DDL is so good that it's hard to comprehend that his character here and Bill the Butcher are played by the same man

We rewatched The Faculty because it was on while we were flipping through channels.

I saw Personal Shopper on but scrolled past because the wife is sick and didn't want to make her think I was gonna force her to watch a Kirsten Stewart movie.

The Ritual.
Eh. I didn't care for it.

Also rewatched Miss Stevens. A fun gem.

The Ritual was gonna be my movie after work so maybe I’ll avoid it now

You might like it. It's visually impressive but it was just standard horror fare

Christian @ 10/2/2018 23:56 The World's End. It made me laugh a few times, and I loved how quickly it turned serious in the Gents. While it is the weakest of the Cornetto Trilogy, it is still pretty good. I also LMAO when he's running around in a Sisters of Mercy t-shirt years later.

Which one is the best? I haven't seen Hot Fuzz yet, but apparently that one made the most money.

The Visit was....good! I liked it. I can see why people were saying it was the start of Shyamalan's comeback

I knew the twist going into it which was disappointing. It's a cool twist. I think I would've seen it coming a mile away? But it's hard to say since I knew it the whole time and all the clues were extra obvious to me. Made for a much different viewing experience, it must've been such a weird movie watching it PURE Some really creepy moments, especially the hide and seek bit under the house. The first time she came charging towards them I was like OH FUCK RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Definitely the least Shyamalan-ish of all his movies that I've seen, but some of his familiar themes starting popping in at the end. I miss James Newton Howard's score with his movies but that wouldn't really work here since it was found footage. His scores for Unbreakable/The Village/Signs are some of the best ever The kids annoyed the shit outta me. Why did they have to make him a rapper. WHYYYYYYYYY. He was so bad. They both became more rootable in the last 15 minutes but meh Good stuff overall. Fun and surprisingly funny little movie

Yeah, I figured it out at about the mid-way point.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

So good. Wes Anderson is a master and Ralph Fiennes was fucking hilarious in it. His comedic delivery cracked me up, maybe my favorite performance in an Anderson movie

Columbus

ppp good. It was definitely understated, almost to a fault cuz really not too much happens with the characters/story. But for what it was I enjoyed it, the main actress was rly good. The framing is the real reason to watch it tho, the whole movie was eye candy. Almost worth watching just for a tour of the town as much as it is for the actual plot/characters

For a first feature for the director/writer that's about as good a start as you can hope for

Dodgeball


Classic and everything has aged well, except for the Lance Armstrong scene. Made me laugh.

We watched this last week one day and we said the same thing about the Armstrong scene, made it even funnier.

Yaaaaaa

I read afterwards that the guy who made it is a YouTube film video essayist and this was his first dip into movie making. That’s so impressive, makes me appreciate the movie even more. You can sorta tell how much he studies movies because the way he framed everything was so artistic and perfect. I almost liked the interior shots more than the exterior, did you notice how he kept placing mirrors on the edge of the frame to create even more depth? There’s this one shot of Cho using that technique and it’s so great

was the dirty diaper in the face scene a top 10 most repulsive movie moment? I say yes. That was absolutely foul

"Still Mine"

James Cromwell was great.
