Matt BirchlerMovie #33: Challengers
Honestly great weekend for movies for me.
Movie #39: The Last Stop in Yuma County
Regular reminder that the reviews in this thread are created with https://quickreviews.app 
Movie #40: Madame Web
Reminder that I don’t believe in “I know it’s a bad movie but…”
I had fun, but I totally see why if it doesn’t click, you’re gonna hate it.
Movie #55: In a Violent Nature

Movie #68: The Instigators
It’s like every actor asked “what’s my motivation” and they were told “I don’t know, the script says you do it, so just roll with it.”
Movie #70: The Abyss
And thus completes my Cameron list of shame…well, besides Piranha II, but I'm not holding myself to that 😂
Movie #71: Detained
I guess it's nice that this job probably made a few people eligible for health insurance for the year 😬
Movie #86: Batman: The Long Halloween
FWIW this was released in 2 parts, and this is a review of them together.
Movie #92: V/H/S/2
A real contender for worst movie I've watched this year, save for 30 minutes in the middle which is some of the best horror you can get.
Granneman 😡@matt The Indonesian one is amazing. I thought Slumber Party Alien Abduction was good until the bit at the end with the poor dog. That ruined it for me.
Torb@matt The cool thing about the Matrix movies that each are different genress: The Matrix - Sci-fi action thriller Reloaded - Sci-fi action superhero(?) movie Revolutions - Sci-fi war movie Ressurections - Sci-fi romantic comedy (that’s both romantic and a comedy).
Ressurections genre change is more abrupt than the others (it’s not really action anymore), but I really love that one too. They’re my favourite movie series of all time.
@torb For sure! I think all 3 sequels are better than many give them credit for, and the ideas in each are brilliant, I just don't think they ever reached the heights of ideas + execution that they nailed in the first.
But I totally love the series too!
Steven Op de beeck@matt you saw it again, right?
Christopher Lawley@matt It’s like you hate me or something.
I actually agree with your rating, you just used a dirty word in it. 😜
Niléane@ChrisLawley @matt please dads stop fighting
@ChrisLawley @nileane I can’t help if this movie was a serious…mood…is that any better? 😅
Tim Chaten@matt in my queue now!
Tymur Yarosh@matt You might also like https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3083016/
Rodrigo Araújo@matt I really liked it!
What did you think about the final dialog? I was discussing with some friends whether that was *the* correct recollection or just another crazy theory like the ones we saw Clooney’s character create during the movie.

@rmaraujo You know I hadn’t really thought about it that way. I had assumed it was all very real, but I’ll noodle on it a bit now.
@matt One of your favorite Apple TV movies then? Can think of just a few obvious ones above it?
@tchaten Might be the first I’ve enjoyed at all 😅
Haven’t seen Coda, but yeah, finally!
David Sheneman@matt my wife and I watched it last night. I laughed out loud so many times. Such great writing and directing, both by Jon Watts. Very creative and fun!
@matt WHAT THE FUCK MATT?? Seriously? Again?
BenRiceM@matt is this streaming already?
Juan C. Fernandez
A random selection@matt what app is this? Looks lovely.
@arandomselection It’s my own creation 😊 https://quickreviews.app
@matt oh wow! It’s beautiful!
Maximilian@matt I was disappointed. Too many plots that ultimately didn't matter, which can be fine in a "return to" movie, if its fun though. Didn't feel like any plot really mattered in the end, and I couldn't buy the actors as their characters.
Ravi 
@matt You mean prequel! 😉
@matt on my list now! There is another movie in the same world - I hear not as good - https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/caveat/umc.cmc.16muyco412y71h5o5zk9k5u6d
@matt have you seen Strange Darling? It’s really good!
@matt FINALLY! A movie we can agree on.
@ChrisLawley They said it would never happen! 😂
Jason Snell@matt oh Matt this is going to be bad for our relationship
Greg Pierce@matt Is this a straight remake of his old movie? It was so great.
@agiletortoise I haven't seen the original, but unless the original took place in France then probably not...
@matt Sounds like mostly “yes”, with some updates. Of course, the plot is hardly the most interesting part of a good Woo film, so I don’t know how much it matters. I love the original. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/23/movies/the-killer-review.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
@matt Loved this one! Glad it clicked with you even with the decent rating! Did the end credits stinger give you a good laugh?
@tchaten Sorta, although that guy was one of the people who I was like “NO ONE WOULD DO ANYTHING LIKE THIS” so it was dulled a bit 😂
@matt Ah … I am the kind of viewer that buys all into the world setup and goes along with what ride is in store and the decision making of the characters didn’t bother me at all for this one because everything else was so perfect to me
