Lost in Translation 2003 ★★★★
Is this the official start to a #Murraysance? Bill Murray's transition from the goofball/screwball comedies to the more arthousey quirky roles he is known for now?
In her song “Hypnotized” Ani Difranco sings: “I was surrounded/by a language/in which I could only say hello/and thank you very much” and to me, that sums up this movie. With Japan as a perfect setting. Through some reason, you end up in a place that you don't understand. Sometimes it baffles you, scares you, moves or amuses you. And sometimes all at once.
“But I had just enough sweetness to keep you hypnotized”. To me, that line is the essence of this dreamy story, about two drifting souls finding each other in an unlikely friendship and even more unlikely romance. And I still found it touching upon this rewatch.
Stuck 2020 ★★★★
Nicola did not screw Davey.
Davey... screwed... Davey.
A well filmed pre-emptive strike with a lot of fun gore.
Omegle 2022 ★★˝
Well, at least there was no time for random penises.
One of those shorts that are fun as long as you "just go with it".
Make Me a Sandwich 2019 ★★★★
A funny horror comedy short about, for lack of a better word, peaceful resistance. It gets you to sympathize with Marcy and the image of the totally oblivious husband is pretty funny.
