Black Panther is overhyped (whoa Teapot, tell me something new). I get why people like it and personally I get all teary eyed when I see how well they managed to merge a beautiful, heartwarming and strong culture with high technological advancement and the Marvel villain actually has some personality ... But the plot is predictable and slow, the humor is lame, the music forgettable (as usual) and the original ending is just meh.
6/10
I walked out of Hereditary in this heavy daze of vicarious heartbreak and dread and almost forgot my purse. It took me like 20 minutes to feel normal again after it was over. It was intense. I personally wasn't that scared but maybe that's because I saw it in a theater with other people. Mostly to me it was a very heavily emotional movie. Highly recommend it to anybody who wants to feel like a movie has punched them in the stomach.
i just keep thinking about this movie and i've watched a bunch of reviews today and the beginning of this one hahaha yes
(he starts giving spoilers about 3:29)
Look Who's Back (Er Ist Wieder Da)
5/5 really enjoyable if you like dark, dry humour. The scariest parts were the interviews shot Gonzo style with unsuspecting people (Sacha Baron Cohen style) who freely shared their views.

Jurrasic World 2 or watever
Blows.
Went to see Phantom Thread, I'd give it a 3.5/4. The whole thing is really charming, even pretty good but it was as if it was left undone... both the atmosphere, the tailoring of the 50's and the dynamics of the romance are interesting, but somehow the director doesn't delve into either of these aspects, in the end I had the impression that something was missing.
But it was fun to be in the theatre, it was full of people and everyone was comments on the romantic choices of the protagonists aloud
Wanted to see this in theaters when it came out but it wasn't showing anywhere around. Reviews said it was boring. They were right. Terribly boring. It was sad and dissapointing.

Watched Sicario a few days ago. Thought it was a really good movie.
Ok, I just watched Hereditary. By myself. lol. Was I scared? Yes, I was. I had my hand over my mouth in a state of shock or over my eyes after prob 30 minutes in. I'm somewhat mortified, thought it was almost as disturbing and fucked up as Mother!, and I slightly regret watching it.
Aw, I feel kinda bad for mentioning it now. Have you seen "room?" Its also a somewhat intense thriller involving a family but it ends on a much more uplifting and kind of beautiful note, its really very touching. I think it might be my favorite movie, since I saw it around a month ago. Its on Netflix.
haha. Thanks, @ashlesha, but it's not your fault. I checked it out a week ago and was bored, and I thought I'd watch it, but I just didn't know what I was getting into lol
I haven't watched Room yet. Maybe I'll give that one a try.
Sicario 2: Day of the Soldado
Didn't think it was as good as the first one, but it seemed to be leading up to the next one, which will hopefully? be better.
Anyone seen The Nutcracker or The Grinch yet? Heard The Nutcracker wasn't very good...I actually really wanted to see it (lol) but now I'm not so sure..maybe I'll just wait until it's out on DVD.
Mandy 10/10 Perfect.
The Predator 4/10 Bad but entertaining, could have skipped the whole hyping autism and the ending was cheesy.
Venom 3/10 Disappointed!
Alpha 5/10
Cold Skin 6/10
The Mule comes out today where I’m at. Think I’ll probably try to see this one in theaters. Looks good.
Aquaman- 5.5/10
The writing/plot was cliche garbage. The effects were superb though and the acting/cast was good.
Death in Venice (1971) An Italian-French film based on a novel by Thomas Mann
I only knew that the soundtrack is from Mahler's 5:th symphony Adagietto movement, and that made me expect a tragedy, because of the music. And also the name of the film of course.
The film takes place in early 20:th century. A middle-aged German artist travels to Lido in Venice to get some rest. There he sees a beautiful young boy.
I think the film is great. Beautiful people, costumes, well recreated pre WWI environment and atmosphere.
The whole film is beautiful and extremely tragic, also the music. I recommend it. Best film I've seen in a really long time.
The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

I watched Downsizing. Options were limited at the time and I thought the previews looked dumb. It turned out not to be as bad as I thought it was going to be. I’d give it maybe a 2.5/5
Thought this was a pretty interesting movie, but didn’t get to finish it....
Yeah...weird movie. Can’t say I liked it either.
4/5 - Good emotional movie that brings the spirit of the original Rocky movies under a new character. Unlike most sequels, it is not a step backward, but continues the momentum built by the first movie.

