| 07.04.25 | Internet | Holy shit I watched a movie! For whatever reason, I haven't felt a pull to watch anything new recently. All these movies look like ok diversions, like John Cena's the president and Idris Elba's the prime minister and they shoot guns and kill people but it's funny... i'm sure it's a solid 6.5, but meh... tv's been good, I've been playing a lot of video games, so movies are pretty low on the list when it comes to free time. I did think this would be good though. Ryan Coogler doing a period-south vampire movie sounds great on paper. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it, but just barely liked it. I don't know what I was wanting I guess, but it really is a period south vampire movie and that's it. Oh, with music. It felt a little From Dusk Till Dawn-ish, a little Lovecraft Country-ish, but never really developed into anything of its own. The one moment where this kid playing blues music speaks back to cultural ancestors and forward to hip hop was very interesting but also felt more like a Childish Gambino video than something belonging to this movie. Maybe I just didn't understand what was going on with blues versus the irish folk singing and dancing or whatever. Let me check the imdb trivia section. So enough of the bad. I will say that it got me to watch it, and I was planning on cutting the viewing in half but stayed up late to finish it, and it's not a goddamn disney movie and it doesn't seem to set up loose ends just for some franchise or extended universe and I very much appreciate all of that. So maybe I'm being a little harsh on the movie itself but I still wish I had more fun watching it. |
