The Last Movie You Saw?

[khoinguyen666]

Just watched Lost Highway. Watched Rushmore yesterday

 

[susseinmcswanny]

Bodies Bodies Bodies heh the b*tch with the glow stick necklaces and bracelets on the whole time made me lol

 

[Benn98]

Nope. Astounding visuals and cinematography, interesting storyline, but dull performances except for Keke Palmer.

I'm a horror junkie and recently I watched Noroi (Curse) and The Slit Mouthed Woman

 

[fashON]

The worst person in the world (Norwegian). Not bad, but a bit overrated in my opinion.

 

[cestmagique]

^yeah, I wasn't in love with it either.

 

[aracic]

Not usually one for horrors, but I find myself enjoying Jordan Peele's films so I had to give Nope a try. Really enjoyed the film! The plot and cinematography were indeed spectacular and Keke was amazing.

I also watched Do Revenge on Netflix last night, and I must say that it's perhaps the best modern rom-com I've seen in years. It has that glossy spirit of the early 2000s films of its genre; amazing fashion, amazing soundtrack, a lovely cast and an interesting plot that's predictable but intriguing enough. I didn't expect much as Netflix is known to deliver truly bad teen films, but this was a pleasant surprise.

It’s an acquired taste…. If you don’t like it, squire some taste!



jk (but also it’s an incredible movie)

I'm sat watching Hocus Pocus now, in preparation for our viewing party of Hocus Pocus 2 tomorrow night!

 

[susseinmcswanny]

Finally saw Pearl. I thought it was gonna be scary but I was mostly either feeling really sorry for her or laughing during the scary bits because it was so campy and ridiculous. Also loved that she named the alligator Theda lol

 

[kissmesweet]

I saw Fresh by Mimi Cave, which was eerie, delicious, and really fantastic overall. Great directing, writing, and acting!

Amsterdam. Horrible. Easily in the top 10 of worst movies I've ever seen, don't even know what the others are but seriously considered walking out. The acting was just bad and you can tell it's the director, asking them to be funny in this trite, Hollywood, not funny way and asking them to hold reactions for too long and prolonging every take like, yes, we get it, you think the actor is really really good-looking, now.. have the actor act maybe?. Also, whatever the plot was.. you can tell he first envisioned hot actors in long takes and grotesque situations and then plugged a random plot in: 'how the US did NOT wind up with a dictator!'.. bravo.

Tár. The opposite of the above.. just brilliant. Always in awe by how Cate Blanchett brings characters to this rare spot where they have all this poise and elegance and still manage to be hilarious and self-deprecating, you can tell there's a lot of work involved but the result is so smooth and natural: a conductor who's fluent in German and is also a predator? you got it lol. The director also did a nice job ridiculing both the wokeness of the Juilliard student and the entitled, ultra privileges types who are convinced they have earned their place above the law. We’re at a point where most think it’s one or the other but you can reject both. Pretty much everything she says in that scene has so much truth, including the fact that (spoiler) just saying that among people ‘so eager to be offended’ and less eager to listen and learn from others, contributes to bring her down at the end.

Also, her apartment and 90s Jil Sander-esque wardrobe..

 

[heyjaded]

Finally got to watch Benedetta, and Virginie Efira is wonderful in it. The directing and cinematography are also amazing. And seeing some other comments, I can't wait for TÁR and Pearl.

 

[KoV]

Tár looks soooooo good, saw a trailer a while back I didn’t even realize it was out in theaters yet!

 

[xoxoadore]

Leggo Batman movie i dont know if it was the edibles, but it was actually really funny

On a more serious note, Pearl was 10/10 for me!! (hope to see Barbarian before it leaves the theaters, my brother said it was easily one of his top ten movies of 2022 so far)

 

[Bugsy]

I watched the new Hellraiser movie on Hulu. I liked it better than the original.

 

[susseinmcswanny]

Halloween Ends ??? What the F was that babes??

Halloween Ends ??? What the F was that babes??

I thought it was weird too.

 

[MulletProof]

Stars at Noon. It’s basically whatever the trailer says: an American prostitute slash journalist meets a shady British guy (who's always dressed in colonial white) in Nicaragua and they have sex in seedy places, all while being chased by a cartel, the corrupt government, a guerrilla group, an oil company, the CIA, all or none of the above.. and Margaret Qualley cries in every scene because.. ??,.. and that's really the entire plot. My only takeaway, Taylor Swift's taste in men is not bad at all!

 

[nejtak]

Triangle of Sadness. I quite enjoyed it, did not feel as long as it was either even though there have been plenty of scenes that were purposely long.

Before someone is coming for me because of the overt capitalist critique in it, the last movie I saw before that was the Netflix movie in which this American that had just been dumped goes to Verona to live her Romeo & Juliet dream. Triangle of Sadness was good!
