Definitely give Raid 2 a watch. A bit less frenetic than the first, but the fight choreography (especially towards the end) is better composed.Watched The Raid again last night, its pretty much the perfect action film 10/10

I just watched The Exorcist. Even dusted off my old blu ray player just to watch the dvd (25th anniversary edition). I could’ve streamed it but whatever. Didnt really plan on watching it just suddenly had the urge to put it on.
As a kid i remember watching it with my mum (and the other movies) I must’ve been about 7 or 8 at the time. I remember being terrified of it but obviously i never really took any of it in at the time so i guess this is my first proper time watching it. Honestly dont know why it took me this long…
Not sure if i will watch the other version of the movie or the 2nd + 3rd but i really enjoyed it.
So since I'm on vacation today I watched:
Woman in the Window
Oxygen
Both are great movies but honestly Oxygen surprised me in such a good way. Best Sci-fi I've seen since Arrival. Really damn good.
I watched Oxygen last night. I really enjoyed it. My only gripe is one that I have with a number of movies,
Oxygen (Netflix): 7/10
Freaky. The twists and turns get kinda excessive later on and you'll feel some whiplash, but a pretty cool concept overall. I enjoyed.
Okay so I just watched Zach Snyder's army of the dead movie. Ultimately my thought on the movie is that it was meh. Really disappointed since I was hoping that this would change my opinion on Snyder movies. He is always a bit off on his movie for me. I like them but I always feel like if they had made a few more tweaks then it would be amazing. Issues with the movie would be the cast although diverse in characters weren't given enough room to really express it most of the time. The main character was boring and a pushover. Like seriously if your going to use Batista make him a complete badass in the movie. I think he has like one scene where he just straight up wrecks some zombies wwf style. The other characters have some flavor but they just aren't spicy enough in the movie. They really covered the diversity race card since they had all of them for the most part in the movie. The action was pretty good at times. They really allowed some characters to really shine in the knife or gunplay department. You can pretty much figure out how the movie is going end almost 15 minutes into the movie. The movie also dragged some times. They probably could have cut 15- 20 minutes from the movie. I'd give this movie a rating of C-. I'd say it was barely enjoyable.
I saw that in the list of movies he directed and I'm pretty sure I saw it but I can't remember a single thing about dawn of the dead.That's a shame. Snyder's Dawn of the Dead is easily, in my mind, the greatest zombie movie ever made. But that was a long, long time ago I suppose. He has obviously changed as a director.
Still, I love Dawn' so much there's no way I am not watching this.
I remember liking Carol a lot when I saw it. I was all, "Oh their love is so delicate and beautiful" etc. But then I thought, "Wait ... would I feel the same way about this movie if it was about two gay guys instead?" Probably not. So I don't know how much the fact that it was in small part softcore lesbian porn contributed to my opinion. But eh, I don't feel all that guilty about it. Solid movie.Carol - Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara fall for each other: 7/10
Honestly, I wouldn't have watched it if it was about 2 dudes. Turns out I like romantic drama movies, specifically ones about lesbians, provided they have an emotionally satisfying end, which generally means the main couple ending up happy together.I remember liking Carol a lot when I saw it. I was all, "Oh their love is so delicate and beautiful" etc. But then I thought, "Wait ... would I feel the same way about this movie if it was about two gay guys instead?" Probably not.

Looks interesting will try watch itAny Ben Wheatley fans? He wrote and shot a new horror movie in a week because why not. Very trippy quarantine woodlands horror, similar to A Field in England but present day. Not going to be everyone's cup of tea, I really liked it but I'm a bit of a fanboy of his.
I'm starting to question if I'm too harsh on the movie after reading tons comments and watching a couple of reviews for this movie. I was just expecting a lot more. So I'd say enjoy yourself when watching this movie.That's a shame. Snyder's Dawn of the Dead is easily, in my mind, the greatest zombie movie ever made. But that was a long, long time ago I suppose. He has obviously changed as a director.

