i love these videos and i feel like i use them as a marker of time because it throws me off with how quickly a month will go by when i see a new one has been uploaded
I know that Bound is genuinely popular with the queer community, but the film community finally appreciating it makes me feel so great. Great review Karsten!!
Dude, The Hunt is one of my favourite movies! Brilliant performances from all involved, beautiful to look at and deals with this kind of topic perfectly.
Nice list you got there, Karsten. Anyways, here's what I watched this month: • Wrestlemania 39: Night One [7/10] • Wrestlemania 39: Night Two [6.5/10] • Hunter [7/10] • Have A Nice Day [8.5/10] • Straight Outta Comptom [9/10] • The Lego Movie [10/10] • Super Mario Bros.

I loved Another Round. The ending had me sobbing with the 👓+🌹 scene. It’s definitely one of my faves. I’ve been putting off Mads’s The Hunt & Charlie countryman movies but I’ll eventually get to them. I’ve seen too many tiktoks of hos characters to not watch them

the hunt is peak mads mikkelsen, and im SO glad they didn't go with their original ending because that just felt SO BAD. the vagueness of what they went with is perfect.
Karsten thank you so much for introducing me to The Wolf House. It instantly became one of my favorite films, and instant 10/10 to me. It deserves to be much more talked about than it is.
I watched a lot of Middle Eastern films in April, because it was Arab American Heritage Month. My faves: Cairo Station, Captain Abu Raed, City of Life, The Idol, and Peace by Chocolate. In theatres I watched Air, Enys Men (WTF?!), Paint, Renfield, and Selena (flashback cinema offering). Thank you for mentioning Erin Brockovich. It really holds up.
Wait there isn't any ambiguity to the conflict in The Hunt. Are people actually walking away from the movie thinking he actually did it? The whole theme is the destruction and hostility that follows a person falsely accused of such an act. The tagline for the film is literally "The lie is spreading."
Once Upon a Time in America - Extended Director's Cut (5/5) Literally the only movie I was compelled to watch last month. Not an easy time to watch movies when you're finishing your own. Still going to watch movies like Sisu and Beau is Afraid once I have free time.
Beau is Afraid blew me away this month. It was my first time seeing a movie in theaters by myself and it was so surreal. Saw it in theaters twice. Also watched Synecdoche New York for the first time a couple days ago, which surprisingly felt like kind of a similar movie, but it was also brilliant. Then I topped the month off with The Master last night, featuring both Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. A good month :)
I'd recommend "Children Who Chase Lost Voices" as well, being it too is feature length compared to his shorter pieces and a really interesting story exploring loss and those feeling is a world away from our own.
3:22 It's been several years since I've seen The Hunt, but I don't remember much vagueness in the story. I recall it being a pretty straight forward (but really good and effective) depiction of mass hysteria?
I saw The Year Between at the Milwaukee film festival and loved it! I thought it was an empathetic view of somebody going through a crisis that didn't excuse her behavior but didn't condemn her for it either. Deeply meaningful.
This might be a hot take, but I don't consider Baby J to be a big departure from John Mulaney's earlier work. He was talking about lying to a doctor in order to get a prescription for Xanax in his very first Netflix special. I enjoyed Baby J, but I just don't think it's a huge change from his comedy of the past.
What I watched in April: Goodfellas The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) The Lord of the Rings The Two Towers The Super Mario Bros Movie Princess Mononoke (again) Oz The Great and Powerful Inside out (again) Monsters University (again) Good Will Hunting (again) Jaws Shrek (again) Yesterday Birdman (or the unexpected virtue of ignorance)
You can’t be mad at the Spielberg documentary just because you saw Fabelmans previously, the documentary came out years before the film so you may have a different outlook on it if you put Fabelmans aside
What I watched this April: Marcel (4.5/5) Super Mario (4/5) Hereditary rewatch (5/5) The Lighthouse rewatch (5/5) Living (5/5) Midsommar (4/5) MH370 Netflix (1.5/5) Eva {Malaysia} (3/5) Villa Nabila {Malaysia} (4/5)
Hard to believe Barry and Succession are both ending AND are somehow still at the top of their game. Of course, I would rather they ended at the top than keep going and likely get much worse.
Grade: Movie (All first timers): A: Tar -- I recognize some flaws, but it is likely a top 20 of all time for me. Loved the pacing and storytelling. C+: The Super Mario Movie -- Conflicted on this, it didn't meet my already low expectations, which is sad because it had a couple aspects which really shined. B: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves -- Beat my expectations, was fun and surprisingly got some laughs from me. A: 101 Dalmatians -- Wow, this movie holds up well. Incredible vibes and animation.
My April watches: Dead Ringers- 4.5/5 Rye Lane- 4/5 Of an age- 3.5/5 More than ever- 4/5 Raw- 5/5 Ant man and the Wasp: Quantumania- 1/5 Raincoat- 4.5/5 I also watched the miniseries Beef, Tiny beautiful things, Pokemon Origins, Pokemon generations, Pokemon Twilight wings, new episodes of Ted Lasso, Extrapolations, The big door prize and Schmigadoon s2, Mohanagar s2 (a Bengali language show in my home country), Pokemon Horizons and 6 short films. Beef and Raw are the best things I've watched while Quantumania is the absolute worst.
If you’re finding the end of Succession hard my advice is watch Peep Show. It’s Jesse Armstrong original creation and an absolute British tv staple. The comedy and writing are absolutely brilliant like succession and it’s like a sitcom so an incredibly easy watch

