Robocop is bloody brilliant. Always had a bit of a block on it because it freaked me out as a kid. But the direction! The squibs, the glorious squibs! And it’s got two of the best from Twin Peaks in it as well!
Over the last couple days I’ve also watched Miss Hokusai, An, and Zoology. All great at what they do.
anyone else seen Zama, the new lucrecia martel thing? I thought it was really good. the guy next to me drank a beer and fell asleep and started snoring in the first 30 minutes.
Breaking In - Very silly. Features one of the worst performances I’ve seen in a very long time from Richard Cabral as “generic bandito bad guy”
Show Dogs - Not as good as it looks
Entebbe - Very surprised how much I enjoyed this given the very lukewarm reception. It was very functional in getting to the actual raid scene but the execution of the raid was stunning and elevated the scenes that led up to it. A lot of place setting that lives and dies by it’s pay off but it was well worth it. Worth a look which is not what I was expecting.
The Breadwinner - Yeah, this is very good but I didn’t fall for it as much as I should have done, the animation and the story-within-a-story kept me at arms length a bit. As with Persepolis (a trite but easy comparison to make) I would have preferred a live-action version…
There’s barely anything out in June by the look of it, Hereditary and the new film from the director of Winter’s Bone look to be about the only films of interest
