Upcoming Movie Themes

It's Haunted House Week!

Last week I watched much more than I was able to review. It's October and the humidity is still 90%. Last night when I was trying to go to bed I had the window open and it was 52 degrees outside but still 75 degrees inside and the heat is turned OFF. Huzzah.

The Recruit (2022-)

The Recruit (2022-) AIRS Friday s at 3:00 AM on Netflix PREMIERED December 16, 2022 RUNTIME 55 m TOTAL RUNTIME 7 h 20 m (8 episodes) CREATOR Alexi Hawley COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English STUDIOS Hypnotic , Entertainment One , P3 Media GENRES Drama , Crime A fledgling lawyer at the CIA that becomes enmeshed in dangerous international power politics when a former asset threatens to expose the nature of her long-term relationship with the agency unless they exonerate her of a serious crime. Streaming on Netflix I have only watched the first episode so far, so I obviously can't speak for the whole season. The truth is I want this to be Mindhunter. :( Oh well. I appreciate the sarcasm in the writing, but I'm not sure what this show is trying to do. Is this a Jack Ryan thing? I like cheese. Mmm... cheese. I'm totally getting some cheese after I post this. 0.2/1 Directing 0.5/1 Cinematography 0.6/1 Visual design 0.1/1 Editing 0...

One Missed Call (2004)

One Missed Call (2004) Takashi Miike directs this Japanese tech-horror in which people mysteriously start receiving voicemail messages from their future selves, foretelling their deaths. Release date: 1/17/04 (Japan) Runtime: 1 hour 52 minutes Director: Takashi Miike Writers: Yasushi Akimoto (novel), Minako Daira (screenplay) Streaming on: YouTube, TubiTV, Cinemax I was working in a movie theater when this came out and I believe at the time I didn't know Takashi Miike yet. Unfortunately it wasn't at our theater very long, and I missed the opportunity to see it on the big screen. 0.5/1 Directing 0.4/1 Cinematography 0.5/1 Visual design 0.6/1 Editing 0.4/1 Plot 0.5/1 Writing 0.3/1 Acting 0.5/1 Soundtrack/Score/Sound 0.1/1 Originality 0.5/1 Rewatchability Total: 4.3/10 Binge Bones The verdict: Inconsistently effective, maybe only watch if you already love Takashi Miike or Japanese ghost horror.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022)

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022) RELEASED November 23, 2022 RUNTIME 2 h 19 m DIRECTOR Rian Johnson WRITER Rian Johnson COUNTRY United States LANGUAGE English STUDIO T-Street Productions GENRES Mystery , Comedy , Thriller World-famous detective Benoit Blanc heads to Greece to peel back the layers of a mystery surrounding a tech billionaire and his eclectic crew of friends. Starring: Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Kate Hudson Streaming on Netflix I'm excited that this might turn into a series with a ton of movies because besides things like Bullet Train and straight up Agatha Christie remakes, mysteries really haven't been a genre that has been at the forefront of film in a very long time. I'm excited for its return. 0.9/1 Directing 0.9/1 Cinematography 0.9/1 Visual design 0.8/1 Editing 0.8/1 Plot 0.9/1 Writing 1/1 Acting 0.8/1 Soundtrack/Score/Sound 0.7/1 Originality 0.5/1 Rewatchabil...
