Swiss Army Man

Swiss Army Man is a weird movie. It makes a valid point, but the presentation is pretty rudimentary.

Swiss Army Man didn't pique my interest when I saw the trailer for it. I think any reviews I saw about it said it was "okay," which certainly didn't motivate me to see it. When I started watching it, I was pleasantly surprised to see that it starred Paul Dano. I remembered that Daniel Radcliffe was in it.

They kind of beat you over the head with the theme that we're really all the same, and we all do embarrassing things that wouldn't be embarrassing if we would stop making people feel bad for doing them. It's a valid idea, but the way in which it was conveyed wasn't terribly entertaining.

2010

I'm not really sure what anyone was supposed to get out of 2010, the sequel to 2001. It was just kind of weird.

I didn’t really have any interest in seeing 2010 (the sequel to 2001), and I was really tired when I watched it, so pretty much the entire time I was just waiting for it to be over. It was kind of weird.

Super

This movie was weird. Liv Tyler was super pretty. Ellen's character was completely unlikable, and Rainn's wasn't terribly far behind. It was interesting to see it play out, though.

Coraline

Bizarre, creepy, and not entirely appropriate for children.

Sukiyaki Western Django

In terms of this being a Miike film, it's actually a little disappointing. Maybe the fact that this is a classic Japanese story, told as a Western, set in "Nevada-Utah," with Japanese actors who are speaking a language they don't know (English), was weird enough that he decided the story itself should be normal. It was a little surreal to need subtitles on something in English. The movie doesn't seem to have a whole lot to say, and it's probably better if you've seen Yojimbo and/or Django, but aside from a few disturbing things happening, it's interesting for aesthetics alone.

Army of Darkness

Weird. I don't like weird movies. This one wasn't scary though, and I don't like scary movies, so it has that going for it. It was cool to finally hear all of the quotes, but aside from that, like so many series, they should've stopped earlier. I can see why people like the series as a whole, though.
