  • Movie Pass Adventures: The Legend of Ochi

    The baby ochi peeks out of Yuri's backpack.
    The baby ochi riding on Yuri's back. Stylized image- Yuri and the ochi are primarily shades of yellow and gold, but some parts (the ochi's face and claws, and Yuri's eyes) are cyan. The background is shades of green.

    If you ask A24 to make a kids’ movie, you can’t be surprised if it has some blood and swearing and Willem Dafoe. The baby ochi puppetry (and CGI probably) is great. Amazing facial expressions.

    I originally thought I’d do a parody poster based on the one for The Hateful Eight (because “ochi” sounds like “ocho”), but that poster isn’t very memorable. I went with a different “kids’ movie with a bit more adult content than you might expect” poster instead.

  • Retro Movie Adventures: Dick Tracy (1990)

    I saw two reviews for Dick Tracy in one day. One loved it, and one said “this movie and Batman & Robin should have to fight, and the loser disappears forever.”

    So I watched it.

    Visually, it’s a masterpiece. The rest of it is kind of a mess, but it looks like everyone’s having fun. And who would have thought that the weakest part of a Madonna performance would be her singing?

    Today’s parody poster is brought to you by K-Billy’s Super Sounds of the 70s.
