[Kyriakos]

Trap - 2024 Shyamalan movie.
It wasn't good.

[Araval]

MaXXXine (2024)

Classy crime/slasher movie. There were a couple of drawbacks for me but enjoyable if to go with the flow.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

World's Greatest Dad

How do you turn tragedy into comedy?
You give it some distance.
I miss Robin Williams so much, more than I miss my relatives.






Nice poster, boring movie.





Wasn't that impressed.
Too much Ryan ing Reynolds.
Feels like fan-service at this point.

Wolverine & Deadpool

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Two unattractive people reminisce about times when they were young & less unattractive.

Blue Jay

[Kyriakos]

Aging sucks

Maxine was great, she deserved a better movie. (the ending is horrible imo).

[John Doe]

Alien Romulus: same story, different actors

[Kyriakos]

The Watchers (2024).
This was quite lame, unfortunately. What if we have a variant of Trollhunter, without the hunting or other fun, using Irish mythology. No

[mishkin]

Longlegs.

1- Hail Satan.
2- Bad movie. Anyone saying that this has any resemblance to the silence of the lambs should be in jail.

[Kyriakos]

Cage did have a couple of nice moments ^^ I liked the yelling in the car.
The movie feels very empty, though.

[Ishan]

Alien Romulus: same story, different actors

Is it worth a watch in the IMAX Movie Theatre?

I'm a simple man, I want to know if I should be afraid of someone or laugh at them.

The movie feels very empty, though.

I read in an amateur review that this was intentional. Maybe I'll watch the movie again with this in mind.

Horizon an American saga chapter 1: doesn't know what it wants to be, uneven: some scenes are Unforgiven, other rom-com, others dances with wolves...Feels like the marketing team wanted to please too large a demographic. Not all bad but some parts are offputting.

Same here, though I think I'll revisit it once the whole thing is released. I get the sense it wants to be like "War and Peace" in the American West. Many characters woven together in a fabric of stories that (presumably) will eventually converge. However, none of the stories seem all that compelling up front. Also it's spaced out over numerous locations and not all that easy to visualize where we are at any given point in the action. Maybe a GoT style key to the many locations would have helped

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

How about we take all elements from previous movies, crammed them into one version but also keep the trashy ideas just for good fun?
Of all the cool things they could've then, they HAD to revive the most idiotic concept at the end...

The Neomorph

[John Doe]

Is it worth a watch in the IMAX Movie Theatre?

I think regular theater would do, even though waiting for free on tv is better.
I forgot to mention a really stupid idea from the scenario, not a big spoiler since it's early in the movie

a synthetic with learming difficulties, yet held as an actual brother by one of the characters, WTFF

[Halie Satanus]

Longlegs.

1- Hail Satan.
2- Bad movie. Anyone saying that this has any resemblance to the silence of the lambs should be in jail.

Silence of the Lambs, dash of Zodiac pinch of The Omen, done arthouse style with Nick Cage in over the top mode.

I didn't hate it but.... The VVitch is a far better movie.

Should have listened to you...

Highly improbable movie.

You mean to tell me that this mofo escaped a concert hall full with police but gets trapped by Lady Gaga?
Come on now!

[Kyriakos]

Besides, she already knew his name and surname So what exactly was the point of being so mad that his family was told when they'd know about it anyway even if he just left? ^^

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

A mix of Blade Runner, Terminator and Ghost in the Shell.
Animation was ok, Character Design sort of lame.

7/10

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Very creepy & unrecognizable Nicolas Cage.



Longlegs

This was fun to watch.
A bit predictable but ok.

7/10.