This month I watched a bunch of David Lynch stuff including all of Twin Peaks and FWWM! I'm super excited to start the The Return but I think I'm gonna get through his filmography before I actually begin to watch it. Only a few movies left!
I've been watching Heroes and Hannibal series. Just finished the first season of Hannibal and it's really captivating - can't wait what else they have in store for these characters. Heroes on the other hand... feels like a mess to be honest. I really liked the premiss of the show and how it started to unravel itself at first, but things are just becoming more uninteresting and messier as the show progresses... Maybe there is a great ending that justifies everything - will see.
There's only one film I remember watching this month, and that was a rewatch of See How They Run. I'd seen it in the cinema, this time was watching at home with my parents. Still loved it, it was fascinating for a second watch knowing everything in advance. I did miss the cinema experience a bit with all the split frame shots. The humour was still great, Saoirse Ronan was still so loveable, the sets and colourgrading were beautiful. I haven't seen many, but I still thoroughly believe it's better than any Wes Andersen film despite it not being a Wes Andersen film.
The best part about Dungeons and Dragons is that there's a scene where an item suddenly becomes super useful in a really contrived way that WOULD be lazy writing, but because works here because that's what happens when the DM is trying to rerail the campaign his band of idiots just ruined.
My favorite watch this month had to be How to Blow up a Pipeline. I care a lot about environmental activism but this was also just such a good heist movie. No other movie has sat with my quite as long as this one
but but but what did YOuuUuUuUu watch this month?!!?

