Pick your poison: ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ด๐ต ๐๐ช๐ต๐ค๐ฉ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ meets ๐๐ถ๐ต๐ญ๐ข๐ธ ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐จ, 300: ๐๐ช๐ด๐ฆ ๐ฐ๐ง ๐ข๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ช๐ณ๐ฆ meets the ๐๐ด๐ด๐ข๐ด๐ด๐ช๐ฏ'๐ด ๐๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ movie, or ๐๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ง ๐๐จ๐บ๐ฑ๐ต meets ๐๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ช๐ฏ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฅ (2018) - you decide. Either way they all eventually mesh with ๐๐ฐ๐ค๐ฌ๐ฏ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ๐ญ๐ข, too. As stupid and trashy as it needs to be, legit some of the dumbest stuff imaginable lmfao. Pure junky spectacle with jaw-dropping visuals and neurotic editing, felt like somebody laced my drink with crack while I was watching it. God-tier Law performance right here, chews the scenery so much that legend has it his jaw dislocated. Unmistakably Ritchie in areas but unfortunately often sacrifices auteur personality for genre convention (take a shot every time you see a side character you'll remember and you'll end up totally sober - and that stupid joke about the roundtable at the end was puh-thetic). To say this frankly disgraceful excuse of a screenplay is the exact same movie as all of these other edgy historical action-remakes for high school boys would be a severe understatement. Glad it didn't turn too much into jokey blockbuster corn or yet another over-emphasized failed origin story (most of this is wisely cut to montages with like nu-gothic heavy breathing scores lol). In short, the type of movie I'm *shocked* wasn't released in 2003/2004. I feel bad for those who love King Arthur and then saw this movie - but Jude Law cuts off a guy's ear then whispers into it and Charlie Hunnam full-on does the ๐๐ธ๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐จ๐ฉ๐ต: ๐๐ฆ๐ธ ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฏ angst-run through the woods. So of course I, for one, enjoyed the hell out of it.

The premise. (1 more)
The mind games. Adds some suspense, even though you come to expect it since itโs the killerโs trademark.
The romance. Too much for this type of book. (2 more)
The identity was revealed too early.
The motive.
Overall, it was a fun, quick read. I wouldnโt call it scary, though.
I like a good slasher movie, and even some bad ones, but have come across few books with a similar story. So, I applaud this author for taking a risk and writing it, especially since this isnโt her typical genre. It kept my attention and I enjoyed it, even though there were a few things that bothered me.
I received an arc of this book through a giveaway by the publisher, giveaway was posted on Goodreads.

Interesting story with supernatural elements
Follows several families in a small German town, as you get further in you see that three generations of each family have been/are involved.
Subtitles or dubbed english (1 more)
That end of the last episode made it seem like next season would be even more far fetched and maybe not in a good way.
Interesting story that follows three generations of several families in a small German town. Itโs definitely a show youโll have to pay attention to or youโll get lost. My only concern is the end of the last episode, seems like it might be headed in the direction of a bad syfy movie. Just have to wait and see.

A Classic Movie
This is one of my all time favourite films. I've probably watched this film 50+ times (not an exaggeration) and I would happily watch it today.
What I love about this films is not only has this got fantastic choreography and music, but a steamy love story too. I like how even though Patrick Swayze's character is a sexy cool bad boy, but there is also a sensitivity to him as well,
I also like that the main female character is pretty, but also has brains too.
I will never tire of this film and if you haven't watched this yet (where have you been?!), I'd definitely recommend it.

MCU Sequel
As we all know sometimes sequels can let us down. This one was par for the course. We catch up with Spiderman doing his good deeds, still being love sick with Mary Jane and now dealing with his friend harry wanting the death of spiderman because he thinks he killed his dad and he is the head of Oscorp. Our new villian is Dr. Octopus. A physicist whose experiment goes wrong cause a robotic set of arms graphing to his spinal cord.
We also see Spiderman faltering during this movie losing some of his powers cause he relies on them too much and not himself. Not bad for a sequel and it keeps with the comic book better than most.

Bad mustache, decent movie
The impressive cast assembled for this film is definitely the high point in this latest remake. "Perfect" looking movies like this are always very pretty, but almost too good. The train/outdoor CGI looked a little fake to me and took me out of the film during a few of the outdoor shots.
The acting was all very good and the complicated story was interesting and kept me guessing as to the eventual perpetrator; however, I thought it was a tad anticlimactic.
The suspects slowly reveal their motives and partial truths which make the ending a little more interesting.
Overall, I was never bored while watching, but just thought it was missing something which kept it from greatness.

I don't remember the first time I watched this film. I'm sure it was in my younger age at some point, but I was happy to revisit it. I think this film does a good job of bringing you into Robert and his character and going on this journey with him instead of watching him go on it.
Obviously the worst part of the film is Sam and that's all I'll say. I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about but I'll still leave it obscure for fun.
I wanted to like the ending of this film so bad but it just felt so unnecessary. I think it made sense for it, especially with the last lines of the movie, but I'm still grumpy about it.

Not bad
This is an older one I'd never seen. Thre cinematography was decent and the story played out really well. The acting was good. It had more than a fe faces I'd recognized from old tv shows and movies. It had a decent twist on your typical demonic possession movie. Nothing too terribly graphic-a couple of "almost" sex scenes but they kept it clean. A little bit more on the violence side but it had a very "90s" feel about it(imo)-showing you just enough blood and guts to keep you interested but not overdoing it. Overall this was an entertaining film from before Megan Fox haf a bunch of work done(when she was better looking). Worth a watch!

Double Cross
The Corruptor- is a really good movie. Its a very underrated action packed drama film. Both Mark Walhberg and Chow Yun-Fat are both great.
The plot: Martial arts expert Detective Nick Chen (Chow Yun-Fat) teams up with his colleague Danny Wallace (Mark Wahlberg) to keep several gangs in New York City's Chinatown from annihilating each other. They must contend not only with the increasingly power-hungry gangsters, but also with the temptation of bribery and corruption as the bad guys divide and conquer the police forces. In what's beginning to seem like a losing battle, Chen and Wallace struggle to establish law and prevent more bloodshed.
If you havent seen this film than go watch it. Cause its really good.

LeftSideCut (3776 KP) rated Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) in Movies
Apr 7, 2021
To it's credit, this sixth installment in the Halloween franchise is proper batshit. Its out of place quick edits and completely incoherent plot weirdly complement the bizarre performances. At one point, Paul Rudd walks away with a baby in his arms, hunched over like a suspicious child snatcher. Characters inexplicably know where to find eachother without prior contact. Nine of them behave like actual human being. Michaels blood is now green apparently? And they leaned hard into the cult stuff introduced in the previous movie. Its a shame because it eliminates most of Michaels mystique.
Halloween 6 is 100% a bad film, but I automatically rate it more than Halloween 5 just because of how nuts it is. Not quite the worst, miles away from the best.
