Haven’t watched in in a long time, but I recall liking Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. Rotten Tomatoes says it sucks, so maybe I won’t re-watch so I can pretend it’s still good

John Carpenter's The Thing has only a 85% rotten tomatoes rating while Talk to Me is at 94% on RT.....I really liked Talk to Me but the Thing is on the Mt. Rushmore of horror movies. Lesson is don't always go with Rotten tomatoes

Letterboxd is by far the most accurate movie rating website for me. Anything over 3.5/5 is worth a watch pretty much every time.

Talk To Me: 3.5/5
The Thing: 4.4/5

I've started going with audience scores more and more.

Waking Life was a pretty interesting adult themed animation.

It’s What’s Inside on Netflix is really fun! The cinematography and editing alone make it worth watching, it's really creative and kinetic.

A comedy / psychological thriller with an insane premise.


Like a feature length Black Mirror / Twilight Zone.

Leviathan (Prime) is so bad and I love it.

Your classic 80s underwater sci-fi horror that gets overshadowed by The Abyss. The movie proudly wears its influences on its sleeve, delivering a fun, campy experience despite being a blatant rip-off of Alien and The Thing.

The film lacks originality, yet it's still an entertaining popcorn flick. The creature effects aren't groundbreaking, but are effective enough. The dialogue . . . oh man, it's bad.

It’s a B-movie through and through, but it’s that very quality--along with the over-the-top monster moments--that still makes Leviathan so much fun to watch.

I re-watched Halloween 2018 yesterday, and it was pretty good. The good parts are really good, Michael felt like a force and seeing him go home to home killing was really well done. Some of the kills were also great , the strobe light death especially was effective. Also Laurie Stroud being a complete badass and being prepared for Michael was a neat idea and a good direction to take. However , I found the dialogue didn't match the tone of the film. It felt like the writers just watched an MCU film and wanted to add in a bunch of one liners or random jokes that didn't land for me. Also this felt very much like a legacy sequel, similar to The Force Awakens or Jurassic World. There was a bunch of fan service sprinkled throughout the film that took me out of it. This is about in the middle of the franchise for me, a solid reboot.

Shaun of the Dead is never a bad decision.
