Thank you for watching! :)
best movie month i've had in awhile, but what'd YOUUU watch?!?!
Hereditary. I hated it. It was prentious and none of the horror scenes felt like they fit into the movie. It was just an overrated drama that has cliche horror elements.
Around the world in 80 days the new animated one. It was one of the worst movies I have ever watched
I watched Gone Girl for my literature class as an explainer for the Rashomon effect, and I really enjoyed it though Ben Affleck plays a guy who acts like Ben Affleck and… ugh.
I finally got caught up on Succession this month. I'm so excited for ep 3 tonight!

i watched the groundbreaking psychological horror “We Bought A Zoo”
my favourite Scorsese flick, Leo outdid himself
wait a minute wtf
That movie is painfully bad
Holy shit it’s Award Winner Matt Damon
I fell asleep in the theather for this movie
Titane…Dune…French Dispatch what a fucking month has it been for cinema
i only liked Dune... but yeah it feels good that these types of movies are coming out I kinda missed it.
Don't talk to me! I am famous! Don't dislike my good good GOOD videos! Don't talk to me, dear ro
Sadly in my country only Dune has been released, and I loved it but I would really like to watch French Dispatch, Titane and all those other movies that seem awesome but arent available here :(
I think Dune was very bad. It didn't had any differences from an action movie.
timothee chalamet fan?
I feel like me and Karsten watched 2 different movies when it came to last night at Soho. I loved it so much.
agreed, i liked it much more than the french dispatch. it wasn't perfect but was still a lot of fun
Movie was amazing. Loved it, but the last 15-20 minutes felt very out of place and I wasn’t too big on it. Still loved the movie
@@MegaUtube99 Yeah I feel the same about those last 20 minutes
karsten and *i
yea no idea how u could be this critical of the movie. like from the first moment of the film I was hooked
EDIT: then again I don't go into a film like "oh this is an edgar wright film so let me view it through those lenses" I just happen to know about the movie because a director I'm familiar with made it. I feel like this dude just had too many expectations compared to the other films on this list.
I love this, don't stop doing it.
Wow I’m surprised at your rating of last night in soho. I didn’t think about the social message of the film at all while watching it. I just kept remembering how boring most scary movies are and how hard it is to make an iconic atmosphere that’s not over done. It was really good! Less signature Edgar camera work but it seems like he was using his style to tell a compelling story and take you on a ride. Oh well. I loved it.
I thought that the cinematography was really good, and the components (lighting, costume and set design, etc.) went a long way to create an unsettling atmosphere. I DID pick up on the social message, and I loved that it took a different approach to the type of horror movie it was (a social horror ala Jordan Peele but swap out racism for sexism).
I also quite liked it, I still have some complaints with the 2nd half but overall I just thought it was a really fun watch, probably a 4/5 from me. I find it a bit concerning though with Wright recently, he seems to have forgotten how to write a good ending. Everyone and their mother gives Baby Driver 5/5's but that movie's ending isn't all that great either, so why are so many other people hating on this one? Maybe it's just astronomical expectations being let down.
I don’t know, I didn’t really find the story all that compelling. I didn’t find it at all thrilling, even though it’s a horror. I also didn’t care all that much about the characters, I didn’t feel emotionally attached. I also found it to be extremely predictable, none of the twists or plot points surprised me. I thought the cinematography was good. But the story wasn’t, at least for me personally.
another contrarian opinion from Karsten
@@bgold9 seemingly for contrarian sake bc I just don’t get where he’s coming from. Ah well, it’s OK to have differing opinions. I was just surprised by how out on it he was
I disagree with your take on Last Night in Soho. I found myself relating to the main character. The lighting, use of colour and sound felt actually pretty well done. I didn’t think the social commentary was that abrasive. If anything it may have been redundant. But I enjoyed her exploration and longing for a girl who she wants to be.
