Welcome back Michael Bay! The visual sledgehammer was off making Transformer Films and serious action films (see: 13 Hours) for so long we didn’t know if he knew how to have fun (yes, the Transformers movies are NOT FUN). The answer is a huge “yes, motherfucker, yes!” as Bay has teamed with Netflix and Ryan Reynolds to create the dirtiest most violent riff on Mission: Impossible ever. Grenades blow people’s bodies in half, Cars defy gravity, people parkour the fuck out of Italy, Dave Franco drives a lime green Maserati like he was Baby Driver… and that’s in the first thirty minutes. Unrelenting giant ass action. Best of all; no need to buy a ticket because it’s playing on Netflix right now! B-MOVIE PODCAST EPISODE ON THE FILM HERE!
The Traitor (Marco Bellocchio)
This is the gangster film that everyone should be seeing and no one will. I can only hope this film joins Gammorah and A Prophet as crime films that people find and are blown away by. FULL REVIEW HERE.
Us (Jordan Peele)
Us is further affirmation that Jordan Peele is a filmmaker that will be with us for a very long time. Zigging instead of Zagging with his sophomore effort, Us shows another side of the director. Peele’s film is a visionary nightmare that only unfolds its real aim in the last few minutes. Though this ending is not some gimmick or storytelling twist, rather a real swing for the fences ending that Peele for the most part lands.
Uncut Gems (Josh and Bennie Safdie)
This one. This one. It kept on moving around on my list. Ultimately, I know that audiences are going to fall in love with this movie. It’s a thrill ride, unlike anything anyone has made. The film is solely the Safdie Brothers and their’s alone. The Brothers have made something of a soon to be classic and have produced what amounts to an actual miracle and the biggest special effect of 2019; an Awards-worthy performance by one Adam Sandler. FULL REVIEW HERE.
