What movie did you see recently?

Checked out Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell and I honestly thought it was fucking horrible. Most of the scares in the movie are jump scares, and the twists and entire set up of the plot was just dumb as well.
 
Watching Shin Godzilla tonight. I like the idea of a kaiju attack being handled realistically as I've seen the same thing done well before with Dai-Guard and Kamen Rider Kuuga. But this just felt very heavy handed in it's politics and I just lost interest.

I watched Gerald's Game with a friend on Netflix and it was entertaining until a certain point, where everything seemed to detatch and we didn't realize what we were watching. Like the plot went 180 somehow and the rudimentary psychological creepiness turned into nonsense. Reviews were good but to me it just kind of fell apart somewhere and wasn't good anymore. But went to The Disaster Artist tonight and it was great.

I absolutely love that movie because it's ridiculous and shamelessly gross. Me and my buddy ordered donair pizza and that scene when the dead lady's corpse falls over and drips fluid into the chick's mouth made me gag right while I'm taking a bite of this oily, creamy pizza and I almost puked. I legit couldn't eat after that scene. Stupidly fun and gross.

Annihilation. It was ok, not bad and not great also. My main complaint is most of the parts about the woman's past should have been cut.

Annihilation:A Cuckold Odyssey.

Murder on The Orient Express. Quite enjoyable, even if the reveal seemed a bit silly. Kenneth Brannagh deserves an oscar for tolerating that moustache.
 
Maze Runner: The Death Cure.
Haven’t seen the last two movies. But it was pretty inaccurate to the book.

You do know it's a horror comedy like Tremors or Shaun Of The Dead right? It's not a serious horror film.

i watched two european animated films: cinderella the cat and the girl with no hands. the thing they had in common was a character with a disability.
 
Classic Japanese cinema, Battles without Honor or Humanity. It was a little hard to follow, as it takes place over a ten year period with all these characters changing appearances. Still, I want to see the rest of the films in the series.

Tomorrow night, I'm thinking of watching a Chuck Norris film.

I saw a parody of that in Pop Team Epic. I kinda want to watch the movies as well at some point.

Brothers and I saw Pacific Rim 2, and I enjoyed it. Yeah, first is better of course, and the beginning was quite exposition heavy and too fast for my tastes, but I feel like they were expanding a bit more on some ideas, or even fixing a couple of issues some people might've had. One common complaint is that the Jaegars not Gypsy Danger are taken out of commission almost as soon as we see them, which is not much of an issue this time around. The climax I think was well-done in that regard.

I think my favorite thing about this is that they took something a bit insignificant, yet important as drifting with a Kaijuu brain and gave it a horrifying consequence that might've been brought up once in the first film. Like damn the reveal weirded me out so fucking much, but I just really liked the idea because it got me to think back and go "Oh yeaaaah!"

Also there might be some China-pandering going on since they did a bait-and-switch about who the villain was in having us think this CEO lady was the one behind the rouge Jaegar attacks--which yes, got me to think of the 13th Angel from Evangelion as it happened, this movie will never get away from the parallels--but I think it's still executed just fine.

It has quite the sequel hook, though I wonder if that has anything to do with the proposed animated series? I could've sworn that was being made, hadn't really heard about it in ages.

My opinion might change after I let this sink in some more, but I was quite pleased nonetheless and got my giant robot fix in the meantime. Some people have issues with it and aren't liking it as much, but it's a movie where giant robots beat the shit out of monsters with some science mumbo-jumbo that may not even be plausible anyway and it knows this.