My friends and I specifically chose it because we’ve seen a “Halloween like movie” every damn year and we wanted something different. This was a great choice
Spoilers-
It was a 9.5 for me, one of my favorites. I really disagree with his take and this is actually one of the films that didn’t put feminism in your mouth, he didn’t make her “boyfriend” a terrible guy he made him really sweet but showed an accurate take on what the 60s were like for performers, it wasn’t like girl power all the way I thought everything about it was incredible I won’t get too much into it though
Nice pic
Nice pfp
The dance scene alone is worth the price of admission and the ending is fantastic. It was a bit on the slow side as it ramped up but once it did I absolutely loved it.
I think the emoji movie was given more praise than last night in soho by karsten; which goes to show how the intention and ambition of a film has in influencing reviews and responses.
i watched luca 50,000 times and akira for the very first time this month. i had a blast.
Nice pfp
Luca literally defined my summer, i watched it like a thousand times HAHAHAHAHAH
Memoria is my film of the year. As I left the theatre, it seemed like everything had changed somehow, you enter a kind of trance-like state while watching this film. For me - as the title says - it's about memory, both individual and collective, explored through sound. I love Apichatpong's metaphysical approach to filmmaking, and the way he explores the intangible, can't wait to see what he does next.
Last night in soho was incredible imo. My 4th favourite of the year…
Karsten: loves Wes Anderson and Jacques Tati
Wes Anderson: makes a film that clearly takes inspiration from Jacques Tati while also being more Wes Anderson than anything Wes has ever made.
This just feels like it was made for you
the tirade on Last Night in SoHo crushed me but yes please see Dune in IMAX thank you everyone happy halloween
Totally agree. I loved Soho, I’m going to see it again at the picture house.
His tirade was 100% accurate. It was a terrible movie
@@booitsjohnny not on your life
Last Night in Soho is actually really good and Karsten is not describing the film I saw
I completely understand why it’s been so polarizing, and I too loved it
Big meh
@@SirChesterBellington no
I am so stomped for the third season of Succession
I’m a huge Edgar Wright fan, so I had some bias going into it; however, I loved last night in soho and so far it’s my favorite film of the year.
Also I do agree with you on The French Dispatch being amazing. Just wasn’t crazy about the student uprising story.
I think you're wrong on Last Night in Soho. I absolutely felt the impact and connected to the character. Loved the twists and honestly it was an uncomfortable and scary film to me, but perhaps that's just my perspective as a college age girl.
Titane was something else. it's been living in the back of my mind ever since i saw it. bummer you didnt quite vibe with the last duel and last night in soho, both were such good films on my end. :)
thanks for making these type of videos and all the best, karsten!
So you've said you're doing a Wes Anderson Ranked, but wheres the other Anderson ranking (Paul Thomas Anderson)???
That comes after the Paul W S Anderson Ranked
!!!!!! NEEDED (especially with Licorice Pizza coming out sooon 🥺🥺)
@@jemfilms aka the best Anderson of them all
This is the one. Best modern director, imo.
I am sweating of excitment for a Lynch ranking (idk if it's gonna happen, but I'd love it if it did)
I totally agree with you about Titane, seeing it in theaters rocked me to my core
the range of movies here is so vast, I love it!!
Dayum bro I don’t think I’ve ever disagreed with your set of rankings this much before
These are the best films of that month in my opinion:
1. Last Night In Soho: 8.5/10
Are bad CGI ghosts overused? Absolutely. Do it's jump scares work? No. However, Edgar Wright's film is an unnerving and deeply personal allegory that concerns nostalgia, social isolation, and the artistic process is nearly perfect.
2. Dune: 8/10 (tie)
A perfect Dune film. The only obvious flaw is the sometimes distractingly awkward (if necessary) delivery of exposition.
2. The French Dispatch: 8/10
A film where a genius film director's vision is completely unrestrained and unfettered. It is slightly inaccessible and niche, but it is also refreshing to see something this artistically daring in 2021 (especially in a mainstream theater). I also adored its homage to the French New Wave and Godard specifically.
