Malignant (2021)
This was so weird but I thoroughly enjoyed it
Gotta say this one reaaaally took a turn. Thought it was just gonna be another spooky imaginary friend ghost story type deal. Nope!! It was so over the top and funny and honestly kinda scary at points. Campy fun! Don't go into it thinking you're going to watch a masterpiece and just enjoy the ridiculous gory ride!
The Clovehitch Killer (2018)
Great movie !! The end a little unrealistic
The acting, slow build, pacing and atmosphere was great. You kind of know what's going to happen the whole time but I stuck with it because I wanted to see how everything played out. Very chilling movie and an entertaining watch for sure. The ending .... Yes it's a movie but it was hard to suspend my disbelief when it came to all the evidence the two protagonists as well as the father must have left behind. Tyler never showed up to camp, a lady with a dog literally spotted him acting sketchy outside of crime scene (with a gun??), fingerprints and DNA ALLLL over that grocery ladies house for SURE. Blunt force trauma to the dads head...? The ballistics at the crime scene that would've AT LEAST cast doubt on a suicide... I mean I guess that could all depend on how long the body was there because he was missing for a while but the true crime watcher in me was not having it. But ignoring the unrealistic ending it was a thrilling ride with good acting that definitely gave me thrills. Dylan McDermot acted the heck out of that psycho.
Rick and Morty: Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort (2021)
THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
It's what we've wanted all along!! The writers really picked up the pace and did us all right with this one. Wasn't too hardi har har this is for the fans but also gave the dolls what we wanted in a smart and creative fun way. Perfect ending to hold us over for a while not to mention so smart, funny, and well constructed. Great episode that ties up some links from Rick's past without over explaining, not so convoluted to the point where you're digging through episodes from season 1 looking for small details, but giving just enough back story and lore to Rick and Bird Person's (BP's) past where you're like haha I knew that. Also BP+RS 4EVA<3.
American Horror Stories: Game Over (2021)
What was the point of this
It's literally like they just don't care anymore. This whole series has been a flop but I think this episode took the cake for the absolute worst episode. Being meta for the sake of being meta with no substance or logical sense to the story line/past seasons whatsoever. I'm annoyed :)
Fear Street: 1994 (2021)
A lot of fun!!
I don't get all the negative reviews? Almost stopped me from watching but I figured I'd give it a whirl. I went into it with low expectations and maybe that's why I enjoyed it as much as I did. But not a bad movie at all. Is it a masterpiece? Obviously not. But I don't know who would expect a teen horror movie produced by Netflix to be. It was very entertaining and campy fun. I found most of the characters insufferable at the beginning but by the end they all grew on me and I was sad to see em go. I think the most important thing in a movie is it's entertainment value and I was never bored watching this one. If you like horror and don't mind some corny moments and slightly questionable acting give it a try. It's not terrifying or thought provoking by any means but it's an easy entertaining watch. And with the silver lining of not being too profoundly horrifying you hopefully shouldn't lose any sleep from the things that go bump in the night!
Snowpiercer (2013)
Definitely Entertaining and Worth a Watch
While watching this you have suspend your disbelief. Obviously trains don't go on forever and obviously if they did two little kids wouldn't be the ones operating it nor could there be a massive aquarium on a train nor would anyone go to such convoluted lengths to incite an uprising for population control on a train when they could .. y'know just shoot them or poison them or whatever. BUT it's an entertaining ride (haha literally) and it had a point to make about ~society~ so it had to get a little convoluted to play into the narrative of an allegory for greed and wealth and poverty and society and all that jazz. But for all its dark subject matter it still was fun to watch. Give it a whirl !!
Year One (2009)
So stupid yet so fun
Is this a good movie? No. Is it funny? No not really. Is it entertaining and have some charm ? Hell yeah. If you bored and lookin for some no brain power entertainment with loveable actors and fun characters with a dash of bible references give it a watch.
Lovecraft Country: Full Circle (2020)
The beginning was soooo good but....
