BlacKkKlansman (2018)
Spoke the lee the main man
Spike Lee really comes through has director, really showing both sides of hate, the ending shows how racism is never ending. John David Washington delivers an effective performance has Ron Stallworth, Adam Driver is also good. I also like the late 70's look to the film. Topher Grace delivers a likable and haunting performance has David Duke. Also has great tension and suspense. A well made undercover story, I know they where made up moments, I come to expect that in a lot movies based on true stories, but still a great film.
The Shining (1980)
Top of the line
This is constantly been among my favorite horror films of all time. Even before I sat down to rewatch this film (for the umpteenth time) I knew that I'd give this movie five stars. It's chilling, disturbing, disquieting, and altogether unsettling from start to finish- and by the time the climax comes, you're nerves are begging you for a break. This is a film that even thirty-five years after it's release, still has a way of making me hold my breath in certain scenes. Nicholson is absolutely terrifying, and the way that Kubrick has created the world of the Overlook Hotel makes the place a labyrinth of horrors where surprises wait around every corner.
The Thing (1982)
Cool
The thing of 1982 is a marvel at the sci-fi/horror front. I grew up with this thing and used it to scare the guts out of my younger buddies at the videogettogethers we had from time to time. Its an antarctic based story, where strange things starts to happen at a norwegian science station. The americans at the neighbour site fly over to see whats going on, and are gobsmacked to see what has happened to the camp, all ruins,and noone alive. Flying back telling the story,strange things starts to happen there too. And well its the thing......
Vengeance Is Mine (2021)
A 3 Dimensional Thriller
An Indie Film isn't just a movie which is thought of as a limited budgeted venture without big shot studios at its helm. When one hears the term "Indie" one is instantaneously thrown off course. Watch Vengeance is Mine and it will forever change the way one perceives Indies.
Let me throw a few titles at you. THE DESCENT, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, MEMENTO, THE PASSION OF THE Christ, MEAN STREETS & THE TERMINATOR are some of the most stringent budgeted productions seen in the past decades. Vengeance is Mine does not have an A-List director to its name as some of the titles mentioned above. Instead The director can be considered an amateur with comparison to the Coens, Scorsese or Cameron. But still Vengeance is Mine is one of the most absurdly intense and realistic movies of 2021. Slow off the blocks Vengeance is Mine progresses at a slow pace focusing on the mysterious growth of the troubled Harry who works in a ancient church in London who embarks on a journey of revenge when he is totally ill wiped for it. What happens to a man who holds another man at gunpoint for the first time? He hesitates, he doubts himself, he is afraid of the consequences and most of all he himself is afraid of the situation. This all what Vengeance is Mine is at its core eventually? I for one think so. Vengeance is Mine gripped me from the very start. Its sparse in dialogue which works positively since this leaves plenty of room for the audience thoughts and musings. Each nook is fine tuned to extract the scenes maximum potential within his strained budget. When Harry bleeds that's all that happens; he bleeds. When Harry cries that's all that happens; Harry cries. Unlike Colin Farrell or Tom Hanks in PHONEBOOTH or CASTAWAY there isn't much taking place in the backdrop. There is no police squad, there is no island. Instead its always back seat of a car, a broken chair, a wall or a field. Vengeance is Mine is a thriller that lets of its steam cautiously but certainly. It's like walking the plank.
