Spoonfed repetitive and gags were wack. Most of the “creative” elements that it’s being lauded for is **** that’s pretty trite. I rarely ever **** on movies but the 4.6 Letterboxd and 97% RT is the most I’ve ever been disconnected from the consensus I think lol Gotta say I’m with the consensus on this one, I loved it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Noroi: The Curse has been on my watchlist for dang near ten years. It was worth the wait. Not a recommendation because I know a lot of people won’t appreciate it the way I did, but it was an excellent J-horror. Excellent. A definite slow burn, and it has few… No jump scares, but the execution in its tone and score was flawless. When The Grudge got like 17 American versions, I’m shocked this got none. Big fan, and I’m super happy I was finally able to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 The Negotiator is a top underrated movie. Like… If that had been Bruce Willis or anyone more associated with action movies than Samuel L, that probably would have turned into a trilogy. Still, Samuel L. was perfect for the role. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime 1990s Samuel L is as good of a “fun movie/action/thriller” actor as it gets. Great temperament, subtle humor, yelling actor, intense, etc. I will always appreciate guys like him and Nic Cage for those types of roles.

jetsfan4life51 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Anyone see The Northman yet? It got good reviews but I thought it was kind of meh. Not bad to see once, don't need to go to the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t expecting a super layered movie like lighthouse… really just thought it was gonna be a bloody slaughter fest without much headiness, but it had more layers than I was anticipating tbh. Liked it more than the Witch but not as much as lighthouse. Eggers **** always feels so… nobody is better at transporting me than him.. I don’t even always connect with his movies, I’m always just so captivated.. wish we got more of Willem’s jester character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too; might be my favorite A24 film thus far. Even more impressive considering the film was shot in like 37 days; and the SFX team was like 7 people who did all their work remotely on laptops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowler1215 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 The Batman was solid. I was interested in the story and how things would end up. This is one of the darker Batman movies, possibly the darkest. And while we've seen these characters before in different incarnations, they work for this movie and the story this movie is telling. While this is a 3 hour movie, it didn't drag. Certainly worth a watch. 8/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Watched Parallel (2018). Plot seemed interesting: friends find a mirror that is a portal that transports them to other dimensions that reset every time you go in and out (kinda like 11/22/63), so obviously the movies going to be about gaming the other side to gain riches and fame and whatever with the biggest evil either being your own greed/villainy or the other side fighting back. The movie was super long winded, 50 minutes too long and poorly executed throughout. Didn’t really care for the characters and about halfway through I kept checking the time to see when it ended. Kinda just felt like drivel you’d make in a community college film/director course lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Emma Thompson is just so damn good in Sense and Sensibility, and it's helped by her excellent adapted screenplay and A+ supporting cast that includes Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman, Hugh Grant, Hugh Laurie, Imelda Staunton, and Gemma Jones. Best thing Ang Lee ever directed and probably the best he ever will direct. I watch it every couple of years and it always hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
