Watched

I watched this the other day and, either, I have no recollection of the end at all or this is nothing like what I experienced. I do remember having no interest in developing any sort of personal relationship with Delilah, so I don’t know if that is a factor?

Watched End of Days (1999) by an author from letterboxd.com
On 28 December 1999, the citizens of New York City are getting ready for the turn of the millennium. However, Satan decides to crash the party by coming to the city and searching for his chosen bride — a 20-year-old woman named Christine York. The world will end, and the only hope lies within an atheist named Jericho Cane.

I can’t really think of anything clever to say about this. Gabriel Byrne seems to be enjoying himself? Arnie manages to stay on the right side of earnest and glib without, for the most part, getting melodramatic. Though Robin Tunney has clearly not had that note.

It just blows my mind that with such rich source material, Dogma is still one of the better films inspired by Catholicism.

Watched Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) by an author from letterboxd.com
Three magazine employees head out on an assignment to interview a guy who placed a classified ad seeking a companion for time travel.

This is about 80% of the way to being a great “little film”. It’s telling 2.5 stories but only one of them really plays out and it doesn’t quite payoff.

★★½

Watched Murder by Numbers (2002) by an author from letterboxd.com
Tenacious homicide detective Cassie Mayweather and her still-green partner are working a murder case, attempting to profile two malevolently brilliant young men: cold, calculating killers whose dark secrets might explain their crimes.

It’s got Ryan Gosling in it!

★★½

Watched The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) by an author from letterboxd.com
Four years after Jurassic Park's genetically bred dinosaurs ran amok, multimillionaire John Hammond shocks chaos theorist Ian Malcolm by revealing that Hammond has been breeding more beasties at a secret location. Malcolm, his paleontologist ladylove and a wildlife videographer join an expedition to document the lethal lizards' natural behavior in this action-packed thriller.

This is so poorly plotted that it immediately caused confusion amongst my children and that, to be honest, says it all.

★★½
