I think Get Out and Us were both mediocre!

Agreed with Mr. Reynolds. I really wanted to like it, but it was kinda laughably bad.

Yeah I don't really get the negative reaction some people had to Us. I thought it was a blast, and really beautifully made, with great performances and a lot of memorable moments. The premise stops making sense real quick when you think about it but that doesn't really bother me.

Watched insidious for the first time last night. It was well made and well acted, but it wasn't scary outside of the first 20 minutes or so. They showed way too many stupid looking ghosts and the big, bad demon looked dumb as hell.

I'll probably watch the sequel anyway tonight, but expectations are low.

How funny or enjoyable was this? The ad did catch my attention
The premise of the phone fucking up the guy’s life was really funny.

The generic awkward boy meets girl, loses girl, has to get her back was boring.

The side characters were mostly lame.

I did laugh a lot but it was hard for me to get over how nice of a place this guy lived in, in San Fran, considering his shit job.

But the premise again was great, the phone having a mind of its own. It does speak well to the phone/social media addiction issue and people always being fake online.

I loved that movie so much. The DP is from Argentina and she is wonderful.
