Michael Bay film ever made. I doubt any film will ever be more Michael Bay then this.

8mm (1999)

that ridiculous photo of nic cages new dracula outfit put me in the mood to revisit this stone cold classic from his filmography. I still like it! gandolfini, stormare and phoenix elevate the movie with their performances.
must be the first time I noticed the snuff killer is a dead ringer for george costanza, they even named him george ... strange coincidence or intended?

The Nice Guys - I watched it again for the first time in a few years. It's such a rad movie. I've never heard anyone say that they didn't like it, yet we still don't have a sequel? At the very least, I see that Shane Black has two projects on the go: an adaptation of DOC SAVAGE and a crime film starring Robert Downey Jr called PLAY DIRTY. I was happy to see that Hollywood hasn't shunned him after THE PREDATOR.

It's magnificent. The core trio there are all on record as saying they'd love a sequel. It didn't exactly set the box office alight though and I suspect we're out of luck.

Saw X yesterday. It was all right, but a bit overhyped. Will probably never see it again.

The Card Counter, a return to form for Paul Schrader. His last efforts have been so-so (I would even say Dog eat Dog was absolute garbage).

The scenes showing the atrocities at Abu Ghraib were genuinely disturbing; the camera work was really effective.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - Went to a filthy movie theater for this and it was fun at first, but, ironically, it really started to play out like one of the many forgettable recent Cage movies that it's supposed to be commenting on. It lost me when it stopped being funny and almost abandoned the meta-aspect to focus on the completely uninteresting kidnap/spy plot. This last part of the movie is too serious and goes on forever. The movie has no business being 107 minutes; I couldn't wait for it to end. That being said, there are some nice Cage moments (that inevitably lack the charm and spontaneity of his real unhinged work in stuff like VAMPIRE'S KISS and DEADFALL) and overall I think it was a good idea for a film (although it borrows quite liberally from Adam Rifkin's superior Burt Reynolds homage THE LAST MOVIE STAR, not to mention JCVD) and it came at the perfect time (no need to puzzle over why Cage is doing this anymore). The cool thing is that I don't see it affecting Cage's career one way or another; the film is insignificant enough that Cage can and probably will continue appearing in random films, just like before.

Skin: A history Of Nudity In the Movies. This starts alright. There's an explanation of the Hayes code, the films preceding it, the films that circumvented it and the films that ended it. After that though it really just reduces itself to 'and did you see the tits in this film!" With a talking head jumping on to saying something insightful along the lines of "that was really embarrassing to shoot but hey, I was in a movie!" For 13 year old boys this is a tremendous resource- although they have pornhub these days- but it's not really good for a lot else. Long too. Malcolm McDowell is an absolute highlight. They should have saved on the other guests and just got him to narrate his way through the whole thing.

I need to see Fast Times At Ridgemont High...

I need to see Fast Times At Ridgemont High...

Wha? You're saying you haven't actually ever seen it? I know you're an Aussie and all, but ... Damn, man, FIX that. Probably not the best of the teen sex comedy/dramas but definitely in the top 5. Well worth the time.
