![]() ![]() This film is an incredibly fun and refreshing new take of one of horror’s most established tropes, told through the context of a pregnant woman and her full time nurse. Rather than giving away half the plot, I focused on what makes the films unique or special. Not an exhaustive list by any means, but here are a number of hidden gems that are worth checking out. But for me, something about it just works so perfectly. Guy Ritchie's ROCKNROLLA was a really fun time! It's your typical Guy Ritchie film with British gangsters, a killer soundtrack, and a great cast. But it's been added to the criterion channel! BEAUTIFULLY shot (no pun intended!) I watched it on Amazon Prime, although I don't know if it's gone. The Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith is a 1978 Australian movie about an aboriginal dude from the late 1800's whose constant battles with racism push him over the edge. I'd love to see Regina Hall in more roless like that one. I watched it after hearing the people on the letterboxd podcast gush over it. Support the Girls by mublecore king Andrew Bujalski was AWESOME! It has a feminist streak in it, but it doesn't hit you over the head with it. I got some good laughs out of it and it apparently was one of Kubrick's favorites (he probably loved some of the Freudian symbolism). Saw it on HBOMAXĬlosely Observed Trains is a dry Eastern European comedy from 1966 I believe? It's on the Criterion Channel. In a way, it's a precursor to Veep, but much more subtle. One of the best political satires I've ever watched. ![]() The Candidate from 1972 starring Robert Redford. I feel like lots of people roll their eyes when it comes to movies about racism, but I found it to be rather nuanced and intimate. Nothing But a Man from 1964 is a film that definitely deserves more attention. If anyone is brave enough to take my word for it and ends up watching this let me know what you think, you don't need to watch any of the other Universal Soldier movies. The plot is very linear and segmented as well which adds to that feeling. It's weird and psychedelic (think Mandy or Valhalla Rising) and super brutal, does some really cool stuff with POV camera work and lots of racking shots and behind the shoulder filming and to give it a very videogame-esque feeling. Actually legit one of the best action movies I've ever seen, action scenes are pretty much on par with something like The Raid. ![]() 8 million dollar budget, straight to DVD, totally bombed. That's right, number four in the Universal Solider film series that started in 1992, with your favorite aging action stars from the 80's. Literally no one will ever believe me when I tell them, but the few times some other film buff have actually seen it they've all been in agreement, ok. I have a few but one in particular I like to bring up.
