Shadow 2018 Hong Kong flick. Very pretty but very, very silly. Buncha nonsense with umbrellas.

Very interesting movie. Two intense hours, all in one shot.

The cinematography is excellent, the lead actress plays her role to perfection, very believable. The suspense was really good, and the movie kept me guessing where it would end up next.

I remember this one. Yeah, it's really great. I know it gets really intense but, funnily enough, the parts that stick with me the most are from the beginning when it's just a pretty young Spanish lady trying to make friends in a Berlin nightclub even though she doesn't speak German. Good movie

I thought he was fine. He's got that look where when you first see him, you immediately think "oh, that kid's totally getting possessed."

I enjoyed those first scenes as well, although I did fear for her. There was something ominous about it.

This is pretty good. Not fully brilliant, but an interesting true story retelling of Trumbo post-1947.

I haven't seen this since the theatre which is now six damn years ago, will try to revisit soon.
Ended up watching Prometheus as well as Alien: Covenant. Definitely enjoyed the former more than previous viewings, it looks gorgeous and the tone throughout is fantastic. The latter, while a lot of the acting was really subpar (I really wanted to punch Crudup in the face) Fassbender was stellar and tipped the scale close enough to even to have fun. Watching a single Xenomorph wreak so much havoc will also never get old to me.

The Gift

«A married couple, Simon and Robyn, run into Gordo, an old classmate. Things take a turn when Gordo begins to drop in unannounced at their house and inundates them with mysterious gifts.»

Starting this now.

Eight last 2015 movie, but my wife is working all weekend, so probably limited time to watch movies.

I was actually a little disappointed with it. Was waiting for it to get really good, but instead it slowly evolved in the same direction for a long time. Obviously what you believe at the start is not the same as you believe at the end, but not really in a good way.
