Tributary Stu

Blablablablablabla. And did I mention, bla! Movie of the Week Mother (1996) Some Monday Mother (1996): I’ve officially embarked on the Albert Brooks tour. As of today, I can’t really say whether it’s a tour I really like or not, but Mother was a pleasant surprise to begin with. The tagline really says a lot: no one… Read more

A blockbuster as the pick of the week, who’d have thunk it? Movie of the Week Thor: Ragnarok (2017) The forgotten one The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected) (2017): A good if not completely enthralling movie by Noah Baumbach, who keeps exploring themes around family and art. It’s one of those odd movies starring Adam Sandler… Read more

It’s all the same, day in, day out. Rinse and repeat. This week’s theme. Movie of the Week Groundhog Day (1993) February 2nd! Groundhog Day (1993): I had this memory, that Groundhog Day was a really awesome movie. Last time I saw it, I must have been in my early teens. It’s just one of those… Read more

So much forgettable in a single week, disgusting. That’s what holidays do to your movie watching habits! Movie of the Week Wind River (2017) Just before departure Better Watch Out (2016): This little slasher pic takes a few slasher tropes and turns them on their head, in the ironic way that appears to be the sole… Read more

Being productive while gaping away at the ripples of the Mediteranean is not that easy. Well, it’s easy, it just isn’t right, in a fundamentally existential way. That’s probably what Villeneuve and co. thought while making this movie of the weeks. Movie of the Weeks Blade Runner 2049 Some manic Monday Gerald’s Game (2017): This… Read more

It constantly feels like I’m a million weeks behind, but then I check out how many movies I’ve seen and the numbers are dismayingly small. Fact: it’s been less than 0.5 movies/day this year, which is a record low. Fact: there’s no obvious reason for it. Fact: what am I doing writing this in the… Read more

As this week will most likely have a negligible amount of film in it, I dare doing another split. I’ve kept traveling, so that’s my excuse, but there’s still been time for a couple of notches on the old cinematic belt. Movie of the Week The Big Sick (2017) It was a Monday An (2015): On… Read more

My long holiday has lead to this reviews penury, but I’m back in the saddle, being dragged by a loose wild horse. Which, I guess, I’ve been doing for over 3000 movies now. Yay! I haven’t spent too much time watching stuff, but you’ll still find a few worthwhile mentions in this summary. Movie of… Read more

I knew the day would come for me to squeeze in two weeks in one without writing excessively. Well, here it is. The day. Movie of the Weeks Sense and Sensibility (1995) Tuesday, the week before Dunkirk (2017): Nolan’s big war movie reintroduces that which set him apart in Memento (2000) – unusual time mechanics.… Read more

That went well. Still a week in retard, here we go. Movie of the Week Mulholland Dr. (2001) Monday Neruda (2016): I’ve had this one on my watch-list for what feels like an eternity – mainly because of the subject matter, but also as it starred Gael Garcia Bernal and was directed by Pablo Larrain,… Read more

I got lazy last week, so now I’ve got this unmanageable load of movies to get through. Shame on me, I guess. And it is a shame indeed, because a lot of the stuff was talk-worthy, even watch-worthy, but now they’ll seep through the cracks of overpopulation. So I’ll just split the last two weeks… Read more
