LOL just came to post this

Monster Hunter - meh/10

Never played the game so I can't speak for it as an adaptation, but it was fairly generic, boring, bleh.

Dropped, Sydney Sweeney (The White Lotus) is in.

Hollywood isn't exactly know for their "creativity" anymore

BAIT!

It was fun in a silly, old-school way and the monsters were cool. Also didn't play the game.

Un Flic (1972) 7.5/10

Very cool and stylish...Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve in a French crime movie. Dig movies from this period.

Have you seen Day of the Jackal?

Have you seen Day of the Jackal?

Yes...on SABC when I was like 10.



Think I've seen it 4-5 times...it gets the "meticulousness" of the novel down really well.

Kate (2021) 6.5/10

Gripping, decently paced action thriller. Derivative story & the kid is pretty annoying. Sweet setting. Kate Wick.

True Romance (1993) - 8/10

Man what a stacked cast. I've had a crush on Patricia Arquette for forever but I'd never seen this.

That Sicilian scene though...

 

[FiestaST]

Massive love for that film.

Legit one of my absolute favourite films of the 90's. Top 3 material for me.

One of my all time favourites.

I love every single frame of True Romance, and like it or not, y'all are getting some Hans Zimmer right now...

Kate (2021) - 7/10

Fairly decent watch actually. Crazy to think that's Ramona Flowers!

Basically Kate "Crank" Wick. I enjoyed how visceral the violence was, they captured it pretty well and she's relatively believable in the role, if you suspend your disbelief for the more fantastic parts of it.

True Romance, Natural Born Killers and From Dusk Till Dawn are why I believe it's better to have Tarantino write and somebody else direct.

Bit late for a Friday thread.

Malignant (2021) - 6.5/10. Some stylish camera work cant lift this generic horror that actually did have an interesting premise to begin with.

Malignant (2021) 6.5/10

Entertaining supernatural thriller. Lots of thrills, characters were a bit flat though.

I love Scott Pilgrim, but she's the worst character in it. She's just basically deadpan for 95% of the movie.
