Movies Watched, Jan.2023

You People (2023)

Great cringey ride. Seymour Dreyfus taps her horrifying self, and the leads are sweet.

The Fablemans (2023)

Very melodramatic tone. I enjoyed the Cinematography, felt and looked different than most contemporary movies. Dano and Williams had such good performances.

Love on Delivery (1994)

A classic Stephen Chow joint. Absurd, increasing stakes and become more surreal as the film goes on. A cute reminder that we haven’t really seen movies with similar comedic sensibilities in a while.

M3GAN (2023)

Quick, funny and the rightful heir to the insane murder doll genre. Smarter than the last Chucky remake. Scary and absurd. M3GAN’s dialogue is sharp. Also a secret queer story 🥲

Turn Every Page – The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb (2023)

Learned a lot and was very pleasant and funny. Everyone had daddy issues.

Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3 (1974)

Funny and campy, the race jokes feel like it didn’t pay off. Very dated and uncomfortable. Glad I’ve finally seen this version.

The Glass Onion (2022)

Great romp with a throwback to classical structure. Not feeling the ending, though.

The Menu (2022)

Great acting but the second half is kind of a let down. The premise was exciting but I think it got in its on way. It was less than what I desired, but probably more than I deserved.
