THE INVISIBLE MAN

Is Revenge is served best old and invisible! Yes! Harrowing, unsettling, and gut wrenching narrative Rebooted sans the surgical bandages, novelist HC Wells "Invisible Man" A new and improved control freak who doesn't let go. The ambience is chillerific. Ultra modern 2020 tech savvy Malibuesque sleek concrete see-thru open view glass beach house and everything that money can buy to small town usa is the riveting back and forth backdrop. With all the San Francisco salt air you can breathe. If you can. Artisan and streamlined cinematography- picture perfect creepy attic, Golden Gate Bridge fly over, cozy suburban safe house, to details as nuanced to a wide shot dining with chic square wine goblets. These images meticulously relax you like candlelight into the slippery suspense. The approach to music is awesome silence... raindrops, natural and pelting and then steel. The application is a fantastic orchestration of sound/music/silence. Less is so much more. When there is silence we hear silence, and throughout this film it's what you don't hear that is so foreboding and nerve-racking. Now, Welcome to the Elizabeth Moss Show the sensitive tormented performance -- frightened -- frazzled -- beaten down is "The Film" Her fight back/skittishness with a presence of mind are hauntingly brilliant. You believe in his brutal narcissistic assault only because of her hi-test portrayal. The necessary supporting cast buoys Her up, giving the filler and strength to the narrative's twist filled arc. Oliver Jackson-Cohen smart smug spoiled snot Storm Reid everybody's teen Aldis Hodge neighborly friend Harriet Dyer snippy Michael Dorman a grey suit prima donna play their parts like the everyday people we know and trust The Director/Writer Leigh Whannel....His vision and shots makes you want to dodge weave and duck. Impeccable timing. Chiseled dialogue whips the story along. He did his homework and everything about this is truly a gift on stalking behaviour. No leniency on this harsh violent abusive subject matter (having experienced similar recounts, look a Hollywood Stars' notorious abuse stalking murder cases--this is true to life.) If you empathize with the story it is excruciatingly hard to process that everyday people behave this way in. The editing is superb linear and air tight. Whannel's whole POV is Her story. Is Her story really what happened? Emotional trauma is a slow process in response to being gaslighted. This is Masterly directed, and cleverly written. Just sit still and stop fidgeting. This is his style. One of this year's finest outstanding terror thrillers. Who? This film is for all types, enough action, story, mystery, thrills. If you like Hitchcock, this is more than up your alley. Invisibility is inevitable! It's "6g" away

CALL OF THE WILD

Ya know...Wild horses couldn't carry me away Not one thing in Nature is misplaced... This film is about awareness of ones thought words and deeds. Sometimes refusing to watch listen and learn causes life to make decisions for you. Are u feeling lucky, unlucky or stubborn? In this case various outcomes are exemplified without judgment. There is real evil, victims, heroes, and good on the playing grounds arena in this pine needle plateau of Alaskan country circa 1800's A setting of something-something of just living shrouded in a mystical journey. Here we are Yukon Alaskan frozen unpaved muddy caked street . No hot water, no electricity, No refridgerators, no soft and cozy blankets, no nonstick-induction frying pans. Life and Death were hard so never let your guard down. Danger was a way of life. So All of that... the big "roughing it" reflection is the narrative for the adults. Countered to a life of a dog's life pioneering his way through life and self discovery... is the telepathically transmitted tale to the kids. Very broad deeply flushed stokes within an appealing folksy fir tree iceberg epic vista. So rewarding. You see these untouched marvels, with wonder but the stark reality of getting a quart of milk and a warm bath / what it takes just to get mail or catch a salmon for dinner was time intensive during 1800. I saw a documentary of a bear in bear heaven as he sat in a river gorging his self on free range salmon. Next he was wailing and flailing his arms and racing off in a flurry. A locust-swarm of mosquitos had made him into din-din. Ya know, Alaska's state bird is the Mosquito.... That was a diatribe but This is that semi-human unadulterated Alaska / Era you feel. The cast is a patchwork of well cued characters. CGI animated "Buck the dog" the key character, as upfront and as humanified as possible. Harrison Ford brings a sentimental portrayal like a good port wine and mudcake. Others actors bring the hardened saucer-deep colorful no-nonsense ilk out so frankly that you could split a hair on. Stoic Cara Gee is unfooled by calling a spade a spade Omar Sy is whimsy full of things hoped for and polishing rough diamonds Mother Nature lifts a veil showing She is competent and sane. Its only humans who breed out of season... Ok. The film isn't metaphysical but it is. Nature is Nature. Unlike humans who need validation from brand name clothes, digital confirmating tablets, Fones, DVD. People have become their things and can no longer hear their true nature. This is there because it isn't. AND When left alone, Nature returns to Nature. Ya don't need a pair of Adidas to be you. This dog Zen-ifies for you. Director Chris Saunders brings casual fables to life in a live and let be virtuosity. The Cinematography is fall in love off the grid rustic festival The writer... Jack London. Who's this for? Hmm a kaleidoscope of mutts and thouroughbreds, casualists, philosophers and kids of all ages. You'll find "you" somewhere here. Therefore you will be entertained...the challenge is to see everyone and regain a bit of your nature. pick the battles watch for omens etc ultimately at the end of the day If u take time to notice, every creature on this earth has an agenda. in truth...Nature is not wild, humans are wild = loco bc of their forgotten nature. Like I say 1800 Alaska or Bust? If it were only that simple. I think we can have our cake and eat it, too.

