Alien: Romulus was exceptional!

A Real Pain is pretty good. It's a dramedy about two cousins who go on a holocaust tour of Poland in honor of their deceased Grandma. The subtext is about the different ways millennials carry grief.

I'm going to see Weapons tomorrow at Downtown West with some friends .... it looks like a Pied Piper type horror story. It's getting good reviews. Will post a review tomorrow night. Stay tuned.

Weapons is full on weird. Not gonna be an easy explanation or review .... not even sure how I feel about it.



7/10

It's okay, I guess .... seems like it's getting more hype than is deserved.

Weapons 9/10. Excellence. What a fun ride!

The antagonist is a crazy voodoo aunt/lady and it unfolds in character chapters that overlap each other. Leaves a lot unexplained.

Spoiler that please.

 

[BowlBrother85]

Spoiler that please.

It was more of a mystery than horror ..... and I came away wanting more of a motive of the crazy aunt. What was at work here? It wasn't bad, but it seemed a little hollow. It's a hard movie to explain.

Im just saying you are giving too much away man. Im glad I knew nothing of that going in.

That director is rebooting Resident Evil next. It is without a doubt my favorite video game series...but the movie adaptations have been pure trash so far. I will say im not too keen on this guy so far because he has said there will not be any characters from the game and it will be an original story. Which is pretty much why the other RE movies were horrible.

I haven't seen Weapons but it does look intriguing...I have seen Barbarian which I did enjoy.

big difference? probably not but less you know the better with a movie centered around a mystery, IMO.

If somebody even tells me there is a twist, it usually ruins it. I'm especially avoidant of spoilers though. I don't even usually watch full trailers

 

[bignewt]

the trailers for Weapons did a great job hiding everything, but yeah I like to go in as blind as possible.

Kneecap is so good (on Netflix)

 

[bigdaddy]

Weapons. I liked it. Good horror. Some funny moments. Not anything new but a good way to tell a story. Not a huge RT fan so I’m not saying 10/10 but solid. I will say the previews for the more Jordan Peele movie looks good

 

[bignewt]

Remedied the fact I had never watched Children of Men. Wow is it poignant for today. Like eerily so.

If you haven't read it, the book is great and different in meaningful ways, and I love both.

The DP was on fire in that movie.

Cuaron is an amazing director

Alien Romulus was really good.

Alien has become clearly one of the greatest movie franchises. Outside of a few bad Predator crossover movies, their batting average/slugging % are like Barry Bonds numbers.
