They Live 1988

★★★★ Watched by Daniel Mandich 19 Jan 2022

They just don’t make movies like they used to. And by used to, I mean including a ridiculous 5-minute long fight scene that just keeps on going and going despite it constantly seeming like it’s nearly over.
Don't Look Up 2021

★★½ Watched by Daniel Mandich 18 Jan 2022

A thoroughly depressing watch. I guess that’s the point? I dunno, I don’t care. The movie’s probably right in the fact that Elon Musk will probably work with the President to let the world die to make a few extra million bucks, but like, I knew that long before watching. So, great. We’re all gonna die. Ain’t that swell.
Timothee Chalamet is above and beyond the best part.

Bohemian Rhapsody 2018

★★★★½ Watched by Daniel Mandich 28 Oct 2018

I love Queen, so fucking much and because of that, it’s impossible not to love this.
Okay, let’s get the negatives out of the way first. It’s fairly generic as far as music biopics go and most of the filmmaking is fairly safe and by the numbers. It’s also a bit odd pace-wise earlier on. Other than that, I really cannot complain at all.
Now, for the good shit. Rami Malek is fucking phenomenal, he carries the movie from start…
The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special 2020

★★★ Watched by Daniel Mandich 18 Nov 2020

Not only is it genuinely a better movie than Episode IX, but it’s infinitely a better finale and tribute to the series too.
