Movie Mini-Review Thread - Part III

[FiestaST]

I read the description and couldn't bring myself to press play. Movies have been made for ridiculous reasons, but a movie based solely on a meme? Yeah, no.

It's a 1.5hr "quick watch" thankfully.

Just watch the trailer & you're pretty much in tune with the entire film lol

Karen (2021) 4/10

Stupid thriller jumping on a hype train. Cheesy dialogue, bad casting & a predictable story.

Never heard of it lol.

Tried The Colony (2021), but it was less entertaining that and EFF meeting.

Worth (2020) 6.5/10

Poignant watch, engrossing story if a little drawn out. As some have said, Humanity vs Economics.

Lakeview Terrace (2008) 6.5/10

Decent crime thriller with some suspense, ending could have been better.

 

[SaucePlz]

Small Engine Repair 8/10
A few twists and turns, nothing mind-boggling, but combined with good performances all-round and realistic dialogue, it's worth watch.

Small Engine Repair (2021) 6.5/10

5.5 / 10 for the puzzles. But not enough gore.

Us (2019) 8/10 - Broader, more horror-focused, and richer in metaphor than Get Out. But also not as funny and somewhat unfocused.

Escape Room 2 (2021) 6/10

Enjoyable puzzles, convoluted story. Was actually filmed in CT.
