Predestination (2014)

A bit different. Fairly entertaining. Some amusing paradoxes. Hawke is solid as usual. The movie wasn't exactly life changing, but I like time traveling movies in general and have no regrets about the time spent watching it.

7/10
I LOVE Predestination, and my affection for it only grew on a rewatch. Character-driven sci-fi is a subgenre that really speaks to me.

Me too. It's a good concept and I don't think it's going away.



Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood (2019)
One of my favourite films of the past few years. I love everything about it. The story capturing the fading days of Hollywood's golden age, the end of the sixties and the moment just before the hippie dream turned sour, before the disillusionment of the 70s and the new generation of 70s filmmakers. The last taste of a world about to slip away. I love the characters: Pitt is brilliant as the rough, tough, loyal Cliff and I don't think DiCaprio has ever been better as Rick Dalton struggling to come to terms with his declining career. Margot Robbie is just this joyous, luminous, feminine presence gliding through the film. Everything about the visuals is amazing, from the cinematography to the sets, locations, costumes, cars; you're completely immersed in 1969 Los Angeles.

The film may be an acquired taste. It is long and some may find it too slow but I think the length perfectly complements the tone of the film with its gentle pacing that allows the characters to breathe and develop. The ending is controversial but I thought it was an clever twist on reality to give us a glimpse of an alternate optimistic path, a fairytale ending befitting the title, albeit with a splash of Tarantino's signature violence.

I loved spending two and a half hours immersed in this world with these characters. An exceptional film from an exceptional director. 5/5 Stars.
You made some very good points, HM, and I agree. Really enjoyed the film.






Was never too much into the series, I've watched the very first one and maybe Saw II and that was it. This movie makes me think I made the right choice.

Resident Evil (2002):
Entertaining and fun action movie. Eerie vibe throughout, cool designs for the zombies, and good action scenes.
7.5/10

Predator - 1987

Never seen this flick. Not really in my wheel house, a sort of mindless action flick. It was a lot more gorier then I was expecting. The movie is definitely dated with it's effects. I could see it being really cool in 1987, year I was born ha, but it doesn't hold up greatly. There is not much in the way of character development really. Just a Schwarzenegger vehicle, don't see much of those types of movies anymore for one movie star. It's an adequate action flick for it's time I suppose not really my jam. Could have done more with the chick I think. The predator thing was pretty cool looking when you actually see it. Some minor issues with it, but the funniest thing is when they decided to give it an evil human laugh at the end. WTF? hahaha. Literally made me laugh out loud. Anyways it's an ok film if you are into this type of movies but they don't do much for me.

101 Favorite Movies (2019)



No Safe Spaces - 2019

I had been trying to watch this movie for awhile now. Carolla is the man who tells it like it is, it's beyond me how him and Kimmel have stayed friends lol. Polar opposites of the political spectrum. I didn't know as much about Prager, I am familiar with PragerU but not extremely. However, he has an extremely good perspective having experienced the Soviet Union when he was younger.

It sort of fell short of my expectations, however I still think it is a worth wild film to watch. It has some important footage and stories in it that really need to be heard because mainstream media is purposely ignoring them to enhance their own narrative. The Evergreen and Bret Weinstein story is vital one to be heard. It foreshadowed what is in the process of happening now all over the country. There is a real problem on campuses now. The Lindsey Shepard story is important even though it was in Canada. We are, seemingly, running towards socialism and communism and that is super scary to me. Free speech is being threatened. We are going down the wrong road and the media and college campuses are pushing it. It's like the left and right have completely reversed roles from the 60s and 70s until now.

I don't know, maybe a lot of you disagree. I am very pessimistic about the road we are taking and this movie helps shine some light on these issues. Like I said it didn't quite meet my expectations. Felt a tad preachy in spots and the biggest issues it felt unfocused for a lot of it. But I still think it's an important flick to watch for some awareness.






I do love a good ol horror film, but I watched Inside recently and it shocked me. So brutal, but pretty original and clever with its concept too. Definitely would recommend it.

I loved Martyrs as well, but it felt like two different movies stitched together which was a bit disconcerting.
Yes, Inside is pretty brutal. I do feel this plot line is its own subgenre by now, post-Rosemary’s Baby. But it’s still very effective.

Agree about Martyrs, what would you say are the two separate movies?

Halloween (1978):
It was free on Roku, and I watch it every year, so I decided to do so early. What more can be said then already has. I’ll let it do the talking for itself.
10/10

An adequate action flick?... Blasphemy! Predator is an action classic, up there with the best the 80s had to offer, dripping with so much testosterone it turn boys into men and men into supermen. Great story, cool alien, awesome fight scenes, ridiculous characters; it's got it all.



Here is my top-5:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
All About Eve (1950)
Laura (1944)
Sunset Boulevard (1950)
Psycho (1960)
Retro films are really the best)



Been awhile since I've seen it and I enjoyed as far as home invasion flicks go it but, yeah, not extreme at all. I think what I liked most about it was Olivia Bonamy. As far as French Extreme, Martyrs, Inside and Frontier(s) are my favorite. High Tension... it's got some gore but that story...cheap. I don't think it's French Extreme, unless French means Belgium and I don't think it does, but Man Bites Dog is pretty solid. If you are looking for extreme Man Bites Dog is up there.
Man Bites Dog, I saw it long time ago. At the time, the term French Extremity probably didn't exist. Been so long, the movie is a bit hazy. Just remember it being a little disturbing!

I’d say a must-see for French extremity is Inside (À L’intérieur (2007)). That felt decent. Irreversible is also worth seeing, though it’s quite infamous for other reasons. I felt Martyrs had a great concept, but it was a bit under-explained and under-developed in favour of gore.
Inside is on the to-do list. Irreversible was awesome. Martyrs was just decent. Not that gory! Next up is High Tension, just don't know if the directors cut is worth it or not. Or just the regular one will give me an adequate dose of fake blood!
