The "I just saw" thread

Kompromat (2022)

In general, I liked it. Just the ending was a bit raw for me.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Halloween Ends

...badly.
such a piece of feminist crap.

[mishkin]

it is indeed garbage, but feminism has nothing to do with it

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Oh yeah?

You mean, it didn't have

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

two strong female leads taking out the main antagonist?
Funny, they did the exact same thing in the last Halloween

Bodies Bodies Bodies

Not great but certainly not as bad as Halloween Ends.
Gets downright psychoanalytical towards the end.

Conclusion is hilarious.
8/10.

[mishkin]

halloween ends doesn't suck because the two main michael's antagonists (they are not even "strong") are women. That's all I wanted to say and I guess it's not even debatable.

Pearl: 3/5, Mia Goth is awesome.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Yeah, whatever you say, chief.

The Infernal Machine

Good, not great, but decent.
Strikes a different cord when you're a writer.

[mishkin]

La Cérémonie. great. maybe the first Chabrol film I've seen, but it's never too late

[John Doe]

La poison old fashion wit, very enjoyable

[mishkin]

Preparations to Be Together for an Unknown Period of Time. Also maybe my first (and not last) hungarian movie. cool (3/5)

[Kyriakos]

I am watching the new Beavis and Butthead series. It's ok, but more middle-aged Beavis and Butthead episodes would have been preferable imo

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Old Man

Colonel Quaritch in a log cabin.
Just Stephen Lang being his jolly, monstrous self.

Wonder if I'll end up like this: in my PJ's, in some cabin somewhere, just waiting for some random salesman to entertain me...

[mishkin]

Ticket to paradise, Roberts/Clooney, awful. I saw it after hearing a lot of people say it was the way to revive classic/quality rom-coms on a low (relatively) budget. the horror.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

So bad, it's worse.

Avoid this movie if you like plot, drama and well-rounded characters.
It started well but it deflated really fast.

Vinessa Shaw is the perfect mother.

We Need to Do Something 2021






Now, as much as I hate Pete Davidson, this was cute.
Real cute.

Meet Cute 2022

[mishkin]

Barbarian 2022 Original, funny and smart

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Very suspenseful, very long.
Slept through most of it.
True Story.

[Kyriakos]

Barbarian (2022).
Imo it was meh. Rather forced/stitched up act2, weak resolution, not memorable antagonist.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

The Watcher

Great show.

[Lord of the Drunk Penguin]

Elvis (2022)

What kind of a traumatic seizure inducing spastic editing mess was this?!
Tik-Tok movie for a Tik-Tok generation.

The King deserved better.

[mishkin]

The Innocents (2022)

Great movie, hard to watch

[Araval]

Lost Highway (1997)

It had some good moments but overally it wasn't worthwhile.
