Best film: Riverside Mukolitta
Worst Film: Time Masters (lovely, art, total snoozefest)
MMOTM: a bad rock band transforms into a bunch of rubber suited monsters from Japanese folklore and tries to fight a vengeful undead samurai ghost (Monster Heaven)
had a very dad-coded january
best: blow out
worst: black adam
movie moment of the month: the end of blow out. knew there was some sort of twist but still got blindsided by it, great stuff
Some absolute shite in amongst that lot. Some proper tripe.
busy month, rewatch heavy
Watched: 26 (10 new, 16 rewatches)
Best: Perfect Blue, Nickel Boys
Best rewatch: Shallow Grave, went from pretty decent to one of the best Scottish films ever
Worst: Prometheus, my least fav Alien film so far. Some very bad Star Wars stuff in there too, but I was expecting that
MMOTM: just anytime Ghost Dog stuck on a banging rap CD
Best: The Emperorโs Naked Army Marches On
Worst: Babygirl
MMOTM: The fight with a living statue in Castration Movie
Yeah Nosferatu was a shitter
Up and down.
Best: Conclave
Worst: tie between Hundreds of Beavers and Marcel the shoeless prick. Hated both with a fiery passion. Didnโt finish either.
MMOTM: Conclave spoiler: the twist at the end or, A Real Pain spoiler, the bit where the tour guide gives an impassioned speech to Keiran Culkin and is then like โbyeโ to yer man
