Ghost Stories - Excellent

Is 99 cents on iTunes at the moment. Quality film.

I watched that last night after buying it for £10. It was excellent until it lost its way and delivered a double bluff ending that made the conclusion murkier than necessary.

All in all a very strong film but far closer to the morbidly comical than the genuinely terrifying.

Paul Whitehouse and Martin Freeman were absolutely wonderful. I am delighted to see Paul Whitehouse in films now after so long on television.

Why the fuck would spell check try to correct that? Fucking arrogant.

The Happytime Murders - 5/10 - If you like inappropriate, stupid comedies, you will at least tolerate this. Not as good as Team America or Sausage Party (animated, not puppets, but same general idea). Could have been better, but I don't feel like I wasted my money seeing it in theaters....

Papillon (2018) - 3.5/5

Super Troopers 2 7/10

I liked it, and felt it was funny, but not nearly as funny the original, but still worth the watch, I highly doubt I will watch it over and over again like the original.

Crazy Rich Asians-7/10

It got a few good laughs out of me and some chuckles throughout. Pretty predictable and formulaic but well acted with likeable characters.

Crazy Rich Asians - Adorable.

stop

Wait, unless by adorable you mean lame and retarded?

No it was good. And Gemma Chan, who plays the rich guy's empathetic and grounded cousin, is a smoke show.

It's about the usage of the world "adorable".

I have a shitload of reviews to do but my phone company has fucking cut me off over some bill they took the money for and claim I never paid.

Mother cunts

A Quiet Place was good though, not as good as Don't Breathe but it had a superb second half. I think I'd have given that a close to perfect score if the family weren't so detestably stupid in it at predictable moments.

Nah. Gemma Chan is fucking hot

She was so graceful and elegant :heart:

Stripes - Very enjoyable. Sean Young is beautiful.

If I remember correctly, Gemma Chan was in an episode of Sherlock, and also in the Sci-Fi tv series, Humans.

Sean Young was beautiful

I would italicise the word but she really was and I suspect Hollywood is to blame for her emotional and physical ruin.

Uh oh. I haven't gone that rabbit hole yet. Gonna Google her now.

Some Harry Potter garbage 2/7

Sinemia #1 Searching 8.5/10 once i got past flashbacks of seeing Unfriended: Dark Web this was a solid movie with a pretty good twist.

So I signed up for Sinemias 3 for $10 plan to compliment my moviepass 3 for $10. Ill end up getting 7 movies a month for $20 cause every 5 movies I see ends up getting me a free movie through Regal.

You didn't review the movie

Droford, why didn't you choose AMC A-List over Sinemia?

I give that purchase a 4/7

I don't have AMC Regal is only movie theatre within 30 miles any direction

I'm seeing little Stranger later on tonight

The rare movie I'm seeing 100% blind no reviews/trailers/who's in it/what its about

100% bald

The Huntsman: Winter's War 6/10

Brothers Grimsby not terrible but not good either 3/7

Moviepass #89 The Little Stranger 3/10 a non scary haunted house movie. One of the worst movies I've seen in the year I've had Moviepass

Searching - 9/10

Great mystery, lots of plot twists.

On with my Stephen King binge...

Thinner (1996) 1.5/5 Stars

The story is about a fat lawyer who kills an old Gypsie with his car while getting a blowjob from his wife. When his relationship with the town judge and police work in his favor, he gets off with no conviction. Then an old man Gypsie appears and curses the fat man by touching his face and saying "THINNER". Day by day he begins losing weight. Eventually he realizes that he was cursed by the Gypsie and seeks to find him to release the curse. The acting is this movie is really bad, especially from the lead actor Robert John Burke. I've noticed on a lot of campy Stephen King movies that making a likable or sympathetic lead character is not a priority. Which is interesting as a viewer, and I would imagine has to be purposeful. There is so much camp about the movie that it actually adds to the enjoyment factor, because if it took itself seriously it would get a much lower rating from me. Worth a watch for a dumb fun horror movie.

Graveyard Shift (1990) .5/5 Stars

The story is of a rat infested textile factory that is completely condemned but the owner pays off an inspector to keep it open. Slowly the employee's who are hired to clean the infested basement go missing. Eventually a drifter hero travels to town and takes the graveyard shift at the factory. After proving himself he is given the double pay holiday clean up shift to clear out the infested basement within a week so the owner can double his workload for the factory. The hero joins a cleanup crew who slowly start to die from some kind of giant bat/rat creature. The creature looks horrible a total joke, and unrealistic on every level. The owner played by Stephen Macht (and the best performance of the movie by far) stars off as a dick head but somewhere in the second act turns into an all out villain, I would assume because the movie monster was so lackluster they felt the needed to at more bad guys to the movie. This movie is trash, not really worth your time even for curiosity.

Truth Or Dare - 5/10 - Not a huge fan of horror, but this one was alright. Fairly predictable and the ending was not that great.

Happytime Murders - 6/10

Some good zingers the first half, but nothing 'great' the second half

Calvary 6/10

BlackkKlansman - 4.5/5

See I love Calvary but I could understand if it was maybe a bit too dark for some, unless you just didn't like it for other reasons.
Still, I think chris O'Dowd and Brendan Gleeson are amazing in it. Domnhall Gleeson has a brilliant wee cameo too.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, MO: 4.5/5. Very well acted and written. Great story to it, though I think it loses a bit as I feel it probably exaggerates small town life.

It's one of my all time favorite movies.