HARLEY QUINN BIRDS OF PREY

Everybody has got their own kind of Gotham ...I shaved my balls for this... A film within a film. Put these 3 blurbs together: 1) Its a cornucopia of  In and out, flashback backstory, mosaic, multiplex, styles, noire, dichotomy, sleep overs, gangsta'lairs, nightclubs, Chinese takeout, to Lip gloss, Confetti and shanks Dressed up to kill, funhouse, This is my world 2) two types of people: they work collect pay bills, one is criminal one is not. Black, trite, and petty Comedy with exorbitant extreme over the top behavior as they torture each other in those classifications. Police pecking order smack down the rookies; Perps play the same politics. This Gotham is a birdcage of subversive and perverted petty tyrants with no apologies. Everyone is out for their self. Gotham in a nutshell is : Cutesie cooky cartoony sloppy bullying crass adolescent Campy mill-doll Caricature of over the self-absorbed narcissist. Pathologically driven with Shutspa. And 3) A blend update of the old Batman tv serial animated blubs to Emphasizing Dark psychotic sadistic violence humiliation --Gleefully and matter-of-factly mistreat everyone and every thought is acted on without a screen, while looking for more people to mistreat. When you present these themes together, you get this film. It is not a hodge podge. Its a smorgesbord! This Schitck is going sideways! The Cinematography is upbeat street smart with natural lights. No leaning on fabricated artificial light to set tone. This is character driven. What people do to attain their objectives is the interest. Lofty Music is an after thought of haunting cotton candy soft rock covers of hard rock. Like hanging blue moon wisteria sultryly lilting out "I was Born in the USA". The flock: Margot Bobbie is all  glockenspiel clown no excuses exuberance just Like a thanksgiving dinner and silver table setting: turkey with dressing, cranberry sauce, crystal chandelier, marshmallow sweet potatoes and stuffing. What you see is what you get. T-crossing I-dotting Rosie Perez clock in clock out pummelista. Demi-tasse Ewan McGregor sinister cynic low self esteem deal maker. Mary Elizabeth scorched earth phoenix. Jurnee Smollet-Bell the ephathizing linear gymnast. Ella Jay Basco fickle tricky stickiness. Smarmy Chris Messina licks his lips contemplating your suffering. Strong Black and white portrayals that give punch and oompht. Director Cathy Yan fleshes out a complex festival of themes moods events like shaking out bed linen and remaking a bed. Its like going through a woman's handbag, lots of knick knacks but nothing is a waste. And each item has a story. Screenplay by Christine Hodson keeps everything moving like a run on sentence. The chirping dialogue moves and propels the story, the scenes and action likewise do the same. There are so many action scenes on all levels, very cleverly articulated.  And the action all comes from a motivation. Guns, bats, kicks, any weapon will do No one underestimates their survival. Confidence is proper calculation and execution. They play hard and they fight hard. Who should see this film: Bee-atches and non-bee-atches. Final thoughts: ...I plucked my feathers ...shaved my balls after this... And am Flying south for the winter This film taught me: - A bird in the hand is a bird in the hand. -don't hang with someone who has more problems than you ;)
