I've been on an Asian horror kick, so I watched "Memento Mori" the other day. Planning to watch "Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman" later tonight!

I have been watching every Transformers movie and did a week long marathon of the Bayformers and i regret the life choices that i've made from the day i was born (Age of Extinction was my favorite)

EDIT: AoE is my favorite of the Live Actions but One and '86 reign supreme.

Spider-Man (2003), Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3

I really need to rewatch the Sam Raimi trilogy. I've never seen the third one.

 

[solnK!]

Not orignal at all but it gets the job done on a wonderful way, laughed a lot.

Yeah. It is memetic even if "worst" of them all. I would only give it half a star less than the rest. It was fun as I ended up marathoning the three films, Amazing Spider-Man 1 and 2, and then MCU Man to No Way Home. Bit more fun to see after a re/first watch. Had not ever seen Amazing Spider-Man films before.

Bumblebee is pretty good too

I watched Earwig last night. Not the Ghibli movie. This one is just called Earwig. I don't really recommend it to most people because they are not likely to get much enjoyment out of it. It's almost two hours long with hardly any dialog. No one utters a word for the first 23 minutes. It's a film that mostly expresses itself through sound and atmosphere. It does this very well. But the plot is confusing and full of symbolism.

It's based on a book and the main character has super hearing. But the film does not express this well at all. So I didn't even realise it until after I read a review that talked about the book itself. I want to read. it. In the film the main character, Albert, is paranoid and downright bizarre. He's taking care of a girl in his home who has no teeth. So he freezes teeth for her from her own saliva. This is better explained in the book from what I've read. He gets phonecalls from his "Master" who asks how the girl is doing and tells him that she'll be ready to leave in 13 days. Some dentist gives her a cat that hates Albert. They go on a train. There's a parallel story about a bar waitress who albert accidentally disfigured with a broken bottle. She's addicted to laudinum after her injury and some guy is in love with her and wants her to live with him.

Everything just gets off the rails weird and somewhat nonsensical. It turns out that:

Spoiler

The girl, Mia, is Albert's daughter. He seems to have blanked this out in his mind because his wife died giving birth to her. There's no "Master". It's just the guy who runs the orphanage. Albert seems completely unwilling to recognise this fact and says he's just caring for Mia as her guardian.

I get this part and it's a very interesting plot point. But it's at the end of the movie and isn't really developed.

I think this may be a reverse Pontypool situation where in this case the movie makes a lot less sense than the book.But since I haven't read Earwig I don't actually know.

 

[Kiddo perkedel]

On my watchlist, I've been waiting for this one I didn't feel disappointed with the last Jurassic world franchise, I just love those extinct creature so much

 

[Taukyrie]

I watched Night of the Lepus the other day and that was a fun-bad movie. Like all the trailers and stuff try to hide the fact that it's about giant killer rabbits and you can tell that it's filmed on sets and they're trying to make the rabbits look threatening. It's fun if you're riffing on it with friends.

Today I watched the musical Camelot. I honestly enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It was a musical, but it was quite enjoyable. Honestly would be fun to watch with friends probably.

 

[Sfjeov]

Just finished watching A Tale of Two Sisters (2003) and it was pretty scary. Anyways I'm about to watch Terrified (2017).

 

[Taukyrie]

Die! Die! My Darling! (1965)

It's alright. It's well acted and has a lot of suspense and stuff. Though I think you can only really watch it once and not again, mostly because of how it can feel a bit painful to sit through due to what's happening.

I recently watched all of the Saw movies. One per night. The only ones I had previously seen were Saw and Jigsaw. I wasn't too happy about having to watch Jigsaw again. But I had to do it by the book.

Spiral is a side story with another copycat Jigsaw killer. Chris Rock and Samuel L Jackson were very entertaining and I liked it. But it felt like that didn't fit the general atmosphere of the series. I wouldn't be surprised if someone was shopping around a Chris Rock cop movie and the only way to sell it was to attach a well known franchise to it. That's how we ended up with all those bizarrely out of whack Hellraiser movies. I loved Hellseeker though. It feels kind of like something out of Silent Hill.

So you want to make a movie where Chris Rock is a cop going after a serial killer? I dunno... How about we make it part of the Saw series? Jigsaw was bad and people love Samuel L Jackson. We'll give him like three scenes and add a bunch of Forest Gump jokes.

My main issue with Jigsaw was how badly they handled the timeline.

Spoiler

Essentially, the game you see taking place actually happened ten years earlier. The bodies the police found are from Logan's copycat game where he chose similar victims. Eleanor's fascination with Jigsaw and her creepy engineering skills are a red herring. I thought Logan was too suspicious too soon and it felt cheap. The sudden timeline reveal also felt cheap. It was done better in Saw 2 when the cops realise too late that they aren't watching a live feed. The way the plot works in Jigsaw felt like they weren't sure what they wanted to do and kept rewriting it. Plus they wanted to shock you with "John is still alive?!

But of course he's not and I'm so glad they didn't try to go such a cheap and stupid route.

I was really impressed with Saw X. I thought it was really well done and tied into the medical trial John was denied coverage for in Saw 6.

I've been watching some J-horror movies recently. Just finished watching Marebito and that was one hell of a mid life crisis. That movie was unhinged all the way to the end.

Anyways, I've been planning to watch Noroi: The Curse today.

 

[Kamomedan]

Couple of movies i watched recently. I loved both a lot and Samurai flicks are just top notch most of the times. The gore and action in Blade of the Immortal was insane but awesome. Hara-kiri was an emotional tale but kept me enthralled from beginning to end. I plan on watching the original sometime.

 

[solnK!]

Haven´t laughed with a movie like this in ages

I'm not really into watching movies at the moment. There is already enough to watch but I somehow don't feel like it.

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

For the 40 years anniversary I've watched this classic two days ago (around the day of the movie's events in 1985):

 

[DanCalibur]

 

[Kamako]

After many years of never quite getting around to it, I finally watched

It was captivating! The first 10 mins being set in Northern Iraq was very unexpected. The performances were very good across the board, special shout-out to Lee J. Cobb. Wasn't expecting to see him here, but he's always a treat.

The real stars however were the make-up and the cinematography. The film utilises a tonne of different shots and styles, it felt at once both professional and amateurish, conventional and arthouse. Good stuff.

 

[G.L.a.D.O.S.]

Oh lucky me, with nothing better to do today, I rewatch the masterpiece that is the original IT with Tim Curry, because clearly, no one else can even come close to being Better.
Honestly, the remake? A joke. I’d rather stare at paint dry. Also, I dabble in some spooky season art
