Hell yeah! This looks intense and better than I though (also love that it'll be hard R and not some watered down PG 13 film like Jack Ryan Shadow Recruit)
Also its great to see the Hell or High Water boys reuniting for this (Chris Pine & Ben Foster's chemistry was great in that awesome film as brothers)
I watched a movie on Netflix called Last Man Down. Holy shit. Maybe one of the worst movies I've seen in the last decade. I'm not joking, I really think I could get a dozen friends together and create a better movie than this. I was a bit spellbound by its awfulness though, and for some reason watched the entire stupid thing. Just shit. How is Netflix raising prices and trying to pass off this kind of trash as entertainment? [Reply]
A24 is the most interesting movie studio in Hollywood right now. You'll never see them shovel out safe/generic assemble line crap (like Disney for example) A24 is such a breath of fresh air imo.
My top 10 favorite films from A24 would be...
1. Ex Machina
2. Blue Ruin
3. The Killing of a Sacred Deer
4. The VVitch
5. Good Time
6. Locke
7. The Lighthouse
8. Green Room
9. Uncut Gems
10. Annihilation
And I can't wait for Ti West's next horror film called X It looks completely bonkers with a dark mixture of horror & comedy.
I loved Ti West's criminally underrated horror film The House of the Devil
(starring Tom Noonan who is creepy as hell in it) Highly recommend it.
Blue Ruin was amazingly good. I can't believe it was on Netflix movie level of good. And I found Annihilation to be really creepy and even scary in parts. [Reply]
Watched Scream aka Scream 5 tonight with my wife and a friend of her’s….gotta say, didn’t particularly care for it. I like the Scream franchise a lot but it totally feels like it’s ran it’s course…
Spoiler!
I totally LOL’d at the killers motives, found it incredibly dumb…
I know it’s a movie and you gotta suspend belief but watching Sam & Sidney taking deep stab wounds to the stomach and Gale being shot in the stomach and then literally minutes later running around and doing all these physical things just had me facepalming, just no….
I gotta say, I could Richie from a mile away…really thought he’d be related to Stu somehow though, esp. with how they were pushing Sam’s connection to her dad
Can’t say I’m too excited for the 6th one… [Reply]

What could go wrong. Right? .... RIGHT?
WRONG
What in the god **** was that? Holy ****ing hell.
That stupid midget Spike Lee directed it and thought it was a great idea to remake a modern day cinematic masterpiece that is Oldboy. I'm just thankful that it was panned by audiences & critics alike and also bombed big time at the box office. [Reply]
