Johnny Mnemonic (1995)
I WANT ROOM SERVICE!
DISCLAIMER: I am not a William Gibson fan.
It's rare to find a movie that is so perfectly and entertainingly stupid. Johnny Mnemonic is a movie that revels in its instantly dated understanding of the future. Does it make a lot of sense on the first watch? Not really. Do the depictions of futuristic technology hold up? God, no. Is the miniature work good? Absolutely not.
But that doesn't matter, because this thing is endlessly entertaining. The action scenes are a pleasure to watch, Ice-T gets to exposit his way through increasingly absurd plot points, there's a whole character shoved in here that should be in a Garth Ennis comic, and Keanu Reeves is trying his hardest with the material he's given. I think it's a great time.
Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi (2001)
Favorite Movie
Best vomit scene in all of cinema. You've never seen vomit like this. It's gray. It's lumpy. It covers an old woman. It's so perfectly and essentially *vomit*.
Womb (2010)
It was decent, but . . .
So I sat down one evening to watch a disturbing little art film about Eva Green and Matt Smith and cloning and maybe a little bit of incest. And I got that, mostly. But do you know what I got that I was completely unprepared for? A little boy dragging a long sheet of plastic that he had obviously gotten from the beach right through Eva Green's living room, with her just watching and saying nothing. Some child who is there as a GUEST and she just lets him bring garbage into her home. Matt Smith constantly standing just a little too close? I can take it. Children slowly burying a mechanical toy dinosaur while it pitifully tries to walk? Easy. Weird sexual tension between a mother and her son, culminating in a sex scene that made me want to squirm out of my skin? I lived. But that sheet of dirty plastic being dragged through that living room. That is the scene that will haunt me for the rest of my days.
