This film is taking me to a place I really don't want to go.

Yep, that was fucking nuts. I loved it. Well done Madeline Brewer for making it so believable.

Ok then Slik, Birdbox and what else?
What does Netflix have to offer? |

I am watching Bird Box. Shoulda said it was a Bullock joint.
I will throw reviews up for this and Cam when I have recovered. |

Dear Slik,
Thanks for tricking me. You know what you did. My favourite non-Streep actress nearly murdered by my most hated? You just destroyed Paulson's credibility with me. |

You loved it when she...*spolier*
You wished she'd do that for reals. |

Been watching a lot of shitty movies on netflix. I'll look back and see if I have others to recommend, Seanny. Check out Cloud Atlas if you haven't seen it and have 3 hours. Interested to know your thoughts on that often devisive movie.

Cloud Atlas was actually decent, no beef with Cloud Atlas. Jupiter Ascending on the other hand is one of the worst films ever made.

Cam - 3/4
An emotionally claustrophobic horror that is as much about the vapid nature of models on film as it is an indictment on fame chasing, delusions of grandeur and obsessive social media tracking in a dangerously sexualised world view. This is the film that Neon Demon could have been had Neon Demon replaced stupidity with bravery. The film maker here proves that you can make a hell of an effective horror on a shoestring budget and without a marquee star provided you are committed and have substance behind your conceit. I very much enjoyed this, it was uncomfortable and yet very inclusive of the audience. You won't walk away feeling empty or hollow hopefully. |

The documentary series "Evil Genius" is superb. I remember when this happened, it was all over the world news and they turned it into a slapstick Jesse Eisenberg caper movie.
The true story is just so much more incredible. White Trash Moriarty they shoulda called it. |

Cargo is good so far. They establish a procedural protocol for infection that other zombie films don't often have. Smart move, hopefully it's a smart movie.

Cargo is wonderful. I'm not happy with the reviews, nobody got it. It's about the inevitability of a doomed situation and a beautifully taken pot-shot at Western civilisation.
I thought that it had real quality both in performance and style. I see it as a contemporary "Walkabout" and I see no reason not to call it a great film. |

When you go make sure to let us know how many people are in the theater and the % of them that are kids who will make noise throughout the movie.

Second Act - 10/10
Probably the greatest movie ever made. Jennifer Lopez and Vanessa Hudgens make out at least ten times. Must watch! |

Netflix free pass. I'd rather watch 50 things than one. I don't trust DC or you enough to bother with a £10 movie ticket and a return bus journey to match it. That's £20 when I could sit on my balls watching unheard of horror films for free. I made a sound fiscal choice. |

The Babysitter is so far beyond expectation I'm still not sure what I thought I would get from it in the first place. That's a very well sold comedy horror with two outstanding performances that give you the true tone of the film. It is exceptionally weird and that quality does it no harm.

Reading what Seanny has to go thru just to go see a movie theatrically puts in perspective how lucky I am to have the AMC stubs pass. I've seen 4 movies this month alone, and good chance i make one more before New Year's.
EDIT: confirmed another movie this month. Seeing Creed II tonight. |

Creed II-9/10
Personally liked it better then the first. Kid Drago is a fucking monster. His backstory is excellent and while it would prob have ruined his mystique, I would've loved to have seen more of him as his story and where dad Ivan ended up is sad. Creed's arc is familiar, though they don't go the usual route to get to the same outcome and his personal story and journey, and the driving forces behind it, are different but effective. Rocky has a side story that gets wrapped at film's end that's a bit a tear jerker. My only gripe is damn it, why hasn't Carl Weathers gotten a cameo. Yes, I know his being dead is the driving force behind the purpose of the new main character, but still. Anyways, i loved this film. And to make it better, people in the audience sitting at the bottom row where fucking popping for Creed in the climactic fight. Drago goes down and it sounded like Austin hit a stunner. Usually hate noisy movie crowds but given it was a boxing movie, this exactly enhanced my enjoyment. |

Re: Carl Weathers... Sylvester Stallone wouldn't let Carl Weathers anywhere near a Rocky film now, and he was going to if not for all the shit he caused around the time of Rocky Balboa. He demanded to be physically in the movie then denied use of his image rights for flashbacks. He's a lunatic.
Arrested Development got his character so perfect when they made him the ultimate sponger. Adam West once decried Tim Burton when he made Batman and didn't want to use him. It's like old action stars just never want to let go. |

Cause of the holidays and Netflix I watched these in the last few days:
Little Evil - 3.5/4 The Fundamentals Of Caring 4/4 I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore 3.5/4 Jim And Andy: The Great Beyond 3/4 Happy Hunting 4/4 The Babysitter 3.5/4 Cargo Bird Box Cam Every single film there was at least a 3/4 for me. Not to mention fuck knows how much of Always Sunny... Seriously thinking about getting the net for my house. It's cheaper than buying movies every day. I just hate booking workmen into the house. |

Welcome To Marwen - 7/10 - Heard nothing but bad things going in, but I rather enjoyed it, despite it being an "odd" film. As always, Steve Carrell is amazing in everything he does.

Danny Huston is brilliant in The Constant Gardener. It's a depressing trudge though.

A Futile And Stupid Gesture - 4/4
I didn't know who Doug Kenney was going into this but now I know his influence in my life in several small ways. Not being a National Lampoon fan I watched this more to find out about the stars it made and left with the knowledge that Doug Kenney was probably a good part of the reason these people ever had careers. This is Will Forte's best ever performance, using his trademark one-liner comedy to embody one of his many precursors. I am in great admiration of his ability to do that and somehow build towards real, unabashed emotional and heartbreaking pathos. He's as good in this as Jim Carrey was in Man On The Moon. The comparisons are fairly obvious but these are two distinctly brilliant performances from men of whom the world expects nothing beyond buffoonery and they are a joy to watch at their best. |

Jack Reacher and Jack Reacher 2 - 6,5/10
Decent action flicks. What I didn't understand is why he never has his own gun. It's not like he's against guns, he picks them up and shoots them, just never carries. He goes to meet the villain for what is surely gonna be a gunfight and he's got no gun. |
