Brian and Charles (2022)
Why in the world is this rated a 6/10? This is a 9/10 movie
Absolutely fantastic movie. I've never seen anything quite like it. Brian and Charles are both extremely likable characters and it is nothing short of a privilege to watch them for 90 minutes.
I can't recommend this movie enough, my favorite one I've seen in years.
Gaia (2021)
I enjoyed it
Weird as hell and definitely not for everyone. Visually astounding. The father's acting was fantastic. Felt more conceptual than a full story. Certainly not a traditional horror movie. 7/10.
Twee zomers (2022)
Great Binge
Everything was very well done. Story kept me guessing, good acting, well directed. My only gripe was there was a lot of characters with a past and present version of each, and it wasn't easy to figure out who was who. Certainly worth a watch though, 8/10.
2000 Mules (2022)
Total trash for idiots
I gave it a 3 for being well cut from a film buff perspective. The content is about as far from a "documentary" as could possibly be. Written for the stupid, by the stupid.
Real Time (2008)
Best movie I've seen this year.
I recently received a rare opportunity to view this film, and boy am I glad I did. I have never written up a review before, but after seeing this movie I feel like I have to. Just to help get the word out that it exists.
The movie starts out with Andy, a complete and utter gambling addict, walking to the convenience store to buy a lottery ticket because he's feeling lucky. He buys the ticket, loses, and decides to go to the racetrack. On his walk there he is approached by the other main character, Reuben, whom Andy owes a LOT of money. Reuben tells him to get in the car, and proceeds to explain to Andy that he is going to kill him today. However, Andy is a guy that Reuben has always been fond of, so Reuben decides to give him 1 hour to do whatever he wants and come to peace with his life, while staying under Reuben's supervision of course. The rest of the movie is about Andy knowing for a fact that he is about to die and how he deals with it. I won't say any more, but I truly thought it had a beautiful ending.
The movie starts off with a bang, but it does drag for a few minutes in the middle, which is why I knocked off a point. It quickly picks back up though, and the final 15 minutes will have you inches from your TV. I should also note that the movie starts out rather comedic, but the tone rapidly changes to drama. I felt that the trailer didn't really do it justice, as it focused on the comedy part a bit much. In fact, I almost wanna say don't even bother with the trailer.
The movie, as the title suggests, is completely shot in real time. This means that the 73ish minutes that you are sitting there are the exact minutes of Andy's final hour (which is actually slightly over an hour). You see every characters move, every turn of the vehicle, and hear every single word spoken. Fortunately, this is a good thing as the dialogue is excellent, so the car rides on the longer side aren't boring.
After the movie movie ended, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it...which kind of stinks because I don't know anybody else who has seen it and I can't talk about it! So here I am, a couple days later, writing a review in hopes of getting the word of this movie out there.
The story is great, the dialogue is great, the acting is great, and it's a unique approach to film. My bet is that word of this one will catch on real quick and we'll be seeing it in theaters stateside within the year.
