[25-WR]
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020) – Jason Woliner

[25-WR]
Ghosts V: Together (2020) – Nine Inch Nails
[25-WR]
Merely and really the mono-thematic ghost of the former “Ghosts I-IV” (2008) album. Diluted while stringed together by ludicrous cries for emotional positivity.

There’s something really naturally annoying about this child-actress’s performance that made her perfect for the part as one sides automatically with her brother instead.
[25-WR]
Mandy’s – Berlin

There are some really interesting developments in this blue Russian cat’s character, the kind of revealing behavioral changes that are normally reserved to humans exclusively.

It lacks a solid sound-slate design like the one “The Downward Spiral” has giving it a decentralized feeling somewhat affecting the old attention-span.
[25-WR]
Red White & Blue (2010) – Simon Rumley
[25-WR]
Did not see any extreme changes of mood or style coming before it turned into full-blown cinematic transgression. Better watched without previous plot knowledge.
[25-WR]
Gummo (1997) – Harmony Korine
[25-WR]
Midwestern white trash at its ingrown-peak shown under neutral autopsy lights instead of the usual ridicule a John Waters satire would no doubt use.
[25-WR]
The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) – Wes Craven

It doesn´t grab one by the neck with intricate fancy like the previous albums but it does make the cut into their swan lake discography
[25-WR]
Purple (2015) – Baroness
[25-WR]
Too much self-complacent singing and riffing around—sluggish and resigned at times when Wanderlust is expected. Decent background music but nothing like albums past.
