Hearts Beat Loud

This is a perfect role for Nick Offerman. Take High Fidelity, scale back the snobbishness of those characters, age em about 15 years(for the sake of character ages, not in terms of film releases), give them a family, and boom, you have his character in this. While not quite as elitist as Rob Gordon, they still share similarities. It's a touching film, a small & simple, yet smart film. It is also a film that references Animal Collective.It's a charming film, and riht now it is only 99 cents on Amazon, go check it out for that price, or get the fuck out of the store!

Border

Border is a bizarre love story, is it a love story? Border is a fantasy about trolls, that much is true. Border is a creepy, unnerving and semi ugly film that you can't help but watch. Ugly not only in terms of characters appearance but some actions, ugly in terms of sex, ugly in terms of stuff it almost forces you to watch. I applaud this film, i liked this film, i didn't love it, i don't know if i'll ever rewatch it, but it was always stick with me.

Heavy Trip

Heavy  Trip, the Finnish/Norwegian Heavy Metal comedy, is one of the funniest films of the year. Relatable story of a ragtag group of metal heads not giving up on their dream. Knowledgeable metal dialogue mixed in to a road flick with truly hilarious moments.

How To Talk To Girls At Parties

If you see one film about British punks vs pretentious artsy aliens that has S&M undertones this year, make it How to Talk to Girls at Parties. A funny and touching coming of age film with a great soundtrack that drips style and embraces being weird. This is a cult film through & through, and i am so glad 2018 has given us a few of them. Part Repo Man, part The Apple, part Sing Street. As a Neil Gaiman fan, it saddens me i haven't read the comic yet but that will soon change. Being based on a comic aside, this is one of the more refreshing films of 2018, a highly refreshing year of film!

Christmas Chronicles

Netflix's new Christmas film, the Christmas Chronicles, is a rare breed, an awesome netflix movie, also the rare awesome modern Christmas movie. A thing that isn't rare, an awesome performance by Kurt Russell, adding another to his rogue gallery. This is a role he was born to play, a sarcastic Santa that sings and wears a red leather jacket. It is a funny & touching film and one i plan to watch again before Christmas.

Sabrina(no, not the awesome series)

In my last blurb i said i used to receive a lot of shit screener possession films, this makes plenty of those look like the Exorcist. Is Netflix trying so hard to be the top dog in streaming horror that they put their name on any piece of shit? I see the deal with Cam, i get it, but this? Cinema is dying and this isn't helping. This is all the more reason why i doubt i'll see the Possession of Hannah Grace.

May the Devil Take You

This film went under my radar until i read the the director of The Night Comes For Us, had a second Netflix feature available. I watched that last night, it was a blast, so it is 2 in 0? No, 1 in 1. THis film felt like the cheap screener crap i get sent every month. It was being jizzed on as a Sam Raimi tribute, and they aren't wrong, but just because something pays homage, does not mean it is good. This was crap. You want Evil Dead esque? Watch Wither!
