Filth (2013) Jon S. Baird

[cultmoodymovies]

Shame this movie is hidden behind a s***** streaming service paywall.

It all began with a guy named Alexey Leonidovich Pajitnov, four years ago [1984]. By day, he worked as a programmer for the government at the Soviet Computer Science Center. But by night, he invented games for fun.

His computer, a Stone Age, Soviet peace of crap called an Electronika 60, didn’t even have a graphics card. His falling blocks were parentheses pushed together.

Alexey and a couple of buddies from work made the game IBM compatible. Which meant color graphics, 8-bit music and floppy disks that people copied and shared for free. It spread like wildfire.

Tetris (15): In Pursuit of the Soviet Blocks (sic)!

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Tetris" on #AppleTV. #TetrisMovie. A solidly entertaining cold war thriller based on a true story. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Tetris” (2023). I missed this Apple+ offering when it came out last year (as I did with “Blackberry”, which is also on my catch-up list!). Whizzing us back to the heady days of 1984 and a Russia where Mikhael Gorbachev is stuggling to hang onto power, this is a wonderful little film. Who knew that a movie about the licensing of Tetris gaming rights and the…

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (15): Sprawling Western Spectacle.

#onemannsmovies #filmreview of "Horizon: An American Saga - Part 1". #Horizonsaga. Kevin Costner's epic western is ambitious and, despite flaws, entertaining. 3.5/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” (2024). There I was, just two weeks ago reviewing “The Dead Don’t Hurt“, and I was bemoaning that “There are too few good Westerns around these days”. Then along comes the first episode of Kevin Costner’s ambitious “Horizon” quadrilogy. It is ambitious. It is very long. But its an impressive piece of work. Bob the Movie Man…

Friday Releases for June 20

Friday is the busiest day of the week for new releases, so we’ve decided to collect them all in one place. Friday Releases for June 20 include 28 Years Later, Inside, Found Footage, and more.

28 Years Later

28 Years Later, the new movie from Danny Boyle, is out today.

It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

Inside

Inside, the new movie from Charles Williams, is out today.

After being transferred from juvenile to adult prison, Mel Blight is taken under the wing of Mark Shepard, a despised criminal, and Warren, a near-parole inmate. As a paternal triangle grows between them, we see that even the worst of men have a little bit of good inside that will be their undoing.

Found Footage

Found Footage, the new movie from Max Tzannes, is out today.

An acclaimed documentary crew quickly realizes they have triggered a real and terrifying rampage when sinister phenomena begin to unfold as they chronicle a budding filmmaker as he creates the world’s greatest “found footage” horror film on Bigfoot.

Alma & the Wolf

Alma & the Wolf, the new movie from Michael Patrick Jann, is out today.

After a violent animal attack, paranoia spreads through Spiral Creek. But when Deputy Ren Accord gets too close, his son vanishes, and reality begins to fracture.

Elio

Elio, the new movie from Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian, and Domee Shi, is out today.

A space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession, Elio’s all in for an epic undertaking when he’s beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide. When Elio is mistakenly identified as Earth’s leader, he must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who and where he is truly meant to be.

Everything’s Going To Be Great

Everything’s Going To Be Great, the new movie from Jon S. Baird, is out today.

There’s no business like show business — for Buddy and Macy Smart (Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney) that means an unpredictable life in regional theater while trying to raise their radically different sons, Lester and Derrick. Through it all, Buddy pursues his unstoppable dreams, and Macy is left to pull it all together and keep the family afloat. As the family grapples with identity and belonging, they share a humorous and heartfelt journey of self-discovery, learning the power of owning your spotlight, no matter what stage of life you’re in.

Familiar Touch

Familiar Touch, the new movie from Sarah Friedland, is out today.

Ruth (Kathleen Chalfant), a retired cook, prepares breakfast in her sunny and cozy kitchen — a dish she seems to have made many times before, although small and puzzling errors now punctuate her comfortable routine. When her son (H. Jon Benjamin) arrives to dine with her, she mistakes him for a suitor. Their “date” takes them to an assisted living facility, which Ruth does not remember that she had previously selected for herself. Among her fellow memory care residents, Ruth feels lost and adrift, certain she has found herself somewhere she does not belong. As she slowly begins to accept the warmth and support of care workers Vanessa (Carolyn Michelle) and Brian (Andy McQueen), she finds new ways to ground herself in her body, even as her mind embarks on a journey all its own.

After Light Fades

After Light Fades, the new game from Orchid of Redemption and Lamplight Forest, is out today.

Solve, evolve, and let go. In this mystical, magical sokoban puzzle journey, each artefact you master must eventually be left behind. Explore seven emotionally resonant fantasy worlds, casting away artefacts tied to grief, memory, and transformation.
