I thought this was gonna be a woman pushed to the edge who goes bananas but it’s more
Like a woman who is having the absolute worst day of her life and compounds it by making more bad choices … some of the dialogue was awful there’s absolutely no nuance here .. not grading it because I stopped watching at one point ..

It ls good but without the uniqueness and origin story unfolding as it did the first time it loses a little soemthing and feels a bit generic now. Still good, still really fun, just a little step down.. totally possible this might just grow on me with more with rewatches too because the first one did

Had to watch this out of curiosity since the legendary 82 version is one of my favorites. This was a fun watch but I feel pretty neutral about it .. It's dated, but interesting as a sci-fi historical artifact.

The list of movies that have made my stomach turn from being gross is short and so is the list that turned it from feeling that sad gut punch .. this did both ! What a gnarly grief driven film, sally hawkins is a total wrecking ball of a person and the slow build to the catastrophic final third is sooooo good. Another winner from the talk to me crew ..

I liked everything except the runtime really .. interesting concept characters and dystopian set..

Wicked death scenes ☠️ the best I’ve seen in a while , just gory fun that sat with me after I left the theatre looking over my shoulder for signs of death gathering to get me !

Well, I don’t think this is intended to be a miniseries so I hope it is off this site soon because after watching the whole thing there was a pretty significant buildup for a season two… that being said along from some CGI which I wasn’t a huge fan of the overall story was cool and took cues from a lot of previous alien invasion stuff/ apocalyptic films .. this was like a mishmash of
The mist
Them
Invasion of the body snatchers 

Hope it gets renewed 🤞

This is gonna be about Andor too … which was amazing !! I’m so bummed it’s over and I need the Dedra / Cyril spin off ! I wish all the modern Star Wars stuff had the same grit to it that this series / film did..what an epic battle , the beach scene is like a war film

Pretty heavy for a marvel flick and reminded me of one of my favorites at one point - Pulse - I didn’t realize it was going to actually be a good marvel movie I only went because my better half wanted to see it 🤣 I was pleasantly surprised …

I don’t think I’ve seen this much blood shed since project wolf hunting .. tons of splatter, action , cool shots , electronic drops, gritty city and sketchy fuckers everywhere ..

Gotta catch up on gangs of London next !! More chaos

Expertly crafted which wasn’t much of a surprise! The music scenes though at points were honestly amazing .. it’s not really a musical but it kind of is at times .. great cast , very sexy , awesome tension .. obvious comparisons to dusk till dawn and 30 days of night..

Not a bad little thriller , isolated location where one thing leads to another and everyone is fucked .. kinda reminds me of Fargo with a splash of Tarantino .. it’s not as amazing as that though .. but good , solid

I’m gonna skip rating this because I only watched about half of it. It was just not intriguing to me whatsoever and it suffered from what commonly turns me off in Korean thrillers— characters being goofy and comical.

Some dark humour & it doesn’t play it safe really . From the same director as “coming home in the dark” which I thought that was good but these are very different movies .. Geoffrey Rush and John lithgow basically just go at eachother and lithgow is completely unhinged.. don’t expect Oscar’s but you’ll be entertained.

An amazing visual treat, super colorful but dystopian and steampunk. There is no dialogue and the plot is pretty ambiguous, but nevertheless I felt myself connecting with the characters and getting emotion out of it.. cool stuff it needs to be seen and I don’t get how they’re so few reviews for this!! it reminds me of 
Children of the lost city 
Brazil
Savage planet 
And again, while the story might not be nearly as coherent as the above references, it’s still a sight to be seen..

It’s got a good escalation of violence going for it. It’s kind of depressing though .. I have this neighbor who will occasionally scream at me through the wall, then I’ll see her the next day and she’ll smile at me as though nothing happened. I feel like this movie takes that type of scenario to a whole new level. This also reminds me of God‘s country, which is a similar scenario of neighbors slowly getting more and more pissed off at each other, but I thought that that was better.. there’s a family dynamic that’s explored Just a tiny bit in this movie as well and maybe it could’ve benefited from more of that.

Decent thriller with a little dialogue that I really liked so at least there was that. 

You’re all fixated on one thing and think it caused the situation. 
You see most tragedies in life are caused by a combination of circumstances we can’t control ..

This review may contain spoilers.

Kinda reminds me of what happens when we dream , we take things from life and they get all distorted and crazy in our dreams .. I ed this was beautiful but I’d forgotten how sad it could be.

I didn’t know how this was going to end but I figured he was going to live but I googled halfway thru b/c this was stressful !!! It’s a simple story but it’s well made and doesn’t waste any time. Unbelievable how he managed to survive .. that’s crazy

Threw this on, and it was surprisingly good ! Some of the acting and dialogue is mediocre and borders on cheesy at points, but the story is crazy and it keeps it moving along really nicely, a good quick watchif you can be forgiving of its lesser qualities .. the twists are great… landing somewhere between a 2 1/2 and a three for me, but I’m gonna be generous because this was clearly made with a low budget and again the surprises of the story were neat..

