Last Movie You Saw, Name & Review Movie • Page 135

Yep! Animated double-feature.

 

Blackberry - 8/10. As fo me it's really interesting movie. It made me wish they'd been able to innovate to keep up and we might still have a third player in the market. I found this movie on https://ww3.soap2day-online.com/ it is cool database of movies and tv shows in all genres that is available for free 24/7. Quite convy site for movie buffs. Now I can watch my fav movies anytime I want without any restrictions.

 

Mostly knocking out rewatches this week

Jaws - 10/10
Jackass 3.5 - 7/10
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance - 10/10
Mission: Impossible - 8/10

 

Shadow in the Cloud - 3/10

Psycho Sisters - 7.5/10

Ghostwatch - 7.5/10

 

You said Ghostwatch but my mind immediately read Clockstoppers

 

Ghostwatch sounds amazing. I have to get to that.

I actually thought Shadow in the Cloud was good fun for 2/3 of the movie before it gets just too ridiculous.

 

I got that recent Ghostwatch blu-ray but will probably save it for October.

 

Ghostwatch is amazing. Even just reading the name gets me so excited for October, haha.

Currently watching Nimona, which rocks.

 

I appreciate what it went for, cool aesthetic and some fun gremlin scenes, but it irredeemably cheap - took place almost exclusively in one location, with one actor on screen, SO much green screen, and a bunch of technical errors and super on-the-nose writing that just constantly took me out of it, unfortunately.

 

See I'm a sucker for a good limited location or one-actor movie if you have the guts to stick to it, but when you have her hanging off the exploded wing while holding a baby in one hand done with CG that's beyond your capabilities, you just didn't have faith in your own concept.

Which is why something like The Window or The Spiral Staircase wipe the floor with it even 80 years later.

 

Speaking of limited location movies, I absolutely loved Sanctuary

 

Bitter Moon - 7.5/10

 

Bones and All - 8/10

 

ET - 8/10

Scary Stories to tell in the dark - 6.5 / 10

 

Both deserve better smh

 

Really my first time watching ET all the way through, it was good but maybe hard to form a connection with it when you see it for the first time at 34.

Scary Stories needed way more / longer scenes with the creepy characters. Every time a creepy thing happens it’s over in like 40 seconds.

 

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken was fun, but didn't tackle the whole intergenerational trauma thing nearly as well as Elemental did. Or maybe that wasn't what it was going for at all and I'm just comparing two animated films I've recently seen.

Oh, did I forget to post about Elemental? I really liked Elemental. It being a story about a child of refugees really resonated with me.

 

Joy Ride (2001) - 7.5/10

Alligator - 8/10

Grizzly - 5/10

Tully - 6.5/10

 

I love Joy Ride

 

Inside Llewyn Davis - 9/10

 

So good^

 

Just watched The Mist for the first time last night. It was fine, and I did like the ending. Just didn’t love it.

 

I saw it in a packed theatre and the audience reaction to the end was nuts.

 

I love endings like that, more films should do it

 

I was surprised how deeply moved I was by Tully.

Also finally saw Big Night today and what a great, great movie.
