Holiday season means I'm catching up on shit I downloaded on my satellite box and via my Amazon stick
Ready Player One - All I'm gonna say is no one is better with CGI in Hollywood than Spielberg... That Nigga a don .. His shit too clean especially watching in HD.
*watching War Of The Worlds as I type this*
Adapted from a book it tells a tale of virtual (un)reality gaming and a reward for participating gamers by a billionaire IT mogul played by Mark Rylance... His third movie with Spielberg now
The scene with The Shining in it was just excellence . . 4/5
Cheap Thrills - Black comedy about a family man down on his luck financially and his old friend who enters into a sick twisted physical game scheme with a rich dude and his wife in a single day in LA..
I was LOL'ing all the way through at the absurd shit a man can be driven to do for money ... Movie highlighted poverty in a gruesome way.. Recommended
Wolyn ('Hatred' in English) - WWII drama about the genocidal attacks on the Polish by nationalist Ukrainians between 1943 - 45 based on alleged factual events... This atrocities were not given much publicity because more emphasis was placed on Nazis murdering Jews in that time all over Eastern Europe
Very horrific to watch. Decapitations and savagery even on children... War is fucking futile no matter the provocations
Cloud Atlas - caught this on Netflix...
Multilayered tale on existentialism and time and the connectivity of the universe... Starring Tom Hanks, Hallen Berry and Susan Sarandon alongside an English cast
Directed by the Wachowski Bros.. this film flopped and was critically not successful with reviews but I thought it is a sleeper... GOAT editing especially and cinematography... Also the improvisation of actors here playing multiple roles was quite obvious but bears into the story...
For effort and scale... 4/5
