Mystery wrapped in a riddle

March 6, 2003

I’m not normally much on the wishlist thing but if anyone out there is overcome with the desire to blow a few thousand bucks on me? Get me this. I can’t even begin to express how much I want this object.

Wait, that’s a lie. I can easily express how much I want this object: less than five thousand dollars worth of want. I gotta say, this whole “money” concept is a very clever invention.

The EBay auction I blogged about earlier turns out to be blocked for a bunch of people — including myself,…

All that and a bag of chips. I kept marveling at the way Dick Pope captured London as hell; the early driving sequence, which is one of the few times Johnny has to be alone with himself, reminded me of Crash in the way the cold highway implies isolation.

Not quite even the sum of its parts. The parts are really good: Tjahjanto knows his way around an action scene, and I’m always up for an emotional revenge flick set in an underworld of deadly assassins. His trademark bloody battles clearly draw on more gruesome horror tropes, starting with that very first kill. So […]

Chaotic and untethered. There’s a hefty amount of reasonably okay low budget imagery, none of which holds together well. The cool concept of ghost hunting via ham radio completely vanishes midway through. The acting is mostly poor. I got some nostalgia value out of the Massachusetts locations: that’s my childhood skyline.

With The Brutalist on the horizon and Interstellar re-releasing in IMAX, we’re living la dolce vita by celebrating the art of the long film. Whether you’re a wolf of Wall Street or a humble fiddler on the roof, go the extra green mile and make a Schindler’s list of your top movies (no miniseries!) with […]
