Last Movie You Saw, Name & Review Movie • Page 149

Of course, when I made my list I forgot The Color of Money.

 

The biggest problem with The Revenge of The Sith is how long that fight goes on. This is the pivotal moment that Star Wars fans had been imagining and waiting for for years and then it is just boring. When they are hanging on that tall structure swinging at each other it was just time to wrap it up.

 

That fight just gets tedious by the end. Also Anakin's turn just feels so sudden. The whole trilogy builds up to that point and it just feels so random.

 

In a three-film trilogy, he should have turned in the second film. That lets everything breathe more.

 

Man, I disagree so much lol that fight is still such a highlight for me

 

Red Eye - 8/10, appreciate that this thing just cooks

 

Jurassic Park: The Lost Word - Pretty good sick day movie. I took a nap between the shot of Malcolm yawning and then when the ingen people finally arrive. Honestly if the original is a 10/10 this is probably a 7/10. Still pretty damn thrilling once it gets going. Some fun characters and great set pieces. It loses it a little after the long grass scene, but overall it’s probably still the 2nd best one of these.

 

It's definitely second best and honestly underrated

 

The fact that this is true and that it's ALSO probably in Spielberg's bottom 3 really tells you what a legend Spielberg is.

 

Night of the Demons - 8.5/10
Perfect Halloween party movie.

No One Will Save You - 6/10
Wanted to like this, but it didn't work nearly as well for me as it seems to be for other folks. I'm bummed!

Saw VI - 6.5/10
Even the best Saw movies feel closer to a soap opera than a real film lol

 

The Worst Person In The World - 7.5

A tad bit drawn out, but maybe because I stayed up too late watching, I also couldn’t tell if some moments were supposed to be a dream or just stylistic choices.

Saw X - 7.5/10

Bram Stoker's Dracula - 7.5/10

 

Saw X - 7/10

Definitely the best of the sequels might even be better than the first for me. Probably the most cleverly constructed of these things, though I think the actual ending is the weakest of the three movies I revisited.

 

Cure - 10/10

utterly bleak and absolutely brilliant. I loved every second of this

 

Cure is ridiculously good, blew me away this year, didn't expect it to land in my top 10 canon, but it did so immediately.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer - 6/10, very dumb but very fun, better than it's reputation. It's pretty funny how some of these tossed-off 90s horror movies just walk laps around a lot of the horror stuff we get today.

 

Passages - 10/10

just wow, such a simple concept that blew me away

 

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer is maybe the dumbest movie I have ever seen. The son of the killer Ben Willis goes by the name Will Benson as a disguise.

 

I was hooting and hollering at the reveal

 

Finally got around to watching Midsommar this week. There has to be an easier way for a couple to break up.

 

Bringing Out the Dead (1999) - A story of paramedic angels falling from grace as they dive into the different levels of hell attempting to save lost souls only to be corrupted themselves. Visually this delivers on that promise, baroque camera work hallowing angels in soft light contrasted against bleak dark sets filled with blood and bodies. Manic ambulance sequences, hellish hospitals, a smooth devil drug den. Where it falls apart is the writing, the black humour doesn't land, the edginess fails to cut into the profound, even befitting performances end up leaving a bad taste.

Edit: I really didnt like Marty as the dispatch voice, bad casting and distracting

Missing (1982) - Weaning off the JFK CIA rabbit hole I was revisiting the Chilean coup of 1973, I had a look into this before when I was in Chile during the 2019 riots, their constitution has been in the news again as the country is still deeply affected by the event. The film is solid, I like to watch movies about events I've been learning about to help with memory association. As expected It takes some liberties with the history and it's framed for US citizens. No question if the CIA was involved in this, just how much.

 

I just watched bringing out the dead last week and loved it. I didn’t even realize it was Marty as the dispatch operator.

 

Just being a pedant here but Bringing Out The Dead was 1999.

 

I was so confused with that title and year. I thought what are the chances there are two of them.

 

whoops edited

I probably watched too many interiews, felt like marty was reading his script in the booth
