Interesting movie. Had no idea what it was going in to it. Never even saw a trailer.

[Ash J. Williams]

 

[Hunter Rider]

The story isn't anything special but the script and acting are good while the directing and cinematography are top class.

The Boogeyman

Perfectly average, inoffensive horror. I was hoping for a little bit more spice.

 

[KaijuDude1992]

 

[Herofan]

I thought Her was OK but fairly underwhelming coming from Jonze, good moments but the ending particularly felt too random.

Scream 6 (2023)

 

[Hunter Rider]

Oldschool B movie adventure.

Quality thriller, I suspect the book was better.

8/10

rewatched in gorgeous 4k UHD!

 

[Hunter Rider]

Mediocre, cliched crime thriller.

5/10

 

[OrbOfConfusion]

Another win for A24 in a very heartfelt, emotional tale of 'What could have been.' This might end up being one of my favorite films of the year.

The Flash

 

[Hunter Rider]

It's slow and dry but an interesting study of a ruthless, methodical cham

Bumblebee

Just in time for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, I'm seeing it tomorrow (a double feature with The Flash). Not bad at all! It fixes a lot that the Bay films were critiqued for. Unintelligible robot battles, boring human characters, and awful jokes. Most of that is nowhere to be seen. Hailee Steinfeld is giving a lot more to the lead character than I expected.

Cracks (2009)

Set in a British all-girl boarding school in the 1930s, Eva Green plays enigmatic teacher Miss G, whose life is defined by her devotion to her pupils, and - later - her increasingly unhealthy infatuation with a new student. Senior girl Di (Juno Temple) already has a crush on Miss G, and the arrival of young, Spanish beauty Fiamma (María Valverde) causes jealousy and resentment. As Di realises she has been replaced in Miss G's affections, she becomes more bullying and encourages the other girls to do the same. But childish petulance soon leads to something else, and an inevitable tragedy.

Directed by Jordan Scott (daughter of Ridley), this plays out like The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie meets Death in Venice meets The Lord of the Flies (although it's actually based on a 1999 novel by Sheila Kohler). Eva Green is excellent. Maria Valverde is very good. The rest of the cast are good, especially Imogen Poots and Sinead Cusack. But the standout is Juno Temple. As the conflicted Di she gives the most emotional performance I've seen from her. It's a slow-burn of a film (it does feel a little too slow at times) but it's definitely worth sticking with. 7.5/10

Deep Rising

Treat Williams' death got me thinking about it. Hadn't watched it in years. It's fine as a monster movie though ridiculous as "giant sea worms eating people" isn't the best concept.
