What is the best recent movie you’ve seen.

You need to watch both movies back to back smile 1 and 2, I love the first movie and how the second one starts is so amazing. I know realize i have no life this is how many movies i rated in the last 10 years on IMDB 3786 movies rated hahahha and i still find movies i did not rate every week.

Well i took your advice & last night i rewatched both movies back-to-back & omg am i glad i did! Wow! I realized that i didn’t remember 90% of the first movie & wow! What a great horror movie it is! Unbelievable acting performance by the main actress! But i took your advice & re-watched the sequel immediately afterwards & now the beginning totally makes sense! I hadn’t realized until re-watching it that the character from the opening scene is the same character at the end of the first movie! The opening sequence of the sequel rem8mded me of what they did with Casino Royale & Quantum of Solace: it’s really two movies in one! Almost like Kill Bill Vol 1 & Kill Bill Vol 2! Anyways although i said last week that i had enjoyed Smile 2 very much i ended up enjoying even more re-watching again right after having re-watched Smile!

The Guest (2014)
Just finished watching this mystery thriller starring Dan Curtis & Maika Monroe. Reason i watched it is because i’m becoming a big fan of these two actors who seem to perform in exciting movies & whose performances are A-1 everytime i see them on screen. I discovered Dan Curtis is the absolutely fantastic british tv series Downton Abbey & ever since he moved to Hollywood he seems to have a knack for chosing movie roles with great scripts. He seems to have a knack of stealing every scene he’s in. Curtis now has a long list of Hollywood movies ever since he moved to America in 2012. As for Maika Monroe i’ve recently discovered her in It Follows, Watcher & now The Guest. I really liked this movie & watched it on Prime.

Yup finish watching smile 1 back in 2022 and i was like yeah Meh, part 2 comes out i remember the cop at the end of part 1 but barely, I like Smile 2 but said mmm i am missing out, so i re watch both back to back and now it did make a lot more sense. 2 great movies.

Watcher (2022)
Suspensful movie starring my new favorite actress Maika Monroe. Young people moves to Romania & they learn that there’s a serial killer of women on the loose. Her character notices a guy always in the window across the street at night & begins to feel like she’s being followed by some strange dude & thinks he’s also the same guy she sees in the window at night. She seems to get even more paranoid as the days go by & her husband & a cop start to wonder if she’s delusional, paranoid or going insane. I really enjoyed this movie & along with Dan Stevens (another favorite actor of mine) i can’t remember a scene or movie they haven’t been great in. By the way i’m told that a sequel to the brilliant It Follows will be released in a few months. I hope that she’s in that movie also.

Carry-On (2024)
Watched this last night & loved it! Stars Taron Egerton & Jason Bateman about a TSA agent (Egerton) facing a terror crisis at an airport on Xmas Eve. Bateman plays the vilain. Since i love these type of movies anyways i absolutely loved the movie & ot reminded me a bit of Die Hard & other similar movies where a terrorist type tries to manipulate an innocent bystander in order help him accomplish his mission/terror plot. Lots of suspense, lots of action. I love pretty much everything Jason Bateman appears in so watching this movie was rather easy. Loved it!

My only problem with the summary you gave is how can you cast Jason Bateman as a villain? His whole key to his stardom is his comic acting as exemplified in Arrested Development and Ozark. Is he a villain with a dry sense of humor? Unless this is so, he doesn't seem to be playing to his strength here.

I did see this movie in my queue, but didn't realize Bateman was cast as a villain. I figured he would be the funny guy sitting across the aisle.

I consider him as a vilain in Ozark. Similar to Walter White’s character in Breaking Bad. Nice guy who turns bad when he gets involved with the drug business, loads of money coming in, power, murders, etc.
But he’s such a good actor that whatever type of role they give him he’ll be good at it.
Ever see The Gift? At first he seems like a great family man but it turns out he’s a fucking mean sociopath!
Loved his performance in The Outsider, where he plays a baseball coach accused of murdering a young kid. I just loved that miniseries. By the way i think he aced the vilain role in Carry-On. His performance is the highlight of the movie. He steals every scene he’s in!

I considered his character in Ozark to be more victim than villain, but his character never loses his sense of humor, even when being tortured. I agree that Bateman is a very talented actor. He was great in Ozark. Nobody could have played the character like he did.

The Beast Within (2024)
Horror/mystery/suspense starring Kit Harrington, Ashley Cummings & Caolling Spindall. The movie is shown from the perspective of the little girl who’s father (Harimgton) is implied to turn into a werewolf-like beast at night & is therefore brought to the middle of a nearby forrest at night until daylight. There is a major twist ending which makes you re-think the entire movie which in my opinion has made me enjoy the movie more. I liked the movie & went back to re-watch some of the key scenes afterwards.

You did not mention that the movie is on Hulu, which is kind of important, because if it is not on one of Hulu, Netflix or Prime, I can't see it. I will check it out.
