Vanquish (2021) - Movie Review


What makes a film “good”? What objective metric is there to judge whether a film qualifies as being “good” art? Does such a metric even exist? I have to ponder questions like these when I look at just about any film on here, and even though I am fully aware that “good” and “enjoyable” aren’t necessarily the same thing, I do try and highlight aspects of a film that work/don’t work when I’m mainly okay/not okay with the film as a whole, just to keep things balanced. And then I run into something like this, where whatever actual praise I can muster for it feels like I’m just insulting it even further, since all that talent is being buried by everyone else fucking up.

The Comeback Trail (2020) - Movie Review

How’s this for justifying a remake: It’s impossible to get a copy of the original.

Okay, not impossible, but in attempting to do background work for this new feature, I failed to find a way to watch the 1982 Harry Hurwitz original, legally or otherwise. And judging by the numbers onLetterboxd, I’m not the onlyone having trouble getting this thing. I’d make a joke about this being a literal ‘it’s better than nothing’ situation… but honestly, I’m a bit torn on that notion.
