Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol - 8/10 (Rewatch)
Mission Impossible: Fallout - 10/10 (Rewatch)
Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Pt. 1 - 7/10

True Grit (2010) - 7/10 Weird to see such a conventional Coens movie, but they bring some heat with the ending stretch.

The Purge - 4/10 I wanted to like the premise but it was so damn goofy and god, what a terrible screenplay. I trust the folks who said some of the sequels are interesting at least.

 

Yeah the first purge is the worst of them easily.

 

only saw the first 2 of them

saw the trailer for the forever purge enough that the way the guy yells "the forever purge!" is stuck in my head forever though

 

good

 

Demolition Man - 7/10

Targets - 9.5/10

Pink Flamingos - 5/10

Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives - 8/10

Takeaway: Everyone should watch Targets (1968).

 

HARD disagree

 

wtf is Targets? Guess I’ll watch on your rec if it’s that good

 

It's a warning of the dangers of the purge, Josh. lest we forget

the forever purge

 

you deserve it


jk bud

 

Copying and pasting from The Horror Thread:

Highly recommending Targets if anyone is looking for a recommendation. 1968 flick about a spree killer that pre-dates the mass shooting phenomenon while also starring Boris Karloff as an aging horror star, so basically a fictionalized version of himself. The POV sniper thing is absolutely a precursor to Halloween and other slashers, it's pretty shocking for the time and feels proto-Tarantino as well. Karloff is ridiculously charming and the movie itself is super tense.

 

I’m in

 

Let me know when you get around to it. It's wild to see a movie that tense and prescient before the politicization of mass shootings, but also one with a character as funny and likable as Karloff's. Not a spoiler for the movie, just a bit, but there's a part where he's hungover and catches himself in the mirror and scares himself that made me laugh out loud. But then, two scenes later, I've got sweaty palms watching the violence on screen that would likely be considered tame for today but is pretty shocking for 1968 (if you don't count, like, Herschell Gordon Lewis stuff). Anyways, definitely inspired Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Karloff's last line is incredible writing.

 

Targets is on my criterion pick-up list, waiting till their site sale letter in the year to use some gift cards.

 

FUCK yes on Targets. Bogdanovich had a hell of a fucking run at the beginning of his career.

 

might have to watch that one tonight

 

Haven't had a first watch hit me like this since First Reformed

 

Sisu - 2/10

 

What?? It was so much fun

 

I’m sorry I just really hate that movie

 

I still gotta see it

 

So I Married an Axe Murderer - 8/10

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - 7.5/10
