01: The Reflecting Skin (1990) 4.5
02: Al-Mummia (1969) 3.5
03:...

Jojo Rabbit (2019)

Even after the second viewing, I still don't know how exactly I feel about Jojo Rabbit. There's definitely more good than bad, but is it enough to raise it above OK. At the...

Re: 23rd MoFo Hall of Fame

Just rewatched Jojo Rabbit, so I'm done with viewing the films. I'll write the review in a few days, and hopefully, by then I've managed to finalize the order of my ballot too.

Gangs of New York (2002)

I remember this felt lackluster when I saw it in the movies, and my rewatch attempt a few months ago was never finished (and don't get me wrong, I've plowed through a ton...

Apparently, there's a proper restoration but it's never been published on a disc. It's been shown at some festivals, though. It's made several years ago, I'd remember, so it's weird that Criterion or...

晩春 (1949)
aka Late Spring

This is the second Ozu I've seen, and it's quite similar to A Hen in the Wind. If anything, it's even less eventful of the two films, and I already called the other one...

The Fisher King (1991)

So, Gilliam has directed a romantic comedy (or dramedy, I guess) too? It reminds me of films like Moonstruck, Amélie and The Shape of Water. Unfortunately, I'm lukewarm at...

Re: 23rd MoFo Hall of Fame

I now have two reviews on the way (seems like they're taking a detour) as I just watched Late Spring. Sadly, it didn't surprise me but was exactly what I expected from Ozu, and that isn't my thing.

Re: 23rd MoFo Hall of Fame

My review of The Fisher King is coming soon to HoF thread near you! As a short teaser, I'll just say that I'm not a fan of romcoms even when they're done in a Gilliam style.

The Great Mouse Detective (1986)

Ah, the 80s when even Disney animations had drinking, smoking, sexual innuendo and deaths. I miss those decadent times.

Yellow Submarine (1968)

I don't know if Yellow Submarine is aimed solely at Beatles fans or was there enough children doing LSD in the 60s to consider as a target audience. Unfortunately, I don't...

Re: 23rd MoFo Hall of Fame

I just had an acid trip watched Yellow Submarine. As usual, full review in a few days but let's say that I liked some of the songs :shifty:

Schindler's List (1993)

Spielberg's depiction of the holocaust is surprisingly uneven and too manipulative. It's like he didn't trust his viewers to have correct feelings and went overboard with...

Re: 23rd MoFo Hall of Fame

It's taken a while to get my Schindler's List review done. I've had other things on my mind the last few days (mainly related to the water damage to my bedroom caused by someone falling to drunken...

Yeah, cause turning a guy you think raped your daughter into a replicate/replacement of your dead wife is exactly how I'd imagine every plastic surgeon would exact their revenge.

La piel que habito (2011)
aka The Skin I Live In

I'm not sure, but this may be the first Almodóvar movie I've seen. I've always assumed that his films wouldn't interest me. All I knew about this...

Re: 23rd MoFo Hall of Fame

I watched The Skin I Live In today. It was a bit different than I expected (thought it was more like Eyes without a Face). Not bad but definitely not good either. Review in a few days.

‘المومياء’ / Al-Mummia (1969)

I have a thing for films that take themselves (too) seriously. Brooding and pompous The Mummy fits that bill better...

I watched Al-Mummia today. As usual, full review in a few days but for the most part, I liked its brooding and pompous tone.

Yeah, doesn't work. Says the video is taken down due to copyright infringement. Guess I'll live with the YT version then (unless I find it somewhere else). Thanks anyway.

I'd appreciate the links. I checked the YT version and while it's watchable, the better would be, obviously, better :D

Stand by Me (1986)

If you'd remove the voice-over telling how the kids split after the summer, Stand by Me could easily be a fanfiction about the Losers Club before Beverly joined them. It's like...
