Didn’t know you could make dinosaurs in the Vietnam war into a boring movie but yet, PRIMITIVE WAR is here to say prove it’s possible.

I know the idea of the network tv premiere for a movie being years later is passé. But seeing Wicked on regular ass NBC tonight is blowing my mind.
I know it’s on for marketing, but still.

You might think, “Hey, it’s 11:30 Sunday night. You should get rest for the upcoming week.”
Wrong!

This movie is pretty fucking good.
MY FATHER’S SHADOW intersperses film footage from archival footage of the 1993 Nigerian presidential election for a moving tale of brotherhood, fatherhood, and nationhood. See the #TIFF50 review from Ashley Morales.

#TIFF 2/4: There are a lot of movies that do the anti-social kids with a camera movie better than BARRIO TRISTE.
Aimless yet padded out at the same time. Clearly sets out to be as unpleasant a watch as possible, at which is undoubtedly succeeds. But there is so little substance underneath.

TIFF 1/4: DIYA is a social drama with some good performances and great camera work about a man trapped by the melange and his own carelessness and traditional cultural practices.
More interesting than a lot of moral fable dramas because the lead isn’t a maligned innocent but just a dude who sucks.

AITA: My wife (18F) got mad when my brothers and I (23M, 22M, 21M, 20M, 19M, 18M, 17M) kidnapped all the single women from the local town and triggered an avalanche to seal us in our mountain pass farm for the winter.

It’s unbelievable how often AMC plays GLADIATOR. Seems like they have it on 5 times a week every week.
