Matt BirchlerMovie #18: Old
I hadn't considered changing servers would break my movies thread, but here we are 🙃
Movie #23: Albulance
For the record, it's movie day at the Birchler household because I feel sick and don't want to do anything else.
Also, Patrick Willems has a great video that I watched afterwards and made me appreciate this one even more. https://youtu.be/vlEEjHWJhyY
Patrick Explains AMBULANCE (And Why It's Great)
Movie #33: Full Time (À Plein Temps)
Had to watch something a bit more down to earth after binging on a few action blockbusters in a row 😂
Movie #38: Avatar: The Way of Water
Cameron blew me away.
Oh, and it’s a shame the digital version is presented at a fixed 24fps. I don’t know if I would have liked it much, and I know it was in the theatrical release to help 3D screenings feel better, but would have been nice to have the option.
Movie #34: Evil Dead Rise
To my great shame, this is actually the first Evil Dead movie I’ve seen.
Movie #39: Contagion
BTW I make these mini reviews using https://quickreviews.app ✌️
Movie #41: The Evil Dead
I decided to stop watching the series in reverse and get to the start.
Movie #42: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
It’s a coincidence, but it’s honestly perfect that this was my 42nd movie of the year.

alex.tm@matt Glad you enjoyed this! I need to rewatch them soon, Army of Darkness is so ridiculous and fun. And as I mentioned before, check out the TV show Ash vs. Evil Dead when you finish the films, it’s really good.
Albert Kinng 
@matt Great one!
Javier Gallén 
@matt Watch the making of if you can, because is as fun as the movie itself. Although it is known that this was a low budget movie, the level of precariousness mixed with the genius of that 20 year old Sam Raimi is just outstanding.
@ideimos I just know a bit about the filming process, but I’ll seek out a bit more. It definitely felt scrappy. You could tell they were getting the most out of very little, and they were having fun doing it.
Stan James 🏳️🌈@matt I watched Contagion at the height of the pandemic (because of course I did) and found it interesting in comparing what they got right (quite a lot) and what they didn't. I can see how the pseudo-documentary feel of it might put some people off, though.
@stanjames Haha yeah, I’m deep on Soderbergh, so the style didn’t bother me, it just didn’t…click for whatever reason. Happens 😁
@matt It's a weird film to watch now. I wonder how I would have reacted to it if I'd seen it originally in the quaint old time of 2011? Supposedly Soderbergh is working on a sequel, though I have no idea how that would work, other than the title absolutely *must* be Contagion 2: Pandemic Boogaloo.

Hiro@matt Are you using an app for your reviews or is this something you rolled on your own? They look great!
Wil Turner@matt Michelle Rodriguez FTW
Andy@matt I ended up being pleasantly surprised by Air. Thought it was way better than it had any right to be
Ugo@matt saw it yesterday!
Kit
Cory Birdsong@matt ‼️
You need to remedy this.
@matt If/when you end up watching the originals, make sure you include the tv series Ash vs. Evil Dead too, it might be my favourite part of the franchise tbh.
Granneman 😡@matt They are all great, so you are in for a treat! I also recommend the Ash vs Evil Dead TV show.
RG@matt Love these sharp yet complete reviews.
@ravigupta Thank you!
@matt this is a great movie.

Ben Thomas (he/him)@matt I fall into the same category - huge fan of the trilogy.
I’m not sure how it’s happened but my Wife and I quote Hot Fuzz to each other almost daily 😂
@Beetee Oh yeah, same here 😂
“Yarp” and “narp”
“Stop this mindless violence!”
“You’re off the fucking chain!”
“Here come the fuzz”
“A BIG BUSHY BEARD”
Not a day goes by without at least one of those.
Alex Barredo 📉@matt it's SO GOOD
@Barredo I was really not prepared to love it! The first movie was fine, but this one was incredible. One of the rare 3 hour movies that made me check the time remaining and wish there was a bit more.
Tim Chaten@matt so sad there isn’t a HFR 3D release for VR headsets would be incredible - maybe - Apple can snag that?! Incredible in theaters. As a new father this movie hit hard watching in theaters at that time
Nathan Snelgrove@matt the HFR here was used sparingly. I’d estimate 40% of the film was HFR. I’m not anti HFR, but I despised the constant swaps (often many times in one scene). They were noticeable and distracting, and I’m still mad my money was conned out of me. Not worth it.
Nate Barham@matt I also watched this recently, for the first time, and enjoyed it a lot. I did find the dialogue levels very difficult to follow throughout, which mostly just bummed me out because it was all so well done that I didn’t want to miss anything.
Simone Rizzo@matt I watched it recently and it’s fresh and remarkable (I’m new to Dune however).
ravi@matt Florian Zeller? Am I missing something 🤔
@ravipatel Nope, you have caught an oversight in my post 🤦♂️ Fixed!
eiffair@matt Didn’t think recent French movies where reaching overseas audience.
