Movie night had to be moved to Wednesday, and it had to be short. Made sure to make it sweet, too.

Havoc - It lives up to the title! It's basically The Raid meets Run All Night. Which makes sense, because the the director of the former, Gareth Evans, wrote and direct this masterpiece! This is Evans at his peak again. The story simple: Tom Hardy plays a corrupt cop who has to save a corrupt mayor's son, Charlie. For a crime and murder of a triad mob boss, who the son and his girlfriend didn't kill. People said there's not enough story, but there is and it works in the movie's favor. It knows how to pace itself, but once the film gets going, it doesn't stop. There is tension in this movie, and that's what I love about Evans film works. The man can do suspense and tension, whether it be action or horror.

See this movie, if you're into his works, a fan of action films, or simple curiosity if you're new to his works: do note, he is known for ultra violent action, and the people in this movie get fucked up! Tom Hardy is a beast in this film, but the two people he's reluctantly protecting don't sit on the sidelines either. Especially the girl, Mia. She knows how to kick ass.

I saw it once last year, and bought a DVD copy from eBay last week. It came in today and just finished watching it now.

Should've posted the other day when I saw it but I forgot.

Though not all jokes land imo, there's still really funny ones and King Julien is great.

Re-Animator is an absolute master class of the absurd and grotesque. Loved it since I first saw it and Jeffery Combs is throughly relishing chewing the scenery with every line. "Was I supposed to leave a note that said 'cat dead, details later'?"

Watched the 2015 Steve Jobs movie last week and it was surprisingly good. Like with Danny Boyle and Michael Fassbender attached, I did expect the movie to have quality, but I did not expect myself to be emotionally interested in the life of a CEO told through just three days of his life.

All the performances were really amazing, and everyone killed it in their role. Kate Winslet in particular was a scene stealer as Job's long time secretary. For anyone worried that you would be bored by a heavy dialogue movie about some rich billionaire, trust me, it is actually a really interesting and intriguing film about an emotionally guarded man who uses his CEO persona and products to avoid being vulnerable around people.
It is a very unique take on biographies, where it is less about "who he was?", "what he did?" or "how he lived?" and more about "how he was?". It is like this deconstruction of the man where the film is not afraid of showing that yes, at his worst moments, Steve Jobs was a giant fucking unlikeable douche who abandoned his child. However, it also shows moments that is a speculation of how those things got ingrained in him and a clear distinction between how sometimes he is a dick because he is a dick and sometimes he is a dick because things are out of his control. However, by the end, especially the final scene, it also shows how he has the capacity to be a sweetheart if he allows himself to be vulnerable and don't see people around him like tools but actual people. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't whitewash his character or shows him misunderstood or glances over his misdeeds, especially when it comes to his daughter. Basically, the film is about speculating to the best of ability of how a human being's best and worst qualities exist simultaneously, and how often emotionally guarded people can end up hurting people around them as much as themselves.
As Steve Wozniack in one scene puts to Jobs, "You can be a decent person and a genius at the same time".
The best part about the film, as I mentioned before, is that it just takes place in a span of 3 days of his life. The film could've been like that shitty Ashton Kutcher jobs biography and tried to summarize his life over decades, but instead this one was smarter, and structured everything around it like a play, and somehow, the idea of summarizing Steve Jobs character and life from just 3 days in his life feels impossible but somehow, it does it. It accomplishes it.

Especially for fellow writers who wish to understand dialogues or aspiring actors trying to understand how to play emotionally guarded people, I highly recommend this film.

Finally saw No Other Choice last night, and it was rather brilliant. Not the strongest Park Chan Wook film, but it is a testament to the man's talent that even his weaker works like this are pure bloody masterpieces. I had a blast with the film.
