I did the same, but just upgraded to the new Mad Max 4K Anthology. Don't feel as bad about double dipping since I got all the other films in 4K as well.
 
Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022, Netflix) - Good

Absolutely brutal. Not really a scare movie. It’s more of the gore type of horror movie.

I watched this last night. It's definitely one of the better sequels / reboots in the franchise, which admittedly is not a high bar. Apparently it was intended to be shown in theaters, so it's production values are considerably higher than you'd normally expect from Netflix. I guess the response to initial screenings was so bad that they decided to sell it to Netflix. Seems to be super divisive for horror fans, reviews are all over the place on my Letterboxd feed. It was a mixed bag for me. Some poorly executed and laugh out loud moments mixed with extremely entertaining and well shot moments.

My biggest personal annoyance, when the movie has Texas in the title, maybe don't feature mountains and rolling hills as scenery in the first few minutes.

There's a nice after credits scene.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre - eh

Enjoyed some of the kills and the lead actress is a cutie but other than that, I didn't really care for it.

That early 2000’s remake Jessica Biel was so hawt! Enjoyed that movie. That prequel that came out afterwards was pretty cool too with R Lee Ermey.
 
Moonfall... Lol. No seriously there was one scene at towards the end I started laughing and couldn't stop. Pretty sure the people behind me were the same. Like it just goes off the rails. But if you like Emmerich's disaster movies have at it.

This is how it should be. I'm not watching this movie seriously, I'm here to pick it apart and laugh at how dumb this s*** is. Wanna see it, but also won't pay for it lol

Yea it was $5 Tuesday so not bad. Although ended up being $15 total including small popcorn and soda so..
 
Ordered our Batman tickets for that opining weekend early Saturday, I am hyped!!! Just hope I can stay away from spoilers till then. Leaving the kids at home on this one, we are treating my parents out they’re big Batman fans too.
 

Pretty crazy. Gotta assume they're going to make a sequel if this is the case.

Scream: Eh not really necessary but I guess they tried.

Honest Thief: another average film starring Qui Gon Jinn

Shut In: Pretty decent thriller. A bit made for TV though.

Eternals. Eh, it was fine. Had some really cool aspects to it, though it could be a chore to get through at points. Didn't love it, didn't hate it, it just exists lol. Credits scenes were interesting as well.

Glad I watched it on Disney Plus and not in the theaters, being able to pause and watch over a few day span was a nice feature.
 
The Batman - Good

A bit better than good though. Not quite great. Many people will go into it with the wrong expectations on what time of a movie it really is. It’s actually a few genres mixed together.
