I like this fucking movie for some reason. Second watch. Autumn in Paris. Vomiting ghost. Kristen Stewart's miserable pouting face. I dunno.

SWIMFAN (2002). Reasonably enjoyable flick, which could almost be FATAL ATTRACTION in High School. Nothing great, but better than I thought it would be. ***

“The Hole in the Ground” 6/10

A little better than a meh, thanks to the soundtrack and cinematography.

“Minutes Past Midnight” 7/10

An alright horror anthology with quite a few highlights.

Piercing, 2018. 7,5/10


Director: Nicolas Pesce

CHAR MAN 2019

A film crew set out to film a fake found footage about a vampire but come across a real urban legend. Over-acted but not horrible.

Extraterrestrial (2014)

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

DEAD PRESIDENTS (1994). Great Hughes Bros film of a group of friends going to Vietnam and struggling to return to normal lives in their old NYC neighborhood. Gritty and good performances by Laurenz Tate, Keith David, Freddie Rodriguez and a quite funny Chris Tucker. ****1/2

Bird Box had a few moments, but did not live up to the hype.

I was pleasantly surprised by Sandra Bullock, though.

Jumanji - Welcome to the Jungle.

Well...I didn't hate this...of course, it had a certain "family friendly/goofy" vibe to it that'd probably appeal a lot more to a younger audience - which is cool...I got the original when I was a kid, so why not, right?

Some of it was a bit puerile, what with Jack Black AND Kevin Hart...but it seemed to come from a good place, with each character a lesson to learn/bit of introspection for their younger audience.

What I liked was that it didn't actually serve AS a sequel in many ways - but made enough connections to the first film, such as the box being found when/where it had turned up in the end of the first one, Another person from the "past" getting trapped aside from the main cast...and paid it's dues nicely...of course
“This house was built by Alan Parrish – I just live in it”.
Couldn't have said it in a better, and nicer way.

Clearly this movie was geared towards comedy, and brought new elements into the existing universe...we got a different version of the hunter with a back story this time, and we got to take a look INTO Jumanji rather than at what came out.
One for the ages? Super memorable? Perhaps not. But it was fun, it didn't suck, and I got a decent perve at Karen Gillan...even if I think she looks hotter as Nebula.

Not a bad effort at all, really. Figured I'd hate it. I was wrong.

The Prodigy


This was ok. There was a part in the beginning that stuck with me and kinda ruined the rest of the movie because I couldn't get it out of my head. It's a minor thing and probably won't bother anyone else.

The movie itself is interesting at least. There's some scares and it has a good atmosphere but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. It at least foregoes the typical demon possession story and goes for something different. But it follows a typical formula to other movies and that hurts it.

I wouldn't recommend seeing in theaters but not a bad watch at home if you're bored.

6/10

I'd have to be in the mood for it, but sounds entertaining.


Annihilation (2018)
7/10

"A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don't apply."

Starring Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh. Sci-fi film that's kind of lowkey and gloomy mostly, but has some cool special effects and electronic music. It's not particularly exciting or deep. It's an old sci-fi concept but the storyline is somewhat fresh.

Travis - aka The Sighting - was a pleasant surprise. Good build-up, nice twist and a somewhat open ending, though it leaves me leaning a bit more to the police man's theory.

Fear was entertaining. We know Wahlberg can be goofy and silly, but way back when, he could be scary as well. Also: is this film set in Seattle? I'm not sure, but we do get more than a few shots of what looks like the space needle.

“The House that Jack Build” 6/10

More Nymphomaniac blibber blabber of random knowledge. Yay...::roll eyes::

Only good thing about this movie was the performance of Matt Dillon. The ending was shiiiiiit.

Seems to be no middle ground with this one people either love it or hate it. I've been waiting on the uncut version to be released but I should just jump in and check it out.

Would you put it beyond Von Trier to see the humour in those reactions?

As in: not only did I piss off the folks who were shocked by the gore, but I also managed to annoy the sensation hounds attracted by the controversy and the gore.

Haha no I wouldn't. He would be rubbing his hands in glee.

LORD OF THE RINGS:THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING (2001). My wife and daughter are both rabid fans of the Tolkien books, but I find them all but sleep inducing (I first read THE HOBBIT in High school for a class and just torture to get through it). However, the films by Peter Jackson are very very good and this is exemplary filmmaking. Have fond memories of the release dates for the trilogy all were around my Daughter's birthday, so we always took her to opening day. *****

The Ballerina, 2017. 7/10

Director: Steve Pullen

That's great, I think there's some great moral lessons for kids. I've found Fellowship to be one of the best films all-time. I enjoyed the following two, but I don't think they measured up to the first.

Looks like some good cinematography. Watching the trailer, first I thought the father was Jeff Daniels. I guess it was moderately successful?

The Prodigy 3/10

I tried to warn you

I know, but, my friend wanted to see it. I tried to warn him, but, no go.

The Lost, 2006. 8/10

Dead Space (1991)

Good mindless fun with lots of hokey looking effects. One Bryan Cranston's early roles.

Overlord

Nice mix of war / horror movie. Could have used a bit of tightening up but overall a fun watch. And Kurts son does an excellent job.

Got that sitting here will have to check it out real soon. Haha dumbass that I am I never picked up he was Kurt Russell's son ::big grin::

Lords of Chaos, 2018. 8/10

Director: Jonas Åkerlund

The violence, so brutal, the film, so sad. : (

”Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” 5/10

An unsatisfying Groundhog Day.

Paddleton (2019)

Quite a grim film as to be expected from the subject matter but a great look into friendship and loneliness. Always dug Mark Duplass' writing and characters and the largely improvised performances give this a really natural feeling. I think this will make my list of best films this year. Definitely not for everyone but if you're in the mood for something different check it out sometime.

Not the first time I've seen Ray Romano go down this road. Did you see that series "Men of the certain age"? Great show.

No will have to check it out. The only thing I'd seen him in that veered away from straight comedy was Vinyl.
