Watched Hereditary again last night.

Great horror movie, but felt like it drops off right at the end.

7/10

The Green Knight wtf/10

This is what drugs can do, kids !

100% agreed. Was expecting something completely different.

I usually enjoy stuff that go against the grain for variety but just couldn't invest in this.
Does look spectacular tho.

 

[FiestaST]

Just dropped. Has potential.

Heading to the movies this weekend can't decide between Freeguy and Candyman, anyone seen one of them?

Vacation Friends (2021) 6/10

Entertaining buddy comedy. Cena is a laugh of note.

The Protégé (2021) 6.5 / 10

Absolutely nothing original, but at least Maggie Q makes it look good
Michael Keaton was great.

Ready or not 2019

Not sure how I missed this comedy horror gem. 7/10. Would have been more if the plot wasn't so forced and predictable.

No Man of God (2021) 6 / 10
I do not know enough about the actual Ted Bundy, but they say it's based on a true story.
Also not sure how I feel about the casting of Tedy Bundy. but he did a great job. Same for Elijah Wood.

The Stairs (2021) 5 / 10
Standard horror story. Slightly more interesting than the usual.

 

[FiestaST]

The Protégé (2021) 6/10

Decent action thriller. Flat characters but high action. Maggie Q has a "Jane Wick" vibe.

 

[dualmeister]

Jack of the Red Hearts (2015) 6.5 / 10
Good drama. Only really watched for Famke Janssen though

 

[WaxLyrical]

The Protege - 6.5/10. Cliched and stupid but saved by Martin Campbells sure hand and an energetic Maggie Q.

Vacation Friends (2021) 5.5 / 10
Starts out well, but then loses its pace a bit. John Cena can be really funny.
