Another day, another mediocre Marvel movie
I binged 70 South Indian movies and these were my faves
Over the past six months or so, I’ve watched about 70 South Indian movies. I even started a list on Letterboxd to keep track. Since RRR is making waves and winning awards, here are a few movies I’d recommend watching if you loved RRR.
Is James Cameron an auteur?
It’s weird to think of James Cameron as an auteur since he makes the biggest movies ever, but Avatar: The Way of Water does feel like a combination of all the things he loves to put in his movies and it bears his distinct fingerprint.
I wish more filmmakers had the juice to execute their vision with a $250 million budget instead of being forced to crank out generic, studio-mandated, CGI-filled products. Avatar 2 might not be a narrative masterpiece, but it’s so much nicer when movies feel like they were made by a person instead of an algorithm.
Here’s my Avatar: The Way of Water review on Letterboxd. More reviews on Trashwire.
I saw the worst movie of the year
I saw Babylon and to say it wasn’t my cup of tea would be putting it in the mildest terms.
I hated this movie so much…
My review is up now on Trashwire here, if you want to find out why Babylon was the worst movie I saw in 2022.