3. The Last Duel: 7/10
The acting is superb, the set pieces are impeccably designed and use only lightly utilize computer-generated visual effects. However, the Rashomon-style story is flawed in its execution from both a writing and pacing perspective.
Damn wasn’t expecting you to out last night in soho that low it’s one of my favorites of all time, it’s quite decisive and I think the discourse around it is very interesting also I didn’t like dune and I even watched it in imax, I just didn’t connect with it and the screen was really fuzzy I don’t know why
Its been said already but I must’ve had opposite day watching Last Night in Soho cause I loved it so much
I think Last Night in Soho takes so much from its giallo inspirations that if you're not into giallo, then it might not do it for you...
Just watched the French Dispatch less than an hour ago, I LOVED it and tbh I would watch the first and 2nd stories as their own full movies they were so cool
You should watch more James Bond movies man. I would recommend seeing On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, since it’s a more personal and emotional movie just like Casino Royale and it has one of the best soundtracks in a movie ever.
I love how you were able to multitask bro lol and I’ve ALWAYS loved that Lego set, good for you for getting it lol
I can’t believe you didn’t like last night in so ho I saw it the other night and I was captivated within the first 20 min I loved everything about it. I loved the style the story, how it was right between thriller and horror and despite all the twists and understood and believed it all.
Karsten u noticed me like a year ago lets recreate that iconic moment
Honestly, the viewing of Dune I enjoyed the least was the IMAX one (my second viewing out of three), but that's only because whoever set up the audio in the auditorium had no idea what they were doing. The bass was way too low and the highs distorted in my ear canals. The other two times I watched it I was in one of Landmark Cinema's Laser Ultra auditoriums and it was incredible. Really crisp laser projection, and more importantly, Dolby Atmos set up my someone with human ears. I finally brought some friends out to it last night and they were just as enamoured at it as I was on my first watch.
I can't believe it took me a week from my first viewing to find Sardaukar throat singing on CZcams. It changed my life when I saw it (or dare I say, felt it) for the first time. SO glad someone did a 1-hour extended version. Absolutely mesmerizing
bimbodadai budumbudu
For me with dune it was the imax screen it was so god damn fuzzy I couldn’t see a thing and overall I just didn’t connect with it
Funny, I'd give French Dispatch a 2/5 and Soho a 5/5, funny how that works
this is a total ripoff of that video you made last year, "what i watched in october"
You're soooo wrong about Soho. It was wonderful. The black guy was a bad character, but overall I thought it was pretty solid.
If you want a fun movie, Ron's Gone Wrong was fun. Laughed like 70% of the movie time. Favorite animated movie this year.
Just came from the cinema watching "The French Dispatch" :)
Me too :))
The cinemas where i live arent going to screen it 😣😣😣😣
Seeing that 5/5 on The French Dispatch just filled me with joy.
I literally finished rewatching French Dispatch before seeing this. I liked it the first time but grew to love it the second time. You just kind of have to roll with this magazine-movie format Wes is going for which is just the most Wes Anderson concept ever concocted (to date).
crying because i don’t know when i’ll get to see last night in soho
I may have said this on another video but I love the spirit and enthusiasm you bring to something simple like a list video
I’ve never clicked faster
Bro same wanted to see what he thought of french dispatch
Titane was chef kiss
you totally understated how good The Last Duel is
Honestly liked it more than Dune!
Dune is only half a story to be fair.
I Loved Dune so much I've seen it twice in IMAX such a grand epic of a film has its issues but man it dragged me into its world like the book did incredible cinema experience I need to see The French Dispatch and Titane they look really good
Has anyone else seen Memoria? I saw it here in Bogotá, Colombia where it was mostly shot and REALLY enjoyed it, but it was defo one of the weirdest movies I've ever seen. That ending still shocks me and I saw it a while ago.
