What movies have you seen recently?

I watched Joker again earlier it is on HBO Max. I just don’t get it. DC films puts out a damn good film with an amazing performance from Phoenix and then is too stupid to create a follow up Batman film afterwards. It was a perfect lead in to a new Batman film verse.

Watched the new Ben Affleck film The Way Back last night on HBO Max. It was really damn good. His best performance and thinking about his history was tough to watch in parts.

Well I mean, it's not impossible for a post credits scene for The Batman

Just watched Terminator Dark Fate because it's one of the movies included with Amazon prime video, I enjoyed it. I wouldn't say it's a good movie for everyone but I had fun with it and I didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as others had said. They had some great special effects, I don't think the lead actress gave a strong enough performance but I liked the way Linda Hamilton played Sarah Connor again and Arnold was Arnold, same as he always is lol.

Watched his house, new horror movie on netflix, was better then I was expecting, though it kind of falls apart in the end but has some good scenes, though you've probably seen it all before in other movies.

Kind of an old cult film. I can't give it a very strong recommendation but it was plenty weird haunted house flick.
Low budget with some cheesy green screen FX, but has a few moments. Sometimes the low budget adds to the surrealness of it.

Not sure about the ending, but well directed and set the mood well. Also kind of enjoyable how detail rich is was while at the same time not getting bogged down in explaining every weird symbol or circle.

I think maybe the movie oversells itself suggesting possible encounters with some Lovecraftian horror, but at most gets to be kind of Hellraiser lite.

Decent movie though.


I wish this director could do a hardcore Dr. Strange movie.

How hardcore 😏
 
Rewatched Willow for the first time in decades. Loved it!

It has held up quite well (the special effects looked dated, but didn't look horrible). Has a great whimsical theme with a ton of heart written into the story.

I see a lot of Willow's influence now in The Lord of the Rings trilogy (films).

Can't wait for the remake!
 
Watched a little bit of Papillon on Netflix. Huge fan of the original film but hadn't seen it in so long (decades)

Decided to get a copy of the original and watch it again before getting into the remake and it was good, remake is good too.

Penal Colonies, hmmmmm....
 
Sisters

1972 Brian De Palma film about a woman who witnesses a murder in the building across from her. I've wanted to watch this for a while now, it was interesting. Has some Hitchcock vibes mixed with strange giallo-esque dream logic. Part thriller, part investigation, part horror, part comedy. Feels like classic cinema mixed with seedy '70's ideas. Not sure what I think but it was interesting.

Are the Rambo movies any good? The 4k versions are all 8 bucks a pop on Amazon. Don't really remember them from my youth and have never seen the new ones.
