Matt BirchlerMovie #42: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
It’s a coincidence, but it’s honestly perfect that this was my 42nd movie of the year.
Movie #44: The Evil Dead
Watched again with friends, and my review from a few weeks ago still stands https://isfeeling.social/@matt/110480500496987707

Attached: 1 image Movie #41: The Evil Dead I decided to stop watching the series in reverse and get to the start.
Movie #45: Evil Dead 2
I expect this to somehow be one of my less popular reviews, even though I liked it 🫣
Movie #58: Sisu
P.S. I’m on Letterboxd and post all my reviews there as well. I’d love to follow more people there, so drop your profile 😁 https://letterboxd.com/mattbirchler/
Movie #61: Jurassic Park III
This was actually the first DVD I ever owned. I liked it at the time, but woof, it’s way worse than I remembered 😬
Movie #62: Jurassic World
Was going to give this one an “okay” score until the final act. An all time shocker 😂
Movie #63: Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1
Saw this in a Dolby Vision theater and it was pretty great. Video and audio were nice, but the bass in the seats elevates certain scenes.
Movie #73: The Meg
It’s possible the Jurassic World trilogy has lowered my standards, but at least this was a bit of fun.
Movie #77: John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum
I’m not sure I’ve seen so much breakaway glass used in a single film before 😨
Movie #79: John Wick: Chapter 4
And that's the John Wick franchise (so far, of course)! Amazingly, all 4 of these fell into my "good" category, which is remarkably consistent.
Also noting that last year on Aug 20 I watched my 51st movie of the year, so I'm *flying* past my 100 movies goal this year 😱
Movie #89: Out of Sight

Movie #95: Shin Godzilla
Highly recommend not watching the dubbed version of this. I toggled over a few times and the English acting is…rough. Subs FTW.
Movie #97: Kill Bill: Vol. 1

Movie #100: Shutter Island
Figured I could do a spooky movie and a Scorsese flick at at once 😉
Movie #101: After Hours
Not technically spooky, but this is also a bit of a nightmare for the protagonist.
davpel@matt My favorite film of all time.
Tim Chaten@matt You should track this down to watch during spooky season! Early Peter Jackson and lots of fun - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103873/
Florian Taltavull@matt Apparently I’m a little behind 😜
@florianlionel Never too late to start catching up 😁

ravi
Lee Peterson (LJPUK)@matt still get nightmares thinking about the school classroom scene
James Norton@matt I enjoy your reviews thanks. What does “an all time oner shot” refer to in this one?
@matt the suspense is killing me - edge data doesn’t seem to like images on Mastodon
Vova Kondriianenko@matt hey, Matt! Could you tell me what app this is?
Robert Kattanek
Nate Barham@matt Love that tagline.
Shankar@matt it’s my favorite movie this year.
Jason Rak@matt Literally watching it right now! lol.
@jasonrak haha what did you think of it?!
@matt I really liked the first 75% of it. Then she stabbed her father after she thought he was attacking her but it was the demon instead yada yada and it kind of went off the rails for me. Not terrible. But probably wouldn’t recommend when there are other better horror movies out there to watch. If you haven’t seen Smile, saw that a couple weeks ago. Much much better IMO
@jasonrak Ah, same. I do agree the last act didn’t stick the landing perfectly, but I think I liked it more overall.
We might have different taste in horror motives, though. Here’s my Smile review from last year 😝
@matt Haha. Yeah but I think we can appreciate something different being done in the horror genre. I’ve been watching horror movies since the early 80s and it’s hard to spook me nowadays. lol. I feel like I’ve seen everything that can be done. Smile seemed to get me a little bit, maybe it’s just the bizarreness of the actual smiling and then knowing it was going to trigger something after the smile that got me. I’m tempted to go see The Nun 2 in theaters this week.
TheBatman@matt I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that enjoyed it! My little zeitgeist said, “Hard Pass” but the kiddo insisted and I’m glad they did!
Andy@matt totally agree. Loved it way more than I thought I was going to
George, Probably 
🇬🇪@matt Re-Animator? I hardly know her!
Matt Smith@matt Out of interest how do you feel about these films with Rowlings views on trans rights?
I was a bit too old to read the books, but came to love the films. Had a tradition where every few years we’d watch one each Sunday on the run up to xmas.
Can’t do it anymore because of JK. Though in most cases I’m torn between seperating the art from the artist, not here, because I feel so let down. I do appreciate the cast being pretty public about disagreeing with her though.
@mttsmth Sooooo, I wrote about my feelings in this area here https://birchtree.me/blog/great-art-from-bad-people/
For HP, I obviously don’t approve of JK’s stance on things, and that does taint the experience for me some. That said, I really adore the story and the other people involved in bringing them to life (who as you said, have made it pretty clear mostly dont share her opinions). The story is also about love and acceptance, so the whole situation is all the more frustrating.