I definitely get why you didn't enjoy last night in Soho but idk I loved it it's my favourite film of the year
I saw Titane and knew nothing about it. Crazy experience, the theater was literally yelling WTF to the screen, I was laughing like a maniac. I have to see the French Dispatch soon! Thanks for the reviews. Edit: Loved the French Dispatch too, I have to see it again. So many beautiful and funny details.
"I'm very excited for house of Gucci"
Me: same
The laziest fucking comment I've ever seen
Soho was great in Dolby, gonna watch it again in that format.
Has it released online
@@naveenkb3405 No
That's a solid list. I just hope most of these movies are in theaters internationally soon!
French Dispatch review: " you had me at Wes Anderson".
childs play, and what a film that was. and also french dispatch that was awesome
Your feelings on last night in soho are my feelings on dune.
except last night in soho doesn't have incompetent sound mixing.
look forward to these videos so much it’s ridiculous - honestly didn’t watch very much this month hoping the last part of this year is filled with more
I dont know man i really liked last night in soho
Yo Ducournau is a genius
The only movie I saw October was my first serious viewing of an horror movie..I saw "Lake Mungo" (2008) I highly urge people to see this movie.
I've seen a lot of horror films last month, maybe the most in my lifetime even though I'm a big horror fan.
Midnight Mass, Possession, Inside, The Final Girls, VHS 94 and His House are some of the best horror films that I've seen.
Okay were back here so heres my list :
The fly (David cronenberg remake): 5/5
The great dictator: 5/5
The Grand Budapest hotel rewatch: 5/5
The straight story: 3.5/5
Taste of Cherry: 4.5/5
The ghost of yotsuya : 3/5

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOOO LONG
Nah that Last Night in Soho take is a violation, the first half of that movie is probably some of the most engaging film making I've ever seen. I was so fascinated with the whole atmosphere Wright creates with the costume design, setting, lighting etc. However, I don't think the second half is as strong but that could be due to the whole deconstruction of the world that we find so dazzling in the beginning.
You desperately need to watch more movies. If that was impressive to you....wow.
I watched Noroi: The Curse this month. It was amazing.
without exaggeration, this last quarter of 2021 will be the time period where I spent the most money on movie in my entire life. saw dune twice already. dying to see spencer and the french dispatch.
Good list. But I don't think Last Night in Soho deserved a whole segment of hate. Definitely had at least some good things going for it in my opinion, overall I liked it. But that's just me, still great video!
Can't wait for Karsten to fall into the James Bond rabbit hole that you can never escape from
I watched Squid Game, Enemy, The Green Knight, Prisoners, Kingsglaive FFXV, Troy, Wonder Woman 1984, The Social Network, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Burning, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Exodus: Gods and Kings, Gladiator, Heat, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Kingdom of Heaven, Dune, Dune again, Blade Runner 2049, The Place Beyond the Pines, The Forever Purge, Scream and The Royal Tenenbaums.
Thanks for your time.
What I watched this month
No Time to Die- 5/5. What an incredible sendoff for Craig’s Bond.
Dune- 6/5. An epic in every sense of the word. Everything, from the set and costume design to the cinematography to the score to the acting was pitch perfect. Can’t wait for Part 2
Last Night In SoHo- 4/5 or 4.5/5 (I haven’t fully decided). I understand why this film is so divisive for people, but I really loved about 90% of this. But, I will say that I’ve haven’t been THIS conflicted on how I feel about a film in a long time. I have to respectfully disagree with your take on the movie, Karsten, but I understand where you’re coming from. Everything was really working for me up until the twist, which kind of worked for me, but also really didn’t at the same time.
The French Dispatch- 4/5. A ton of this movie really worked for me, especially the first two segments/stories and the Owen Wilson on a bike bit, but the third segment kind of lost me. It still got some chuckles out of me, but it didn’t land as well as the first two segments did. Still in my top 5 Wes movies though
titane
the thing about the ring is I remember one day I was watching gintama and they were mocking the film now when I saw the shot of the woman popping out of the tv I started laughing
Really like these types of videos. Cheers, man
i'm not able to watch another movie after watching dune. i just wanna see it again. what a masterful movie.
