Finally got around to watching Midsommar.



WTabsoluteF?



A solid 4 stars out of five, but definitely not for everyone.

I loved it, those psychological art-horror thrillers are right up my alley.

Some recent greats are Hereditary, The Lighthouse, The Neon Demon, and Mandy. Still need to see the new Suspiria which I hear is great.

Can't wait for The Green Knight next:

Given your list you will enjoy Suspiria. As a horror movie fan I'm drawn to artsy type of horror shows because I find a lot of the regular ones are too generic and not scary or frightening at all. The Colour Out of Space fits this criteria but unfortunately it's a little too bad to be recommended.

First glance at the list and Indiana Jones is glaringly inaccurate.

Nearly all of them are wrong.

And it gets worse when you compare them to each other. Die Hard 2 was better than any of the Lord of the Rings movies? The Matrix was better than the Godfather? Cmon now.

I personally don't consider Alien 3 a terrible movie. It's not as good as the lofty standards set by the first two but still a better than average sci-fi horror movie.

I don't even know what trilogy these refer to in a particular franchise. is the Star Trek one just the first 3 movies with the TOS crew, or is it the Kelvin timeline? is the Batman one from the 90's or 2000's? I assume the Star Wars one is OT, but why not also rank the other trilogies?

doesn't seem to matter much anyways, because a lot of these ratings almost appear randomly generated.

Yeah I enjoyed it. Campy with Nic Cage and a funky Lovecraftian idea.

+1 for Suspiria. I’m not a huge horror fan at all so it takes a pretty “good” movie to make me sit through one. The one parallel dance scene in that movie haunts my dream for real. So beautifully filmed but absolutely a shock to sit through.

Each trilogy should have a movie at 100%, so that the comparison is between direct sequels and not other movies in the world. Why is Jaws circled?

Depends which version, I can't remember what was the good one, but there was a big difference. Alien was still the best though, so the chart is wrong.

It's the only one with a 3D movie!

Tenet was a disappointment. 6/10. Washington wasn't terrible but couldn't pull it off as the lead actor. I'm surprised they couldn't get someone better for the role.

The plot created some cool scenes but wasn't believable.

I stumbled across an Australians time-travel/Sci-fi movie last night called Pre-determined. Stars Ethan Hawke (who I think is under-rated) and got a lot of attention down under, but i don't recall hearing much about it up here. Anyways if you like time travel stuff, it's a good one - but as with most, don't tug on the logical thread too hard, as it probably all falls apart. But I would recommend.

Super late to the game, but with all the Nolan talk I decided to check out The Prestige last night. I was a little disappointed. With all the hype I thought there would be another layer to it or something.

Spoiler!

Just passed through the Chinook theatre and couldn't help but laugh.

They're playing Tenet in about ten theatres, the New Mutants and Spongebob in a couple, and filling up the rest with random dubbed Hungarian and Russian dramas.

Looks like a Chinese film, and the Korean Train to Busan sequel.
