Fantastic. I really hope Shia gets his life together because he's a real fucking talent.

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

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.

This has been on my list for so goddamn long. There's just no good excuse why I haven't seen it yet.

Sofia Coppola´s worst movie by far. Rashida Jones was so one note it was embarrassing.

That’s kind of her whole deal

Annabelle Comes Home - not bad, fairly scary despite a few goofy looking ghosts and ghouls, and a pretty standard story

Sinister 2 - very disappointing. I remember the first one being pretty good, but this one was just boring. The ghosts being on camera so much really kills the tension and it just wasn't a very interesting story.

Us - Well acted and I enjoyed the opening scene. Outside of that I hated it. Obvious twist and social commentary without a coherent story to tie it all together. It just felt like a bunch of ideas and images tossed together without any connections or payoffs. It also wasn't scary at all, which is a big knock against a horror movie.

I'm not sure what I'm going to try next. The horror genre is such a minefield.

Us was great. Loved it. Anabelle Comes Home was good. Sinister 2 was boring....do you like supernatural stuff? slasher?

I like both really, but at the moment I'm looking to be scared and only supernatural stuff really scares me.

I liked The Conjuring recently and The Ring terrified me back in the day. I haven't seen The Grudge, which was recommended to me today, so maybe I'll try that.

Another movie I watched this weekend was Ready or Not,which I enjoyed quite a lot. I only wish it had been a little more violent. It wasn't quite as satisfying as You're Next (which is an awesome movie)
