A Stanley Kubrick classic, we follow Alex as he leads a dystopian gang and eventually tries to become reformed while in prison.

Monday Aug 15, 2022
Stare long enough into the abyss, and the abyss stares back. Questions and metaphors are present in life constantly, so wouldn't it make sense to have films that thrive doing the same? There are a plethora of films out there that have open-ended stories and endings and today we talk about the idea of whether that is good or bad. As always we want to know your thoughts as try to crack the code and watch explain videos, on ambiguous films.

When push comes to shove, family oftentimes is all we have, and that means we are willing to do anything for them. Phil and George, brothers who are ranchers, together become entangled with the lives of a new wife Rose, and son Peter. What unfolds is mental warfare with an outcome that you would not expect at all. While this film does have great cinematography, acting, and touches on great themes it does feel rushed at points and some things don't feel connected. Nevertheless, this is a breakout film of the year, just make sure you don't touch anthrax-ridden cows.

Toxic masculinity is a real issue no matter where you live in the world, being such a horrific thing, it only makes sense to be a horror film. We follow Harper, escaping to a countryside getaway weekend after witnessing her husband's death, and what ensues is a fever dream nightmare. A film that definitely uses the shock factor towards the end, does use genuine horror with a mystique around it from a director known for science fiction. This is absolutely not for everyone but it is something interesting to check out because "what do you want? To be loved"

Phantom Thread

Love is a very complicated thing, some days you and your partner may be head over heels for the other, and some days you might be poisoning them with mushrooms. In this, we follow Reynold Woodcock, a famous dress designer, who finds a new muse in Alma. What begins as love, becomes heartache as routine and lack of empathy take hold. A film that breaks down a romance in a very different way shows just how harsh co-dependency can be. Ultimately some may think this is a "boring" film but to them we say "the tea is going out, but the interruption is staying right here with me"

Going through Highschool there are a number of clicks and groups that are easily recognizable but the thing you don't realize until you are an adult is that we are all the same during that time in our own way. On a Saturday morning, five students are joined together for detention for various things they had done. A film that perfectly captures the 80's and is easily known by everyone but what people don't realize is how heartfelt and heavy this film can be. Having no weak links in acting, just a few scenes that don't add up. That being said, this is a classic, and "don't you forget about it".
