Jump scare trucks!
I liked Rachael and Gage.
Church had 4 different cat actors lol.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch

I enjoyed it but it enforces the idea that choices dont matter recognisable in every modern choices matter video game.

The Emoji Movie

Just kinda has no content at all.
It didn't feel like my friends and I had gone to see a movie.
It felt like a bunch of people staring at a screen in total silence.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2

Significantly worse than the first film. The effects look exceptionally bad. The side stories are pointless and the scenes have no cohesion. It felt like several unrelated stories smashed together to make a movie. The memes are also crap and not funny. Plus key character outcomes (Stone!) are suddenly dropped and not picked up again. Left the cinema because of the crowds and missed the mid credit scene.

Black Mirror

A show centring around technology.
I went in with no information except to skip season one. Netflix even starts you watching from season 3. There are several really good episodes and some really famous actors I'm surprised were actually in the show.

Each season minus 1 (havent seen it) has an episode I really enjoyed. My top 2 favourite episodes are probably the Bee one and the Virtual Reality Game with the guy playing Falcon in Avengers. Definitely recommend and the Christmas special. That one had a really great twist.

Black Summer: 1x07 The Tunnel

This show has some of the worst camera work.
It is loud, annoying and stressful with long sequences that have no point, no goal, and don't even progress the story.

one of the worst sequences is when the Korean lady, old lady and man are in the car together and they're meant to be speeding to get the zombie off but the camera is spinning, the car revving is loud, the characters are screaming and yet it looks like the car is moving like 1m/hour or not even moving.

All the sad parts of sundome.
Every anime trope.
Paper thin plot.
Poor animation.
Piggybacking off of your name.

It's "let me eat your pancreas".

Peep Show

An English show about two men in their late 30s rooming together. Both are social outcasts but pretend that they can fit in with society and probably don't really like each other that much. It's funny at times, sometimes sad, other times just SAD and so so cringey. Good in small doses and very quotable.

If our feet touch, we fuck, obviously.

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions

Growing up, I used to watch Yugioh on the TV before school. So many people have memories of shows like that and nostalgia blurs the vision and coming back you realise how bad the shows actually were. Well, I actually thought this movie was really great as far as anime movies go. It's both better than One Piece: Gold and Boruto: The Movie. The english voice cast was top notch, same actors from the series, and the animation/visual detail was incredible, much higher quality than all previous movies and the anime series itself. The movie was so funny, I think it was parodying itself at times. Seto was way more cocky than before, and there were so many funny dialogue lines by Yugi and Joey. I definitely think it's worth a watch, a really great movie overall.

Dead Rising: Watchtower

The movie doesn't really explain that previously there was a zombie attack and everyone bitten has to shoot up Zombrex to keep the virus back and stop from turning into a zombie. Honestly, the entire movie's story was quite hazy. You kinda get it halfway through where a reporter and a random woman bitten by a zombie kinda get a move on with it. I think the movie references parts from the video game series that would make it easier to understand for players of the game, but most of it won't make sense if you didn't play the game (like me). Without this knowledge, this is just a zombie movie with a weak story.

The First Omen

Built up the mystery really well but it really fell behind on atmosphere and was quite middling/meandering throughout. No real scares, just jump scares.

One Day

Just so tragic, a great and fun story. It's the functional version of Normal People.

I Saw the Devil

I thought this would be way better. The film you should watch instead is Dark Figure of Crime.

This is kind of like the rogue's gallery of Korean serial killers (lol), and the actions of a secret agent getting revenge...at his own pace. It was so violent and gory, but the blood splatter, flow and pooling effects were so realistic, they were amazing to watch. The sound effects as well were really good. Acting was decent, too. No one in this movie is good. I just didn't see the point of it. It's basically a serial killer slice-of-life.

The Beekeeper

This was pretty dumb. It's worse Nobody. The bee themed killing is just so stupid. It almost felt like a PSA for scammers as if the film was talking directly to them going: HEY DONT SCAM PEOPLE ITS WRONG.
The fights were alright, but the stakes weren't there because of just how insanely OP the protagonist is. I really liked the fight with the south african guy but the dialogue was so shit and memey. If you like more of the same, it's alright.

