236. The 4th man - dutch erotic thriller, a creepy writer gets caught up in a web of intrigue when he tries to sleep a woman’s boyfriend. Dream like & creepy Verhoeven directs and lead karabbe to the be the sleaziest ever. Great film, a mix of sunset boulevard & death in Venice
237. Scum (1977 TV movie) - brutal drama about the inmates of a male young offenders institute. It crams lots into its hour and 10, it’s brutal and i can see why it was banned for years. Some elements are reduced but still powerful. So weaker performances from the kids, great.
238. Twisted pair - after years of doing everything in a film there was only one thing more for neil breen to do in a film, he now plays twins in this film! He also has bought a a green screen as he now puts himself in stock videos and photos. Also in this film he can fly
239. Y2K - nostalgia bait comedy horror about computers becoming aware and attacking and absorbing people and technology. It forces lots of references but not the one film that it’s linked to, the matrix. It’s all a bit forced and very predictable. Painfully ok at most
240 monkey man - brutal action film. An Indian guy will take on any job to get the revenge he wants. It starts traditionally and gets a little trippy and political by the end, but a great film and its more impressive that its a first time director. Close to being Indian john wick
241. Nomads - A doctor comes across a crazed man who then dies, she is then cursed with visions of what led up to his death while she is drawn to a place. Thriller with a supernatural vibe, i hate the structure of the film with the flashbacks. The french accents are bad. Not a fan
242. The last showgirl - drama about an aging idealistic vegas showgirl who is about to lose her job. It makes her look at her work and her relationships with friends and family, was it worth it? Everyone gives top performances, not a fan of the soft focus but i get it. Great
243. Harvest - anachronistic folk thriller as a rural Scottish village in an unspecified time struggles keep together when changes and strangers arrive. Looks great and there are some interesting things but this allegory for industrialisation & community didn’t capture me at all
244. Flow - animated adventure about a black cat trying to survive a cataclysmic flood & the other animals it encounters. I cant articulate but i dont like the animation in some shots in others its fine. What makes the film timeless & easy to connect to is there is zero dialogue. Great
245. Slotherhouse - comedy horror, typical slasher film set in a sorority but the killer is a sloth who can use the internet among other things. Its dumb, it knows it is and enjoys its ridiculous setting but i dont think the writing really makes full use of the idea. Just decent
246. Double down - Neil breens first film and his most pure and one of the best. As always Neil does everything in the film & plays the worlds best spy, he is so good he can cure a child’s brain cancer, other stuff happens. It’s more abstract & arty than the follow ups. Amazing strange fun bad film
It's not a good movie per se, but something about it made it interesting to watch. Works better if you are half asleep :)
Its dream like
Yeh it was odd, i liked the brosnan bits and then the woman was getting in the way. Its stylish and well shot thou, i can see why it got the director the gig on predator
