1000 Women in Horror proves once again that Shudder does not skimp on docs. This shows a history of women in horror by showing the life cycle of women. Kids, teens, adults, elderly, this covers it. The talking heads here add actual insight and not just about film but what it truly feels to be a woman. A
The trailer for Project Hail Mary blew me away but it was from Lord & Miller, they are fun directors so at most I thought this might be a fun popcorn flick. This is way beyond that and this is now easily the best film of the year. This might even rival last years best.....hell it takes it on emotion alone. I teared up many times watching this. The relationship between Grace(my boy Ryan Gosling) and Rocky is a thong of beauty. The structure is wonderful and the film looks gorgeous. Of all the lost in space films of the past decade this one is the biggest thumb down......I mean thumbs up of the bunch.
The Bride is somewhat meta, it is a crime drama romance mixed in with punk bars quasi musical dance numbers, some camp and all set in the 30s....it's all over the place tone wise......and that makes it bonkers and admirable. The acting and gore is great, the plot is thin but it starts getting tighter towards the end. This has has cult classic written all over it.
I was vastly against seeing Scream 7. Mainly for what happened to Melissa Barrera but the trailer looked bland and generic. Still wound up seeing it since my girlfriend and I talked about it and.....it's okay. The first 20 minutes or so drag but once it gets to the theatre rehearsal it picks up....and stays that way until the last 20 minutes or so. I liked that it tried something new and flipped the script but the end was so lackluster. Sidney has always been the weak link of the series so once more familiar faces pop up, it helps.
