On that note, Possessor.

Beautifully shot, awesome concept, really good acting. Solid 8/10.

my fav from last year. Those images man.

The Dark And The Wicked.

Bertino sure knows how to make a moody horror movie. The sound design is great. The story not so much. Overall, its a decent demon story.

my fav from last year. Those images man.

It didn't hit me that hard, I thought it was a little weak on characterization with the female lead and found it hard to follow her motivation in the final scenes. So I'd still slot it behind other films (like Bloody Nose!). But overall it was great.

Anyway, for Strat:

Five Recent Films I Liked
Another Round
Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets
Possessor
Sound of Metal
She Dies Tomorrow

Five I'm Looking Forward To and Which Are Currently Streaming

Black Bear
Driveways
Scheme Birds

Like VG, I'm really enjoying the offerings right now, there's so much stuff that's either just released or just came on my radar through end-of-year lists.

How do you come about getting excited for so many movies? Do you have a source for recommendations?

[Mickey]

A mix of friends and social networks I guess? I'll see movies recommended on here by people I trust, I have a lot of friends who either work in or study film, I'm not a film scholar myself but I teach films a lot, my wife worked in Hollywood for ten years before becoming a writer. So it all adds up and gives me a list of outlets, names, etc. to keep track of.

as Mickey said, its mainly about some sites, people recommendations, and following directors, actors, producers...

i get that sure. I thought her motivation to keep doing it was to escape from her family. She has some doubts but its whats driving her.

Hunter Hunter.

Daaaamn this movie is brutal. Nice to see Devon Sawa and Nick Stahl again.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

tried to watch Possessor a couple nights ago. Made it over half-way through. I thought it was OK. Nothing great. Seemed kinda amateurish, TBH.

Assassination Nation

Fuck yeah! Sam Levinson is a genius. This movie is super relevant now.
