As for the movies I watch this time I added a book to the mix. Matthew Perry's memoir, Life, Love, and the Terrible Thing, is a candid and heartfelt exploration of the actor's life, career, and struggles with addiction. Known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on Friends, Perry delves deeply into his personal journey, offering readers an unflinching look at his battles with alcohol and substance abuse, which began in his early twenties and persisted throughout much of his life. The first chapter will open your eyes to just how bad it was.
Then comes the movie The Dead Don't Die. The Dead Don’t Die is a 2019 satirical zombie comedy film written and directed by Jim Jarmusch. The movie unfolds in the small, quiet town of Centerville, where strange cosmic events, including polar fracking, disrupt the Earth’s rotation. This anomaly causes the dead to rise from their graves, craving what they valued most in life—ranging from coffee to material possessions.
The story focuses on three quirky police officers—Chief Cliff Robertson (Bill Murray), Officer Ronnie Peterson (Adam Driver), and Officer Mindy Morrison (Chloë Sevigny)—as they attempt to manage the escalating zombie outbreak. The town’s eccentric residents, including a sword-wielding Scottish mortician named Zelda Winston (Tilda Swinton), try to survive the chaos, but many fall victim to the undead.
The film balances dry humor with horror elements while critiquing modern consumerism, environmental disregard, and human behavior. It ends on a bleak note, emphasizing the inevitability of destruction. Its meta-commentary and deadpan delivery make it a unique, albeit polarizing, entry into the zombie genre.
The last one is a movie I just saw before this writing called Beau is Afraid. Beau Is Afraid is a surreal, dark comedy-drama directed by Ari Aster. It follows Beau Wasserman, a middle-aged man with crippling anxiety, as he embarks on an increasingly bizarre and nightmarish journey to attend his mother's funeral.
The film explores themes of guilt, fear, and the complexities of the parent-child relationship. As Beau navigates a series of absurd and often terrifying obstacles, the story blends reality with hallucination, making it difficult to distinguish what is real and what is a product of Beau's troubled psyche. Along the way, he confronts his deepest fears and unresolved childhood trauma.
With its mix of psychological horror, absurd humor, and emotional depth, the movie provides a thought-provoking and unconventional cinematic experience.
