Bowler1215 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 The Black Phone is a solid suspense thriller with supernatural elements in it. Ethan Hawke was creepy in this, he plays a good villain. Mason Thames was good in his role as the killers next victim locked in a soundproof room. The kid getting calls from a disconnected phone from the killers previous victims was neat. The sister having dreams that helps with the investigation I felt was the movies weak point. But I feel this is a solid thriller that I can watch again. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Slither is a one hour and 35 minute love letter to Nightmare on Elm Street, The Blob, The Thing, Predator, Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, 1950’s sci fi, 1980’s homages to 1950’s sci fi, Tremors and all the best movies made. I’m pretty close to escalating this to a 10/10. I really REALLY wish Gunn would give the superhero genre a break and return to horror. His talents are wasted in an overdone and over saturated genre. He needs to get back to original material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrILL! Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) I’ve been listening to DGA podcast episodes where a director interviews another director about their film. Then I try to watch the corresponding film after listening. I find these interviews from their peers to be more insightful to the process.

Forge Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Almost famous continues to be a damn near perfect movie for me. Definitely an all time desert movie pick for sure. Yes, there's an overload of personal sentimentality imbued in my love of it based on knowing where I was in my life when it came out, but damn man, it's just so damn good. Gives me all the feels I would have dropped all my money in Kate Hudson stock after this. It never panned out, but she's truly magnetic in this movie. Not sure where this actress went after this movie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a lower IQ response to your post, but the movie Tusk was one of the worst movies I’d seen, until I watched the podcast where they dreamed it all up. It’s much funnier knowing it was just Kevin Smith shooting the **** with his buddies creating a stupid story idea that they had the facilities to produce.

Not sure where this actress went after this movie The Bootleg Cut (director’s cut) is even better for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet. There’s probably 15-20 mins added that help flesh out multiple scenes. You get to see more of William’s interviews with the band that really helps tie into the argument on the airplane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Rewatched Good Will Hunting for the 10th time- the first 90% of the movie is excellent, they get a little lost in the ending of the movie, more relaistic than dramatic, in a modern movie they would probably have the climatic end happen all together, Chuckie, Wil Skyklah and the psychologist would all meet together to resolve the issue.

Ty21 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Idk if I can call Moonfall the worst movie I’ve ever seen but it might be the worst written and worst acted big budget movie I’ve ever seen. It’s so bad that I felt compelled to see it through but dear god was it miserable. I was giving a play by play of my thoughts before realizing it’s only fun making fun of a movie that stands a chance. This is like making fun of Johnny Knox for not running fast. This is like when SNL didn’t know how to make fun of Donald Trump cause he did worse himself. I will leave you with two wonderful quotes: ”It’s like some self-aware, self-replicating singularity” “Strange pulsating lights from beneath the moons crust” This movie actually gets worse the longer it goes. My mind is blown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a good take tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
