Time to mute! It's my monthly (though I lost a month in there) thread about the work we've done and the virtual passing of the hat. Let's start with Bill's (@flmfrkcentral) sensitive, essential, generally superlative take on Gary Sherman's LISA.https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2021/06/lisa.html#more …

After being blown away by Zach Snyder's JUSTICE LEAGUE - I was ready to love ARMY OF THE DEAD to find that it's just kind of an obnoxious, sometimes beat-for-beat, remake of ALIENS that, again, few people seemed to notice as such. Sometimes, I feel nuts.https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2021/05/army-of-the-dead.html#more …

Also not a huge fan of WOMAN IN THE WINDOW - not because it's occasionally an off-the-rails Joe Dante/Brian DePalma joint, but because it's not that enough. It's been a long time since prestige psychodrama like WHAT LIES BENEATH. Commit, you guys. Commit.https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2021/05/the-woman-in-the-window-2021-netflix.html#more …

Bill chimes in with another superlative take on childhood fave THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. I saw this movie annually for years as the only choice on Easter. Bill helps me want to watch it again.https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2021/05/the-ten-commandments-1956.html#more …

...and for as disappointed as I was by Angelina Jolie's long-anticipated (by me) return as action hero - here's this angry, vital emergence of a new bankable action movie star, Michael B. Jordan in WITHOUT REMORSE:https://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2021/04/without-remorse-1.html#more …

Oh, last one,
@JonnyCuartas's first film, MY HEART CAN'T BEAT UNLESS YOU TELL IT TO? It's beautiful. Mute, sad, shot through with so much despair and love. I was reminded a lot of Claire Denis' TROUBLE EVERY DAY. He's someone to watchhttps://www.filmfreakcentral.net/ffc/2021/06/my-heart-cant-beat-unless-you-tell-it-to.html#more …Show this thread
