Film: Mickey 17

 

GENRE: Sci-Fi/Dark Comedy
RATING: R for violence, language and some sexual content
RUNTIME: 2 hour and 17 minutes
PLATFORM: Movie Theatre
STARRING: Robert Pattinson (Tenet, Twilight, The Batman, The Lighthouse)
Mark Ruffalo (Spotlight, Poor Things); Naomi Ackie (Master of None)
DIRECTOR: Bong Joon Ho (Parasite, Snowpiercer, Okja)
WRITER: Bong Joon Ho (Parasite, The Host, Snowpiercer, Okja)
PLOT: An expendable is tasked with dangerous jobs while colonizing an ice planet with mysterious creatures.       

FULL DISCLOSURE: Wanted to see Pattinson die a bunch.

STORY STUFF: Not going to lie, wish they showed more of the Mickey’s deaths. There is some dark, dark humour in this film. I did enjoy that they sometimes forgot to put the table on the receiving end of the printer. Also liked the back and forth of the printer. There are a bunch of great scenes in this film but there are also a lot of parts that drag. I get the point that is being made but it takes too long to get there at times. Surprisingly enough, I think this film could have been quirkier.

ACTING STUFF: Pattison does good work but I’m not a fan of the actor, so I have a hard time rooting for him. Ruffalo adds some Trump-iness to his leader role but lays it on a little thick at times. Toni Collette (Sixth Sense) has a fun obsession with sauces but that was all I liked about her performance. Ackie does well as Mickey’s girlfriend. Steven Yeun (Walking Dead) is underused.   

ARTISTIC STUFF: Being an ice planet, there is not much to look at landscape-wise. The creepers are well done and entertaining to watch.    

VERDICT: Three stars out of five
SEE IT IF: You want something weird with a few dark laughs
UPCOMING REVIEW: The Amateur

Oscar Wrap Up 2025

 

Here are some thoughts on this year’s Oscars:

·         I got 14/23. Not a great showing but I knew there were a lot of tight races and I had a 50/50 chance on a few of them and picked wrong.  

·        A little too much love for Wizard of Oz and Wicked to start the show.

·         Conan O’Brien was pretty good as a host. It felt like he had nothing to lose since he doesn’t really have a show right now. I liked his Lithgow and Sandler bits.

·         The banter was awful. Andrew Garfield please shut up about Goldie Hawn.

·         Amy Poehler was good and Ben Stiller had a funny bit with the platform.

·         The presenters talking to each of the nominees was mind-numbingly dull. Just show us the clips of these people acting so we can appreciate their performances. They rarely even said what movie they were in. And then adding this format to costumes and cinematography? This is the worst idea that the Oscars have had in a while.

·         Halle Berry’s dress was blinding

·         Original Song lady singing “Emilia” at the end of her speech? Did not need that.

·         If you have four people getting the award, pick one person to talk, you are just going to get cut off. That one person can thank your family as well.

·         Adrien Brody stop saying you’ll be brief and then go on for another few minutes trying to sound inspirational. You are the reason they have play off music. Where was Lithgow’s disappointing face?

·         I was happy for Mikey Madison. And for Sean Baker who got to thank Quentin personally for casting Mikey in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

·         Sean Baker personally got four statues tonight. Is that a record?

·         Glad they didn’t have actors introduce the best picture nominees and just showed clips (including behind the scenes) with some voice over. It was quick and a good way to get back in after the commercials.

·         Not much else to say. Oscars needs to step up on their clip packages instead of having people talk to nominees in the audience.

Okay, here’s who won:

Oscar Predictions 2025

 

It’s that time of year again for my Oscar predictions. My confidence is low this year. For best picture there are four or five viable options in my opinion; it’s not a slam dunk like last year. I’ve seen six of the ten nominations (Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unkown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, and Wicked) but feel that will be enough for my predictions this year. We’ll have to wait and see. Just as a reminder, I’m not predicting who I want to win but who I think the Academy will vote for. From ‘smaller’ to ‘bigger’, here we go:

LIVE ACTION SHORT FILM
A LIEN
(It deals with the hot button immigration issue.)

ANIMATED SHORT FILM
WANDER TO WONDER
(It won some previous awards so I’ll go with this.)

DOCUMENTARY SHORT
THE ONLY GIRL IN THE ORCHESTRA
(It’s on Netflix and it’s about a humble unheralded person. Oscar likes this)

SOUND
DUNE: PART TWO
(Dune won last time and this one has more action and gladiator crowds.)

ORIGINAL SCORE
CONCLAVE
(I like the tension made with the score. I think it edges out The Brutalist.)

ORIGINAL SONG
EL MAL [EMILIA PEREZ]
(Haven’t heard it but still think an Emilia song will take it.)

VISUAL EFFECTS
DUNE: PART TWO
(More sandworms should beat the apes.)

MAKE-UP & HAIRSTYLING
THE SUBSTANCE
(The disturbing images I’ve seen will bring this film the gold.)

COSTUME DESIGN
WICKED
(A lot of creative costumes over the identical robes of Conclave.)

PRODUCTION DESIGN
WICKED
(The beautiful library and school grounds are well constructed.)

FILM EDITING
CONCLAVE
(It was tight story as opposed to slow downs of Anora and Brutalist.)

CINEMATOGRAPHY
THE BRUTALIST
(There are lots of creative angles and the architecture is well filmed.)

DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
PORCELAIN WAR|
(I’ll go with the Ukraine story over the Israel story of No Other Land.)

