The visuals, particularly towards the end, got me excited about what people could be doing with digital effects. Strikingly similar to "Stalker". +Crazy Rich Asians (2018) +------------------------- + +There were a few fun scenes, and well acted/produced, but there was too much +materialism and brand placement for my taste. Felt like more of a "coming out" +for Asian elites than Asian-Americans write large, but the specific sensitivity +to the American-born Asian/Chinese experience w/r/t old-country power was +well-recieved. Sorry to Bother You (2018) ---------------------------- Loved her t-shirts. Loved the "upper floor" business vibe. + +Roma (2018) +------------- + +Very good. Got to see at the Castro theater with Lucy. + +(that Orson Wells thing at Roxie) +------------------------------------ + +Ugh, really didn't enjoy watching this, and doesn't feel like I was able to +pluck out enough nutritional value for it to be worth it. At the same time, +pretty memorable and entirely self-aware. The film-within-a-film was spot-on +for weird 70s stuff like Holy Mountain or even Clockwork Orange. A lot of the +cuts reminded me of the original Prisoner TV show. + +I would take 8 1/2 over this film in a heartbeat. + +Infernal Affairs II +--------------------- + +Saw it on the plane and don't remember much, which was a losss. + +Die Hard +-------- + +Saw it on the plane and didn't need to remember any details, which is great. +Has become hip as an homage to building infrastructure, and I did like that +angle. + +Sicario: Day of the Soldado +---------------------------- + +Can't say it's a great film, but I drink up the dark moodiness and soundtrack +like sugar water. Not as good as the first film, but only because the mood only +goes so far, and the plot/characters are stretched thin. Liked it better than I +expected though. + + +What Happened To Monday +------------------------- + +Watched so many films on that flight! + +Acting was decent, but gimmicky. Overall, meh, even for an in-flight watch. +One-child policy plot and twist was horrible. Wished I was watching Children of +Men (the opposite problem) the whole time. -- cgit v1.2.3
