Captain dark Phoenix of the y-women - 4/10
Had no emotion whatsoever. Felt bland. Like an expensive youtube sketch. Plot eerily similar to captain marvel. With eerily similar ending.
Sticks n stones : 8/10 ha this politically incorrect humour (legit for real and for true the category this is under in Netflix) is hella funny. - 2 points for being hit over the head with a dollhouse.

The Dead Don't Die - 7.5/10
It's different alright. A zombie movie with a script that seems like it was written by someone that took a big bong hit and downed a fistful of Xanax. It's got a strange and very calm kind of absurdity to it that I liked. A lot of references to "stuff", some funny (not in a haha way) acting by Bill Murray, Danny Glover etc. I basically smirked quite a lot while watching it. And Tilda Swinton's role is so weird, adding extra color to what is essentially a low budget zombie comedy where both the zombie genre and comedy genre have been somewhat mellowed out in an interesting way. In fact, the whole movie feels like Bill Murray's "it's not important"-personality.
Will you like it? It depends on what you're expecting. Come in with no expectations and just accept what they're doing and you'll probably enjoy it like I did.

Agree 100%.. Ignore the IMDB ratings.. this one is good. The slow talking, scenes, etc work amazing! The things zombies said were great!! Coffee....Chardeney.. All Star cast!! Salma is still hot!! and even a star wars keychain for Driver.. Go see this!

Apollo 11 : 7/10
Wow.. this was unexpectedly good. Once i saw CNN, I almost deleted it..but this was some good stuff. Get to watch the first landing on the moon first hand. Crazy how NASA HQ allowed everyone to smoke, tons of huge mainframes, just so cool to see old stuff from 1969.. Def check it out if you enjoy Space exploration.

Parasite (2019)
8/10
I liked it. I didn't expect the second half of the film to turn into some crazy and serious drama though

Really? I haven't watched the movie but the trailer made me think "crazy and serious drama"-style movie which I decided to skip.

Not so much drama, I think, but there is a shift in tone. I was a bit surprised with some of the violent scenes, considering it's supposed to be more of a (albeit dark) comedy.
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.

The contrast between the initial lighthearted premise (with shades of parody) and the following grim thriller-esque bits is what makes it special in my opinion. Everything escalates so abruptly

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum - 7/10
Production values get better and better (but watch out for terrible green-screened bridge motorbike scene), but I'm kinda over the senseless violence of this film series. Why not put a little story in the film as well? They have a good thing going with the assassin mythology they have established, I dig it, but it's a scene here, a scene there, and it's gone... back to killing.
Reeves barely speaks at all (maybe for the best, acting-wise), so aside of Wick being a killing machine, I feel like there's nothing more to learn about him..
Hopefully the TV series will force them to develop the actual story a little bit instead of just the action.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."

IT: Chapter 2 - 6.5/10
Definitely worse than the first chapter. More humor, more jumpscares, shitty and incoherent, pacee breaking middle act, some weak script parts, engaging last act.

Lethal Weapon 5
ie.
Dragged Across 2,5 hrs
4 / 10
WTF was the point of this movie?
not even 1,5 hrs of content stretched over 2,5 hrs, so much useless and mind numbingly boring downtime, the writing overall was shit, acting from Mel Gibson was the only acceptable thing in the whole movie. If it was a dumb action movie atleast, but nope, there wasn't even 10 minutes of that in the whole thing, and it was shot so amateurish that it doesn't look better than some fanmade film.

Yesterday. Solid 7.
Had no idea it was Boyle. His indie style with a high budget still shows. Solid fun.

Anna (2019)
6.5/10
Just watch the original Nikita or even the old TV show instead. The only good action scenes were shot in the restaurant, the story was mediocre, the three lovers story sucked (not that I have anything against this, it's just that it was written pretty badly and there was zero chemistry between all of the characters involved)
1) Lenovo Legion 7 (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3080 16Gb, 32Gb DDR4, SSD 1TB +2TB
2) SFFPC (streaming via Moonlight+ Sunshine)

Really great humour, super dry and tongue in cheek. Bill Murray and Adam Driver steal the show, but the cast list is pretty damn amazing.
Instant cult classic.

I'm a big effin' Jarmusch fan, and this made me sleep a couple times at the cinema. Cool that you like it, but it's far from his best films.

The Dead Don't Die 5.8/10.
Nah, this was a real bore. Beautiful photo perhaps, but the movie totally lacked atmosphere and tension, i also didn't care for the characters at all which is a shame since it had some pretty good actors.

To me it felt to much like a shiny surface with nothing beneath, generic (even though they were going for something "different"). Atmosphere is important for any movie, but you're probably right that it wasn't going for any kind of tension really.
