dug the ricky jay documentary, 'deceptive practice.' he's just fun to watch and knows so much about his craft.
watched 'the yellow sea', a korean thriller from the director of 'the chaser'. it was good, like 'the chaser', but also like that film not much fun to watch. the best bits are this harrowing journey where the lead character is smuggled via boat from Yanbian Prefecture to South Korea (really quite quickly establishes better than most films i've seen how terrifying a sea journey can be) and later the same guy staking out an apartment building where he's supposed to carry out a murder. the last act is pretty ludicrous and betrays a lot of what came before it and the villains' motives are murky. still worth a watch because of the lead performance and some impressively gritty imagery but it gets a little tedious towards the end and seems to strike a poor balance between realism and ludicrous brutality.

iirc quite a lot of All The Boys Love Mandy Lane is surprisingly beautiful. The cinematography and tone are substantially better than yr standard cheapo teen horror flick. The ending is really silly, as mentioned, though.

i didn't hate this one, but i also didn't really see the point. the attempt to keep the title character mysterious so as to make the ending "shocking" just translated into title character being a dull cipher.
i thoroughly enjoyed dredd. cinematography was really smart, mix of a variety of film-like and video-like effects to good purpose. i guess it bombed pretty badly, not even making back its (not all that high) production budget internationally.
dumb question, but does netflix just pay a lump fee for a bunch of films or do they actually keep track of "views" and provide royalties on that basis? if something is a "hit" on netflix, does the studio see any more money, as they would with physical-media sales?

i didn't hate Mandy Lane, either, but the ending wasn't shocking in the least imo---the fact that the baddy was outed fairly early on made the "shocking" ending pretty well telegraphed, i thought.

I briefly considered out of morbid curiosity but opted against it. The fact that I did the same thing for The Croods today says a lot.

dan clowes and ivan brunetti are featured a lot in the "shut up little man" doc, which is a little weird because i don't think i've seen them featured quite so much in even comic documentaries.

The Croods is not a good movie, but it does have some surprisingly trippy visuals after a very brown and dull first act - like a Yes album cover come to life.