Tremors
This has to be the B movie ever made, its honestly a perfectly paced and set up movie.
Fucking great movie.Flawless
The writing had laid the ground work for this scene to happen
10/10
Same with my old Goodfellas DVD. Have to flip that too .
Amadeus (1984)
I watched this movie literally a dozens of times, but this time - I watched with my 14 year old daughter.
I've been going thru some of my favorite movies with her off and on when she's with me - pop some popcorn and soda, and pop in the old DVD, not even Bluray.
This movie amazes me every time I watch. Storytelling, acting, costume, music and all - and leaves you with amazement. My daughter was quite taken by this movie as well.
The DVD that I have is so old (one of the earlier DVD releases) - that it's recored on both side of the DVD... so I actually had to flip it for the 2nd half of the movie. She got kick out of such old tech.
At the same time, I'm actually glad after 20+ years, this thing actually still plays.
Carol - Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara fall for each other: 7/10
My days of Mercy.Been trying to find something worth a watch but can't. Damn you Netflix.
I ordered the 4K steelbook from Best Buy recently. Will be watching it sometime soon.Jaws
Its been a few years since I've seen this..........
Wow its amazing how well this film works still, I know the shark aint the best, but its doesnt matter, the scene at the end still freaks me out
So many great scenes, obviously the drunk boat scene
10/10
Yeah, kinda mirrors my thoughts. Passable popcorn flick, but nothing to write home about.Okay so I just watched Zach Snyder's army of the dead movie.

The 3rd entry is both my favourite book (my favourite book of all, I'm a little ashamed to admit...) and movie in the series. What do you think the director messed up in the movie?The books are incomparable to the movies. I think the cast selected for Harry Potter is nearly 10/10 but there have been many times where the directors have failed to recreate the greatness of certain moments in the books. PoA and GoF are the films that are most guilty of this, and disappointed the most. SS, CoS, and OotP (films 1, 2, and 5) have been fairly well adapted but I think the 3rd and 4th films could have been much better. Not to say that they aren’t good, but the directors definitely fucked up a few times; failed to replicate some important scenes. I especially take issue with the director of the 4th film. He butchered the beginning. He also completely missed out on a very important part of the story; entirely omitted an important character who played an incredible yet modest role in helping Harry Potter. But the director of the fifth film directed the following three Harry Potter movies I think so I’m betting the rest will be a great show
Jesus fuck this movie was a fart smelling bore. What a heavy-handed piece of shit.Things seen and heard - it stinks
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS*Whiplash
This is a film, on paper, that has no business being this well made.
The final scene is cinema gold imo, you don't even have to have a remote Interest in jazz, to appreciate it
J K Simmons defining role for me, just perfect
Again another 10/10
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS*
I loved the scene with the car crash caused by all the mounting stress and constant rushing. I wasn't expecting a scene like that when I first saw this at all.
Just use the spoiler tags, click the 3 vertical dots, and the eye with a line through it, when editing, u can input spoiler tabs that way
I love the third book. I’ve read it twice; once around the time it came out and just recently in 2019. I still remember the first time reading. The excitement level of the last third of the book was unreal. Stayed up like two hours straight, late into the night reading. I remember feeling worried and nervous and exited all at onceThe 3rd entry is both my favourite book (my favourite book of all, I'm a little ashamed to admit...) and movie in the series. What do you think the director messed up in the movie?
Whiplash is one of the first movies I recommend to people who I'm not sure what genres they like, because I can't think of anything to dislike about it. I can't always recommend slow movies, even if I think they're great, because some people have no attention span. Or comedies, because people have difference sense of humor. Or thrillers, because for some people they may be too convoluted who are too dumb to get it. Whiplash is an easy rec.
Finally got around to seeing Oxygen, and I really liked it. I liked what it ended up going for at the end, even if it's been kinda done before, I still enjoyed it.
Whiplash has no filler, every scene has meaning and adds to the story and characters.
I cant think of a single complaint about whiplash. As said before the last scene is cinema gold, probably one of the brilliantly written end scene, considering there's like maybe like 20 words max said.
To see evny, revenge, ego, power struggle, respect and finally both achieving what the film told you they wanted through out, with hardly any dialogue is amazing,
Sorry to gush lol, its just so well done
My wife and I love Whiplash. Watched it with my mum a few months ago and she got bored during the final "showdown", she wanted it to end.
So there are apparently things to complain about in the movie.
LOL
