This was fun. 6.5 / 10

Damn, I saw this somewhere, and cannot remember, damn, ravages of age.

Found it, but now load shedding is going to interfere ...

Interceptor. 3/10 probably the worst movie that I managed to finish in a long time.

Did get a bit of a laugh at some of the completely stupid action scenes.

That was soooo bad. 3 / 10.
The stuff you download to your phone during loadshedding lol.

Rise (2022) - 7.5/10. True-life story of Nigerian illegal immigrants whose sons have a gift with basketball. Surprisingly strong for a genre of movie that I normally don't enjoy. It helps that their story is truly remarkable especially if you aren't familiar with it.

Babadook starts slow, good introduction for baba, but then falls apart on itself. Another pass looking back to scream 5.

5/10

Anyone watched Matyr? It popped up as a horror you'll bleach your eyes after.

I've seen that French horror. Back then I thought it was unsettling. Not sure if I'll do the same today.

Dr Strange 2 (2022) 5/10
I wasn't entertained.

Saw there is a French and English version. Radarr pulled the latter. I'll tell you if it's as horrific

Edit : Deleted English one, want the French

Yes the french one is called Martyrs. Another from this era and genre is High Tension.

Oh didn't know we had an easy-mode version (English one).

The Man from Toronto 7/10

Was pretty good imo.. Funny, but seemed too much like Central Intelligence for most parts

 

[heatseeker]

The Batman 6/10. Too slow paced and drab. Storyline a bit meh!

 

[Herr der Verboten]

Morbious: An origin but a tale of tragedy.

So hardly a 5, 4 or 3 out of ten but rather 6 going 6.5.

The reason. Quite simple. It is a tragic hero origin story and without failing on its simpleton action sword.

 

[Herr der Verboten]

Nightmare on Elm street 1 a 6.66/10, right?

So for what it was back then we can upgrade it to 7. However, in today's terms it's still a 6.

I suppose it really was ahead of its time.

The Man from Toronto 7/10

I'd also go with a 7/10.

5/10

I remember being disappointed with this movie after having read lots of praise and high scores for it. It was one of the first things I watched on Netflix. I barely remember anything about it, utterly forgettable.

No Country For Old Men (2007)
9/10
No fancy special effects, no CGI, no music, just pure talent from the director to the actors. Javier Bardem is brilliantly brutal in this one. One of the best noir films ever.
