(2022 dir. S.S. Rajamouli) Date Seen: March 31 2022

featuring the best onscreen power team since Shake 'n Bake

185) EVE OF DESTRUCTION

(1991 dir. Duncan Gibbins) Date Seen: March 31 2022

Serviceable junk that I wish was better.. I love a lot of Gibbins music videos, but he wasn't an action dude. A director like Craig R. Baxley or Albert Pyun could've made some batshit fun with this same material & equivalent budget.

Renée Soutendijk looks really cool in it though. Like something out of SURROGATES.

179) VAMPIRE HUNTER D

(1985 dir. Toyoo Ashida) Date Seen: March 28 2022

it's a misconception that the "D" in the title VAMPIRE HUNTER D stands for "Dhampir"; a half-breed hybrid of human & vampire.. The "D" surprisingly stands for "Dingus"

if horror filmmakers could just steer clear of gerontophobia material for a while, that would be nice.. My stomach can't handles much more.

171) PROM

Hear me out; All of the "Style over Substance" critiques lobbed at Baz Luhrmann throughout his career really do apply to Ryan Murphy.

168) JALLIKATTU  ജെല്ലിക്കെട്ട്

(2019 dir. Lijo Jose Pellissery) Date Seen: March 25 2022

Similar to how I felt about AQUARELA in 2019, this made for a singular viewing experience that I enjoyed, but the film could've been truly great if it had had some real characters. I wasn't expecting a bovine Moby Dick or anything; It's just nice when Man vs. Nature stuff is a bit deeper.. It's about 75% "pure cinema" though & that's the high quality potent stuff. 

See it and turn the volume up to 11!
