The Shining (Goksung) 2016 in Movies ·
It dragged on for a good hour too long
otherwise, it would've been great
Anthropoid (2016) Movie Discussion in Movies ·
Looking at these images
it all feels too sterile to me... and we already know how it ends... I'm honestly not sure if I'll even get around to watching this one...
Anthropoid (2016) Movie Discussion in Movies ·
I don't know, I just have this gut feeling that things are going to turn out bad... those Nazi types always seem to find a way
I was reading up on this specific incident—hopefully we're talking about the same guy here
The man was so incredibly cocky about his own security that he’d just cruise around in an open-top car through various locations
Luis Buñuel in Movies ·
I think I caught almost everything worth seeing—the major features, anyway—during that massive binge I went on over a decade ago... but somehow, I missed Golden Age.
I really dug Angel of Destruction, Tristan la, Viridiana, and that subtle Charm... but Golden Age? It’s just way too surreal for me. Plus, trying to follow along with those audio commentaries explaining every little scene and plot point was honestly exhausting and pretty boring.
Thank God it's only 62 minutes long.

I'll be honest... I just don't go hunting for expressionism or surrealism in movies anymore. Especially not in that specific era when things were transitioning from silent films to talkies.
5/10
Anyway, thanks, gotta run.

copperstag95 said:I didn't actually say that, per se. But, I suppose, the whole thing just felt a bit... much, if you know what I mean.

the car cooled down while coasting through the turns—he was cruising at 60 mph in neutral...
and then he spent maybe 500 yards riding along with it

I actually rewatched it last night—it’s one of those movies you can just binge in one sitting
My first rating back when I saw it at the local indie theater was an 8/10
Last night? A solid 10/10
Maggie (2015) in Movies ·
Honestly, it’s just painful watching you guys tear him apart like this
I honestly thought it was a Great little movie
I was totally sucked in from start to finish—actually watched it twice over two days just because I couldn't stop wondering where the hell it was heading next.
My head was in a completely different place; I was fully expecting the kids to realize everyone was just some weird alien freak or that Mom was actually the one behind all the chaos...
I was bracing myself for Little Red Riding Hood aliens, werewolves, zombies, the whole nine yards.😁

I definitely didn't see that twist coming, though I can't say I spent much time overanalyzing it.
Honestly, it’s just nice to actually enjoy something for once... it feels pretty rare lately with the stuff I usually end up watching.
The director is a straight-up legend—I was cracking up at his facial expressions and the way he delivers lines.
The Neon Demon in Movies ·
I thought she was great... honestly one of the most stunning actresses I've seen on screen, and man, those teeth were perfect

plus the movie itself is actually pretty solid
Predator 2 in Movies ·
I mean, maybe the Predator uses some pretty weak weapons too...
but I'm guessing a mob could probably take him down😁 with nothing more than forks and shovels
Predator 2 in Movies ·
It’s a decent enough flick, pretty solid overall
My favorite part has to be that moment when the guy says we’ve got a new player in town 😁

And those guns toward the end
Fifty Shades of Grey (2016) in Movies ·
I honestly have no idea how you guys can even attempt to watch this

I really wish I was the type of person who could just sit back and relax 😁
Alphaville in Movies ·
Personally, I’m more of a Weekend guy... though, honestly, I might be mixing that up with that Buñuel film where the characters are stuck in some endless loop, unable to actually get home or reach their destination—I can't quite recall the title...
Alphaville in Movies ·
Look, you just have to embrace it—really get into it and make it your own...
The Watch (2004) in Movies ·
I’ve been dodging this movie on my shelf for nearly a decade now, if you can believe it
I honestly figured it would just be some messy hodgepodge of everything—a total mishmash—and, well, I guess I wasn't wrong
So here I am, wasting my time, and I'm barely fifteen minutes in
It's bad
Kevin Smith's Red State (2011) in Movies ·
The movie wasn't anything special, really
but I guess I still remember it...
Thanks, much appreciated
Sci-fi movie marathon! in Movies ·
It’s weird... I could have sworn there were actually a decent amount of Sci-Fi movies out today
Honeymoon (2014) in Movies ·
Honestly, I thought the movie was actually pretty solid
I really enjoyed it, to be fair
And I can still vividly recall what I ended up watching a few months later 😁 which, compared to the absolute garbage they serve us nowadays, is actually a huge plus
Iranian film recommendations? in Movies ·
I don't know... I've been struggling with this one for days now
It's a good movie, but feels hollow😁
There are some cringey moments
who let you out of the asylum
