Wilder
(2000)

Incoherent and Bizarre but Fascinating
Really strange movie. Feels like a failed pilot and first two episodes of a television show that didn't get picked up and was repurposed into a film screenplay and cast with new actors. I've really never seen anything like it.

Strange editing choices (not entirely sure sometimes whether they were deliberate choices for style or the product of a rushed production or what); incomprehensible plot advances; dumbfounding choices made by the characters; if I had to place it in a genre I'd call it "TV Grindhouse" - a genre both created and killed in a single product.

Overall I would say this is worth watching just to try to parse it.

The Machine
(2023)

Tries something different.
I have never seen any of Bert Kreischer's standup, and honestly didn't find his performance necessarily compelling - nor did I find the overall progression of the story/how it is edited together to be overwhelmingly unique, but movie itself has a lot of interesting choices in it and I find them to be redeeming; a few overly-slick production flourishes, but also some which are very creative and frankly surprising. In some ways I am reminded of Weird Al's UHF - it's absolutely absurd at times and sometimes the fun of that spirit is pretty palpable. Definitely not what I expected.

I consider it worth trying.

Whatever It Takes
(1998)

Only one lens
I'm pretty sure they only had a single lens to use for this production WHY IS EVERY SHOT SO TIGHT

If anyone who had anything to do with the production of this ever reads this review please contact me somehow.
