For those that saw Together already…that was totally a little Ju-on homage right?

2025 faves so far; wanted to get my F1 watch in. Still gotta see Tatami and The Phoenician Scheme!
Sinners is probably the better movie of the two, but there are moments, imagery, emotional jolt from Bring Her Back that still flicker through my head
Can’t deny when a film sticks with me like that

The Woman in the Rumour (噂の女, Kenji Mizoguchi, 1954)
A mother and daughter find themselves deceived by the same man, each hemmed in by realities which cannot be altered in Kenji Mizoguchi’s touching melodrama.

Since they capped our first one at 150, and many more film people have joined Bluesky the past two weeks, we just created a second Starter Pack for everybody! This one includes illustrators/artists & podcasts too!
There’s still a little room in this one, so if you’d like to be added let us know :)

Saw Vernon Sewell’s taut Brit crime thriller Strongroom at @spectacletheater.com last night; been meaning to check out that theater for a while and it did not disappoint! Love the super-indie enthusiast vibe and any place that screens Lam Ngai Kai’s The Cat is my kind of spot

Sorry, yeah confused the show with the movie for that Baby Assassins post. Clip is from the Baby Assassins series, not the third movie Nice Days

Opening fight from Baby Assassins Nice Days; an electric start to what ended up being the most action packed, tonally balanced, and narratively compelling entry in the trilogy

I enjoyed THEY CLONED TYRONE. It has some interesting ideas, an unusual mix of tones, great music, a really impressive performance by John Boyega, and a nice grainy film look (whether or not it's real).

If not for an abrupt final act that pulls its dramatic punches in favor of a crowdpleasing finish, The Promised Land might’ve supplanted Society of the Snow as my current #1 favorite of 2024. Really enjoyed this Danish historical epic: https://letterboxd.com/more_badass/film/the-promised-land-2023/
Review of ‘The Promised Land’ (2023) ★★★★
The Promised Land (or, by its more potent original title, Bastarden/The Bastard) grips as a Danish frontier saga rich in the novelistic melodrama, deliciously hatable antagonists, and rugged violence�...

Halfway through Noirvember, and these have been the most recent highlights, with Witness To The City being the standout. New Wave cabbie slice of life x cat-&-mouse suspense through the Paris night, as Lino Ventura stalks the taxi driver who witnessed his perfect murder

Noirvember going strong! After a week of goons, PIs, and femme fatales, my faves have been Hollow Triumph/The Scar, Criss Cross, and The Hitch-Hiker
Last watched was Inferno (1953), aka a Technicolor survival-noir fusion where a murder plot is undone by Robert Ryan refusing to die in the Mojave

Always a good time revisiting Aldrich and Bezzerides’ KISS ME DEADLY. Noir in all its shadowy ‘50s LA glory and sadistic PI scumbaggery collides with the post-war specter of the unknown. A howling Pandora’s Box unleashing atomic-age doom & paranoia upon familiar genre conventions

The Hunting Party (1971) was vicious! Dir. Don Medford does an admirable Peckinpah impression; Hackman’s monstrous wealthy sociopath unleashes long-distance death when Oliver Reed’s outlaw takes his property…I mean, kidnaps his wife. A bleak revisionist western rife with beastly men & savage squibs

Fans of titles like GHOSTWATCH, DEAD SET, and CREEPSHOW's "Public Television of the Dead" will especially want to keep an eye out for LATE NIGHT WITH THE DEVIL.
David Dastmalchian is A+, no shock.

Goodbye spooky month; hello Noirvember!
1) The Other One (1946)
Mexican tale of two sisters with a dash of Last Seduction-esque cunning, as the wealthy one is replaced by the poor (other) one. Imposter guile and ironic twists of fate follow. Finale fallout was a bit weak but the rest is excellent

Max Mok gets his post-The Killer groove on in hitman thriller NO REGRET, NO RETURN (1993). Sturdy, serviceable, nicely paced HK actioner following an icy assassin on a mission to rescue his wife and kill his employer; dir. Ridley Tsui spreads the car chases, gunfights, & brawls liberally throughout

My last four 31 Days of Horror watches: a demon-haunted medical ward, a Panamanian bus ride to bruja hell, a real-time news program menaced by occult forces and political conspiracy, and a Korean slow-burn laced with postpartum dread
