Taking Of Pelham 1 2 3 - Tumblr Posts

Movies Watched, Jan.2023

Happy New Year! The world hasn’t ended yet, even though it keeps feeling like everything could just crumble at any moment. Maybe that’s just how it feels all the time, though. Glad that I started the first month pretty strongly with movies. Obviously the holidays helped, but it feels like there are a lot of good films this year too.

You People (2023)

Great cringey ride. Seymour Dreyfus taps her horrifying self, and the leads are sweet.

The Fablemans (2023)

Very melodramatic tone. I enjoyed the Cinematography, felt and looked different than most contemporary movies. Dano and Williams had such good performances.

Love on Delivery (1994)

A classic Stephen Chow joint. Absurd, increasing stakes and become more surreal as the film goes on. A cute reminder that we haven’t really seen movies with similar comedic sensibilities in a while.

M3GAN (2023)

Quick, funny and the rightful heir to the insane murder doll genre. Smarter than the last Chucky remake. Scary and absurd. M3GAN’s dialogue is sharp. Also a secret queer story 🥲

Turn Every Page - The Adventures of Robert Caro and Robert Gottlieb (2023)

Learned a lot and was very pleasant and funny. Everyone had daddy issues.

Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3 (1974)

Funny and campy, the race jokes feel like it didn’t pay off. Very dated and uncomfortable. Glad I’ve finally seen this version.

The Glass Onion (2022)

Great romp with a throwback to classical structure. Not feeling the ending, though.

The Menu (2022)

Great acting but the second half is kind of a let down. The premise was exciting but I think it got in its on way. It was less than what I desired, but probably more than I deserve.
