[Werner1975]

Freaking trying to read subs and watch the movie at the same time I didnt get that upgrade with my brain

Jacob's Ladder (1990)​

​

A fantastic story which gives away the plot a bit early. For that, it loses one point. The acting is great, with many famous faces, and the story is dark. 8/10

Happy Gilmore 2 (2025)​

​

What an abomination. The acting is weak, the story is worse than a high school student's essay, and the jokes fall flat. Adam Sandler stuffed as many famous people into this rubbish as he could, and I don't understand why. Avoid at all costs. 2/10

Didn't even know this movie existed till now but I'm guessing it's because Netflix was paying. The budget of this movie is crazy for a comedy - 150 million freaking dollars.

I used to dislike Adam Sandler movies (and by extension Adam Sandler) but he's just out there having fun, hiring his friends on someone else's dime. Nice work if you can get it.

I've never disliked Sandler until this rubbish.

Colony (2026) 6.5 / 10
A decent zombie movie.

Fall 2 (2026) 5.5 / 10
Balancing on plank for an hour. Ground breaking.

Animals (2026) 5.5 / 10
Was hoping it would be more like The Accountant. Why does kidnapper have the Scream voice?

Matchbox Movie - 5.5/10. Jessica brought me to this movie. They certainly churning them out - generic forgettable nonsense with zero style or substance. 1 or 2 funny one line and that's it.

 

[Dimpie (JIGSAW)]

Fall 2: Deadpoint (2026) - 6/10 ... Knowing that most of you compared it to the first one, I sort of didn't and therefor gave it a slightly higher score than most ... Had some nail-biting moments and I enjoyed it.

Animals (2026) 6/10

Ben Affleck written, directed, produced & starred. Uneasy crime thriller. Starts off well enough with plenty of suspense. Gillian Anderson's character was a smart choice & a delight. Final act about-turn is a mixed bag.

The Florist (2026) 5 / 10

Jean Reno & Dennis Quaid are good.
The movie is average though.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)​

Boring, bailed half way.
