Despite the guy sitting next to me sleeping through the whole movie and snoring, Weapons was pretty wild! Solid 4/5, maybe even 4.5/5.

If youâre more precious about your first viewings than you should be, obviously High and Low is the all-timer and this one is relatively disposable by comparison and you should therefore see the former first, but this remake is decent. Iâm glad that Spike took the idea and made it different enough that itâs its own thing rather than just being a lesser telling of an identical story.
3/5

At its core, Weapons is about answering the question:
how many five year olds?
The answer:
less than 17

Weapons (2025)
An absolute masterpiece. No notes. Expert writing, directing, and acting. Scary, funny, and poignant. In the running with Sinners for my favorite film of the year so far.
I also love the metaphor of the movie because itâs so expertly done you can totally miss it but once you see it, it becomes a completely biting political diatribe that makes Michael Moore documentaries look like childâs play.
Grade: A+
Between this and Barbarian dude is laying the groundwork for an all time writer director career.

I think the metaphor is pretty hard to miss. Itâs almost as if there was a big glowing sign in the sky.

Yeah, that glowing sign was painfully ham-fisted. Didnât know they let Adam McKay go around ghost-directing individual moments in random horror movies.

I loved the way he did that scene. dont think it was ham fisted at all.

My favorite part of Weapons was when they establish people have front door cameras and they apparently are never used anywhere besides the houses where kids leave from, along with nobody ever being around at 2am in their suburb. First quarter of the movie was boring as fuck with everyone unlikeable as well. The whole âthe town covered this upâ schtick was hokey as hell too. They clearly had a âthis is a cool idea of kids disappearingâŚâ and hamfisted everything very poorly into it.
3/5 (I thought everything but the writing was very well done)

A lot of plot holes imo. Like
Do the parents poop? Do the kids poop? Who cleans up all the poop? How do the kids have energy to go apeshit after a monthlong diet of Andy Warholâs finest?

The Thin Red Line
Been a long time since I saw this one back in my Terrence Malick is god phase. After a very slow start, this war movie picks up steam and doesnât really let up until the thoughtful end.
The whole time, I kept going back and forth over whether TTRL is a better movie than Saving Private Ryan. Not more entertaining or historically significant. An objectively better movie. To my eye, Red Line is deeper while also featuring intense scenes of warfare against the Japanese. But is it a better movie?

Gotta say I donât mind how unlikeable they were. I thought
having Julia Garnerâs character in a patently unfair and sympathetic position while also having her be an objectively shitty person is my kind of blurry.

Iâll never understand why people care about âplot holesâ at all.