It creeped me out, but not in the way I expected it to. Which actually made it more disturbing to me.
3.5/5
Overall, a good movie plagued by a mediocre story line with some plot holes and a cliffhanger ending, but the visionary concept and spectacular visuals more than makes up for it. It could of been a near flawless movie if they took the time and effort to write a better script based off of the anime. However, I definitely felt like I got my money's worth watching it on IMAX 3D though as it made great use of it unlike other movies.

Bohemian Rhapsody
I liked it. Subjectively 3/5. It managed to keep my attention. Have a hard time nowadays watching movies all the way through.
Creed 2. Watched the first 1/3 of it and slowly lost interest.
I’ve watched a bunch of movies lately, but I can’t remember all that I’ve watched. Guess they weren’t all that memorable.
About a month ago I saw the movie 'Greta.'
I liked it, mainstream critics didn't like it very much but I thought it was good and it got better and better as time went on. The main protagonist was over-the-top naive and sweet in a way that wasn't very believable but it somehow went well with the movie's campy charm. There were many logical inconsistencies/'wtf that's not how it would happen in real life LOL' moments that would irritate even a Te polr at times- but that wasn't really the point anyway. The point was how psycho and evil and crazy Greta was, which the actress portrayed very nicely. It was criticized for showing a negative portrayal of people who are lonely and isolated (as that was one of Greta's primary motivations for her crimes) but the movie clearly wasn't trying to say that every sad and lonely person would do what Greta does lol. I didn't understand the SJW ness of that point, but whatever. The movie was much more campy than pretentious though- and that's the main reason I enjoyed it, whereas uppity humorless critics probably want something more pretentious. Fuck you, you sourpusses- learn to laugh at Greta dodging bullets by ballet dancing and trolling private investigators who are so dumb they deserve to die. I give it a B+.
Holmes & Watson- Possible the worst, not funny, dumbest movie I’ve ever seen...
The Mule- I liked it, didn’t love it 3.5/5
House with a Clock In it’s walls- aesthetic love, but lacked soul
Watched The Nun. Wasn’t really scared at the time, but at night the creepy nun face started haunting me and I kept getting creeped out thinking I felt something behind me. Now I’m really creeped out by nuns. It wasn’t too bad of a movie.
Surprisingly I kind of liked Aquaman.
Venom was funny in places, but the beginning was slow. Didn’t find it all that great. Kind of boring.
I loved (especially the beginning of) A Star is Born. Probably the best movie I’ve seen in a while.
This one was kind of weird, but I liked the directing. Something ‘crisp’ about it? But yeah it really wasnt my kind of thing, pretty decent though.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms- A pretty movie with no sustenance. The story theme seems a bit overdone and unsurprising.
The Girl in the Spider’s Web- I liked it.
Crazy Rich Asians- I loved it
Slender Man- Not scary. But actresses were good.
Austenland- Cute...Reminds me of good old fashioned 90’s movies
rewatched after 12 years, "The Unknown Woman" 10/10

Titanic...
The most recent Hellboy movie--A weak plot filled with more gore and repulsiveness than anything else I've ever seen in my life. I wasn't expecting much, and not much is exactly what I got.
The most recent Pet Semetary--Grim, creepy, slow-paced, mildly interesting, not scary (which is good, because I'm not sure I enjoy being scared).
The most recent Dumbo--This one I really liked. A solid enough story with solid enough characters. And visually very pleasing; somewhat emotionally stimulating, as well (I teared up at a number of points while watching it).

I finally saw Avengers: Infinity War. Man, the studio isn't even trying any more. It's just, put those familiar characters up on the screen with lots of special effects, turn the crank, and watch the money roll in.
It's like Star Wars, the Umpteenth Episode. Or Dune, Book 1,478.
Three hours of watching paint dry.
