House of Spoils is not without its flaws but it's something different.

It looks interesting.

8 got one for you in a similar vein: What You Wish For.

It is intriguing and entertaining.

Awesome. Since it's October and I like my HORROR, I have the following I'm planning to watch:

ODDITY
SPEAK NO EVIL
HOLD YOUR BREATH
SPIN THE BOTTLE

Salems Lot remake on MAX was decent.

Netflix Anime Series produced by Zack Snyder: Twilight of The Gods is excellent!

I think I saw those, it's really difficult to make a good horror nowadays. Funny story, I was watching Speak No Evil and was thinking to myself "hey, this looks familiar but I don't remember recently watching anything w James McAvoy". So, it turned out to be a remake of the Danish film. I wonder if I should suggest for you to watch the original first, as they are quite different in some crucial areas. Anyway, tell me which one you like better and in what order you saw them.

Since it's October, I'll say that "Drag Me to Hell" is perhaps the most fun, corny, funny, enjoyable 90 minutes of Halloweenish fun you can have. Sam Raimi is the man.

Evil Dead Rise is another fun Halloween movie.

So my wife and I watched the latest See No Evil.

WOW... The writers and directors need to be slapped!

How idiotic and stupid can you make characters? Totally frustrating and just dumb.

Haha, now watch the original and see what I'm talking about.

Watched this for the first time last night, here the Sarge is getting the easy going troopers into the right shape before going into unknown territory.

Seen this one a few times, Rick. Another good Eastwood movie. Mario Van Peebles is hilarious.

My next one in line is Sisu, Esteban. Probably close my eyes to a few of the cut throat bits but smile in this first scene when two nazi Stuka pilots,who took pleasure in dive bombing fleeing refugee women and children, get their just deserts from Aatami.

Haven't seen this one, Rick. It's now on my watch list. Looks brutally good!

I rewatched "Interstellar" last night with my niece, and I can't get one particular thought out of my mind.

If the population is dying due to the increasing dust/nitrogen/blight, everyone is farming, NASA's disbanded, they've retconned the textbooks to say that the lunar landings were a hoax, and there's no more high technology (only old Latitude laptops and ten year old cars, apparently).....

How in the HELL did the teeny, tiny "all that remains" NASA manage to launch *multiple* supply rockets up the gravity well containing materials and (presumably) workers to build their big-arsed-not-landable-on-a-planet-but-wormhole-capable ship (the Endurance) as well as a dozen "Lazarus" rockets with the Ranger spacecraft sitting on top of them......

..... without a SINGLE PERSON ON EARTH noticing huge rockets blasting off all over the place from their secret abandoned NORAD location?????

Watched this last night. I give it 3/5 mostly for an overall scary atmosphere and continually sense of dread and unsettling. But too many unanswered questions. Still, ti's the season for horror.

Finally watched Blade Runner 2049. Amazing story, real nice visuals and loved the synthwave soundtracks.

Might be the rum talking, but does it seem that there is more horror movies being made as a percentage now.....does it have anything to do with the bleak outlook globally? Not trying to turn this discussion political, just an observation fuelled by rum in case I didn't make it clear already. I'm not really a fan of horror. I was looking for something to watch last night and going through what's new/available on my usual streaming services and they all seem to be predominantly horror. End or rant, back for a top up. Cheers.

I couldn't continue watching this film and gave up, just Nolan's imagination running riot.

This.... has potential, but is only playing in limited release, so it might be a little hard to find outside of a large metropolitan area.

It won the 2024 Palme D'or at Cannes and the reviews have been universally off the frelling hook.

Anora on IMDB.

So, my wife and I watched "Beetlejuice" last night (Michael Keaton *had* to be on serious amounts of drugs!) and tonight we watched "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice".

It was fun to watch them back to back. We both thought the first one was a bit better-- the second one had its moments, but it sort of dragged towards the end, and the actual ending was more or less "Time to end the movie-- put some *serious* Burton Weirdness in and call it a day."

Worth watching, though. And after watching both of them? I can definitively say that Tim Burton should be locked in a psych ward and the key thrown away. That dude's brain is.... NOT normal.
