El Camino. I want to like this, but it really plods. Feels like a really stretched out lost episode.

Watched The Last House on the Left last evening, surprisingly never got around to it even being a fan of both the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street series.

Perhaps it was the lower budget or the porn star cast inclusion but I thought that I'd really like to see Bret Easton Ellis attempt a full-on horror story written for the screen.VinylGuy wrote:Nightmare on Elm Street might be my favorite.oasisfan35 wrote:Watched The Last House on the Left last evening, surprisingly never got around to it even being a fan of both the Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street series.

Re: What movies are you watching?
can you write another review in english for the other rubes like myself that are interested in this show?tragabigzanda wrote:The Laundromat.
It’s mid-tier Soderbergh but still better than most anything else on TV. He utilizes the same pastiche storytelling of Traffic or Contagion, but the spirit is more The Informant! And then he adds some similar exposition devices as Adam McKay used in Big Short and Vice, but to much better effect.
Not sure why Streep has been the face of this thing, that’s not really the case.
Despite some great performances and camerawork, and the story being told, the whole thing still feels intentionally slight, like he’s trying to make a comment on the futility of the investigative reporting that played out in real life.
Mostly I’m reminded what a casually meticulous filmmaker he is. Everything is perfect, yet feels tossed off.
Fun one for a lazy afternoon.

Wounds.
Well, its a mixed bag. I expected a lot more, but its still a very weird and tense movie. The first scene in the bar was really fucking intense...i kept thinking that something awful was about to happen.

Re: What movies are you watching?
We were watching Addams Family Values last night and there's a non-to-subtle masturbation joke in it with Fester and Thing.
what the actual fuck was the writer thinking. Jesus.Uncle Fester: [talking to Gomez about wanting a relationship with a woman] I... I have *needs*!
Gomez: ...There's Thing!

Re: What movies are you watching?
Yeah they're both excellent for that. The change of Granny to Carol Kane though was an odd choice. Too bubbly.

The Lighthouse.
Part of me liked it, part of me thought it was dumb as hell.
