PRAISE : Sometimes i think actors take on projects just to work together again and i dont have a problem with that especially if the chemistry is there and it definitely is in this movie which stars George Clooney and Brad Pitt as fixers who are called in to take care of a problem in the form of a nameless young man (Austin Abrams) I liked that both fixers seemingly had control of the situation with a large amount of arrogance.
The performances of the two leads definitely uplift the film and the fact that they have worked together for awhile in the Ocean's movies shines through in some good moments in the movie. I really have to praise Abrams because filming a certain scene must have been really hard to film,also praise to the stunt man. I thought the pile on of complications for the two fixers were good. I did enjoy the fun moments the movie provides.


PROBLEM : The plot adds a lot of things ive seen in so many movies like this with two characters that are rivals in almost everything making the narrative really feel been there done that. I feel the movie should have had a lot more bite to it more edge to get me more involved. Having said that it was a good idea that this went straight to Apple TV


Scale of 1 to 10 a 6½



Megalopolis






PRAISE: Following its premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival the handful of quick quotes about the movie from handful of critics made me think I was going to walk into an undefineable mess of a movie. Fortunately I was able to follow several story threads in this movie about Cesar, inventor of a living building substance called Megalon going head to head with Mayor Franklyn Cicero who wants things to remain the same in New Rome. None of the performances in the film were bad ,I actually think every actor gave it their all including: Talia Shire, Laurence Fishburne, Jon Voight,Giancarlo Esposito,and Kathryn Hunter. Writer/director Francis Ford Coppola infuses a lot of himself into the character Cesar Catilina (Adam Driver) so passionate about what he wants the same way Coppola put his own money into this film because he felt it must be made. As Cicero’s daughter Julia, Nathalie Emmanuel turns in a beautiful and loving performance. As Cesar’s cousin Clodio, Shia LaBeouf fit right in with how quirky and odd his character is. I even laughed at a few darkly humorous lines he had.Speaking of quirky as Wow Platinum Aubrey Plaza was pretty funny to watch her go through the motions to attempt to get what she wants in life was entertaining. Coppola is definitely keeping up with the pulse of the world as he places certain scenes filled with modern politics, battles over real estate and what's to be done with it and if it will benefit the people. Some things were definitely on the nose which i didn't have a problem with because i found it entertaining. One scene really caught me off guard and it was so quietly directed it added to how very involving it was. I did like most of the visuals.

PROBLEMS: As the movie dived more into its 2 hour 12 minute running time. I started seeing odd ball, drawn out moments as just padding. I even tried to reason with why certain things were happening in the movie. Did I really need to see this or that?
Im not sure why some characters were in the movie because they barely had lines and vanished quickly. There's some awful bad green screen scenes in the movie. In the end the movie just feels like it was trying to be to many things. Shakespearian,artistic, futuristic and political and it just collapses under the weight of it all.

Beverly Hills Cop III
1994

4/10

I watched this last night on the road on Paramount+.

I never saw it in theaters and I only watched it once, probably around 1995/1996 on HBO. That was back in the day when HBO had exclusive rights to broadcast new films on its service before anyone else.

Not much to say about this film. It plays out pretty much identical as the first two with suspense and action. Only two characters from the first two films debut in this one and that is Axel’s boss and Judge Reinhold’s character.

One thing that is noticeable is Eddie Murphy aged a lot from the time the last film debuted. He is heavier in the face and his receding hairline is noticeable. Eddie also doesn’t do his trademark loud mouth routine like he did in the proior films and others before this one.

The newest one is currently on Netflix, I will get too it…..whenever. Not expecting much and after watching these last 3, I pretty much got a idea how it plays out without watching it.

Synopsis

When his boss is killed, Detroit cop Alex Foley (Eddie Murphy) finds evidence that the murderer had ties to a California amusement park called Wonder World. Returning to Beverly Hills once more, Foley reunites with Detective Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) to solve the case. Along with Billy's new partner, Jon Flint (Héctor Elizondo), they discover that the security force of Wonder World is actually part of a counterfeit money operation headed by park manager Orrin Sanderson (John Saxon).

I went to the festival back around 2007 or 2008.

Got a festival pass as a birthday gift earlier in the year.

The bulk of the movies were at a former multiplex downtown which is no longer around. The weather was iffy and rainy (September), so I didn't mind being inside. They also let you bring food from home, so it was nice to load up on snacks before leaving the house. You'd think it would be a mess with a bunch of noisy eaters, but fortunately there were so many movie buffs there it was really quiet, lol. You just had to plan out your schedule correctly, as some of the movies would overlap with start / end times, so if you weren't feeling something it was probably a good idea to quietly exit and go see something else. I made sure to see as many movies guaranteeing T&A, like a true BGOL movie connoisseur.

The Substance





PRAISE: A relative, an associate, a celebrity and people on the show Botched I've seen them all go to through experiences of cosmetic, body altering surgeries. Some have really taking it to the extreme. This movie takes it to an extreme and then some. Theres superstar Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) who let's what someone says about her looks eat away at her confidence. So she decides to go with the Substance that seemingly offers youth again. But of course it comes at a price and I'm talking about more than money. High praise to Moore and Margaret Qualley as Sue for completely and I mean COMPLETELY turning over their acting skills and bodies to the movie. As a studio executive Harvey, Dennis Quaid turns in a swarmy and chauvinistic performance. The close up shots show the internal unattractiveness of a character. I enjoyed Writer and Director: Coralie Fargeat's
playing with the guidelines and rules of the Substance but also that she presents a story with clear and strong messages about when compliments aren't enough, self obsession can push people out of your life that actually may care about you and like you the way you are. What are the true benefits of having cosmetic procedures? Are there really any at all? I definitely kept asking that of Elisabeths character once the movie reached a certain point. Even getting involved with something sketchy out of complete desperation because all logic and reason has vanished.I couldn't help but think of the work of David Cronenberg and the book The Picture of Dorian Gray as the movie progressed. This movie takes body horror to all kinds of insane levels, I found the movie involving and one of the most horrifying experiences I've ever had in a movie theater. This movie isn't for everyone and I'm not sure people will be able to stay in their seats for the entire movie.

PROBLEMS: As soon as there was a major turn in the first 30 minutes of the movie it was predictable what thread in the movie was going to unravel. The movie reaches stomach churning,over the top levels in its climax that I just shook my head at.

Surprised with the immediate opening scenes/sequences control of visuals color etc and what felt brisk but balanced pacing for a good length of the running time. I bounced for a bit. Got some food. Came back with at least 45 mins to go and shit had gone very left but as you say it doesn’t slow down lol

I shook my head until I walked the fuck out lmfao

Oh yeah. The whole aspect of their “bodies to the movie”. It’s wild prosthetics in the flick and body doubles etc and all that shit also feels appropriately purposeful.
I’m just glad it’s wypipo “showing they ass” and taking the hits in this one lol
