Wow, just wow.
Demi Moore and the creative team behind 'The Substance' should win every category/genre award possible in 2024 for this dark, twisted, all-too-familiar and all-too-human gem.
Reading the description and watching the trailer, you might think 'Alright, Cronenbergian body horror with a twist, meh, I've seen it before, I wonder why Demi Moore's in it.'
Just do yourselves a favor and watch it. It's absolutely mesmerizing. It starts with exactly what you expect and then deviates deliciously. The final act goes all out gonzo and will not appeal to all, but what a ride.
After a lifetime of watching horror movies, I either tune out quickly or kinda watch with interest or artifically maintained suspense. This one though, this one.
Amazing, grotesque close-up photography, a hell of a dark take on TV execs by Dennis Quaid and Qualley is equal parts breath-taking and chilling.
Read this as parents vs children, boomers vs youth, TV-self versus the real, no matter your take, you are never forgetting The Substance.

Horizon does not reinvent the wheel nor did it ever promise that it was going to.
It is a beautifully shot, expansive, very much 'old Hollywood' type of western, that carries Kevin Costner's DNA through-and-through. If you've enjoyed his previous movies, you are going to love this.
I cried in a couple of sequences, to me it felt superior to both Open Range and Wyatt Earp. Does not come close to 'Dances With Wolves' but this is a different story altogether. When all four films have been completed, it may even surpass Costner's magnum opus.
Thoroughly enjoyable, do catch this at the biggest screen possible. The photography is to-die-for, the music is quite evocative and the ensemble cast works really well together.
Sometimes great movies are the simplest ones.

I snubbed this on release, putting it down to yet another shameless cash grab on the glory days.
Boy, was I glad I was wrong.
Just watch the first five minutes of this and if you have a heart, if you have lived, loved and lost, you will be hooked.
Like Californication's best episodes, with an emphasis on the drama, this is an uncompromising look at a side of life very few men get to experience. It details the spiritual damage incurred by what many would consider to be a 'dream life' and it does so with an unparalleled sense of style and grace.
Excellent writing and a poignant soundtrack conjure up rare magic for men of a certain make and vintage.
