Rate the Last Movie You Saw

Finally got around to watching the new Dune. I liked it well enough. Important parts seemed rushed, and unimportant parts seem drawn out, and I had trouble connecting with anyone. Since this thread is for ranking movies I will say 3 out of 5 stars.

It didn't leave me wanting more or an intense desire to see the next release in the theater.

LOL. Sounds like a watch for one of those days.

Yeah, you're not missing much.  It might be good for a rainy Saturday with nothing else on.

I hadn't see this one but you just confirmed my gut feeling about it.

Watched Gran Turismo this weekend. The real-life story of taking an avid Gran Turismo player and turning them into a real race car driver is such an interesting idea, unfortunately the script is about as paint-by-numbers as possible. Archie Madekwe does a solid job in the lead and David Harbour is completely in his element as the grizzled, ever-doubtful vet who is tasked with leading his driver to victory, but the movie is just rather bland and mediocre.

The last of the trilogy, MAXXXINE, is finished, but I don't think they've set a release date yet. Really looking forward to it, especially after Mia Goth's performance in PEARL. If the Oscars didn't hate Horror, she should have at LEAST been nominated. She was outstanding.

I've kinda been holding off on PEARL until MAXXINE comes out so I can watch all three in short time span. I'm rethinking that because this discussion has reignited that itch to see PEARL. Unfortunately, an Oscar nominations for horror will probably never happen in any significant way and sustained way. I thought for sure that the Academy would have to acknowledge Toni Collette's powerhouse of a performance in HEREDITARY. How that performance did not get all the nominations just completely baffles me.

I've heard that sentiment a lot. I still need to check it out.

X

Graphic, violent, and disturbing. A gore fest and terrifyingly, sickeningly, fantastic.Â

I'm not going to rate this one but feel this was a pretty darn good movie.

I'm not much of a slasher fan, but I really enjoyed X.

 If you liked X, make sure to watch the prequel, PEARL, which, IMO, was a much better film.

Cool. I will keep an eye out for it. Thank you.

The Block Island Sound. 3/5


Decent movie drawn out a little much. The use of ominous music was nice but overused, premise is solid, there is a lack of character development, but overall it was effective at keeping me entertained/interested.

I wish I could say more however I don't want to give anything away for those interested.

The Borderland/Final Prayer. 3.5/5

Solid found footage movie with a bit of an odd ending. The whole thing kept my interest, lightly touched on some elements which are creepy, and overall worth a watch. I will say that I'm not sure they managed to make the entire thing coherent but they gave it a good go.

 

You seem to recently be hitting all the movies that have been on my radar.  I'm kind of a  sucker for a decent found footage flick and this has been on my list for a while. Reviews, overall, seem to be middling, as is yours, but I still need to check it out. 

By the way, how did you watch this?
