'One Battle After Another'... blimey, this film is absolutely superb. Nearly three hours long and barely a second wasted, the performances are brilliant throughout (Sean Penn gets the 'man of the match' award though), the storyline is hugely engaging, it's gripping throughout, it's funny when it needs to be and shocking / violent also, damn, I really can't recommend this one highly enough. There's been some damn good movies this year but I think this one may top them all.  Trailer below...

... but at what point does it stop being CPR and start being like trying to reanimate a corpse?

The last movies i saw that i found good, great or watchable, at least not a waste of time were:

Warfare
This one struck me really deep. It almost has no story, there is no score or music for dramatisation, but it kept me interested and thrilled for the whole time.

Daaaaaali!
A Quentin Dupieux movie and i love all of them! It's about Salvatore Dali and it's beautifully filmed, grotesque, strange, funny.

The Phoenician Scheme
Well, this is a Wes Anderson movie and you get a Wes Anderson Movie. I enjoy Wes Andrson movies
ever tried. ever failed. no matter.
try again. fail again. fail better.

WC and WC2 and both great movies, they're kind of like the first Mad Max movies... the first one a gritty and dirty low budget thriller, the second a bigger budgeted action movie that also quite funny in places...

... but did you know that there was a Wolf Creek TV show, two series, both really rather good...  ?

I had a fun time with 'Sisu - Road To Revenge' this afternoon.  I loved the first one, a movie devoid of intricate storylines or character development, just absolute and beautifully choreographed gory carnage.

Now this one is very, very different.  The first one had our main character (a man so hardened and battle-worn that he makes Chuck Norris look like Timothée Chalamet) running foul of a bunch of Nazi soldiers in the 1940s and slaughtering them relentlessly.  This one has that character running foul of a bunch of RUSSIAN soldiers in the 1940's and slaughtering them relentlessly.  I feel this is a very important distinction.   ;)

If you liked the first one then you'll like this one, it's about as realistic / believable as a Roadrunner cartoon and has moments that would have the makers of the 'Fast And Furious' movies going 'oh come on, that's just RIDICULOUS!'... I think you already know if you'll like this one or not.  Here's the trailer, it gives you a taste of what you're in for with the 'Sisu' movies... not for the squeamish.