There’s been plenty of robot stories gone wrong and this has a unique twist on it and a pretty good back story but overall I can’t say I cared about most of the cast that much. If it sparks your interest check out but I wouldn’t go too out of your way for it …pretty average

This review may contain spoilers.

Some chuckles but man the script was infuriatingly asinine .. how they all managed the situation and lack of Security was just really dumb

This has a nice mix of feeling very modern and classic along with a great soundtrack and sexy cast.. fassbender really sounds monotone though the more I hear him and I thought it worked great in the killer and def Prometheus but sometimes it’s a little bland .. simple story but good twists ..

This review may contain spoilers.

This was strange … drawing lines between someone dying of a zombie virus and ALS ?  It came off as very forced feeling.. And the woman on the run just constantly running into ubernice people ? The vibes were just all over the place..

Mehgalomaniac…. Was ok , not a whole lot going on . Kinda felt like I watched a dragged out NIN music video .. it’s gory and disturbing though

Watched on Saturday March 8, 2025.

slasher that knows not to take itself too seriously and just entertains ya .. nice n bloody , pretty funny - it’s a delight! Little cheesy at times though

My better half brought up the Dexter / doakes 
“Surprise mother fucker” reel on YouTube right before we watched this and the guy says “heart eyes mother fucker” so of course now the title is completely always heart eyes motherfucker 🩸 🗡️ 👀  I hope it’s stuck in your head now too 🤯 🤣

You know, sometimes … it’s better not to know 

This might not hit quite as hard once you know the twists but it’s still an anxiety inducing engrossing story .. glad I rewatched

Wow other than one of the girls being a little unnecessarily bitchy this feels so accurate. A few girls on vacation and it’s exciting and fun but also awkward, uncomfortable and horrible.

Really strong debut from Molly walker .. looking forward to whatever she does next

This review may contain spoilers.

The entire middle where they go off looking for Ivan really kind of slowed things down to a detriment for me, plus it didn’t seem to know when to end … but I really enjoyed the rest of it.

Grim vibes , small town madness .. this reminds me of something that’s like a cross between Stephen King and Mike Flanagan.. it’s got some solid build at points, could’ve used a little more to the back story but ehhh it was good .. almost feels like the origin story or the beginning of a series

The story this is based on is pretty heartbreaking and you get that at points, but it more feels like watching a legal TV procedural.. Dark waters is much more effective at creating the sense of dread form this type of situation.

Everyone is so unlikable and this is predictable but it’s a decent train wreck I guess

Clever plot, some nice dark humor. I thought part of the motivation was a little flimsy though.

A mix of family drama and ghost story which I really liked. The way it’s shot and you’re slowly given little bits of info pulled me into the story & I wanted more .. unfortunately not everything was wrapped up well enough though . I have some gripes with this and I’m curious to see it again because I wonder if perhaps small details will help me understand it better .. the end gave me chills ! It’s fresh for the supernatural sub genre for sure ..

This review may contain spoilers.

Bumping this up another half star because of how bat shit crazy it is ! The last third is so unexpected but I don’t completely understand it either!

Why is Amanda’s hair cut so awful !! It’s like the bowl cut my mom gave me in the 70’s

They turned an entire trope into a plot …

Still one of the sweetest and most beautiful things I’ve seen

Watched on Saturday February 22, 2025.

“You’re  confusing suicide with self destruction 
Almost none of us commit suicide
And almost all of us self-destruct
In someway
In some part of our lives
Isn’t self destruction coded into us programmed into each cell “

Many great parts to this film and that is 1 of mine for sure ..

So this had an interesting psychological element to it, but it could’ve been much shorter and it was overall kind of anti-climactic I think with certain elements not even being wrapped up well.. nothing very special you haven’t seen before if you’ve watched political thrillers.. it’s not terrible it’s just kinda average ..

The world is a horrible place

if you wanna feel better about the current state that we’re living in, just watch this… this was just so fucked up

20 mins too long but cool monsters , world building and action … I didn’t feel much chemistry between the leads but also Anya’s accent makes me laugh and miles comes off as a bit robotic ..

Somewhat interesting, there arent really any practical takeaways you get from it in regards to living longer though & there’s a ton of stuff about his relationship with his son that I don’t know why it’s relevant, also how he left his religion.. they could’ve tied his relationship with his son to living longer (this is something covered in the docs about blue zones where they live the longest - how relationships help ) and they didn’t … anyways the guy is committed I’ll give him that and he’s willing to try all kinds of crazy shit..
