The Last Movie You Saw?

[vogue22]

Nowhere to Run (1993) and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2025).

How was the latter? I'm thinking of going to watch it but am not sure yet.

How was the latter? I'm thinking of going to watch it but am not sure yet.

Honestly? 20/10! A total must-see, especially if you've been a fan of the previous Mission: Impossible movies.

I enjoyed it too. Took a bit to find its footing but by an hour in (it's nearly 3 hours) I was completely hooked and on the edge of my seat.

Saw Bring Her Back on a whim by looking at a poster. Didn't watch the trailer. 👎. To make this exclusively about me, I don't know, just recently starting to have stuff bubble up in therapy, knowing how mentally ill I am by the relatively tame upbringing I had, I did not like watching kids go through such horrible stuff in this movie. This was just but a bunch of perverted cruelty with nothing tying together at all. Misery p*rn, empty artsy shots, edgelord gore. I thought Sally Hawkins did a good job playing an absolute nut job but that is it.

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (fell asleep in the middle lol)

oh sorry it's actually Materialists (went for it later that day).

Not bad- I like Dakota Johnson onscreen, but overall it was rather.....skimpy on anything meaningful to say or even characterisation.

I also saw Materialists. I liked it quite a bit, but I do think it ended up suffering a smidge from not having a foot firmly planted in either "fun romance" OR "biting social commentary"

I wouldn't have thought it had anything particularly new or astute to say, but the "this is broke man propaganda!" comments that have erupted from so many people watching the movie have made me rethink that. Unfortunately, it seems the writer/director's POV and messaging were lost on many.

Hermana Muerte - MUCH better than I expected anything produced by Netflix to be given how homogenised they like their content (though that might also be something to do with its being the prequel to Veronica, Paco Plaza's previous film)

Just got back from a screening of Querelle lol

Saw 28 Years Later. Meh from me dawg. It may be because I’m terminally online, but there were a lot of online references with the Wagner playing and the ubermensch-esque theme and the “alpha” zombies with their barbaric penises.

Also noticed another thing across films, talmbout a memento mori in this one explicitly, while The Phoenician Scheme had tons of death along with Korda keeping a skull on his desk for the same reason. Chile these times got everyone contemplating mortality!

Also saw 28 Years Later. I liked it well enough. The parts with Comer and Fiennes in the last act got me good, cheesy as they were.

Saw Jurassic World Rebirth and it was exactly what one would expect. Whatever, fun enough.

Agreed. There wasn’t anything groundbreaking in it (well, duh..), but it was fun enough. And, I mean, Jonathan Bailey in those sl*tty little glasses? I'm a fan.

...their barbaric penises.

Barbaric penises LMFAO ……Are these types of penises particularly uncivilized? Uncultured? Aggressive? Violent? Imagine having yours described as that... Compliment or insult???

The Alpha was hot… They should have modelled the alpha after that famous hairless chimp: He was truly a horrifying nightmare of a visual, because he was real. I can’t for the life of me ever understand the utter lack of basic instincts with these people having chimps as pets. It never ends well. It’s the same for people that keep big cats or poisonous reptiles— or surf during a storm.