The Passenger

I thought this would be genuinely scary but it was more comedic. The dialogue sections feel like they just go on forever and tell you nothing. A 30-minute segment of the film felt like an hour and it was just rife with sexism, which was so creepy combined with the protagonist in his freaking 50s or whatever hitting on the teenaged girl. Character motivations were senseless and illogical. Ultimately a disappointment but the body horror was good.

When Evil Lurks

A lot of the movie was good, but it just had such terrible character decisions that really took away from the quality of the film. It made me really frustrated.

Bottoms

Even the serious moments were kind of goofy. I went in expecting Book Smart / Good Boys / Eighth Grade but I got like... lesbian American Pie? It was not what I expected.

Life Is Beautiful

Interesting. But not sure that I liked it.
Seyeon, wife and mother, is very little appreciated by her family. She is basically their live-in slave. They barely even talk to her. One day she receives a cancer diagnosis and decides to write a bucket list including meeting her first love, Jungwoo, who she was in a broadcast club together with.
What follows is the unravelling of Seyeon's life with her family, her teenaged years and how she met her husband and raised their kids together, told in both speaking and musical numbers.
While the songs were, at first, charming, they did become quite samey and repetitive as the movie went on, and I felt like some songs could have been cut and replaced with more character building segments. In typical Korean movie fashion, it turns the melodrama to 11 and the movie drags on in its final part. I find it unrealistic to expect us to buy a redemption arc undoing 30 years of abuse and neglect through song where her husband throws her her second party ever whilst married to him. Not sure if I recommend but it was interesting to see a Korean musical.

The Medium

All of it was pretty good up until a certain point, and then everything afterwards was not good. This had a lot of potential but the unbelievable character actions ruined it. Plus, you'd think that the shaman would be keyed up to what the bad guys would do and put more things in place to prevent people from ruining the ritual...

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

Really loved the animation style and the character relationships/drama. Unfortunately, this is the middle book of a trilogy - the story doesn't really start at all and the movie goes for more than 2 hours. What did they do with all that screen time?

It's bad. The effects weren't really that good either. The jump scares ALL failed and the character motivations sucked. There wasn't even a good resolution to the story. It really upset me.

Pretty standard film but it was kind of funny and enjoyable. Definitely was longer than I expected but I liked it. Won't be one to remember.

Silent Night, Deadly Night

This movie was so bad. I watched it on Shudder.

Billy is traumatised by the murder of his parents by a criminal dressed as Santa, that now, living at a convent with his brother, he can't stand Christmas and lashes out. After his hot-boy-glow-up moment, he begins working at a toy store with a warehouse but the lack of a Santa results in the manager asking Billy to sub in. Frozen by his trauma, Billy can barely stand to be in the suit when he suddenly witnesses his chrush, Pamela, being assaulted by her boyfriend at work. He flips and starts indiscriminately killing people.

The film's quality is so weird and inconsistent. Some scenes look like they were remastered for a digital release, then others remain so grainy and blurry. It was almost comical how often the quality changed throughout the film. The acting is pretty bad, but the gore is decent. I probably would say to don't bother with this one unless you're looking for Christmas themed horror.

Wednesday

A decent show that feels like a remix of Veronica Mars and Sabrina's Chilling Adventures. It doesn't really feature anything particularly interesting except that it fits with modern goth teens. I liked some of the parts of the show, especially the character relationships (Enid and Wednesday), but found the love triangle overdone and boring and the final conclusion of the storyline to be completely uninteresting. Throughout the show I had this underlying feeling that I was just watching emo Harry Potter.
This is a dark academia with a classical twist - unfortunately I struggled to see the comedic element of the show.

Speak No Evil

A little suspension of disbelief is required for this film.

Danish family consisting of Bjorn, Louise and Agnes visit a family they met once on a trip in Italy in their isolated home in Holland. The family acts strange, does strange things yet they tolerate it as they are guests in their home. Things become weirder and more unsettling as it goes by until a climactic, tragic finale.

I'm not really sure what the point was or if there's a lesson in this film except that you shouldn't trust people so easily.

This wasn't awful. It's a movie you think would be on Shudder.

Love and Leashes

It was pretty well-informed on the sub-dom aspect of BDSM. I did like most of the film but ultimately the neat ending with typical romantic outcome was pretty boring and the movie never really got racy enough to be exciting.. I also felt like the confession scene was kind of over the top.