My october:
Run Lola Run
KIll Bill
Kill Bill 2
Hellraiser
Noroi: The Curse
Re-Animator
Spoorloos
Savageland
Dune
I've seen so many movies and love too many movies throughout my life but if I had to just pick one. Kill Bill would be my favorite movie in the universe
I love this months movie picks and reviews! Have you watched The Adams Family? I've had it in my head recently since it's Halloween 🎃
I agree with you on Dune (1984). Saw it this week and even if the movie is seriously flawed (no wonder why David Lynch doesn't want to talk about it), the effort put to create such a distinct world by his cast and crew is quite remarkable. It's an interesting watch.
Titane.
Titane
TITANE!
TALK ABOUT SUCCESSION AHhHhHhHHHHHH
If this man likes casino royale I can't wait to hear his opinion on Skyfall
Me laughing at your comment about Memoria because....same. And then *the twist*?! Wild.
Don’t listen to Karsten guys, last night in Soho was awesome
Omg, Mad God is finished?! Woo, lesssss gooo!! I remember seeing like, a clip of it or something years ago, and it just sat in the back of my mind with no memory of the title or name of the creator or title of the video. I just remembered the visuals and woooo boii am I excited to watch it!
Welp, too bad I can't watch it yet. I'll find a way eventually.
You give away 5/5s like candy on Halloween!
I haven't given a movie a 5/5 in years!!

Karsten every month: So I rewatched Over The Garden Wall............
karsten's thoughts on irma vep are my exactly thoughts about titane
Titane was my favorite this year and i was waiting for dune like an 8 years old is waiting for christmas. i don't know when will i watch it again though :D
Thanks film man, Ill now go and pawn off your opinions as my own whenever Im in a conversation about film. That makes me feel very smart
Yay Au hasard Balthazar! I love it so much.
I really gotta watch Titane.
This month I watched Dog Day Afternoon (Sydney Lumet who also directed 12 Angry Men) for the first time. It was awesome!!!
Where did you see Mad God? I tried to get into the virtual screenings at Fantasia Fest in Montreal, but missed it due to personal reasons, I’ve frantically been looking for another way to view it. It’s easily been my most anticipated thing of the year.
my favourite films i watched in october were stranger than paradise, venom 2, and scream
please watch maid!! so good
Last Night in Soho? More like Last Night in… Sodium. Or something. Idk I thought the movie was kinda cool actually.
Also agree that French Dispatch is 5/5
Can anyone please recommend me a few films, im looking for something like Lost in Translation ever since I watched and loved that
Drive
Her
The Farewell
@@Y.d.o.b.o.n i watched Drive this month .. loved it more than i thought i would ... def recommend
@@Unknown-uh3kp oh yeah, thats in my top 20
Wong Kar Wai's stuff is somewhat similar if you haven't seen it - try Chungking Express and Fallen Angels.
That one episode of BoJack Horseman
Thank god I wasn’t alone on my opinion on Last Night in Soho
Love to see some different opinions, it was one of my favorites of all time and I think it may be the most *split* (Anya Taylor joy pun) film I’ve ever seen in terms of reviews it was near perfect for me haha
Definitely get round to watching No Time To Die, it's basically the ideal action movie for me
Couldn’t disagree more about last night in soho
Yay! New update from cool movie guy!
It’s my favorite time of month!!!
Started with Motel Hell, ended with Premutos. Slasher to Shot-On-Video insanity. In-between I got some Eurosleaze in (Burial Ground, Cannibal Ferox), giallo (Tenebre), Cat. 3 HK (The Boxer’s Omen), arthouse (Possession), and some more SOV (Feeders, Maleficia, Boardinghouse, Bloodstream, Cannibal Cult, etc) It was a good month.
Knife+heart is really cool. I would recommend it.
