Something in The Dirt - 2/10. Was promising at first and had an interesting concept ant I'd have probably given it like a 5 or 6 but fuck the ending is turrible. The last 15 mins or so can go eat a bag of dicks. Movie itself is kind of a mix of "found footage" (kinda, I guess), dramatizations, and recounting of events filmed like they are making a documentary. Like I said it was an interesting concept the way they did it, and the story, while cliche for the topic, didn't focus on one of the usual conspiracies/secret societies that most movies like this do. It was it's own thing for sure. But again, the last 15 mins made the whole thing blow. Don't watch this unless you want to be angry and confused all at the same time. Oh, and one of the co-leads is a fucking dick. A crooked smelly cheese encrusted dick.
2067 - 3/10. Meh. There's nothing here that hasn't been done way better elsewhere but it has it's moments. The problem is the lead can get very annoying, but I think it's written that way so he's doing what he's supposed to. It's just....bad sometimes. I dunno. I didn't feel like I wasted my time watching it or anything but it's not something I'll recommend to someone. Probably won't remember it in a week as evidenced by the fact that having watched it...I'm like 98% sure I watched it before and thought it was meh and forgettable then too.
Dark Web: Cicada 3301 - 7.5/10. This was far better than the last 2. It was also not exactly what I was expecting. Was a fair bit comedic, one of the supporting actors was excellent, and the story went in directions I didn't see coming considering I knew what Cicada 3301 was supposed to be going in. Also pulled a few twists that were completely out of nowhere in a good way. Glad they took liberty with it and made it their own. I'll probably watch this again. Was a good time.
