Been watching quite a lot of stuff lately. Watched the new Turtles film (because apparently I hate myself) - yeah, don't watch that.
Also watched Secretary - which I was told was a romantic comedy. I even read reviews that said it was funny. That film, is not a romantic comedy. At all. The subject matter is a bit off the beaten track but it's an enjoyable enough film until her final 'challenge' - which is just stupid. Like I have experience in the whole sub/dom sexual thing and the whole point of it is trust. It's a give and take, even if it doesn't seem like it. Nobody would![[+]](images/collapse_collapsed.png "[+]")
for someone who they don't have a very strong relationship with, and even then it would be extreme. Just jumps the shark.
ALSO - even though I know that 50 Shades of Grey started off as erotic Twilight fan-fiction, it completely rips this film off (and thus the book the film is based off). Like, it's the SAME plot. The guy, is even called Grey. Like what the hell. How did this not make millions and millions and yet 50 Shades prints money like no tomorrow?
Right, anyway, moving on. Re-watched Princess Mononoke (got in a Ghibli mood after being surprised with Kiki's Delivery Service in cinema on my birthday, sitting there not knowing what film is about to come on is a really odd feeling...) - such a good film. Even the girlfriend liked it, and it's hard to gauge if she'll enjoy these things (she didn't like Nausicaä at all, which is like one of my favourite films of all time).
Watched Carlito's Way a while back (girlfriend was annoyed after it finished because I guessed the ending, like - to the dot) which is an excellent film, on par with GoodFellas.
Conjuring 2 - I ruined the film for myself I guess. Because I know about poltergeist (which I'm assuming a lot of people do thanks to the film: Poltergeist). I first thought the film was just stupid because it got things wrong, but that turned out to be the plot twist. So, pretty dumb. I mean if I didn't know it was a poltergeist then the film would have worked. But as the word poltergeist is in the title, well it kinda shoots itself in the foot.
Not sure if I've mentioned it before but man, The Witch is a weird weird film. Like I have no idea if it's good or bad, if I'd recommend it or what. Like it's a film that defies being judged. Very weird film.
Talking of weird films - Kill List. Don't Google it, you'll ruin it. Starts off pretty standard, good film and then BAM. Everything goes nuts. One of the most memorable endings I've seen in a film even if I'm not 100% what the hell I just watched.