The first half of the series was incredible. Didn't mind the episodic nature of the middle couple of episodes either.. but I kept waiting for everything to mean something more while watching this episode. Hopefully they'll continue on the series in the future with Tic and Leti's son with new villains and such. Christina was such a good complex villain I don't think bringing in another one to interact with the same characters would be as interesting. On the same note I don't think having her come back to life would be that interesting either. Her motivations tbh were kinda boring me by the end. Same with Tic if we brought him back meh where else could they go with the story. Overall an incredibly powerful show well written, acted, and spOOOooky. Hope to see the new generation with Tic and Leti's son hopefully the story will be more cohesive and have the character motivations make more sense.
Sucker Punch (2011)
Umm so good
I really feel the reason this movie gets bad reviews is partly because of eh hem, men not being in love with women being the main badasses in a video game type movie. The cinematography the set design the costumes all so incredible. Cult classic so cool
Case 39 (2009)
Pretty bad
The performances were good but there was a huge tone shift in the second half of the movie. It's like there were two different directors. First half was much better than the last. My problem wasn't it was predictable because most horror is it was the execution. Wasn't scary, was a good storyline towards the end, very meh
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Literally one of the coolest movies I've ever seen
I never watched the mad max movies from the 80's but I recently saw a video essay on YouTube about this one and decided to give it a watch. It exceeded my expectations in so many ways. The use of practical effects were amazing. It was like car pirates on the open desert. That paired with awesome characters including the bad ass old ladies. Just so cool and weird and awesome. Loved it.
Josie and the Pussycats (2001)
Such a fun movie anyone with negative reviews hates 2000's culture
I'm definitely biased because I watched this movie over and over again when I was little (way too young to watch it but my mom got the edited version lol) I don't get the low ratings honestly. It's funny and weird and so nostalgic. The songs are also really catchy. Hey I'm not gonna say it's an excellently crafted film but it's definitely a fun watch that will bring you back to those sweet tacky 2000's vibes.
Euphoria (2019)
Skins for the next generation... but better
Although it can be really corny at times which is kinda to be expected with a teen drama it's just such a realistic viewpoint (albeit glamorized) of the trials and tribulations of being a young person. The acting is phenomenal like out of this world and the whole cast is definitely just getting started on what is going to be great careers for them all. *****disclaimer***** although it's a show about teens it definitely should not be watched by young people if they are impressionable... the way everything's presented kind of makes this lifestyle look "cool" ...and I know young me watching this would definitely be influenced in a bad way thinking this is the cool way to behave. BUT it's a great show for adults and I highly recommend ! So addicting and entertaining
The Sandlot (1993)
just.. so great
Such a classic that will definitely be beloved by generations to come. The kids are all so great together and there's so many amazing iconic scenes. It was one of my favorite movies as a kid and now watching it at 22 it's just as good if not better. Such a good movie to watch in the summer such good vibes.
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Entertaining but not overly great
Movie started out good but progressively the characters just started to get more and more stupid for no reason and it made me kind of lose interest. Especially the last half hour or so I was just kind of like... what? Did everyone lose the common sense they had throughout the movie. Regardless I love zombie/apocalypse movies and this one was a better one with a good cast.
Last Shift (2014)
Genuinely scary... worth the watch But def not the best
There were some seriously scary moments in this. I watch a lot of horror movies and this one genuinely creeped me out. Main actress was great and the premise was cool. The end was.. disappointing. The last 20 minutes weren't as good as they could've been and weren't consistently scary with the rest of the movie. Kind of predictable. What pissed me off the most was.. she wasn't actually trapped until the end and had SO MANY OPPURTUNITIES/VIABLE REASONS to LEAVE or call the police and ask for back up. No rational human would voluntarily stay in there unless .. you know.. they were in a poorly thought out horror movie. But again I will say the scares were wicked good and creepy as hell. Conclusion: A frustrating hypothetical situation to watch but definitely worth it for the scares!
