Fantasia [1940]

Fantasia
variuous directors
1/2

This premiered just a couple of weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Weird, huh? At least this time around they cancelled Hitler II. I hope.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga
David Dobkin
1/10

Just like the actual ESC. Very disappointing. Had to turn it off.

Death Wish II
Michael Winner
3/5

It’s exactly the same as Death Wish!

My Beautiful Laundrette
Hanif Kureishi
3/6

Alita: Battle Angel
Robert Rodriguez
3/6

Possibly the widest uncanny valley I’ve ever seen. It’s terrifying! I’m going to have nightmares!

Local Hero
Bill Forsyth
4/6

A sweet little film, where nothing much happens, really.

Excalibur
John Boorman
5/7

Maybe I should’ve done this as a make/remake with Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Good stuff.

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Joel & Ethan Coen
5/7

Nice. Not just weird-for-the-sake-of-weird like the last umpteen Coen films.

Bound
The Wachowski Brothers
3/6

This is nothing like The Matrix!

Death Wish
Eli Roth
1/6

I don’t understand why they remake movies.
