March 6th Directed by: Lee Chang-dong I feel like I've seen a few movies like this one, I'm reminded of Norte, The End of History (check it out) but I do feel like this film does some stuff different. This is one of those films that doesn't do a lot of talking, and leaves you to wonder what's going on in the character's heads in the extended silences. I appreciate long, lingering takes and Burning has an incredibly relaxed atmosphere because of it, even moreso than say, a Tsai Ming-liang film. There's a difference between slow and relaxed and this film is relaaaxed. There's a lot at work here, it's actually kind of amazing how complex I feel this film to be. It's wholly original, a memorable experience, I kind of want to watch it again right now to see what details I pick up on on a second watch. Blu-Ray.

March 5th Directed by: Steven Spielberg I don't think I've ever seen a movie with such clearly well thought-out action scenes. Never could I picture a storyboard so well. Every shot is in service to the next one, and in establishing elements to make the scene make sense. It's fucking beautiful, I'm so impressed. Classic American filmmaking, folks. Anyhow, other than that, this is one of those movies that I've never actually seen, but once I see it... I've seen it. Practically every scene has been put in my brain by way of parody or tribute. It's simply a classic, it's unforgettable scene after unforgettable scene, and it's filled with grotesque imagery that will stick with a child FOREVER. Be it snakes, skulls, skulls with snakes coming out of them or just the fact that Indiana Jones murders like 50 dudes. This is the stuff that kids are missing presently. Downloaded.

March 4th, 2019 Story mode was shit, single player content in general is pretty shit. Game plays fine. I'm just not passionate about this one like I was V or the ones on PS2.

March 4th Directed by: Hirokazu Koreeda Koreeda is a master of little details, small gestures, everyday items, and this film, his second fiction feature, displays and maybe explains his philosophy regarding details. What a wonderful concept, the recently deceased must choose one memory to hang onto for eternity. Rather than an event, more often than not we find characters choosing a moment, something the living might find insignificant, be it a feeling, a smell, a glance, we get to know a vast array of characters intimately, quickly, based on the tiniest things. The film itself is dark, quiet, slow and it's themes are consistent throughout. I like that After Life was the last of Koreeda's fiction films I've gotten to, it's made me realize so much about his cinema and that he is one of the greatest filmmakers alive. Downloaded.

March 3rd Directed by: Hirokazu Koreeda If Still Walking was Koreeda's Ozu sendup, this surely has to be his Kurosawa film. When your film is about a bunch of people in suits talking to each other you have be creative with the blocking. This is no High and Low or The Bad Sleep Well but it's very good. Not often, but sometimes I am in the mood for a dark, serious, slow crime drama and if you ever find yourself in that mood this might just be the perfect... one of those. Downloaded.
