Nope.
Viewed on an Imax screen today.
Wide in scope and vision, but exasperatingly tedious, the message...if there is one fails in delivering anything of substance.
I'm fine with a great movie that leaves things up to the viewer to decipher, yet muddy water is difficult to see into.
3/6 beers on the RFSRS.
Prey was damn good. Not a masterpiece, but a worthy addition to the Predator pantheon. It went back to the basics that made the alien such a terrifying force in the first place.
Appreciated the little callouts to past films, and I think the main actress did a great job.
4/5

Of course things get more tense as she takes on riskier, higher paying tasks.

It is on my list just because of Aubrey.
Prey 4/4
Not reinventing the wheel but I can't find any fault in it.
NOPE (X 2) 4/4
Saw it twice and want to see it again. Insidiously layered film.
Orphan (re-watch) 3.5/4
The first watch was WTH and the second watch was LMAO.
In the Mouth of Madness (re-watch) 3.5/4
Some really bad music for the opening and ending credits and some of those practical effects didn't hold up to what The Thing still delivers. Still a freaky movie.
Yeah, it was freaky alright. Always thought of it in the same vein as "Event Horizon". That film gives me the creeps big time for some reason!! lolQuote:

Event Horizon still creeps me tf out to this very day. I've seen it 100 times and it never fails to make me uneasy watching it.
Not streaming anywhere I have access to so maybe my guy has a copy of it. He loves Sci-Fi.
Saw it on the big screen when it was first in theaters. Yeah, creepy af.
Watched Fresh last night and loved it. One of those where it's best to go in knowing as little as possible.
Agreed! Fresh was one of my favorite Sundance films and has been one of my favorite films of the year.
That's the one with Sebastian Stan, right? If so I've had that on my Hulu queue for a while but haven't gotten around to it.
That's the one!
Your homework is to watch it tonight!
And Daisy Edgar Jones. She's about to blow up.Quote:

5/6 Beers on the RFSRS.
Watched Ouija: Origin of Evil, and stange as it may sound, it was pretty good. The reviews for the first the series were not good, so my daughter and I just jumped to the sequel. It turned out to be a real fun romp. 7.5/10
Yeah, Origin of Evil is one of those cases of a horror prequel being better than the original.
It's Mike FlanaganQuote:

I'd only dock it points because the structure makes it just a tad disjointed, and the climax reveal was one I've seen in a couple films before.Quote:

It's definitely a fun movie and one I did not see coming. I do have a specific question about the plot that maybe someone can help with, don't read if you haven't seen....