Ikr, so surreal to see in theaters alone too. Underrated considering the amount of people that don't like it.
Best sleep I ever got in a theater
@@ELTIGERBLOOD damn that sucks for you
@@ELTIGERBLOOD I'm pretty sure they did a psychiatric study on audience participants and determined that that means you're psychologically deranged.
Still very much hung up on it
I love The Hunt! Mads Mikkelsen blew me away with his performance, especially in that church scene.
Great movie. Hope you watched it in danish
Absolutely incredible film indeed
This April was the first month I watched a film everyday. That makes me happy.
That’s amazing! What movies did you watch? I‘ve always wanted to watch a movie everyday but I never manage.
@@mariam19554 a mix of random action, dramas, and Italian horror films. The highlights however were the fact that I watched Jackie Chan's Police Story and Scorsese's Goodfellas for the first time.
Can’t wait for your 1 hour video on Succession.
Barry deserves so much more recognition then it has gotten, I'm not afraid to say that it's one of the best tv shows ever made.
yes
No, it sucks
Same here. The acting is top-notch.
Completely agree. Best series right now
@@aidanlastname0187 why do you think so? i have never watched the show just want to hear why its controvercial
The Hunt is such a fantastic film, watched it years ago when it came out and it stayed with me ever since, especially that final scene.
I really wanna see Beau is Afraid…but I already know it’ll throw me in for a loop like Midsommar did💀
Watch it. It's so good!
It’s so different but still sooooo fucked.
@@jeremyusreevu237 I should be able to catch in cinemas today or tomorrow!
@@skyblaster2366 based on Joaquin Phoenix’s PSA to not take mushrooms before I watch…I can only imagine 😅
@@JordanNMovies i saw it with my mom and oh my god i should have seen evil dead instead
i love these videos and i feel like i use them as a marker of time because it throws me off with how quickly a month will go by when i see a new one has been uploaded
The wolf house is so good. The asmr like audio is really chilling especially when it's paid with it's visuals
The Hunt is absolutely Mads Mikkelsen's best movie. He is so fantastic in that movie!
Thank you another monthly review Karsten. Very appreciated. You're the best.
showing up was my first reichardt movie and i’m happy to say it DID win me over and is currently my favorite movie of the year so far!!!
I know that Bound is genuinely popular with the queer community, but the film community finally appreciating it makes me feel so great. Great review Karsten!!
i always look forward to this every month
I'm really living for seeing André 3000 acting at the moment. What a great guy to see in a movie.
The Wolf House is sooo underrated. It's gorgeous but the story is so sad.
one of the most unsettling films ive ever seen
Dude, The Hunt is one of my favourite movies! Brilliant performances from all involved, beautiful to look at and deals with this kind of topic perfectly.

Having just recently rewatched Twin Peaks myself, The Return is so much better as you aren't waiting for you know what to happen.

The Fugitive is my favorite movie of all time, and it made me so happy to see someone talk about it
the hunt is peak mads mikkelsen, and im SO glad they didn't go with their original ending because that just felt SO BAD. the vagueness of what they went with is perfect.
I don't know if i'm crazy but I already saw beau is afraid twice in theaters and I'm genuinely considering a third time
I admire ur bravery
Same here, considering a third so I can get that theater experience one last time before the opportunity is gone forever
Same. It’s my favorite film of all time
@@Mattman0106 do it bro!
Dude is addicted to the penis monster
Didn't watch as many movies this month because i binged succession and its great
Sameeee
Same
Ah man The Fugitive is so magnetic and tense but so dopey at the same time. Only something that could have come out of the 90s - I love it!
saw air with my mom & brother on the one year anniversary of my father’s passing. loved it!
This month I rewatched the grand Budapest hotel right after watching requiem for a dream and American history x
I'm so glad you watched the Wolf House, it's such an interesting movie that doesn't get the recognition it deserves
Karsten thank you so much for introducing me to The Wolf House. It instantly became one of my favorite films, and instant 10/10 to me. It deserves to be much more talked about than it is.

The hunt is my favorite movie. Good one on you for watching that
Succession continues to knock it out of the park. Might be the best season of the show
The more Beau is Afraid keeps getting positive feedback the more I feel bad its bombing as badly as it is in the box office
Bill Hader is going to hell for this last season of Barry. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?
your description of air is too perfect bc i didn’t want to see it and my dad made me go with him and then i ended up having a good time 😭
Jan Itor steals every scene in The Fugitive
Once Upon a Time in America - Extended Director's Cut (5/5)
Literally the only movie I was compelled to watch last month. Not an easy time to watch movies when you're finishing your own.
Still going to watch movies like Sisu and Beau is Afraid once I have free time.
Beau is Afraid blew me away this month. It was my first time seeing a movie in theaters by myself and it was so surreal. Saw it in theaters twice.

