Soul & Coco

Hadn't watched, bored, was curious. Coco, loved the animation, amazing. The stories - both of them, so formulaic and feel-good that there's no real point reviewing, but the animation was something else.

Bacurau

This, on the other hand, was a cleverly done movie out of Brazil. Not genius, merely some villagers discover some plotting to destroy their town, but strangely surreal, like out of a Borges novel.

Netflix Horror Movies

Yeah, come the end of the day I'm trying to find a decent horror movie, with absolutely no luck whatsoever. Netflix, for all it's offerings, is more about quantity than quality.

The Devil - M. Night Shyamalan, the "twists" have become predictable and boring, The Invitation, The Long Grass, The Ritual, 1BR, ... there were more, too many, more, at best - average - at worst - well, still average. Horror - I would think - with the number of contestants in the genre - should offer some intelligent diversions upon the theme, but none whatsoever. 

None of these deserve watching - or, really even mention - but I watched 'em so you don't have to. Meh.

I'm Thinking of Ending Things - Charlie Kaufman

Loved this. Smart, Grotesque, Brilliant. I don't precisely know how it ended up in the "Horror" Category, it's not, but it deals with visually/intellectually/ dense themes along the ideas of Memory, Age, Time. Typical Kaufman, and I can't pretend to understand even a fraction of it, but it will reward further viewings. Currently on Netflix.
