"Bill Burr: Paper Tiger" dir. by Mike Binder




"Bill Burr: Paper Tiger"
If you didn't cancel your Netflix subscription after the Chappelle special, here's your second chance. Bill Burr has created a character, whether he's chosen to do so or as he points out ("where is this coming from?") was created through a lifetime of unfortunate circumstances. Either way it's a character. The character is this: a middle aged white man who can see through all the bullshit of political correctness and is beyond furious that the rest of the world "is too afraid" to follow suit. Well again like Chappelle, the dude has some fair points... but at the same time his "character" stunts him from doing much with those points. An interesting moment that stood out beyond all the jokes was when Burr asked the audience "what do you do with women who like rough sex?" and an audience member replied "ask for consent." Burr's first response was "but doesn't that ruin the moment?" and while saying this he backtracked and proceeded to lambaste the audience member for "twisting" his words. "You see what happens, you're not hearing what I'm saying. I wasn't talking about consent." Actually... it sounds more like Burr didn't hear himself say that asking for consent would take him out of the "moment." What a douche. This guy should be booking shows at frat houses.
3/10

"The Cursed" dir. by Sean Ellis

"The Cursed" Random pick from Amazon Prime, this actually turned out to be a pretty amazing film. "The Cursed" is a gothic horror set in the late 1800s. After slaughtering and stealing land from a Roma clan, a curse is unleashed on the family and village responsible for the aforementioned atrocities. This film is another one that I'd recommend knowing as little about as possible. It's no secret that this film taps into the werewolf lore that most are familiar with, however it takes some completely new approaches and pushes some serious boundaries in terms of violence and gore. Outside of Boyd Holbrook's awful British accent there wasn't much to not like about this film. It's shot gorgeously and the pacing is somewhere between slow and medium at first but ramps up quite a bit in the last third. 8/10

"Mutant" dir. by John "Bud" Cardos

"Mutant" Forget every vibe you get from the title and poster, this is a zombie movie. "Mutant" is the story of two city bois who go to a small country town to relax and party hard. Nearing the small town they are driven off the road by the local yokels and are forced to hitchhike the rest of the journey with a weird man named Mel who claims that there are aliens visiting the town. Mel is straight up lying to the two city slickers as he damn well knows that he's the root of the problem as he's been experimenting on the townsfolk by slathering them in toxic waste. The end result of Mel's sloppy experimentations is that the town turns into zombies and yep the city bois gotta stay alive long enough for the movie to end. For some reason this movie has a cult following and I'm not sure why. It's got horrible production value, the acting is along the lines of those Italian cannibal movies I just watched and the story is weak even for a zombie movie. Wha...

"Samaritan" dir. by Julius Avery

"Samaritan" Where I watched it: Prime I always appreciate the idea that some people are interested in making/watching superhero movies that are not connected in some way to the Marvel or DC universe. It's kinda rare of course but it does happen... M. Night Shyamalan made his attempt with the Unbreakable trilogy as did James Gunn with Brightburn. That being said, its a difficult task when you're up against films with colossal budgets that have an already hugely established fan base. It requires very outside of the box thinking. I think that's why Brightburn succeeded and the Unbreakable trilogy felt a little too much like a knockoff. A film that tried to think outside the box by taking a test drive in the POV/found footage lane was Chronicle, which was ultimately a garbage movie but I do appreciate the attempts that were made to do their own thing (while doing the exact same things every superhero movie before it did). Samaritan falls into the category of "E f...
