Seen that along with my brother and a friend the other day as well, thankfully we didn't have any interruptions during the movie I actually liked it more than I thought I would.

In A Violent Nature was great. An ambient slasher film that plays on horror tropes in wildly brutal ways, while also layered with an ethereal Gus Van Sant trance-like atmosphere.

Aggro Dr1ft is insane.

Maxxxine is fun, but definitely the weakest of the Ti West trilogy of A24 movies.

Babes was funnier and more emotional than it had any right to be.

Beverly Hills Cop Axel F. Kind of garbage movie. The old 80s tracks kept me watching. The rest was meh.

Twister in 4K. Oh boy, they really cleaned up the picture and even added extra sound effects to the tornadoes and lightening thunder. It was like real weather footage was used; that's how good it was.

Well, it was better than BHC III. Low bar, I know. Would have been to see a Ronny Cox cameo.

I watched The Ritual last night, fun folk horror movie set in the Swedish mountains about a hiking trip gone terribly wrong, it keeps the surprises coming and great atmosphere.

I watched 2 movies tonight. First was Full Metal Jacket in 4K, and right now I'm watching my favorite movie which is Conan The Barbarian 4K.

Saw Longlegs tonight and I liked it quite a bit. While I think I might have been hoping for something that genuinely terrified me more to my core than this ended up doing, I still found it to be immensely unsettling and creepy. More of a demonic, uncomfortable crime mystery ... which worked for me in the long run. Like a lot of people, the marketing push for this movie had me invested from the jump. It didn't exceed expectations, but I will be thinking about this movie for a while... it's definitely in my top 5 movies that I've caught this year.

I almost wanted more Longlegs screen time and a bit more back and forth from him and Lee ... but that would've been a different kind of story from what they were telling. Unlike Maxxxine where I got angry about the decisions the movie made after I watched it, I think I'm coming away with more of an appreciation of the story Longlegs told.

Saw Longlegs in the theater this afternoon. What the heck did I just watch? lol Definitely kinda interesting....and weird. Wish it went a little deeper into the underlying satanic craziness of the character and how he even got to that point; delve into his madness a bit more and explain his whole point of it better.

Think my mildly religious friends were questioning the choice of this one, but hey, they picked it. They thought it would be a bit more occult, rather than satanic.

I recently saw The Lawnmower Man and it's sequel for the first time on Youtube. Even though the movie has almost nothing to do with the Stephen King story, I still thought it was a fantastic movie with a great concept. However, I thought that The Lawnmower 2 was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Only a few years have gone by in the movie, but it looks like a completely different world where there are homeless kids jacking into cyberspace living in an abandoned subway with a cyber punk vibe to it. Everything about the sequel was terrible.

I went to see Twisters for a second time on Friday. It’s one of my favorite movies of the summer.

I saw Street Fighter II The Animated Movie in 4K and it was great. I love this 4K stuff. It comes with the PG-13 and unrated version.

Reagan. I don’t care what the critics say. I enjoyed it and President Reagan’s history needed to be revisited.

I've been dragging my feet on picking it up on 4k - I really need to, now more that I hear this. Twisters was great too.

Also we just watched the most recent A Quiet Place flick - it was solid. Had some honest pacing issues here and there but it was solid.

Finally watched Deadpool and Wolverine for the first time. This movie was great. laughed so much

I never thought the opening of GOTG Vol 2 could be topped, But holy **** Deadpool killing TVA soliders to Nsync's Bye Bye Bye has done it.

Seeing the wolverine variants was cool. Snipes still has it as Blade Channing Tatum was fantastic as Gambit.


I Think this is my favorite Deadpool movie now. Seeing Wolverine wear the Tiger Stripe suit and Mask was a huge nerdgasm.
