Watched Nosferatu. 

A young estate agent travels to Transylvania to conduct business with a mysterious Count Orlok, he quickly comes to realise the Count is not a normal man.....

Absolutely loved this, a fabulous retelling of the original, very similar in many ways, infused with a constant feeling of unease and dread. Superb performances from all involved, the Orlok design is different and original. 

GNTLGNT

....well done prequel....superior to Fury Road in my mental mush.....

We watched the first half of Wicked and will finish it off tonight. Sucker’s almost 3 hours and it’s only half of the adaptation! Part 2 comes out in November. 

GNTLGNT

.....so-so......but mostly kept my attention....

Kurben

Watched The Hunt (2020) with Betty Gulpin and Hilary Swank in the lead. I liked it. As long as you swallow the rather farfetched premise it is a good survival action piece. Netflix

Kurben

Watched The Sentinel with Michael Douglas, Kiefer Sutherland, Kim Basinger and Eva Longoria in the main parts. Douglas is a secret service agent falsely accused of lying behind an assassination attempt on the president. Nothing really original but well put together and acted. Nothing i will return to but nothing i regret seeing. (i saw an absolutely abysmal horror movie yesterday, have even forgotten the name, that really made me regret watching it. )

This is one messed up movie. Not in a good way. Somebody here mentioned they saw it. Kurb? I don't know why Kevin Bacon agreed to be in it.

Not guilty. I have seen a quite good french-rumanian horror movie named Them (Ils) from 2007 but this one has eluded me (and reading through a brief synopsis probably a good thing too)

It's a of a bunch of kids in gay reform camp horrible stereotypes. Scary stalker person. In the midst of all they break out in song and dance for some reason. Pretty graphic sex scenes too.

GNTLGNT

....I found this to be quite interesting.....

GNTLGNT

....recent Swedish disaster styled film....rather formulaic but not a bad watch overall....

Kurben

Watched Rampage with Dwayne Johnson, Naomie Harris, Malin Akerman and Joe Manginiello in the leads. An action flic that was entertaining enough but nothing really new. Akerman is the head of a genetic experiment company whose experiment infects three normal creatures, a gorilla, a wolf and a crocodile who gets bigger stronger and power to heal quick. 

GNTLGNT

....it was a good romp....a bruiser and his "pet" gorilla.....

GNTLGNT

....really got into this one.....creepy AF.......

Notaro

Watched Wolf Man.



A man goes with his wife and young daughter to his father's remote cabin in the woods, while enroute he narrowly avoids hitting something strange on the road and crashes his truck, they are then attacked by something and they flee to the cabin, he realises he has been injured,  and he slowly starts to change.....

I had high hopes for this as I really enjoyed the director's take on The Invisible Man a couple of years ago. It starts off ok but overall I just felt it was a bit dull, there are a couple of decent moments but the big letdown was the werewolf design, it was just awful, I understand that they tried to do something a bit different but it just didn't work for me.

GNTLGNT

....cyberpunk cautionary tale.....damn good film....

BevVincent

We wanted to like SECTION 31, and Michelle Yeoh is very good in it, but…the secondary characters were mostly annoying, the fight scenes over-long and much of the movie too planet-bound. The tone was uneven and it wasn’t half as funny as it tried to be. The cameo at the end felt awkwardly forced.

GNTLGNT

....not a bad retro-romp.....

not_nadine

The substance. I don't know about you guys but I thought it was just ridiculous. Makeup and effects from at least five different movies that I've seen.
Anyone remember that workout show that used to be on where they exercised on mirrors? Geez

Kurben

Not bad but nothing really new in the exorcist movie lane. Crowe was good in the lead and i liked the voice of the demon coming from the little boy. Franco Nero as the pope was fun, dont thing i've seen him since these spaghettiwesterns from the 60,s early 70,s. Django i think was the name. The origin of Tarantinos better Django movie.

....I've hesitated to watch this because it seemed rather MEH....but I'll take a chance on it now Kurb....

Criterion Channel — wildcat. Live streaming event on now.Repeats at 10. 

Ethan Hawk written about Flannery OConnor.

Watched Atlas with Jennifer Lopez. Ok but not more. Mindless action and explosions. It is a bit of a pity because the subject is worthy of a better look. When AI gets smarter than humans will they become a danger? If they get smarter how can we learn from that without getting into danger. The only reference the movie made to the basic problem was quoting Asimov and one of his rules for robots but they did not follow his advice.
