Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale

A solid little Christmas horror film from Finland. They pretty much take the Joulupukki myth and give it some more horror elements to it. I thought cast was great and the scenes with the main son and his dad were really well done. It's also really well shot and they do a great job of showing scale and scope even thought it's just a horror film. Overall, it's definitely up there with some of my favorite Christmas horror flicks.

I think it's the best one since T2 and I liked T3 & Salvation. I only really dislike Genisys

The Lighthouse

Robert Eggers has done it again. The movie is pretty much a voyage and descent into madness and the 4:3 aspect ratio keeps you trapped with Pattinson and Dafoe. The best way I can describe this movie is imagine The Shining crossed paths with Ren & Stimpy’s Space Madness. It manages to be crazy and maddening and hilarious all at the same time. Eggers did a fantastic job giving this movie the authenticity of a late 1800s New England Lighthouse... everything from the production design to how they look and talk. Also, they did a great job having it look like a black and white Universal Monster movie from the 30s (The lighting and directing is just phenomenal). The sound design is also a big factor in the movie. Unlike The Witch, this movie constantly ramps up the noise that adds even more to the movie. As for the plotting, it's pretty simple and straightforward, but the mystery and watching their descent keeps you intrigued on what's gonna happen next. It's the performances of Pattinson and Dafoe that really defines the movie and it's got a theater play vibe to it that works. Overall, I loved it and if you love Egger's The Witch or just watching two people go batsh** insane, this is the movie for you.

Black and Blue

A somewhat decent 2019 update on the corrupt cop genre from the late 90s and early 2000s. It's nowhere near as masterful as Copland or Training Day, but the movie manages to keep afloat through most of it. I will say this is easily the best thing Deon Taylor has directed so far, but that's not saying much. The movie really tries to be a deep political movie about race and police brutality, but it ends up being a decent by-the-numbers action film that you'd see on cable on a Saturday afternoon. Naomie Harris and Tyrese Gibson were the ones who was actually trying... but they were in a completely different movie than Frank Grillo and Mike Coulter who was treating this as a entertaining b level crime flick. Overall, the movie levels itself and what it ends up being is a pretty entertaining movie that could have been deeper than it actually was.

Countdown

A high concept horror flick that's got some great ideas and relevant themes, but it breaks its own rules and gets pretty silly really quick. I will say It's better than what the trailer shows, the movie is basically Final Destination meets Happy Death Day. Elizabeth Lail plays the lead and they do a decent job making her likable and someone you want to root for... similar to Tree in Happy Death Day. Surprisingly there's a lot of comedy from P.J. Byrne and Tom Segura that (while hilarious) doesn't mesh well with the creepy demon stuff. Overall, despite its problems (and there's a lot of them), I still found it kinda enjoyable.
