Watched the Monkey last night and, while I understood going in it's a meant to be a a gory, silly horror comedy and not supposed to be scary, I was just waiting for it to be over. There were a couple cool scenes that you wouldn't expect in that type of movie, which I always enjoy. The best horror movies these days seem to follow a formula you expect, than drop some scenes that make you feel like you accidentally took some hallucinogens.
Loved Perkin's previous movie Longlegs, but I'm glad I watched the monkey free with streaming subscription. It was miss for me, maybe just not in the mood. Hoping Perkin's next one, Keeper, will be darker.
I wanted to like it so badly but it's not much more than a poorly paced Final Destination film that also decided to bait and switch me into watching half the thing with goddamned kid actors. Two thumbs as far down as possible.
Jurassic World Rebirth is far from perfect but it's the most enjoyable Jurrasic movie since 1993.

Don't make life more awkward for yourself than it needs to be.
Not awkward at all. Will make for a good laugh. Thankfully I'm not confined by the same mental prison/bitter and judgmental existence you're stuck in 24/7.
I watched a movie that upon release 30 years ago in 1995 it won several Razzie awards, ended up on both Siskel and Ebert's worst of the year list and was generally considered to be one of the worst movies ever. Since that time the movie has developed a cult following and I legit consider it a masterpiece. Of course I'm talking about Showgirls. Fantastic film that was way ahead of its time. The film reminded me of the same structure of films like Scarface or Babylon where you see the rise and fall of our hero. There were plans for a sequel where Nomi would have gone to LA and take down Hollywood but because of the poor reception it sadly never got made. Fantastic film that needs to be critically re examined because it's amazing. Even if you hate the movie you can never say you're bored.
Now follow that up with the sequel that actually got made, the incredible 'Showgirls 2 - Penny's From Heaven" starring Rena Riffel. Not familiar with that particular actress? She was a stripper in Showgirls at the first place Nomi works, gets possibly less than 1 min of screen time.
