#Watching SAW 3D
3d and Saw movies. Too much of both of them in the early 20-teens.

Surface level observations abound. Heavy handed dialogue and visuals that assault you in case you weren't being clear on what was going on. Nothing subtle about the movie but at least it's entertaining. Every scene involving what it's like to not be white feels like it's underlined twice and there isn't a character that isn't a stereotype, but there are genuinely funny moments ("It's good to be white") that sneak in despite itself. See it with your favorite POC. As an Asian person watching this--- *mike cuts out*
I've been watching a lot of John Carpenter films lately. Wondering which are people's favourites?
I really love In the Mouth of Madness and Dark Star, also Prince of Darkness and The Thing, and They Live. Those would be my top 5 I think.

#Watching LOVE OBJECT
Tonally inconsister horror movie about an incel who buys a sex doll that looks like a coworker. Nothing bad can happen after that.

Tonally inconsister horror movie about an incel who buys a sex doll that looks like a coworker. Nothing bad can happen after that. Tries using broad humor to make the incel less creepy, but when that fails just goes to standard horror tropes. Udo Kier steals his scenes as an overtly evil landlord. He looks and sounds like he's acting in a different movie. It's a good thing. Rip Torn is in this. Strap in. If you like lonely guys that you wouldn't want to meet in real life, this you might like but not love.

Not quite the beat-by-beat redux of the first Ready or Not, but comes pretty close. Samara Weaving and Kathryn Newton play well off each other despite their backstory feeling forced. Elijah Wood looks like he's having a lot of fun force feeding the audience necessary exposition. Radio Silence handles these scenes as well as you can as the info dumps rarely feel droning or tedious. If you're a fan of the first movie (I am) you don't mind seeing things retread as everything is bigger and bloodier. Set pieces are more elaborate, though you intuit the diminishing returns and miss
#Watching THE DESCENT PART 2
A completely unnecessary sequel to one of the best horror movies of the aughties. They should have buried this deeper.

A completely unneccesary sequel to one of the best horror movies of the aughties. Relies on the soap opera plot point of amnesia to a key character because otherwise there wouldn't be any movie. Fails on every level when compared to the Neil Marshall original. The cave sets look laughably cheap and the once terrifying cave creatures look like swap meet cosplay. Almost in apology, the viewer is bathed in gore. Shauna MacDonald's haunting performance in the original is replaced by a 90's one dimensional action heroine and even by horror movie standards there are implausibilities you can't gloss over.

The Bride has a, I'm sorry, THE BRIDE! has a lot going on in every single frame. If you can forgive the occasional stalls in the narrative and pointed momentum-stopping monologuing you'll have a really fun time. After seeing mopey Jessie Buckley in Net of the Ham, it's blast to see her play to the cheap seats. Christian Bale displays surprising depth under all that makeup. It's not a shock that Bale is great, but he's the only performer that's not amped to an 11 in every frame. If you like movie with titles of female archetypes that end with
