Life (Max? can't remember): I've seen this before, but watched it again. Great cast (Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ryan Reynolds), bottle set on a space station. I think this movie's really good. The special effects of the lifeform and weightlessness (not the vomit comet from what I read) were excellent. The story was good, I liked the whole thing... including the ending.

I thought it was entertaining enough but it mostly just made me want to re-watch Alien for the 87th time. Kinda like Underwater which I recently watched.

Related: Last week, my son thought he hadn't seen Aliens, so we started it. 5 minutes in, he realized he had seen it before, but we watched it anyway. Still great.

I watched Underwater today while folding laundry. I don't think I've ever seen a movie with Kristen Stewart before. It wasn't a bad movie, but I thought the monster effects were a little too blurry. The scene with the flare gun was pretty cool, though. This was essentially Alien with the Cloverfield monster underwater... I'm not mad I watched it.
You can skip the remake of The Wages of Fear on Netflix. Watch the 1953 original of the 1977 remake by William Friedkin instead.
The new one keeps the central premise of trucks transporting nitroglycerine but changes just about everything else. The desperate, doomed anti-heroes of the earlier version get updated to a conventional modern action movie crew. The new story is flabby and dumb and the action scenes pale in comparison to movies made 71 and 47 years ago.
Wow! I'm in tears. This is what is meant by "art".
The very definition of "sublime". As in:
a : lofty, grand, or exalted in thought, expression, or manner
b : of outstanding spiritual, intellectual, or moral worth
c : tending to inspire awe usually because of elevated quality (as of beauty, nobility, or grandeur) or transcendent excellence
Celine Song deliberately had the two main characters walk from right to left at the very end of the movie. For her, a timeline is always represented as going from left to right, so when they're walking together, they're going into the past. When Hae Sung gets into the taxi, he goes into the past even further, and then as Nora walks back home left to right, she's going back to the future.
But then... Hae Sung is shown in the taxi moving left to right - i.e. towards a new future.

I'm a sucker for bittersweet endings. The end of Past Lives reminded me of the endings to two of my favorites - Cast Away and Vanilla Sky. Those too deal with regret and moving on.
Cast Away (2000)
Chuck Noland: I should've never gotten on that plane. I should've never gotten out of the car.

I was such a huge fan of Fallen Angels that I couldn't wait to see Mood for Love. So beautiful... But I honestly don't remember a single thing about it other than it was pretty.

I can't really even describe it. It borders on the style of Dario Argento with a dash of David Cronenberg gross out. That could certainly be someone's cup of tea. It's just not mine.

Godzilla X Kong - Saw this last night. I love monster movies. But this one - eh. It definitely had some good parts. But just not enough. The whole point of a monster movie is to watch Kong or Godzilla smash some stuff. It's great fun. But here, an hour of the movie is spent playing a combination of Journey to the Center of the Earth mixed with Planet of the Apes. It really took away from SMASH.
Having said that, the few times where Kong or Godzilla were on the surface of the earth and battling - that was very good.
One other complaint - look, Godzilla is better than Kong. He just is. And this movie really focused on Kong. Godzilla was almost a side character.
So I think that's enough Godzilla and Kong in the same movie. Let's go back to them having separate ones. And being on the surface of the earth. SMASHING.

I found an explainer... I guess I get it now, but I don't think there was enough in the movie to tell us what happened unless we happen to get obsessed with the movie and watch it many more times to piece it together.

I figured out why on 2nd viewijg- I went into the 1st with expectations of sci Fi occupation movie with action. Action was definitely the wrong expectation, and made the slow pacing and tone a bit of a slog. 2nd viewing went in without, and it's amazing.

Attempted the 2nd part of Rebel Moon (The Scargiver). Wow. Felt like a lesson on how not to make a movie. Dramatic slow mo shots of people... farming. A scene where the main characters sit around a table and each takes a turn talking about their upgringing so we get like half a dozen flashbacks in a row. Blatant exposition at every turn. Turned it off after about 50 mins. C'mon Zach, you're going backwards.

I enjoy several of his earlier movies (Dawn of the Dead, 300, even Watchmen which got middling reviews), but yeah, I think these Rebel Moon things are a significant regression, even from his DC films which aren't great. Supposedly there are extended versions of both Rebel Moons coming out at some point. I feel like they should threaten to show these extended version to Hamas/Iran, Russia and China and we may immediately have world peace.

This is true but on 300 and Dawn of the Dead he didn’t have full creative control. 300 he had a lot of freedom but Miller was the creative mind and heavily involved. His first film that he had full creative control was Sucker Punch.
Jason Bourne (Hulu): second time seeing this. I think it’s really good. Vincent Cassel is great as the Asset, basically the Terminator just mowing through people all movie. The intra-agency battle seemed plausible (Tommy Lee Jones couldn’t have been more perfect for the role). The surveillance stuff was unnerving as always in these movies. I think this got mediocre reviews at the time, but I was happy with it.
