Phat Mack Eyeballs The Flicks

 Ford vs. Ferrari Statement of personal prejudice: As a small boy I saw Carroll Shelby in a cowboy hat standing next to Old Yeller… ...and at that moment accepted him into my life as my Personal Savior. I always felt the same way: About the Germans. That’s because he’s a degenerate: Beatnik! You are not Henry Ford: II! Hypothetically: What’s it take? Doris Day: You’re not a Ford Man! Fizzy pop: He can get his own! I had forgotten: Downdraft Webers! Daytona! LeMans! Lugnuts, anyone? Racing footage of early 60s explains why old guys get excited about cars. Highly entertaining. One of the better racing movies. Check it out!

Knives Out James Bond: Clouseau! A Boy and His Dog: This just never gets old! High water pants: We get the job done! Lie detector: Ralph! I haven't read it, though: Nobody has! I think this is: The best thing that can happen! Mmmmmm: Donuts! Funny as ****. 1930s filmmaking at its finest! Sure Oscar for 007! Detectives just seem to thrive on over-the-top accents. Suitable for wife or girlfriend. Take the kids. By all means, Check it out! 

  Peanut Butter Solution Canadian Fu: Check! Haunted House Fu: Check! Wino Fu: I gave him some money--all that I had!  Pubes Fu: Don’t ask... Trigger Warning: Celine Dion Harum Scarum: Medical diagnosis! This is a classroom: Not a barber shop! Hello Little Girl: Want to come for a ride? Child trafficking/slave labor: 500 a day or we don’t eat! Hansel & Gretel Fu: check! Daddy Issues: Don’t get his pants dirty, it’s his only pair! Cute Dog: debatable. “There is no excuse for this film!” --- Woman introducing it at Alamo Drafthouse. AFAIK the only movie ever made in Canada. If you’ve never seen it, you may want to check it out or you may not. From the right point of view, one of the most horrific movies ever made.

Downhill Elaine! Check. Rickey Bobby! Check. Euro-Trash Girl: check. Ski lifts: check. Brushing teeth in different sinks: This is no movie, this is Cinema! I ran: To get help! ‘Shrooms: You texted? Tight muscles, it’s recommended: I could fuck you through a wall! Skiing is stupid: Yup! What we have here is Force Majeure turned into a Seinfeld episode by converting all the shudders into cringes.   I don’t get the remaking of foreign films. I don’t have a problem with retellings such as The Magnificent Seven or a Fistfull of Dollars , but reshoots of movies like The Femme Nikita or Girl with the Dragon Tattoo just baffle me. They lose all spark. If they want to avoid subtitles, why don’t they just dub them? Anyway, this is a flick about all the people you go to the movies to forget about. You may or may not want to check it out.

Call of the Wild Cujo meets Blade Runner: check! Who’s a spoiled doggy? Buck!!! Dogs sleep outside: But play the harmonica! Pony Express: 4-legged Cliff Clavin! Fired!: Replaced by technology. Buck the Twelve-Step Wonder Dog: Just say no! Buck finds his destiny: Avalanches, falls through ice, mean city slickers: check. Very exciting: at the end, all the eight-year-olds in the audience begin to clap. If you watch movies on the 8-y-o level (and reading this blog, I think we can agree that we all do) check it out!

  The Gentlemen Bring me a pint and a pickled egg: King Of The Jungle. The love that dare not speak its name: Oink. Jog on: Wine, Women, Disco. Crazy Rich Asians: For Phuc’s sake. How many Phuc jokes? Facilitate, not participate. He’s a gangster and a proper naughty boy: Do people really talk like that? A little bit absolute: Grammar check. I don’t have relationships with: Dead frozen Chinamen. Much better than I was expecting. I'm a big Guy Richie fan, but I thought it would be a David Niven style caper film. Instead it's a return to his roots. Check it out. Trigger warning: Movie failed to say where I could buy a plaid tracksuit.
