I'm torn about this rating. It's great. But then it sometimes is too overtly emotional, a thing the previous movies kind of manage to avoid by being, on occasion, real cold. With the wacky sidekick and a cute kid thrown in, War feels like the most traditional of this prequel-trilogy.
I mean, it's still the best Hollywood-trilogy since Lord of the Rings, but I don't know if that says more about the quality of it or the lack of quality in it's competitors. This is an interesting entry that I'm sure will grow on me if I ever re-watch it, much like the prior two did. It has some real heavy subtext about us as viewers caring for apes when humans are dying and everything about Woody Harrelson is grim AF. 5 months, 3 weeks ago

The story turns fucking terrible at the fifth episode and it's never as scary as it wants to be since it heavily relies on monster costumes that are shown way too much right off the bat and that aren't exactly winning designs to begin with. 5 months, 3 weeks ago

There is so much going for Tragedy Girls but they waste it all on this bottom-of-the-barrel, stock-ass script with nothing unique or special about it. 5 months, 3 weeks ago
Brian Taylor finally made a movie I really, deeply enjoyed. A terrific title sequence followed by an even more terrific movie. The screenplay and tone are feverish throughout, enough so to ensure that Taylor's trademark ADD-stylings fit every moment of it to a T. Cage and Blair are at their modern finest and deliver the occasionally surprisingly harrowing dramatic scenes about midlife crisis, failure of reconciliation with the futile and limited nature of our lifespans and societal roles with a really surprising grace. And when they become crazy murderers, it's even better! 5 months, 4 weeks ago
This was not a particularly fun comedy, but Taye Diggs is a star and if this was just him being charismatic as hell on screen, doing sexy dance numbers, it'd be a five star movie. Instead it's that only like... 5% of the time. 6 months ago

For how derivative this movie is it still is worth commending for the amount of energy it imbues in the well-worn subject. Makes up for a lot of the less-than-great use of a high concept. 6 months ago

Jigsaw does some interesting things in the context of being a sequel to the seventh outing in a franchise that was ran so thoroughly to the ground they stopped making them despite them still making money. The characters behave in a far more rational way than anyone ever does in these movies, and it doesn't rely as heavily on it's twist as every other movie in the franchise save for VI. It also strips away any discernible character the series had left – the moral quandaries are decidedly less about morals and more about being brave, the gore lacks any punch by being very outlandish and CGI-heavy, and the editing is so crystal clear it leaves nothing to the imagination. 6 months ago
A Finnish short about an actor who struggles to decide whether he wants to flaunt his own massive johnson in front of the camera for a nude scene or use a very small stunt cock. The lady crew just laughs at both dicks. The actors are all great and sell the poor material to their best abilities. This is mostly notable for being shown 17 minutes after Finland's most popular evening kids show. Those kids sure got to see a big fake penis all up in their TVs if they stuck around for this. Hope their parents can read the damn program information in the future since this is about nothing but dicks and if you don't want your kids to see dicks you probably don't want to let them watch a short movie about them either. 6 months, 2 weeks ago
