THiNC. Movie Spotlight 135

Do we have an initial breakthrough in the strike chaos happening in Hollywood? Let’s hope the momentum keeps up and our cinematic ice age thaws. Cross your fingers everyone.

2023.09.23 THE CREATOR

Sooooo incredibly excited about this one folks. The Creator looks like some serious, non-Intellectual-Propertied goodness right here. So much so, I’m going on record to say it instantly becomes IP’d… and we get a sequel in the next 2 years. I’m so much looking forward to this, but I’m waiting until next Tuesday to see this with my GMN (Guy Movie Night) group… so no spoilers til next Wednesday, okay??? Great thx.

2023.09.23 DUMB MONEY

Could there be a more perfectly insane movie for a more perfectly real, but equally insane life occurrence? Could the casting on this movie be more perfect? Could a more perfect movie ever exist? Could I possibly write another single sentence that begins with the word could? Could I? I could. Cannot wait to get my hands on this one.

2023.09.23 THE MACHINE

I have literally ONE THING, and one thing only to say about this movie – Luke Skywalker for the win. That is it, that is all. See the movie.

2023.09.23 NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU

I absolutely loved this movie. Not just because of the closed-box-ness of this film. Or the mind-blowing concept of it. But for the screenplay writing. The character building. And better yet, that mindjob of an ending. Loved loved loved it.

Previously on Spotlight Worth Mentioning:
BEYOND THE INFINITE TWO MINUTES – Indie hilarity perfectly executed
TELEMARKETERS – gritty HBO detective take down of “non-profit” telemarketers
LOLA – Super Indie, “time travel” film during World War 2, must see!
THE BEAR S2 – such an epically great show… can’t recommend enough
APORIA – time travel (?) movie with a moral backbone, enjoyed!
TALK TO ME – an A24 Brilliant Horror flick. So good.
