Nicholaus Prescott (131 KP) created a post

Jan 11, 2019  
I really enjoyed the venom movie. It was pretty much what I expected and a bit more, especially for a intro movie. I'm super excited for carnage to show up in the next film with woody Harrelson playing the role. I've always loved the art and talent that went with venom in the comics and it's cool to see it in movies now.

There was a slew of angry rebellious nihilistic cinema in this period and Blue Spring may just be the most punk rock of them all. Its an artistic nasty little film full of violence and tension, as if art House got really pissed off and decided to say eff you. A seminal piece of cinema

"Passionate, personal, and uplifting documentary filmmaking. This is a true example of the power of the art form, and a terrific movie too. Rarely do you find filmmakers with such an insight to the world of sports, and the ability to examine the personal politics that run underneath it. This should be required viewing for any sports or film fan."

"My friend Audrey Gelman showed me this film as the beginning of my political education. While it is a documentary that provides a ton of backstory on the Clinton campaign and the art and science of electing a president, it has the pace and power of a good thriller produced by George Clooney with David Strathairn in at least one role with gravitas."

Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot was a fantastic film! Joaquin Phoenix plays John Callahan, an alcoholic who gets help becoming sober after an accident that paralyzes him and in the process discovers he has a real knack for drawing funny comic strips. For anyone who finds his art offensive, I think your funny bone might be paralyzed.

On paper Lynne Ramsay's art-house thriller looks like it's channelling Taxi Driver plus any Luc Besson thriller you care to mention: brutal mercenary (Phoenix) takes on a mission to free a senator's daughter, but the job goes bad, to say the least.

However, it's not just the story, but how you tell it - the plot itself is cut down to the bone, and the film is built around the way the director presents a succession of tiny details, a broodingly intense performance from Phoenix, and a driving score from Jonny Greenwood. Pretty heavy stuff throughout, with some graphic violence and a relentlessly bleak vision of the world, but not the kind of film you can really look away from once it has you in its grasp. Not sure it really qualifies as entertainment, but an impressive work of art.
