The Bling Ring (2013)
entertaining as hell
Wow, the opening song is good and the movie is much of entertainment's dark side and commentary on kids mixed up in it. Not too deep I guess. I like this movie, its better than the films that sort of don't have real feeling like that. Take an action film with lots of destruction there's no real cost or casualty sadness afterwards just explosions and violence. With this movie it explores the why and what after happens and that's interesting. It relies heavily on material things so if you have no material side you may not like this movie or find it entertaining at all, but up to you. Also without spoilers I never got into harry potter but Emma Watson's pretty good in this, funny and cute.
Mind Body Spirit (2023)
cool film, small scale but big ideas
I think its an effective film, if you like horror with cultism or sort of devil summoning. It works overall with some interesting editing and sound. The main actress is really effective with good energy and a nice voice. She has her video blog and horrific things happen around her, as you read. It's got a nice feeling of interesting with out worrying too much about the story which is kind of really simple. Just a blog devoted to devil summoning and random demon events, but I think its sound and intermittent editing of scenes make it move really well. It could be too comical for some, maybe she makes too many small jokes and is goofy or silly but if you can handle that bit of fun you can enjoy the slow roll of horror scenes that follow. I hope so they are worth it!
The Girl in the Trunk (2024)
First viewing was really good.
I saw this and liked it, the score seemed low in other reviews like 3 and 4, this didn't seem like a bad movie really at all with good plot devices maybe with small twists and leads to where its going. Not an expert but I though first viewing was cool and I'll watch it again. I guess sort of low budget but it works well. The story is simple but moves pretty well along, if you like suspense it's good at keeping a simple theme going well. I started watching some low budget or independent films and they can be tough to watch with poor sound or just off putting acting and scenes. But this is a good watch I think compared to other's and in its own right.
Madelines (2022)
Definitely feels like pacing is off but it generates good intrigue...
I'm no film major, aside from my own film I made, but this film is interesting. Time travel and the multiverse is in this year, thanks to Rick and Morty (I think). So this film is good in my opinion, though pretty complex. Perhaps too complex for anyone, the base ideas are good, the characters are likable and flawed in ways... so if you like sci-fi and time travel you might like it.
If you need explanations for everything you might not like it... it seems to have no thread explanations. By that I mean there are a lot of people that who have written that it's poor in effects, and poor in concluding the ideas it gives... they are probably right... but I still like thinking about the movie and enjoying what it is.
In my own film I have myself in it, perhaps that's a good think and the director should be in it. Like if he's leaving things, according to other's, badly done like the effects and writing... perhaps he should be in the film to explain in some way. In my film I actually am killed by having my buttocks crushed, then I have my friend thrown down the stairs... not sure what he could do in the film to make people happy or if it's needed, but it is always fun to see the director in a movie. It sort of breaks the rules of film for some reason... as if none of the other actors/actresses in the film could have written or given direction suggestions at all... kinda of odd... it must be the way it's done usually... self aware to a degree...
Is this film self aware to some odd degree that makes people give it a low score, or like this review is it too self serving? Like he just really likes time travel ideas and well if you all don't like it... keep thinking about it perhaps you'll make a better conclusion. Not sure, it's kind of forward thinking to have my friends portrayed as such good method actor's, perhaps their fatal flaw (the creatives behind it) is that time travel isn't revealed as real and our imaginations can't ever piece together any film about time travel... hopefully you all still like Back to the Future with that notion, but whatever...
Yummy (2019)
gratuitious in odd ways
I overall like this film but I might not recommend it to everyone. It has elements of horror and perversion that are good and humorous, however it is very cringe worthy. There is some emphasis on sexual gratuity that I found uncomfortable, but I think it's the norm today to have edginess that can't be described as anything other than super relatable to the cultural norm of the time..
It reminds me of my own film, I made this small indy film with my friends where I type to the netherworld and have my friend possessed. He goes on to kill me by crushing my buttocks, and throws my friend down the the stairs.
But you should check it out if you think you might be into that sort of thing.
The Nanny's Night (2021)
Horror with a comic edge
It might be a bit much to give this an 8, but I like the gore and the comic edges of it, plus I keep watching it so it's more than a 7 in my book. It has a nice independent feel to it, but it's not so poorly made that it feels cheap. It's worth a watch.
Like I said this film is interesting for a lot of reasons, it's similar to my own film where I use my friends as actors and channel demons into my own personal friend to kill my other friends. I really like how I had my actors do their own stunts, like Jackie Chan, not sure if they do in Nanny's Night. I also like the gore in Nanny's Night, it parallels how I did it quite well, I had one friend crush me from the buttocks, and then he threw my other friend down the stairs... now as professional stunt people we had a lot of fun. I hope they did too thanks to the way the independent films can be criticized, not sure this one' overall rating since it has so few review's.