Thank you! Great movie picks, now I have things to watch in may and June 🎉
thank you for talking about my favourite show barry!!🎉
I just discovered Makoto Shinkai this month and greatly enjoyed Your Name, Weathering With You, and Suzume!
I'd recommend "Children Who Chase Lost Voices" as well, being it too is feature length compared to his shorter pieces and a really interesting story exploring loss and those feeling is a world away from our own.

My favorite person on UA-cam look forward to every video
Karsten still avoiding Better Call Saul as I can see
Happy May Fools! 🎉
Wut?
This might be a hot take, but I don't consider Baby J to be a big departure from John Mulaney's earlier work. He was talking about lying to a doctor in order to get a prescription for Xanax in his very first Netflix special. I enjoyed Baby J, but I just don't think it's a huge change from his comedy of the past.
Just one thing: thank you for convincing me to watch Barry.
best thing to watch right after a final exam
I was not ready for Barry episode 4
D&D is my second favourite film of the year. I just watched Rye Lane today and it was endlessly charming.

You can’t be mad at the Spielberg documentary just because you saw Fabelmans previously, the documentary came out years before the film so you may have a different outlook on it if you put Fabelmans aside
It is criminal how underrated the wolf house is.
I have visited the place where Betty blue was filmed a million times, I have actually stayed in that exact house as well!
i can’t wait to see what karsten watched in april!
I had a blast with the new Mario Bros movie. Not a super deep film but it's just a lot of fun.
I'm still not recovered from episode 4 of Barry season 3.
What I watched this April:
Marcel (4.5/5)
Super Mario (4/5)

Living (5/5)
Midsommar (4/5)
MH370 Netflix (1.5/5)

The Fugitive should be 4.5/5 instead of 3.5/5???

Beef and Raw are the best things I've watched while Quantumania is the absolute worst.
beau is afraid just pissed me off LMAO. it was such an incredibly unsatisfying movie 😭
You should watch The Celeberation, the influences on Succession are pretty clear
Barry and Succession back to back is, like scorcese would say, cinema.
THE FUGITIVE ROCKS OMG
It made me sad to see Spielberg only get 2 1/2, but it has been a long while since I’ve last seen it and I have yet to see The Fabelmans too.
instant start from praising Erin Brockovich => instant like!
If you’re finding the end of Succession hard my advice is watch Peep Show. It’s Jesse Armstrong original creation and an absolute British tv staple. The comedy and writing are absolutely brilliant like succession and it’s like a sitcom so an incredibly easy watch

This month I watched a bunch of David Lynch stuff including all of Twin Peaks and FWWM! I'm super excited to start the The Return but I think I'm gonna get through his filmography before I actually begin to watch it. Only a few movies left!
I've been watching Heroes and Hannibal series. Just finished the first season of Hannibal and it's really captivating - can't wait what else they have in store for these characters. Heroes on the other hand... feels like a mess to be honest. I really liked the premiss of the show and how it started to unravel itself at first, but things are just becoming more uninteresting and messier as the show progresses... Maybe there is a great ending that justifies everything - will see.
The longer I sit with Beau is Afraid the more it's grown on me.
Hey its the guy from the Succ Off podcastt!
Watched this drunk last night, and i don’t remember anything so im watching it again
My best watch; The Prince of Egypt, My worst; The Boss Baby

There's only one film I remember watching this month, and that was a rewatch of See How They Run. I'd seen it in the cinema, this time was watching at home with my parents.
Still loved it, it was fascinating for a second watch knowing everything in advance. I did miss the cinema experience a bit with all the split frame shots.
The humour was still great, Saoirse Ronan was still so loveable, the sets and colourgrading were beautiful.
I haven't seen many, but I still thoroughly believe it's better than any Wes Andersen film despite it not being a Wes Andersen film.
we need a full barry video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best part about Dungeons and Dragons is that there's a scene where an item suddenly becomes super useful in a really contrived way that WOULD be lazy writing, but because works here because that's what happens when the DM is trying to rerail the campaign his band of idiots just ruined.
My favorite watch this month had to be How to Blow up a Pipeline. I care a lot about environmental activism but this was also just such a good heist movie. No other movie has sat with my quite as long as this one
