I watched Funny Games for Halloween!
People said it was really disturbing but I thought it was kind of funny during some parts! The dialogue of the 2 antagonists was really entertaining but I'm not sure how well it translates in the US version. I still enjoyed the movie though, I just wasn't shocked by it at all, maybe I didn't immerse myself enough? The movie is supposed to be a critique at violent horror movies and being entertained by people suffering but I was rooting for the killers so I guess I didn't empathize as much with the family (´ω`)
Still I highly recommend the movie! I didn't watch the US version but I've heard it's a shot for shot recreation so maybe go with that one instead if you're a native English speaker!

I just saw cats. it was overall enjoyable but I hated some parts of it.
ian mckellan meowing and lapping up milk from a bowl was awful to watch. I hated the cockroach eating scene. mungojerrie and rumpleteazer was fine but they didn't really do much dancing it felt and they didn't do the double cartwheel. i hated how they made mephistopheles(my favorite character) so unconfident and completely changed the vibe of his introduction.
also the cgi was pretty nice, their fur looked nice and soft and their hair and ears moved like cats do which was some nice additions. as someone who really likes the musical i'd still give it a 5/5 though since it was overall nice to see it on the big screen

Today I watched Pi!
It's a rather confusing movie about Math, kabbalah and the stock market! It reminded me of David Lynch, although the plot was a lot easier to follow than something like Mulholland Drive since the narrative was pretty linear without any weird time jumps! I also enjoyed the soundtrack a lot, it sounded like something out of Silent Hill at times!
The movie gets a bit scary at certain parts, overall it was a very interesting watch although I wouldn't recommend it if you don't enjoy weird and slightly scary movies!

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)
I enjoyed the fuck out of it. I went to see it with my adoptive niece, and she also enjoyed it.
Although I don't know what to make of the fact that she started flossing in the theater when Sonic did it on screen..

I recently watched Akira. While the plot was pretty mediocre to me, the art direction and animation was God-tier. That alone gives it a good score in my book. Man, I love 80s-90s anime.

I went to go see the Sonic movie too with my younger cousins. They really enjoyed it and I thought it was really cute despite it messing with part of the Sonic canon, triggering my autism. My cousins especially liked the part where Tails came in the end.

Practically everyone did.

I agree. I'm excited to see what the writers will do with the next film! I mean, they have all of the story laid out for them. They should be able to follow up well enough.

It does look like some post-apocalyptic version of Angel Island from Sonic 3 doesn't it? I just noticed that.

Anyways, I highly anticipate the sequel as well. Hopefully they focus it more on Sonic this time however than the human guy and his wife. They weren't bad in the movie but they were just uninteresting to me.

The cowboy hat was really adorable. I'm glad they fixed him up. His design was really cute but the only thing that bothered me is the fact that for some reason, Americans love making his arms blue. I sound like Chrischan but it's just so weird to me.

On another note, I really thought they were gonna pull a space jam on us and just animate Sonic (Which I also would have loved). However 2D animation are very rare to see in this day in age in the west. Or atleast use the model in the games like they did in that Progressive commercial.

I would've loved to see that! Well, at least we are getting a Space Jam 2 next year. Hopefully it's as good as the first.

I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind today!
I'm usually not a big fan of romances but I really enjoyed this one, it kept me interested in the characters until the very end! That might be because of the sci-fi elements and tons of plot twists though. Still I think it's one of the best movies I've seen the past couple of months, if you enjoy romances or liked Inception I'd recommend it!

I watched the 1973 release of The Wicker Man!
I was very surprised by the lack of bees... Despite the fact that everyone knows the ending and nothing actually scary happens throughout the majority of the movie it was actually a very enjoyable watch! It feels more like a crime mystery rather than a horror movie but the town and characters all create a very spooky atmosphere and there's a constant feeling of paranoia throughout the movie! I'd recommend it to fans of subtle horror movies, especially if you somehow don't know how the movie ends! Just don't look it up online before watching...

I just watched Irréversible!
It's the second New French Extremity movie that I've watched, the first one being High Tension, which aside from the big twist ending was a pretty average slasher movie for the most part. It's also the second movie I've watched that tells its story in reverse chronological order! It's a pretty brutal and at parts confusing movie, the wild camera work and French audio didn't help much there but at least everything made sense once the credits rolled. It's obviously a rather experimental movie but I enjoyed it and think it's definitely worth a watch, although I don't think I'd recommend it to /nen/frens who are sensitive to violence... That 10 minute rape scene was a bit much...

I just watched The Wailing!
It was very disturbing and a tad confusing but it combines a lot of horror tropes in one movie with a tense story that had me guessing about what's really going on until the very end! The plot revolves around the concept of faith and the movie reminded me a bit of The Exorcist, it's pretty long too so if you're looking for something short and spooky that doesn't involve too much thinking I'd probably look for something else to watch this Halloween but otherwise I'd highly recommend it!

I don't watch movies, when someone recommends one, I just say "okay I will take a look at it" and never watch it.
Movies are generally made for a wide audience and the ideas conveyed in them are either plain wrong or just expressed very poorly.
I don't like movies, at least not in their current state.

I often agree with you and I dont watch movies much either as a result, but there are still some that depict more interesting ideas well. And more which, even if they dont fully flesh out interesting ideas, are just very aesthetic or otherwise interesting.
I think of movies as something to do with other people, most of the time. Even if I wouldnt bother to go out of my way to take time to watch it myself, it was fun watching Betelgeuse with my mom last Halloween, for example.

Yea that's the one! It was 3 hours but it didn't feel that long to me! It was a good watch with lots of action scenes and some funny ones as well but it gets darker and more nightmarish towards the end. I wouldn't call it a light watch but it didn't drag on like other long movies for me!

I watched Moonrise Kingdom
The plot was really dumb and the dialogues were even more so, and all the kids (majority of the cast from my impressions, or at the very least the half of it) acted terribly. However, as expected of Wes Anderson, the picture came out quite stunning, and the dynamic linear perspective as well as predominantly yellow colour palette which the director is infamous for abusing even managed to look fresh in this film. But this polarisation of form and substance was actually quite fitting here, because the former clearly dignified the latter and turned the film into a beautiful naive fairytale, which couldn't have been managed any other way. Though I still believe the aforementioned disadvantages (especially the dialogues and plot progression) hurt the film's perception.
