Was hoping for a bigger lol pay off but, yeah, what? Why have they done that?

Next from Amazon Prime, 100 years later, someone tries to kill all the jews again . . .
Leave The World Behind is truly awful.
Gran Turismo accomplishes the rare feat of being utterly abysmal but somehow still quite good.
I enjoyed Roadhouse despite it just being absolutely ridiculous.
Same. I'm seeing people hating on McGregor in it but I thought he was hilarious. He has one note and he plays it to a tee. A lot of the other supporting cast is really great as well.Originally Posted by Kikó
How does it compare to the original?
I wasn't that convinced. It didn't feel like the right kind of bad and it was a bit crass to use his Nurburgring crash (which happened years after the Le Mans stuff) as a big drama point. Plus you don't need to sex that crash up. The real life footage is brutal.
I rewatched Behind Enemy Lines. Still bangs. Owen Wilson watches Harvey from Suits get killed via the smallest binoculars you've ever seen.
Road House
It was alright for what it was but apart from calling the main character Dalton it had nothing in common with the original.
I'm bang into the horror genre atm. Are there any modern classics I might have missed? I'm thinking along the lines of Hereditary.
I'll list a few of my faves over the last 3/4 years.
When Evil Lurks
The Dark and the Wicked
Host
Possessor
Dashcam
Censor
We're all going to the world's fair (you'll love or hate this)
Resurrection
Barbarian
Fresh
Speak No Evil
Soft & Quiet
My Heart Can't Beat Unless You Tell It To
Saint Maud
The Beta Test
The Night
Rent-A-Pal
Impetigore

Recommending Dashcam over Host?
I think Host is better as a concept, and run time, with what it packs in, but I prefer Dashcam. I also love Spree, which is divisive.
Just watch the Dashcam end credits and ignore the film.

Just watched The Flash, honestly if you go in with low expectations and just expect a comic book romp with all the standard multiverse shit in it, it's fine. Nowhere near as bad as people were claiming when it came out.
Already sounds awful.
I just can't watch Ezra Miller. Even if he wasn't a headcase turbo nonce, he'd still be insufferable.
Dune 2 is excellent. Well worth watching it in the cinema
It leaked today so you can watch in the comfort of your own home.
Deal me in.
I've finally seen Oppenheimer. Given I went in expecting to be bored (I wasn't) and assuming the film could have done with 30-45 minutes of it edited out (it could), it was actually pretty good.
Even accounting for the dreadfulness of modern remakes/sequels/prequels/universes, this is a headline with ostensibly no redeeming features:
Pamela Anderson joins Liam Neeson for Naked Gun remake
I thought Chalamet was really good in Dune 2 which is a surprise as I think he's been complete wank the rest of the time.
Just watched. lol wtf (no)

I watched Tetsuo: The Iron Man yesterday. What a very Japanese movie. Great body horror and a HEAP of expressive over-acting. I've got the sequel lined up to watch tomorrow.
EDIT: Tetsuo 2: The Body Hammer is not as good. There's less body horror and the plot just takes the mystery out whatever The Salaryman's deal is. I don't appreciate how everything has this odd blue lighting. I've come this far so I might as well watch the third one.

Just wasted two hours watching The Worst Person in the World.

That's some take. It's brilliant.
I'm slowly working my way through this list. The Dark and the Wicked is haunting af.
Challengers was an incredible experience. The director and writer have made some top films so I thought this might be an acceptable foray into normie cinema territory but turns out the pervert director can't get over his obsession with sex and the use of music is hilariously bad. Such a dull waste of time.
The trailer looked like it may aswell have had a Brazzers logo on it.
Seen it get compared to Saltburn on Reddit so I’ll definitely give it a watch.

Tetsuo 3: The Bullet Man is also shit. It was made in 2009 so everything is shot in stark daylight (making the monster design have no impact) and contains a whole lot of unnecessary shaky camera work. The Salary Man now has a name. He's Anthony, an American who can't act who has a Japanese wife who also can't act. The plot is a retread of the second film without the weird steel mill cult. I cannot stress how flat the delivery is on most of the script. Things liven up when the Shinya Tsukomoto arrives and gives some of the best lines.
It's supposed to a standalone sequel but it canonises the whole concept of normal man gets angry, turns to metal. Except he's not normal. He's an experiment. It's all spelled out with exposition that the first film did well without. The dumbest imagery is Anthony in his metal prosthetics AND a suit for the majority of the film.
Yes please.
If anyone has the range it's Amy Adams.
Trying to decide between IF and Garfield at the cinema. Besides ‘neither,’ IF seems the correct choice, right?
I'm a twit
Got good reviews in our house.
Anyone watched Kinds of Kindness yet?
I'm a twit
Not seen it yet but definitely will do. I did see Quiet Place Day One tonight though, which was excellent.
@Dark Soldier
Any further horror recommendations?
Not of late mate, not been watching much cos of me wonky eyes.
Finally found a decent replacement for Release Log: https://trakt.tv/users/fresnobiker/l...sort=added,asc
Might watch the Amy Winehouse film later. Anyone seen it? Worth it? I presume it’s more story focused than just songs.
I'm a twit
If it's mostly songs then it's that horror Manc is looking for.
Never understood why Amy Winehouse has stayed relevant. 2 bit popstar crackhead. Who cares what her story was?
I never got it either. It felt mostly fuelled by tabloids than her (decent) levels of talent.
Yeah don’t bother with the film.
I'm a twit
I went with Bone Tomahawk in the end. More of a western than horror. Kurt Russel doing Kurt Russel things.
TIE IT OFF!
All of that director's films have the same weird dialogue atmosphere, Dragged Across Concrete the same.
Saw Longlegs at the cinema, beautifully shot, not really scary. I liked it, wife thought it was shit.
If it's the one I'm thinking of, that film has the most laughable death scene I've ever seen.
