Ballerina

★★★½ 11

A little bit John Wick 3.5 but mostly like its rageful little sister, Ana de Armas/Eve’s frantic resourcefulness and fiery outbursts feel extra brutal here in contrast to John’s anger that is almost a casual and calculated fact of life. I can’t be mad when the basic revenge plot is a thinly veiled excuse to indulge in flamethrower ballet and ice skate slicing, there’s some really impressive stuff in the third act especially that makes me think Len Wiseman might feel a little awkward having his name attached instead of someone else cough cough. And thank god for that. Keaton cameo!

This was a tough time of them figuring out the tone and direction of the franchise, but those issues aside I am still completely enchanted by Woo’s sweeping heroics and seductive visuals to the point that I teared up watching the beach fight because man his language of action is just so beautiful. I have a blast watching this and actually find the narrative quirks very easy to ignore! Just look at his hair!

Still think this sucks, not because it’s super fucked up or whatever but because it’s half a real movie and half self consciously dumb as shit in a way that renders the whole thing inert. Justin Long is still America’s princess though and I am glad James Laxton & Michael Parks went as hard as they did

We can observe a lot about fascism here and its seductive embrace but perhaps more important is that movies might be better when Tilda Swinton is playing all the lead male roles as well

It wants to… turn me into something else. That's not too terrible is it? Most people would give anything to be turned into something else.

Got at least 6-7 gleeful laughing fits out of this, any movie with hoop earrings on a werewolf is not getting a negative rating from me

There’s some fun practical effects work in here to turn Kristofer Hivju into Krampus, he has now ed Tim Curry in the highest ranks of sexy horned monster men. I have nothing further to say about the film
