Last Movie You Saw, Name & Review Movie • Page 276

I want to track down her debut and Troma film, B.C. Butcher lol

 

I still have brain fog from watching the Mario Movie 2, Scary Movie 6, and Mortal Kombat 2 within a very short time so I am pausing my popular movies project and running through the canon again. There is nothing to say about Citizen Kane that has not been said already, but it is interesting how there is a huge exposition dump in the beginning of the film basically telling you the entire plot before doubling back and depicting it. You always hear about the influences the film had on filmmaking technique but other biopics rarely tell the story in that way.

 

I Bury the Living - 7.5/10
Stephen King called this one of the scariest films ever made, but disliked the ending. I disagree on both counts! As many have mentioned, this plays like an extended Twilight Zone episode, a bit dry but sufficiently creepy and cozy, until a third act reveal and twist that is so bizarre and slightly nonsensical that it would make a Scream writer blush.

A strange little paranoid horror story with a third act that distorts everything that came before it. This is a good thing.

 

Alphabet City - 7/10
Tuner - 8.5/10
DeepStar Six - 6/10
Funny People - 5/10
Masters of the Universe (2026) - 7/10

 

Funny People is the longest movie ever made. I swear to Christ it's ten hours long.

 

Alphabet City rules

 

I remember looking Funny People and I reckon I probably still do. Eminem feuding with Ray Romano was a good bit

 

Certainly felt closer to that than the apparent running time.

 

Funny People is too long but overall I like it.

 

Funny People is a bit shaggy and overlong, but I sort of like it for that. Same with This Is 40.

 

They're fun movies if you just enjoy spending time with those actors/characters, which I typically do (or at least did - haven't watched an Apatow film in years)

 

Apatow's Carlin doc is my fave thing he ever did

 

Underworld U.S.A. - 8.5/10
An American Tragedy - 7/10
Apex (2026) - 5.5/10
Strictly Ballroom - 7.5/10
Disclosure Day - 9/10

 

Obsession - 9/10
Backrooms - 9/10

 

this is where i'm at with them now

 

Sorry that’s illegal you need to rank them

 

and somehow Hokum has to be thrown in the mix

 

One is a 9.0001 and one is a 9.0002

 

Backrooms - 9.1
Obsession - 9
Hokum - 9.5

 

I just finished Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die.

Ummm…maybe 8.5/10
I got big Everything Everywhere vibes. The themes and message got kinda preachy. Sam Rockwell’s performance was great…and surprisingly the kid at the end. There was a reveal at the end that I kicked myself for not seeing coming before. The flashback about the clones and school shootingswas some really dark humor and good commentary. It wasn’t as wild as the reviews made it seem, but maybe I’m just used to weird media.

 

i still have yet to watch Hokum, but i'll report back with my own ranking when i do

 

Obsession > Hokum > Backrooms

 

Please don't do this in this thread lol

 

Yeah, I get it. It seems like they’re being compared lately just because they’re horror movies coming out around the same time breaking records. Style wise, they’re not very similar.

 

didn't know arbitrary ranking was illegal now on chorus dot fm
