Two films, two failures of craft: one mistakes lectures for drama, the other asks us to believe grown men don’t know what a naked woman looks like. Representation isn’t the problem. Transparency, laziness, and narrative incoherence are. Serious subjects deserve serious filmmaking.

Watched Malice. What an interesting, twisty thriller. Full of names and phrases that Sorkin would use well later, but fun to see in this form. More of a “ride along” than a puzzle to solve, it has incredible moments like Baldwin’s God Complex speech. Layering of plots is great too.

How a pet and its new owner finding each other in The Friend is very familiar ground, but it works because the story is told with empathy and sensitivity. Naomi Watts and Bill Murray are touching as a professor and her mentor, who both accept a Great Dane into their lives. A charming little drama. Recommended.

I can't deny the vibrant and endlessly creative cinematography that held my attention, but as a story to be taken seriously it didn't make a lotta sense.
Chars have quiet moments of introspective conversation when, really, they should be dead silent and alert for the next lurking zombie attack. Then about halfway thru, it became utterly implausible.
If you can set that aside, the #movie becomes a poignant tear-jerker on dealing with the harsh realities of life. 👍

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
Directed by Nia DaCosta; starring Ralph Fiennes, Jack O’Connell, Alfie Williams, Erin Kellyman; written by Alex Garland (1h49m)
A doctor manages to build a connection with an infected alpha, as gang of devil-worshippers approaches.
Redeems the franchise after a disappointing first installment with the same wild concepts, great characters and visceral horror that made the original film stand out.
Rating: B+
I finally watched "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" and it truly showcased the evil of Dracula in a way I hadn't seen before.
In this movie, Dracula was cruel, ugly, and mean. It was not romantic or beautiful or sexy. This movie revels in the horror of what a creature like that is capable of.
The movie masterfully takes a few scant passages from Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and expands it into thrilling horror. I wasn't sure what to expect other than "Dracula kills everybody on the boat before it reaches London". They could have told any story they wanted around the known passages.
What they created was a believable descent into hell with appropriate foreshadowing and all the beats you'd expect of rational beliefs vs. sailor tradition vs. Christianity and how all of them fail in the end when faced with something truly unfathomable.
Dracula plays with the crew like—like someone playing with their food. It (I hesitate to call that thing a "he") delights in their suffering and fear. This is not a passive feast or an instant bloodbath. Dracula savors it. It could have easily killed them all or incapacitated them and fed on them at its leisure.
But that wouldn't be very entertaining. It wouldn't make the crew properly afraid.
The beast itself is not as scary looking as I'd have liked but I also try to imagine that it would still be pretty fucking terrifying in person. I watched it on my laptop so I'm not sure how great the VFX actually were. It looked fine on my laptop screen, even in the heavy, frequent rain shots.
You've seen promotions or read articles so you know this Dracula is in the giant bat form the whole time. But he also looks like a walking corpse. It's more grotesque and visceral than straight up "scary". It would be uncanny to see in person. You know it looks long dead, like something floating in a forgotten underground lake for generations, but yet it walks and flies and has already killed and will kill again.
It's a true horror movie and while the story could easily be inserted into the middle of the Francis Ford Coppola film, the tone could not. There is nothing tragic or redeemable about this Dracula. It is a monster through and through.

Rental Family, After Yang, The Wedding Banquet, and The Farewell ask you to excuse lies because the characters “mean well.” These films confuse deception with compassion, culture with a free pass, and vibes with logic. Good intentions don’t absolve bad behavior, and aesthetics don’t replace thinking.
