Watched “In the Shadow of the Moon” last night. Was more of a sci-fi with heavy political subtext (not executed deftly as it could have been) than the lovecraftian influenced story I expected, but it’s probably for the best. Anyway, it used the times to try to create a positive message with some nifty sci-fi screenwriting. However, when three white dudes make a movie about subject matter that is specific to non-white Americans there is some taking-to-task that needs to be done, in good conscience lol.

Gonna drop my top ten of the year after I peep Ready or Not and a couple indie joints that caught my eye. It’s one of those years where I loved a lot of non-horror and wasn’t a fan of a lot of the more praised horror flicks. Even One Cut of the Dead shouldn’t really be categorized as such.

Can't argue with that. It was a supremely shallow ass 2 hours.
It wasn’t as meandering of a narrative as Enter the Void, and wasn’t as gratuitously fukked-up as Irreversible, nor was it as stupidly conceived as Love... but he seemed to be way too focused on technical aspects and mirroring his favorite filmmakers than having anything specific to say.

I gotta say though, that opening dance was awesome

Everything went downhill for me after the opening dance scene.
