The Beach House
![]()
Totally my kind of jam. Takes a while to get going but the second half is nonstop bleak cosmic horror. Looking forward to seeing what the director can do with a proper budget.
9/10
Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.I watched this based on what you posted here, and while it wasn't really what I'd expected or even hoped for, I still really quite enjoyed it. I think the beach is such a great and untapped location for the horror genre. Something about the vastness and emptiness of it all.
Love this film.![]()
KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS
QUALITY = 9/10
JOY = 9/10
One thing that bothered me is the Moon King's thoughts on eyes, he wants his grandson to be as blind as he is, but his daughter has her vision. I think even the twin might have their vision.
Good taste.Love this film.
The Old Guard (2020)
drama, action
actors: Charlize Theron, KiKi Layne
Confusing beginning, underwhelming dialogue scene direction, generic villain plot, weak score and soundtrack, solid action. By the end it felt like an overly long set up for another movie, guess that makes sense it's based on a comic. I liked Nile's (KiKi Layne) character but was less than enthused by the rest of them. I would have been more interested in the search for that missing female character that I won't name here which I thought might have more to do with the movie but I guess that's just going to have to wait if there's another one but I'm less excited now than I would have been before.
