What movies are you watching?

Training Day was great and Hawke was great in it. I also recently watched Gattaca and he was really good in that too.

Last night I watched The Blair Witch for the first time (i know, i know) and tonight I'm watching The Witch.

How many movies have you not seen?

At least 100

I'll just watch Battlefield Earth and Risky Business instead.

The Circle (2020)

Very bad. "Super important movie!" Made by very stupid people who think they are very smart. I did like some of the purposefully cringy parts but most of it is accidental.

This is literally you by the way.

I bet you think about me at least ten times every day.

Ender's Game

One of those movies where they look back at historical footage, but it's like a movie, with different shots and impossible points of view, etc. That should tell you all you need to know.

IMO Ender's Game is underrated.

I don't hate it.

Watched Big Trouble in Little China with the whole family and most of us really liked it.

I should have known better, but I didn’t realize how “John Carpentery” it was. Fun stuff.

That's a 5 star classic.

Longlegs was disappointing. I was expecting more.

I agree that that it's boring and pretentious. I'd say Nic Cage has a bit more screen time in this than Kevin Spacey had in Seven, and he spends it just acting as creepy as he can. The only disturbing elements came from sound design and editing, doing a quick cut to a jarring image and going from quiet to the standard issue super loud "eeeeeee!" scratchy string music at the same time. Old tricks. It's kind of amazing that they took that premise and made a movie that is no more disturbing than an X Files episode. You'll probably find yourself suspecting the "shocking" explanation not even halfway through, and when it comes it's delivered in a clunky expository monologue. It just feels like a Law and Order: SVU viewer's idea of a disturbing serial killer movie.

Agreed. I really wanted to like it, but was ultimately disappointed.

Yeah just a very shallow movie. Seemed like it had a lot to say, but didn't say much at all. Just made me want to watch Silence of the Lambs again.
