Just saw Furiosa at Banque Scotia IMAX yesterday. Great movie! Not as good as Fury Road, but a great addition to the lore with, again, amazing cinematography, vehicles, car chases and characters.
Watched Godzilla -1 yesterday, just my opinion but too much drama. Not a bad movie at all, great cinematography but not what I expected for a Godzilla movie. They did add English to the movie, did not have to read the subtitles. Just to add, the budget was $15 mil to make the movie, not the $200+ mil Hollywood spends

Hey guys I saw a really good horror film last night called The Watcher (2022) with well known scream queen, Maika Monroe of "It Follows" Fame. The Watcher is about a woman who moves with her boyfriend to Romania when he takes a new job there. Soon, she begins noticing a man watching her every night from his apartment in the apartment building across the street. The movie soon blurs the lines between what is paranoia, and what is reality, and blurs the lines very very expertly. All of this is also fueled by the boyfriend character and his coworkers. Although initially sympathetic, they soon begin to gaslight the tormented Maika Monroe character, who is led to question her own sanity. Monroe does a fantastic job in the film and is emerging as perhaps the top Scream Queen in the game.
Also just released on streaming is another Maika Monroe film, The Stranger (2024) in which she plays a rideshare driver who picks up a stranger in Beverly Hills, California, and ends up going on a ride that is a 12 hour NIGHTMARE FOR THE AGES. I have read absolutely fantastic reviews on The Stranger, which I hope to watch tonight or this weekend. I am also advised that AI has some role in the plot.

Recently watched "One Love", the biopic on Bob Marley on Paramount+. I loved Bob's music growing up and find his story fascinating but I think, as with most of these, the filmmakers take some dramatic liberties. Funny story about my introduction to Bob Marley. A buddy of mine invited me over one night to hang out because his wife was having a hen party and we popped 3 hits of LSD and he put the "Exodus" album on and we sat and listened to it in the dark. Holy shit, "Natural Mystic" on LSD is something else. Anyway, I digress. Sorry bout that.
Also recently watched "I Am Mother" on Netflix. Kind of a cerebral slow burn but very well made movie. Funny how the new Sci-fi genre is focussing so much on A.I. taking over and seeing all of human being's flaws and inevitable demise and deciding to take matters into their own hands. I guess it kinda started with Terminator but nowadays, there's a lot of movies out that are exploring this.
Yesterday I watched, "The Northman" on Netflix. Kind of a viking mystical tale of revenge with a good amount of blood and guts and gore. Interesting watch.

Yet another great performance by Maika Monroe, who has essentially become a Scream Queen superstar between The Watcher and The Stranger. She is at the top of her game right now.

Dark Matter (2024) (Apple+)
Not sure if this is considered a movie or tv series but it’s 9 episodes long & i found it extremely well made & entertaining. I’m becoming more & more a fan of Joel Edgerton’s work & this one doesn’t disappoint. Co-stars Jennifer Connelly who’s good in everything she appears in. I’ve become quite a fan of series produced by Apple+ like Silo, the Morning Show, Constellation & now the surprisingly very good Presumed Innocent.

Jason #2 was banging her in his own reality before he decided to cross over in Jason #1’s reality in order to take over his life after regretting abandoning the Jennifer Connelly character in order to pursue his personal ambitions.
Just watched Longlegs a couple hours ago. Without a doubt, one of the best American horror movies I've seen in a while. And one of the few I'd rewatch instantly.
Maika Monroe and Nicholas Cage both star in it. Maika gave really outstanding performances in The Watcher and in The Stranger. She is THE scream queen now.......except she doesn't seem to be playing one in Longlegs.
The Zone of Interest
Anatomy of a Fall
Same great actress in both movies.

Just watched "Nowhere" the other night. Ana Castillo with a powerful performance. Very disturbing at times and a lot of suspense but a remarkable story of survival and perserverence.

Really???
I was so disappointed! It’s not a bad movie but i felt the story was kind of rushed. Maybe i would have enjoyed it more had i seen it in a movie theatre, who knows.
I don't see how you could do a movie about Napoleon without rushing the story. Most biopics are 2-2.5 hours, you have to sacrifice something.
They should have a Netflix 8-10 Episode series to tell the full story. Rushing and compacting history is never appropriate!
The 2012 Film on Lincoln by Steven Spielberg was generally loved by critics but I was disappointed that it didn't show other aspects of Lincoln's life, including his long, distinguished and successful career as an attorney before he went into politics and eventually became President, or his very famous debates with Stephen Douglas which lifted him up into national prominence. Those debates were the start of a rich national tradition of debates in the U.S. Yet ignored by the movie!!!!! Disappointing!!!

I can’t disagree. Napoleon’s story would be better told in a miniseries. However the interest from viewers might not be there so it probably will not be made in the near future considering the production costs it would incur.
