haven't watched Walker yet but it's insanely funny that presumably Walker on the poster is this epic badass lawman-looking guy with a chiseled jaw and rifle, and then the real Walker looks like the Stonks meme stuffed into a suit

Rewatched Lord of War. Even though I thought I knew all the jokes by heart, it still gave me a good laugh. Apparently the bit about "rescue helicopters" is true or was at some point?

Godzilla Minus One is fantastic. One of the rare Kaiju movies where the human drama is actually interesting. Wife and I both did the Leo pointing meme when we saw the German text on the Local Fighter's seat. I love Godzilla movies and I think this is one of the best, up there with Shin Godzilla. Might even be better than the 1998 one with Matthew Broderick

I re-watched 13 Assassins last night and it still kicks so much rear end. Absolutely gorgeous cinematography and some amazing battle sequences. There are so many killer moments in this movie (the beheading shot during harakiri, the "TOTAL MASSACRE" reveal, etc.) that it's hard to choose a favorite, but this may be the single hardest shot in modern samurai cinema:



Also, hype that I finally found a legit way to watch Battles Without Honor and Humanity (it's streaming for free on Tubi with ads right now!), so I'm going to check that out soon.

edit: 13 Assassins might be one of Miike's more restrained films, which is loving hilarious to me.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter - one of those movies that I wish I liked more than I did. A bunch of great parts that somehow add up to less than their sum. I love the premise of taking just the Demeter captain's log section of the Dracula novel and expanding it into its own story, the cast is great--I've loved Liam Cunningham and David Dastmalchian in everything I've seen them in and they were good here too, and Corey Hawkins was good in the lead role--I liked Dracula's monstrous design, it had some decent scares and a really effective claustrophobic atmosphere, and a sick soundtrack by Bear McCreary to top it off. It just somehow all landed a bit flat outside of certain moments in a way I find hard to define. It also kind of annoyed me that the vampire rules were for kind of the stock pop culture vampires and not the Dracula novel specifically--characters turn into vampires after being bitten instead of needing to drink Dracula's blood in turn, and vampires burn up and die in sunlight where sunlight only weakened Dracula in the novel. Normally I wouldn't mind but if you're presenting it as an expanded chapter in the novel I feel like you should stick to the novel's vampire lore instead of the stuff that came later. I'd still recommend it if you like vampire movies or Dracula stuff, just kind of a soft recommend, you might like it but you probably won't love it.

Godzilla 2014 - This one's kind of the opposite where I totally get why it has mixed reviews and doesn't work for some people, but it completely works for me. Sure it could have used a little less of the buildup after Brian Cranston's wife dies and before the monsters show up, maybe a few more action scenes scattered throughout, but I think mostly showing it from the human perspective was a really cool idea, something that as far as I know has only been done before by Cloverfield, and while I liked Cloverfield well enough for what it was this just blows it out of the water. It had a strange authenticity to it for a movie about giant monsters, the ground-level focus on the carnage and the people affected by it, even when it's just like the quick montage of people calling emergency services to report that they're trapped in the wreckage or can't find their wife etc, gave it the feel of being a disaster movie where the disaster just happened to be giant monsters rather than really being a kaiju movie per se. And then when it finally turns into a traditional Godzilla fight movie at the end it's just a drat good fight. Good choice of director for this movie, he's really good at setting a sense of scale--he also did Rogue One which I thought was generally pretty execrable but there's a few moments where he gets to play with scale in that too like the Death Star looming in the skies over that one city that gets blown up or the shots where the camera is at ground level with a bunch of rebel troops as these towering AT-ATs fire at them from the horizon that are the high points of the movie. Weirdly specific thing for a director to be good at but hell he is good at it.
