EDDINGTON
A battle between a sheriff and a mayor destroys the town of Eddington during covid.
Early front runner in the Oscar race is a complete head scratcher. Ari Aster maybe an interesting guy to hear speak (I've seen him talk about other people's films) but he makes films that leave me wondering how he got funding. Yea this film is an effort to confront the issues faciung the world today but it's so obvious and messy thqat I can't believe anyone takes it serious.
Best of the Year? Oh hell no.
WEAPONS
This fragmented tale about the disappearance of kids late one night, supernatural powers and evil was billed as one of scariest films of the year. I giggled a lot. The performances by the kids are wildly uneven so by the time the film riffs a classic death from DAY OF THE DEAD with kids I was well past thinking of it as anything other than a comedy.
