Recently Watched Films

Watched this on Saturday in one sitting despite the 3+ hour length. 

I love it when history comes to life.

Watched this last night and thought it was great. It's thought-inspiring - what would you do in the same situation? Clint Eastwood plays an old man really well because he's not pretending to be anything except an old man. Personally I think he's well underrated as an actor.

One I didn't post from this morning:

A bit hard to follow, but overall a decent supernatural horror, possibly even underrated. 

I love that movie! Not seen it in years.

This is neither as good as some make it out to be, nor as crap as it initially appears to be. It needed a lot of build-up, where I sat there wondering why I was watching it, to reach a point that perseverance actually paid off. However when it did it was hilarious. I imagine a fair few people switch this off in the first half hour, as I so nearly did. Sadly the final act wouldn't work as a short without the context of the first two. Ironically it probably deserves to be recognised as a bona fide art film, but it's disguised as garbage. 

Not terribly in depth or ground breaking. I don't think I learned anything much new. Watching Ozzy be Ozzy is sometimes cringe-worthy, but usually a bit of fun.

Just watched this myself. Wow, what an ending! And a great turn from Bo Burnham, who I only knew from his comedy songs.

I have that lined up to watch. I think she's an outstanding actress. To put pictures in here, I usually go to https://www.themoviedb.org/ as it has most things both movie and TV related. Then just right click on the movie poster, copy image, and paste straight into the editor window.

Anyway, I watched this last night:

Not the biggest budget or best written movie ever, but the chemistry between the two lead characters is great. It's a (mostly) gentle comedy with a couple of hilarious twists.

There are few genuinely good slashers IMO. I much prefer supernatural or psychological horror. 

If you haven't seen it I highly recommend checking out The Lighthouse. That's a pretty out there psychological horror movie. It's a very different different breed of movie to the grounded but disturbing Misery though. I've watched it three times since it was released and remained as transfixed by it on the third watch as much as the first time around.
