[QUOTE=Mennonite;14785109]mother! (2017)
An allegory apparently. It's one of those movies you watch to see wtf is actually going on and then when you get to the end you still don't have a ****ing clue. I thought it was an ineffectual allegory about a struggling writer juggling a conflicting group of characters in an imaginary home. Actually it's an ineffectual allegory that "depicts the rape and torment of Mother Earth ... I (Jennifer Lawrence) represent Mother Earth; Javier, whose character is a poet, represents a form of God"[/QUOTE The 3rd act of that film is bat shit insane. I couldn't believe what I was watching tbh. Kinda liked it too lol |

Rented JoJo Rabbit from Redbox last night. I hadn't heard anything about it and I don't even remember when it was at the theaters. Then I saw Scarlett Johansson and the director/actor (Hitler) on a morning show and then the Academy Awards had it nominated for best picture.
It probably has one of the most unusual storylines someone could come up with. I got the impression it was a comedy, but it's more of a dramatedy. It's about a 10 year old that is in the Nazi youth corp and he is gun ho for Hitler. In fact Hitler is his imaginary friend who pops up now and then. Johansson is his mother, who is a Jew symphanizer and is raising the kid as a single parent. Sam Rockwell plays the kids Nazi instructor and provides most of the laughs due to the outrageous statements he and the others make, mostly about Jews. All the while Johansson is hiding a teenage Jewish girl in her attic, sort of like Anne Frank. The kid finds out and that's when the story really takes shape. There is a lot of drama, people being killed, a rabbit gets killed, you'll be somewhat shocked by it all. I really liked the ending, I was going to give it a 7, but the last 20 minutes I ended giving it an 8 on IMDB. Probably one of my favorite songs is Heroes by David Bowie, and the films ends with David Bowie singing Heroes in German. ![]() BTW, I finally saw Once Upon a Time..in Hollywood. Loved the film, the music, the sights, the clothes, everything, I was never bored. I think it's an age thing, I graduated from high school in 1968, so everything in the film seemed relavant to me. I really don't usually like all the drawn out dialogue in most of Tarantino films, but in this one, it was cool. I gave it a 10. |

I watched the Invisible Man today.
Wife leaves husband. Husband kills himself. Turns out husband ain't dead and has invented an invisibility cloak and terrorizes wife. I must have missed something because I thought this was horrible. I was shocked to see all the positive reviews (I think it's around 90% on RT). I understand all that privacy & technology is a big deal these days and women being silenced is really in vogue but the problems this movie has shoots the message in the foot. I started laughing during the last big fight. During the last third the cloak starts and stops "glitching" at just the right moments. There is a terrible sub plot dealing with her brother in law and the husband's estate. There is no reason given why this billionaire would marry this older ordinary woman. The cloak starts making sounds like Alien (but just towards the end). Apparently the cloak gives you super strength and the ability to be in very busy places and not have anybody walk into you. For some reason after a billionaire kills himself someone will come into his house to put sheets over all the furniture but doesn't bother taking the dead man's dog. There is no explanation for how the suicide was faked or how someone would explain the faked suicide after he's done terrorizing and decides to get back to his normal life or even why the guy needed to fake his death. I enjoyed Upgrade but Whannell screwed the pooch here. Of course - it appears I'm in the minority. |

I thought they did a good job of making the lead actress seem crazy and showing the effects of PTSD from an abusive relationship.
.. but, yeah. You can't really think too much about it. I was screaming inside every time she was saying she couldn't talk because he was in the room with them. Just ****ing run around the room with your arms outstretched until you snag him. |

I enjoyed this quite a bit. The CGI bothered me some at the beginning (when Buck was first around other dogs I half expected them to start talking) but after awhile I got used to it. The kids loved it.

That reminds me of so many great Navy war movies, Richard Widmark, Kirk Douglas, Tom Hanks will carry the banner now. When I first got my driver's license and the first movie I could drive myself to was "In Harm's Way", and I still remember that day. For those in Pinellas County, it was the State Theater in downtown St. Petersburg. Before it was a concert hall, they showed movies there. This is definitely on my radar to see, after 1917 I'm ready for another war movie.
