Christmas Vacation: 9.3/10

Cousin Eddie is the man.

Django Kill...(more words)

My main knowledge of spaghetti westerns comes from Eastwood's Dollar Trilogy. However, I'd bought an older friend who loves cowboy flicks a 40-50 movie DVD collection that has a lot of the lesser Italian cowboy titles in it and he was in the mood for a western last night, so I randomly picked one that happened to be this one.

Gotta say, it was an experience. Now, part of this was that we'd been drinking for a few hours, but I have to watch this one again at some time just to try to put the pieces together. As someone who's watched a lot of Italian cinema (mainly giallos and horror), none of what I saw surprised me (violence, sleaze, general lack of a coherent plot), but man, this movie was just glorious chaos. A lot of stuff happened that, I guess, kind of held together something resembling a story. The director LOVED extreme close-ups of peoples' faces when they were talking (all the better to notice the mouth movements and the dubbing weren't necessarily in sync). And I was lost most of the time, but was having a great time watching whatever the fuck I was watching.

Would recommend!

Hot Fuzz. It's good. Amazon adding ads unless you pay more is bad.

Zone of Interest - 8.3/10

Poor Things - 7.1/10

American Fiction - 8.5/10

Skyscraper - 3/10. Formula movies can have redeeming qualities, this had none.

Creed 8/10

Dune: Part 2 - 9.9/10. Between Oppenheimer and Dune: Part 2, we have gotten some near perfect blockbusters within the last 12 months. 

Stargate-still an 8/10

Has anyone watched the iron claw. That movie deserved to be mentioned and make a run at the awards. If you have lost a brother or sibling you are in for an emotional time.

I have. I am surprised it didn't get a little more attention. But I don't think it is as good as most of the 10 BP noms. But Maestro is horribly boring.
