I watched Alien Romulus last night. It was pretty meh. I appreciated some of the other movies in the universe that covered new ground, but Romulus was basically
Tap for spoiler
"trapped in a spaceship with aliens," which been pretty well covered by the series so far.
Agreed, it was just fine. I found the fan service callbacks to the previous movies pretty distracting and unnecessary.
I really enjoyed it but fuck me the callbacks really took away from it. Like it's a decent movie, just stand on your own. We've all seen Aliens.
Finally watched Ginger Snaps 2, I really liked it and with that I have watched all the Ginger Snaps movies
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, not as good as the first one, but not as bad either.
A worthy sequel...
Yes, worthy may be a good word to describe it.
I just watched the Stutterer short film, really well written and directed, it made me shed a small tear at the end π₯²
Do you mind me asking where you saw that? I've a heap of shorts in my watchlist but can never find any of them anywhere.
Ahem, you know, on the high seas π΄ββ οΈ
El Hoyo 1 and 2. Not sure of the English name, The Platform?
Watched the first a few years back and quite liked it, went back and watched the first again for a refresh and then the second the next day. Quite enjoyed it although the second left more questions again xD
Also watched Inside Out 1 and 2. They were alright I guess, some humorous moments. The first was definitely stronger than the second.
Red dragon
Up in smoke: "classic" style weed movie
VHS beyond: I like the V/H/S movies style and watch every one of them, since they are anthologies there's always at least a couple of good episodes
Deadpool & Wolverine: it's ok
Watched Barbarian after having it in my list for a while. It was VERY annoying seeing the main character make one bad decision after another. But somehow it was still a really good movie.
Coraline with my daughter. Killing them softly by myself. I had seen it before but the details had been lost to time. Pretty decent flick.
Alien Romulus
I really liked it. After not really following and not even watching the trailer I saw it still running in a local cinema (no 3D) and decided to watch it on a whim. It was everything I had hoped for
