This film is dividing audiences with political satire swung like a sledgehammer. And I'm here to cheer it on. My review of Digger:
thebestpictureproject.wordpress.com
Digger
I never know what to expect with Alejandro González Iñárritu's  films. Sometimes they’re baffling, beautiful, intensely violent or blend fantasy with dark reality. Digger is something I could have never expected from the previews. Hilarious, yet disturbingly close to our reality, this paints a picture of not just a selfish greedy egotistical man who acts larger than life, but unfolds this story in careful layers that leave the audience disturbed, astounded and questioning our own timelines.

We flipped a coin to decide what movie to show the kids tonight. Tails, Tremors! Let's see how bad an idea this was.

Just saw Digger. I never know what to expect from Alejandro Inarritu, but damn! That's some brilliant Best Picture material right there.

Enjoy new horror movie reviews all October! First up, a hopeless romantic wishes for love but ends up with a nightmare. My review of Obsession:
thebestpictureproject.wordpress.com
Obsession
A unique take on the old Monkey’s Paw tale, Curry Barker's Obsession is about a young man, Bear (Michael Johnston) who is too afraid to tell his friend, Nikki (Inde Navarrette), about the feelings he has for her. Everyone else in their friend group knows. He even asks them for advice! Either Nikki is blissfully blind or intentionally only wants Bear to be a platonic friend.

Dinner in Zaandam. Everyone speaking Dutch. I don't understand much. The people at the next table bought Nerf guns, fresh outta the cardboard. A lady with a thick Dutch accent whips it out and does her best Scarface impression, "Say hello to my BEST friend!" 🤣

A must see film that was nearly hidden away. A fun, zany and uplifting must see for all ages! My review of Coyote vs. Acme:
thebestpictureproject.wordpress.com
Coyote vs. ACME
The opening scenes of Coyote vs. ACME sets a mysterious tone inside the ACME facilities. We see cartoon character Dr. Lorre sneaking around the real life factory, trying to hide some evidence. But ultimately the brutes within ACME stop him and put down one of those portable cartoon holes you can roll up and carry away at will. “You can jump or we’ll push you,” and down Dr.

Rewatching the beginning of Obsession. But I gotta turn this off before she's all creepy hiding in the corner. I love this movie because it's so simply creepy.

Seeing The Odyssey again got me thinking... If Odysseus is so smart, why'd he stick the horse in the middle of the damn tide? The design is pretty, but totally impractical. The wheel was invented, use it! I blame Nolan.

The Invite is what happens when Xennials graduate from raunchy comedies to a strained and bitter Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Era, but still wish they were carefree, getting high and having better sex. I loved it and cracked up at some of Seth Rogen’s lines.

Ok, for a movie based off action figures, Masters of the Universe didn't suck. How can you hate bright colors, glam rock, dumb fight scenes and a message from the muscle guy that muscles don't make a man. *Gasp!* It's Barbie for divorced dads!

Grand, beautiful, astounding! Maybe this is the Odysseus we deserve, but not the one I wanted. And that's ok. My review of The Odyssey:
thebestpictureproject.wordpress.com
The Odyssey
When I first heard that Christopher Nolan was taking on The Odyssey and putting Matt Damon in the starring role as Odysseus, I was worried. You see, I was that nerdy kid deep into Greek mythology and loved this tale since I was twelve. This is the original road trip story! With crazy side quests, romance and a longing to get home on both sides of the sea, all with Gods and monsters keeping one man, too smart for his own good, from his home and family.

I was hoping to get a shower hours ago, but my kid distracted me with Harry Potter and my husband broke a pipe so we got no water and the plumber is here (thank goodness) but now I don't think I'll make it to see Hadestown today! 😭

I'll be in the middle of a weird adventure with strangers I met minutes ago in New Orleans but my kid texts wanting to know where something is. Of course I know the exact location even though I am half drunk and 800 miles away. Love you, baby. #momlife

Watching They Will Kill You, knowing nothing: Husband - So was this directed by a man or woman? Me - A dude licked a sleeping girl's toe and now she's samurai slicing everyone up in her undies. This is definitely a man's work.
