Spin Me Round has a rough first act. The characters & situations are insufferable but as soon as Aubrey Plaza & Alison Brie go out on their night of debauchery the film truly begins to pick up. Tale of missing people, "murder", rabid animals, orgies and fine dining. Jeff Baena delivers yet another deadpan yet absurd film!
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, is one of the best bio pics ever produced. Of course it being a bio of Weird Al means that it is a parody of music biographies, and it does so brilliantly. It is over the top, absurd, loaded with cameos and easter eggs, and all around hilarious! Daniel Radcliffe and Evan Rachel Wood are both great and the entire cast seems to be having a blast. It is paced & structured perfectly and the insanity doesn't let up the entire time.
I don't quite know what to make of Significant Other. It starts off great, gets claustrophobic and bizarre, then gets super bonkers.....then it sort of stops making sense.....then it truly totally stops making sense. In all the senselessness it is still beautiful and weird, making you unsure of what is really happening. There is alot to admire here, but i am just not sure how i totally feel. It is almost like a variation of Annihilation.
DC Animation has been quite hit or miss lately. I've never been a big fan of John Stewart's Green Lantern but with it being on HBO i decided to take the Lantern oath. It has some cool action sequences but it feels like all the things people nitpick on DC live action is present here. Everything seems rushed and things happen just to happen. Even with the twist it still felt like the angle was hot shotted. I will say it is more entertaining than alot of their recent films but it is very much style over substance.
Resurrection is one of Shudder's best crafted films. It is one that got rave reviews at Sundance, and it is easy to see why. It has a Hitchcockian and De Palma vibe throughout with sexuality & paranoia. At times it feels like a Giallo film only without the kills. It is a bit long in tooth but it is worth it as it build tension. Rebecca Hall & Tim Roth are both great in this even though half the time you have no idea what is going on(intentionally). Much like the middle, it does drag at the end so some editing was for sure needed but i do hope Shudder puts out for films like this.
Tubi films for the most part are pretty fucking bad. Slasher remakes for the most part are pretty damn good. Terror Train, the new slasher remake on Tubi.....is pretty fucking bad. The plot is close to the original, the kills are trash, the acting is terrible and the characters are insufferable. I wanted to see these characters die, i just wish the kills were actually were actually worth a damn. It is not a boring film, and it has a fast pace but oof, definitely one of the weaker slasher remakes. With it being a Tubi original you get what you asked for though.
