Underrated 💪

Movie #93: Mars Attacks!
Movie #94: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

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 #98: Totally Killer

Movie #99: A Nightmare on Elm Street

1 more for my 100 movie goal for 2023 

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.

Movie #102: A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge

Woof!

Movie #103: Halloween (2018)
Movie #104: A Haunting in Venice

Movie #105: A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors

Also a young Laurence Fishburne who proves he’s always been cool as hell.

Movie #106: The Dog Who Saved Christmas

Movie #107: Quiz Girl

Wife is sick, so chilling out with movies all day.

Movie #108: The Killer
Movie #109: The Descent
Movie #110: Sunshine

Movie #111: A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

I knew it wouldn't be great, but I hoped for more than this 😕

Movie #112: The Conversation

Movie #113: Drag Me to Hell

2 movies by lunchtime? Yes, I am enjoying my week off 😜

Movie #114: True Lies

Also acknowledging that parts of this have not aged great.

Movie #115: [REC]

The biggest bummer here is despite the Apple TV version of this supposedly having the original Spanish audio, the player only let me use the English dub.

Movie #116: All the President’s Men
Movie #117: Hone Alone
Movie #118: Cape Fear
Movie #119: Killers of the Flower Moon
Movie #120: Past Lives

Movie #121: The Nun

It feels more like a bad theme park ride than a film with an actual story to tell.

I might, honestly 😂 People seem to generally like the second one more, so might give it a shot. It's on the very of being a fun movie, but this one fell on the wrong side of that line.

Movie #122: The Nun II

Oof.

Movie #123: Clear and Present Danger

Not that it’s super important, but this movie might have the most obviously ADR’d lines in a movie I’ve ever seen.

Movie #124: Oppenheimer

Uh, use the alt text to read this one 😂

Movie #125: The Fugitive

Movie #126: Fatal Attraction

A boring bummer of a film 😭

Movie #127: When Evil Lurks
Movie #128: Suitable Flesh

Watched this one yesterday, but got so caught up in updating the site I forgot to post the actual review 🙃

Movie #136: The Black Phone
Movie #137: Possession

Movie #138: Anatomy of a Fall

I waffled on “good” vs “great” for this one, and I think my answer could vary by the day. If you’re remotely interested in this one, I highly recommend it.

@matt stupid question, but is is possible to change the poor-okay-good-great scale to something else (localize it or use other words to explain the reaction) on quickreviews.app?

@teisam Not a stupid question! Custom names were actually in the original, and there’s code on the back end to handle it, but I don’t have a UI for setting them right now.

I removed it about a year ago when I saw nobody (including myself) using it, and I wanted to simplify the UI a bit. I’ll consider bring it back, though!

@matt do you enjoy gross, surreal films 🤣 would be great if these posts had a link to the film
@CaptainLou It’s a good idea. Where would you expect to be linked to? I haven’t done it this far largely because there’s not an obvious/useful place I can think of.
@matt that is a great question. Callsheet? 😉 I personally would find it most useful for a link to where/how to watch it. But I can see people also wanting some additional information beyond your mini review. Maybe the Watch Now tab of TMDB? Though that combines both needs, it may be confusing
@matt Oh man, I loved this one personally. Hit me in the heart strings towards the end.

@matt Never heard of it, but the Great has me intrigued.

What did you watch it on?

@ravi I rented it on iTunes, but I’m sure it’s everywhere you can do rentals. The trailer might give you an idea whether you would vibe with it.

The Holdovers | Official Trailer 1

YouTube
@matt I don’t do trailers! But our idea of Great generally vibes (Asteroid City aside!)
@matt I agree, GREAT movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. (Disclaimer: I'm a huge Paul Giamatti fan.)
@cliff538 Anyone with two eyes and a heart should be a Giamatti fan 😝
@matt @cliff538 Finally watched it, and it was indeed a cracker! 🙏
@matt This movie freaked me out so much as a kid that I can’t bring myself to watch it as an adult. But everyone raves about it. I know I’m missing out!
@TheMikeBurke the review or the fact I haven’t seen it until now???

@matt Sorry, the fact that you haven’t seen it until now is surprising. I am 100% on board with the review.

In addition to being a great movie, it is also really technically impressive. I think the Corridor Crew team did a pretty cool breakdown about it at some point (or maybe it was multiple small mentions).

But hey, welcome to the club!

@matt I’ve also still never watched this one!!
@matt how do you pick what to watch? I mostly give up on picking something after an hour and do something else. 😥

@stevenodb haha, well one thing that helped was deciding I wanted to watch a lot of stuff, so that got me in the habit of just picking something and going.

Also Letterboxd is a great resource for seeing what other people are excited about right now, and I can always find something on the front page there if I'm not sure what to watch.

@matt

Interesting. This was a smash blockbuster hit when it came out in 1987 ($320 million worldwide). Audiences loved it. Farthest thing from boring. I guess mileage varies.

@brianstorms Yeah, I hoped for more, but I don’t think it’s aged well. More recent audience reviews seem a lot more middling, but I definitely seem to find it worse than the average person.
@matt Would love to hear more about the characters under and over served.
@lance For me, I think the women in the movie were pretty inconsequential in ways that are pretty typical of "great man" movies, which was a shame. Maybe there's more that I missed, but that was my impression on first viewing.
@matt Could it be the women being underserved in a Nolan movie? Shocking! 🤦
@matt Going to watch the sequel now? 👹
@matt I was terrified of the Nun after watching The Conjuring 2, but this movie completely ruined the horror for me. It was good when it was mysterious, then it got "monster-scary” and bleh
@matt See you then.
@keenan So freaking good!
@matt I know. I’d been dying to watch it, and I’m so glad I finally did.
@keenan Hell yeah! It was your review that made me go “just watch it, Matt, you’re going to love it”
@matt what a perfectly devastating movie. So glad you liked it!