ANIMATED FEATURE
THE WILD ROBOT
(If the silent Flow was a short, it would win, but I’ll go with the kid’s story.)

INTERNATIONAL FILM
I’M STILL HERE [BRAZIL]
(Emilia Perez lost its footing thanks to recent comment scandals.)

ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
CONCLAVE
(This was a compelling story.)

ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
ANORA
(I think A Real Pain is better but this film managed to pull me in.)  

BEST DIRECTOR
SEAN BAKER [ANORA]
(I think he gets the most out of his actors and tells a great story.)

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
ZOE SALDANA [EMILIA PEREZ]
(She has won a bunch and should finish with the Oscar.)

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
KIERAN CULKIN [A REAL PAIN]
(He was great and has won everything else. This is a lock.)

BEST ACTRESS
DEMI MOORE [THE SUBSTANCE]
(Mikey Madison deserves it but this is a legacy win for Moore.)

BEST ACTOR
TIMOTHEE CHALAMET [A COMPLETE UNKNOWN]
(Brody already has one and Timothee worked hard on this performance.)

BEST PICTURE
CONCLAVE
(I think they’ll go with a ‘safer’ film that comments on leadership races.)

I got 20 out of 23 categories last year. I’m not expecting that at all this this year. We’ll see what happens this Sunday.

Film: Captain America: Brave New World

 

GENRE: Action
RATING: PG-13 for language and violence
RUNTIME: 1 hour and 58 minutes
PLATFORM: Movie Theatre
STARRING: Anthony Mackie (CA: The Winter Soldier, The Night Before)
Harrison Ford (Clear & Present Danger); Danny Ramirez (Maverick)
DIRECTOR: Julius Onah (The Cloverfield Paradox)
WRITERS: Rob Edwards (Treasure Planet); Malcolm Spellman (Bel-Air); Dalan Musson (Falcon and the Winter Soldier); Julius Onah (Luce);
Peter Glanz (The Longest Week)
PLOT: The new Captain America finds himself in an international incident and at odds with the new president.      

FULL DISCLOSURE: Just happy to be back in a movie theatre.

STORY STUFF: It seems like this film was made to tie up some loose ends before the upcoming Avengers films in the next years. This film uses key aspects from the barely watched Incredible Hulk (2008), The Eternals, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. So, if you haven’t seen those, you’ll get some lame exposition to catch you up. The plot is supposed to be a political thriller but fails hard, which makes sense when they are insulting to their audience. It takes them that long to realize mind control was used? We got that instantly, we’ve seen movies before. With this many writers and this many reshoots, this film is just a hodgepodge of moments that never really click. I was okay with some of the acting but the plot doesn’t hold a candle to previous outings and the dialogue is tepid. The humour is missing. And the end credit sequence is not worth your time.

ACTING STUFF: Mackie is fine as Sam Wilson yet again. He’s a lot more fun when hanging out with Chris Evans or Sebastian Stan though. Though it is sad that William Hurt passed away before continuing his role as Thaddeus Ross, I am glad that Harrison Ford took over the role. I like Ford enough that I can care about his character way more than I would have done with Hurt. Ford is trying his best but doesn’t have great material to work with. Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad) is a great villain but is barely in the film as he was added after the fact. Shira Haas as Ruth made sense as a character but she looks out of place in this film. Ramirez is okay but trying too hard. I liked Carl Lumbly in Alias so I’ll always root for him.  

ARTISTIC STUFF: Loads of CG stuff. The plane stuff didn’t work for me. Liked the Red Hulk moments I guess. Lots of green screen use. The cherry blossoms looked terrible.   

VERDICT: One and a half stars out of five
SEE IT IF: You are addicted to Marvel stuff and are a completist

Odd Choices
MOUNTAIN DEW – Kiss From a Lime

That is all I feel like showing.

Golden Globes 2025 Recap

 

Here’s my recap of the Golden Globes last night.

·         Nikki Glaser did a pretty good job with the opening monologue. There was some light roasting but most of the stars seemed to be having fun. Harrison Ford looked confused though. I liked her Ben Affleck and Robert Kennedy jokes.

·         What was with that locator pin for where the nominees were sitting? I don’t need a Google Map to their seat. Rather have clips than just some small photo. So weird.

·         As Seth Rogen also pointed out, the angled presenting to the side was bizarre. The camera was too close to them at times and just made things awkward.

·         The presenter banter was mostly boring. Hated the Wicked supporting actors not knowing the current lingo. I did like the proudly Canadian Seth Rogen and Catherine O’Hara talking about their fake Golden Antlers.

·         I feel sorry for the person who had to look up some Wikipedia stuff to put under the presenter names. Didn’t have time or care to read all of it. Same goes for info being displayed and different info being announced as the winners came to the stage.

·         I wish I could have seen Ted Danson win that Carol Burnett award.

·         Got a kick out of Vin Diesel trying to justify the inclusion of the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement Award. It’s all about global unification people!

·         I did not do well with a bunch of predictions. I got 17 out of 27 categories.

·         Surprised with wins like Fernanda Torres for Best Actress in a Drama and Sebastan Stan for A Different Man.

·         Pleasantly surprised for Colin Farrell winning for The Penguin. Love that he thanked the craft services people.

·         Also was surprised that Demi Moore hadn’t won anything before (pretty sure she won a Razzie for Striptease). I liked her speech.

·         Zoe Saldana went on too long. Anna Sawai was pleasantly short.

 

Anyway, here were the winners:

Best Motion Picture – Drama
