Looks fun. Is this part of a franchise where I have to know things to get the movie?
Murakami! At his best truly a genius, sometimes just weird. Definitely watching this one.
Anyone seen cold comfort farm? Had it in my movie backlog, havenāt heard anything about it except for what the internet tells me.

The Unhealer is not a good movie.
I repeat: The Unhealer is NOT a good movie.
Itās a GREAT movie.
A bullied teenager gains the means to fight back when a botched faith healing bestows supernatural, shamanistic powers upon him. When his lifelong tormentors pull a prank that causes the death of someone he loves, the teen uses his newfound abilities for revenge and goes on a bloody rampage to settle the score.
This dark horror tale features performances from genre favorites Adam Beach, Branscombe Richmond, Natasha Henstridge, and Lance Henriksen. āAny fan of classic Stephen King should definitely check out The Unhealerā (Joanna K. Neilson, Horror DNA)ā¦ it unfolds with fun surprises and gore ālike one of those shiny mid-career Wes Craven moviesā (Dark Eyes of London).
Perfect for fans of Chronicle (and the opening setup in the Power Rangers movie) who wish they had instead gotten a fully fledged B movie. Enter the movie with those script level expectations and thereās no way you wonāt be entertained for 90 minutes.

The problem with his thinking is that a lot of things are done today in āindie cinemaā that werenāt done then or couldnāt be done then either. I did work for one of his movies a few years ago and was really disappointed with how he shot it. His old stuff wasnāt like that, and I felt his shooting style that had a really video/almost play type look really took away from the movie. With his clout, he could have done something more impactful visually, but I donāt know why people choose to spend money the way they do in movies these days.
Numerous young filmmakers have access to making movies that would have never been made then, and get distribution, because there are so many places to distribute, which absolutely was not the case then. They might not make any money or get to cult classic status like his movies did, but stuff from that pipeline does make it there if itās good enough, and these are all potentially launching pads to the next thing. Itās just harder to find.
Thereās also a new trend Iām noticing where A-list type actors are beginning to appear in small but impactful roles in these types of movies. Those couldnāt be gotten not that long ago, and now thereās apparently a formula rather than giant paydays that gets them interested in doing these types of movies. Itās all and always will be a double-edged sword.

Highlander has finally found a reboot director that has me very excited: Chad Stahelski.
Iām giddy thinking about even the worst episode of Highlander being shot like a John Wick movie 
Bottoms
8.5/10
Not as good as Superbad but itās what you would get if you made Superbad about lesbian high schoolers and mixed in a heavy dose of The Simpsons surrealism.
I enjoyed it all the way though

Man oh man what a stupid character this was.
I thought Rocky Balboa was okay but not much more. I was really into it for the first act, watching through the franchise obviously gets you invested in Rocky and Adrianās relationship, and watching him work through his pain over her dying pretty young was compellingā¦but the rest? Ehhh. Tough to get into the boxing in this one. I put it about on par with Rocky II, where the non-boxing story was weak but the boxing part was great. Just flipping the strengths and weaknesses here.
I > III > IV > VI = II > V
I saw Creed once and really enjoyed it, Iāll be watching it again before long (especially if it makes its way back onto a streaming service). Might enjoy it even more on second go now that Iāve spent more time with the Rocky/Apollo relationship.

The American President.
Sure it is not how the world is but it sure as hell is how I wish it was. Underrated Sorkin.
I love it unabashedly.

Doomed !: The Untold Story of Roger Cormanās The Fantastic Four
Aw wow, this movie had so much more heart than I expected; hit me right in the feels. Visionary filmmaker Roger Corman made a Fantastic Four movie that to this day has never truly seen the light of day, this is the account of the people involved. Is there a Stan Lee cameo? Maybe!
