2025 watch #208 - Killer Joe. When you live in a trailer park with your deadbeat family, and they practically sell you to a killer cop, you’d think you’re already pretty near the bottom of the barrel. But for Dottie (Juno Temple) there’s further to go. One relentlessly mean-spirited movie. #filmsky

A boy and his toy
A girl and her femjoy
A girl in the spirit realm
A boy called Bill who isn’t at the helm

Okay, this one’s a bit forced!

2025 watch #207 - Kill Bill: Vol. 2. The better half of Kill Bill, restrained action, full of character motivations, and twists worthy of a Coen Brothers film. Uma Thurman continues to amaze, it’s by far Daryl Hannah’s meatiest role, and David Carradine’s menacing Bill is finally on screen. #filmsky

2025 watch #207 - Kill Bill: Vol. 1. It has its moments, notably the first fight, O-Ren Ishii’s animated backstory, and the Okinawa comedic reprieve, but it’s a long ass movie to set up what you really came to see, Vol. 2. Which means The Whole Bloody Affair really is the only way to watch. #filmsky

2025 watch #206 - Bottoms. To avoid being expelled but mostly to meet girls, two girls form a Fight Club. The funniest high school film since Heathers. Rachel Sennott co-wrote so you’d expect her to be good, but the rest of the cast are equally impressive, especially The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri. #filmsky

@knowledgefight.bsky.social what's the count on emails teaching you how to pronounce Leicester [and Edam]? 😅 Keep up the good and important work, chaps!

2025 watch #205 - Dear Mr. Watterson (2013). Found out about this project when I listened to 2000’s movie podcast Scene/Unseen & one of the hosts - Chris Browne - was leaving to work on this. It’s a love fest but ultimately hollow without the great man himself. Like a Bowie film without the music.

2025 watch #204 - Spirited Away (2001). A movie this sumptuous and packed full of inventiveness and humour doesn’t need to make much sense. Blew me away in 2001 when I first moved to Japan, so it holds a special place in my heart as the gateway drug to all things Studio Ghibli. #filmsky

2025 watch #203 - Him (2025). When the protag gets a brain injury at the start of a movie already showing demonic symbolism, anything subsequent should be anything goes! Plus this is Monkeypaw, who’ve given us Us, Get Out & Nope. It was a high bar to get over, but it doesn’t take a run up. #filmsky

A week of problematic masculinity:

Joe wants to put America in a burning tire
Gilda’s in a triangle of toxic desire
Martin thinks he’s a living vampire
Affliction passed down from sire to sire

2025 watch #202 - Affliction (1997). Great adaptation of a great modern American writer - Russell Banks - who sadly passed in 2023. I guess not many of his books are palatable to movie audiences but I’d take more if his material produces performances like these from Coburn and Nolte. #filmsky

2025 watch #201 - Gilda (1946). Fan of film noir but didn’t know until today that Gilda was one. It ticks all the boxes except one: the title. Which influences the poster. Which makes it look less noir and more Gigi… Gilad (sic) I discovered this hidden [from me] cutthroat gem.

2025 watch #200 - Martin (1977). Another glorious Romero horror with a cute twist on vampire lore. Is Martin a vampire? His elderly cousin seems to think so, and Martin sure has a taste for red Mountain Dew. Yet daylight doesn’t bother him and crosses don’t burn. It’s vampirism as addiction #filmsky

2025 watch #199 - Joe (1970). "Joe, don't it make you wanna go to war, once more?" Watched on the recommendation of Quentin Tarantino's Cinema Speculation. Feels like a snapshot of 70's America with it's TV dinners & man cave-dwelling psychos. Joe walked so that Travis Bickle could drive? #filmsky

Unfortunate nomenclaturing

2025 watch #198 - The Running Man (2025). Makes adaptation of The Long Walk look like dystopian Shakespeare. The camp lazerquestness of the 80’s film never felt like a right fight for the source material, but this is possibly worse. A strong first third, but then it’s a meandering mess. #filmsky

Hard drive is a macguffin to show off Jade’s abs
Went back to watch Marty get confused over tabs
Mia Wallace has to take her jabs
And a penguin helps Coogan’s character find his gonads…?

2025 watch #197 - The Penguin Lessons (2024). “I have no wish to harm the penguin…” Steve Coogan is perfect as the jaded and sarcastic school teacher forced to take care of a penguin when he rescues it from an oil spill. A gentle way to spend a couple of hours. #filmsky
November 27, 2025 at 5:05 PM
2025 watch #196 - The Collapse (2025). Eddie Pepitone, the comic’s comic’s comic has stood up again, and his latest stand up is one of his best. It’ll stand the test of time, if we make it. Eddie doesn’t think we will 😁 #filmsky
November 26, 2025 at 9:55 PM
2025 watch #195 - Pulp Fiction (1994). Hard to describe the anticipation we had for Tarantino’s second feature, especially as here in the UK we’d spent two years wearing out our bootleg copies of Reservoir Dogs as it wasn’t released on VHS until 1995. I love this film.
November 24, 2025 at 4:51 PM
2025 watch #194 - Back to the Future (1985). Rebel with a cause Marty McFly must help his mum and dad fall in love in 1955, so that he can travel back to the future in Doc’s DeLorean. All time Spielbergian classic that made Michael J Fox a movie star and Universal a box office smash hit. #filmsky

A writer who meets a killer
A killer who commits matricide
A writer who turns into a killer
And Christian Slater’s killer gets stuck in his ride
