"WE PUSHED IT EVEN FURTHER. WE WENT BOLDER, WITH DEEPER BLACK AND REALLY STRONG COLOR SEPARATION."
FILM: "John Wick: Chapter 4"
DIRECTOR: Chad Stahelski
SCREENPLAY: Shay Batten & Michael Finch
CINEMATOGRAPHY: Dan Laustsen
PRODUCTION DESIGN: Kevin Kavanaugh
SENIOR COLORIST: Jill Bogdanowicz
"Company 3 Senior Colorist Jill Bogdanowicz recently completed work grading "John Wick: Chapter 4." She has handled grading duties on the "John Wick" series since "Chapter 2," which also happened to be when Dan Laustsen joined as cinematographer. The two have collaborated with director Chad Stahelski on the stylized Keanu Reeves-starring series since. All "John Wick" films have impressed audiences with their strong, expressive looks, but Bogdanowicz says of "Chapter 4":
“We pushed it even further. We went bolder, with deeper blacks and really strong color separation.""

Game Night (2018)
🎲💥🌌
This modern action comedy is about a group of friends, whose weekly game night suddenly becomes a real mystery when one of them is abducted.
Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams star as married avid gamer couple Max and Annie Davis. The supporting cast includes: Jesse Plemons as police officer/next-door neighbor Gary Kingsbury, Billy Magnussen (aka Jed Milgrim/Grimsson on Netflix’s Maniac), as Max and Annie’s friend Ryan Huddle, Sharon Horgan (aka Eva Garvey on Bad Sisters) as Ryan’s co-worker/love interest Sarah Darcy, Lamorne Morris (aka Winston Bishop on New Girl) and Kylie Bunbury as high school sweethearts Kevin and Michelle Sterling, Michael C. Hall (aka Dexter Morgan) as a dangerous arms dealer known as The Bulgarian and Kyle Chandler as Max’s brother Brooks Davis. A crucial animal character in the film includes Gary’s West Highland Terrier named Bastian.
Jason Bateman and Rachel McAdams make a great team creating the perfect balance between wry eagerness and deft wordplay, which can be twice as fun to watch. Jesse Plemons sure knows how to make an audience laugh without even trying to be funny, hence his ability to play a straight-faced character. Billy Magnussen is especially hilarious given that his character (who initially brought a different date with him on game night) is an outgoing gamer who’s also quite dumb. Kyle Chandler has literally got his game face on playing an ultra-competitive alpha male.
In terms of observing the competitive streak of the film’s principal characters, Max and Annie’s relationship is essentially built around their intense love of games. Jesse Plemons’ character is an intensely strange person who, after his wife left him, desperately wants to be invited to the extent that he gradually resorts to subtle (and comedic) underplay. Brooks is a highly successful guy who not only takes game night up a notch, but he takes great pleasure in beating his brother every opportunity he gets (hence, Max’s sibling rivalry literally throws him off his game and is thus unable to conceive a baby with Annie).
The script is insightfully written in both skill and originality, setting the stage for a convoluted narrative that advances to the next level of dark comedy and unforeseen thrills. One moment, you’re in for a legit role-playing murder mystery, but the next you’re caught up in life-threatening situations involving real criminals.
Throughout the course of the movie, references to real-life board/party games are clearly implied. A few examples include: Guess Who? (Kevin and Michelle’s argument on which “celebrity” the latter slept with), Operation (the impromptu surgery in which Annie removes a bullet from Max’s arm) and “Hot Potato” (the scene where the group toss a Fabergé egg from person to person while being chased by guards). What’s more, some three-dimensional aerial camera shots of the city/neighborhood allude to the Game of Life, a clear nod to a “game-within-a-game” concept.
The soundtrack contains a selection of classic songs that fit conveniently into the film. Such specific tracks range from Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” to Engelbert Humperdinck’s cover version of “Quando Quando Quando”.
Finally, underneath the over-the-top comedy and overall adrenaline rush is the idea of just enjoying the things you plan. In closing, I recommend this unexpectedly winning (though criminally underrated) cinematic romp to everyone.
“YES! OH NO, HE DIED!”
-Annie Davis

some highlights from the article:
"It seems like Waititi’s modus operandi is that he likes to set things up, forget about it all, and then give them the most haphazard conclusions imaginable. Because he is either busy with or being forced to do one badly written joke after another and one badly choreographed action sequence after another"
*
"Almost everything that Gorr does or thinks happens off-screen, and the parts that we get to see are so cartoonish that it is unwatchable. Jane’s struggles are so sanitized that there’s no impact. It’s as if Waititi and Marvel are okay with exposed private parts, and adult jokes, and golden blood splattering all over the screen, but they draw the line at an emotional portrayal of fighting cancer. And the handling of “love” is laughable because the so-called chemistry between Thor and Jane feels like a poorly-written high-school romantic comedy. So basically, there is nothing to ground all the spectacle in, and you are left watching scene after scene of plastic sentimentality."
*
"Talking about spectacle, visually speaking, what the hell is going on? It feels wrong to refer to the action scenes as action scenes because they are not. They are moving images put on screen without an iota of passion or intent" *
"Waititi thinks that he and his (overburdened, probably underpaid, and definitely not unionized) VFX team can put any kind of goop on the frames and get a pass. Not from me. The only thing that’s worse than the unappealing action scenes is the dull and flat framing of the dialogue scenes, which is put together via some of the most boring editing choices in blockbuster history."
