Some very weird stuff, some very interesting stuff.

As it often is, I preferred the first half of this movie to the other half, but the second half was by no means bad.

The acting was great.

Good watch.

James McAvoy was peak in this role. Some of the decisions made were so stupid though, that damn bunny.

Longlegs follows the story of an FBI agent called Lee Harker as she delves into the strange string of familicides orchestrated by the titular 'Longlegs'.

The story is an interesting fusion of detective thriller, the supernatural, Nicholas Cage, and a touch of satanism.

I found the movie to be visually amazing; lots of great shots in here. In of plot I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery overhanging the first two parts, but didn't feel the payoff in the third part was particularly interesting for me.

Worth watching.

This is a great movie, especially when watching in light of recent events. I felt that the final act was a little rushed in places, but other than that I really enjoyed it.

I thought the ending was the best part. I didn't find it particularly unnervering or disturbing but I liked the spiritual succession aspect.

I liked the premise and plague doctors are cool.
It wasn't really scary though, I wish more had happened with it.

The cinematography was very cool (wtf was that)

'The Commitments' follows the story of a manager and his newly formed band who dream of musical stardom.

Starting small we watch this group of working class young adults creep towards success as they go gig to gig making a name for themselves. I appreciate the realism of this one; the dialogue felt natural and the conflict genuine. Throughout we see clashes of interest and character that cause ruptures in their uneasy alliance, eventually culminating in their final performance. In the end everything may not have gone to plan, but they, and we as an audience, are left with memories and hope.

The music was amazing and it was really funny at times, definitely recommend.

It was quite funny and quite depressing, a perfect mix for a movie.

Justice for that dangling surfboard thingy.

In seriousness, I enjoyed it and Jennifer Lawrence is great in a comedy role; though watching Mockingjay Part 2 after this is gonna be mental.

Biblically accurate stairway experience.
Plus that overhead sequence was crazy.

This is the first Jordan Peele movie that I have watched recent enough to actually .

I really enjoyed the first part of this movie. The horror, tension, and mystery was built up well through good cinematography, and an intriguing concept. The final act was good, but I feel that a lot of the tension was lost and too many questions were left unanswered to the point that I was left feeling uninformed, rather than feeling intrigued by the wider mystery.

I think it is definitely worth a watch, but I do wish it retained more of the horror aspect.

Not really sure what to say about this one, I just thought it was pretty good.

I really enjoyed this movie, the concept is great, the effects are great, and the mystery is great. (Also that chess foreshadowing was cool.)

The only thing that drops it down for me is the stupidity of the decisions at points. In this kind of scenario the worst thing you can possibly do is split up, yet they consistently do it, especially towards the end. I understand this is basically necessary for there to be a conflict, but some of the decisions felt entirely unrealistic to me and brought me out of the story.

This feels like the kind of movie that would be just as good, if not better, on a rewatch. Recommend.

Depressingly beautiful.

I really wanted to like this movie but honestly nothing really happens. It's not very scary and the characters were just incompetent. I really like found footage so it gets points for the concept, plus the build up to the movie's release sounds pretty cool.

I feel like it's one of those things you should at least watch once, but other than that it was kinda boring.

I think this movie is important as a segue into the last movie and is good at portraying the increasing conflict with the rise of the rebellion. I do wish it gave time to some of the other characters like Haymitch.

I know some people were upset at the lack of actual Hunger Games, but honestly there is no way they could have fit into the story.

I'm looking forward to seeing the finale. Recommend.

Similarly to the first, I have seen this movie before but it was so long ago that I recalled basically nothing of it.

I think this movie is a very good continuation of the previous, even outclassing it in certain aspects. The movie has the liberty of exploring the wider political and societal context of the world built in the previous, which to me is the most interesting part. The games this time around benefitted from a more interesting arena but on the whole felt less like the central focus, though that is not necessarily a bad thing.

I look forward to seeing how the sequels continue the story. Definitely worth a watch.

I have watched this movie before but I was much, much younger so ed very little.

It is a great concept for a movie, and to me was my first exposure to something like the 'death game' genre.

I did feel that it was very fast paced at points and so I think it would have benefitted from a longer run time. I also feel that it is a movie that will be elevated by seeing the sequel/s; I hope the rest are just as good.

Definitely worth watching.

This movie was visually stunning, every shot felt so real and intimate, almost liminal. It addresses obsession and loneliness, a take on love that felt to me like a breath of fresh air.

Definitely recommend, especially if you love cinematography.

Something you can just sit down and enjoy. Would recommend.

I think it was okay, I just don't think it's my type of movie but I can understand why people might enjoy it.

I am a sucker for found footage and this movie absolutely delivered. For the most part this movie felt incredibly raw and real, it drew me straight in.

I see a lot of criticism that some of the characters behaved quite annoying at times, which I get, but to me it felt more realistic that way.

Absolutely recommend, honestly debating giving 5 stars.

These people need to learn to leave dogs alone 🙏🙏

Not much to say other than it's a good movie. Animation was great and I loved a lot of the dialogue. I did find myself preferring the earlier half of the movie though.

Oh also this movie has made me want to get cheddar cheese from Tesco; it's just got that vibe.

Decided to watch this because it's going off Netflix soon and it's a classic that I've always meant to see.

I really enjoyed this movie for essentially all the reasons most people enjoy it: the opener was great and it's a movie that doesn't hesitate to poke fun at its own genre (I love meta humour).

I appreciate how the killer isn't just a physical brick wall in this one, it makes the killer feel a lot different to say Michael Myers. It's also just a good slasher movie, I really liked how it blended in a 'whodunit' aspect which you don't often get with these kinds of movies. Despite the fact I already knew the identity of the killer (the movie is 30 years old so spoilers were kinda hard to avoid) it was still entertaining, plus there was still an extra twist that I wasn't aware of.

Definitely a great watch.

Such an interesting concept for a film, and it's executed in an intriguing and emotional way. It's a beautiful story about memory and acceptance that begs the question of whether it is right to forget the things you believe are wrong in life, even if they are what shape you.

My only real critique is that I didn't find myself particularly invested in some of the subplot characters.

Great movie.

The acting in this movie was impeccable. Got me so invested and stressed over something I know so little about. And that final scene, damn. Absolute banger of a film.

Beautiful movie. The cinematography and the plot were great and the revelation was amazing.

It seemed to me that some of the dialogue and actions of some of the characters came across a bit overly confrontational or dense in order to warrant exposition or highlight the protagonist; though this is only a small gripe and does not take away massively from the movie.

Definitely recommend.

I actually quite enjoyed this movie until the ending, that was just ew.

Leave this man alone for your own safety 🙏🙏

Such a simple concept but it's pulled off masterfully, great film. 12 men sitting in a room and deliberating over a boy's life. Doesn't need any extra flare or effects, it knows exactly what it wants to and does it amazingly.

Stumbled across a clip from this when I was younger and it scared me like crazy. Long time later I decided to try finding the origin of the clip and stumbled across this.

Very unsettling, and at times goofy, Japanese found footage anthology style horror.

Valid crashout tbf
