Saw this on Amazon. Blaxploitation films were ahead of my time, but I know the influences better. Figured I should at least check out the source, definitely has a lot of the trademarks that I would expect. A lot of crazy stuff happens in this, Pam Grier is of course stunning.
Just saw The Holdovers. Really fantastic movie. I was a bit in the dark about it besides seeing a pretty positive thread on here about it a few months back (didn't even know until after watching it that it got nominated for Best Picture), but saw it was on Prime and still have my ad free month active after getting it to watch Fallout, so figured it was a good time to check it out. And glad I did.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the story be primarily about Tully and Hunham. At the beginning thought it was going to be about all the 'holdover' kids and the teacher bonding over misadventures at the school over the holidays, so didn't expect to see the other kids leave less than halfway through the movie. Just really endearing characters, and loved the general atmosphere and vibe of the movie.

Definitely goes in the category of WTF films for me. Mix of fantasy, existentialism, Looney Tunes. Fun reading theories about how people interpret the film.
I thought this was pretty fun. Delivering a lot of the action present in the games from the X-Ray moves to the fatalities. Liked the voice work for Shao Kahn/Sektor/Cyrax the most.
The reaction to this film is always so interesting to me. I saw it in theatres and the post chatter went beyond "not my thing," people were offended they watched it. The vitriol lasted all the way back to the parking lot.
To me, this is the sign of an interesting movie. I don't remember the 800 Conjuring, Nun, Insidious whatever off-the-rack horror films; Skinamarink is one of a kind, and it's hard to forget your first viewing of it. Idk, I loved it.

The Last Stop in Yuma County | Rotten Tomatoes
While awaiting the next fuel truck at a middle-of-nowhere Arizona rest stop, a traveling young knife salesman is thrust into a high-stakes hostage situation by the arrival of two similarly stranded bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty--or cold, hard steel--to protect their...

The Last Stop in Yuma County.
Released yesterday for streaming purchase or rental, and I loved the heck out of this film. I guess it counts as a "B" movie since it wasn't released by a major studio (Well Go USA).
Had a great time with it. There's some really neat directing here, really neat shots, and good acting. Kept me completely enthralled the entire time. So many great moments.
My favorite two scenes (out of many) are 1. When the gas station attendant almost says the name of the movie, but then it hard cuts to the next scene haha! And 2. When the knife salesman goes outside after the shit goes down, and the camera pans all the way past the diner/gas station to the road, and you are expecting a car or something to come down. The camera lingers there for what seems like an eternity and nothing happens, and without cutting, the camera pans back to the knife salesman. There's just some really neat camera shots here, and apparently this is a first time director.
Highly recommended!

It's a real boss move to establish all those interesting and well-performed other characters, then throw them away and forge down the more difficult route.
Yep definitely agree. Took me by surprise as my assumption of that premise is what drew me into watching it when I first saw a bit of the trailer. But the principle characters are just so engaging, and I had a great time seeing it through to the end.

Babes (2024)
There were a ton of genuinely funny moments in this. Great start for Pamela Aldon. I think the challenge here is being tolerant of Glazer's demeanour. If you're familiar with Broad City it will make a lot more sense. I think folks just coming into this can feel it's a bit much.

They both have played quite over-the-top characters, so I'm in for this.Babes (2024)

I think you'll enjoy it. Also, John Carroll Lynch understood the assignment as he normally does.

This was super fun for me. Some bits didn't land but I found it consistently funny.
