Gunpowder Milkshake (2021)
Good action. Good characters. Good escapism.
100% escapist fare. It delivers on the action. The casting is primo. I didn't select this movie because I expected Oscar-worthy material. I've also seen enough action hero badass movies to know that they ALL take something from another action hero badass movie and make it their own. (Tarantino took his cue from Hong Kong action flicks. "John Wick" movies were spun from Park Chan-wook's vengeance films. And the beat goes on.) I hope they make a sequel. I also will be adding the Blu-ray or DVD of Gunpowder Milkshake to my film collection.
{By the way, all the carping and whining "woke", "feminist", "boring", "waste of time", "disappointing", "awful", "Jane Wick", etc., negative comments do seem to have a sense of one-track-mind collusion about them. I would not be surprised if the attack clones have been directed here from particular social media circles.}
Camp Belvidere (2014)
Surprisingly good.
I generally don't watch lesbian short films. My usual experience with them is that they're frustratingly amateurish, with poor production value and bad acting. I know that money is what makes any film possible, and that a short film is a compressed experience, but having a shoestring budget should not in and of itself result in low quality work. So I was pleasantly surprised by Camp Belvidere. With just 38 minutes to tell its story, it did so with rich visuals, a strong theme, decent performances, atmospheric soundtrack, and a compelling and satisfying plot. No film is perfect, and personal opinions are just that, but if you're in the mood for a lesbian romance film, Camp Belvidere is commendable.
