Rate The Last Movie You Saw

She won't win the Oscar, but she definitely deserved the nomination...

Paris Belongs to Us - 7/10
First off, I went into this not knowing anything more than the title and the year it was released... I went on my Watchlist and wanted something French from around 1960.. Not knowing this was a mystery, I wasn't paying extra attention, and my mind tended to drift along with the themes. I haven't seen a good mystery in about 20 years, when I saw "The Usual Suspects"... This was filmed in 1958, and it was funny hearing a background conversation in English, where a guy says, "I don't think Nixon is experienced enough. He's not independent. He's not likable" (with inaudible stuff in between), which is ironic, considering it was the knock on JFK (and his youth, also ironic considering that Nixon was only four years older).

Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

Leone's western format brought to perfection.

Widows 2018


Best film of the year, the Academy is a joke!

Sorry To Bother You (2018)


Wouldn't decribe it as hilarious but certainly had its moments. I could watch both Stanfield (best caracter in Atlanta) and Tessa Thompson all day long and Hammer as well was great in his role. I'd heard there was some madness towards the end but still wasnt prepared for that! After doing a bit more reading up on it last night, I'm rating it higher.

Polar (2019)

Like if drunken Guy Ritchie had made John Wick and then let her daughter adjust the colors. Actually that sounds lot more fun than Polar ever was.

After Cape Fear I thought: wow, now I need to watch another good movie:


★★

Dumb choice!

Glass - Had the marketing team done a better job and not given away the entire film in the trailer and had this not been falsely made into an IMAX film this might have been a 4 star movie. You've got 5 or 6 really good scenes in this film but it fails to come together as a cohesive piece of film-making.

1. The Sixth Sense
2. Split
3. Unbreakable
4. Signs
5. Glass
6. The Visit

Free Solo


This is about guys that climb mountains without ropes, and rather than just go general the focus is one one climber (Alex) and one climb. Alex is clearly on the "spectrum" but the film encapsulates his life so well and the people around him that it's not just about the climb, the human story works as well.

My fav Lynch's movieOr rather the only one I like from this director

The Saw series was done to death and the revival is dead on arrival. Not a single sympathetic character, surprise reveal or gruesomely awesome death in the flick (save for maybe the final one). Jigsaw needs to be put to rest for good.

Suspect's Reviews

Earth vs The Spider [aka The Spider] (Bert I. Gordon, 1958)
It's certainly no tangled web of intrigue but I spied a little entertainment in it

Olivia Colman was great! But that fisheye lens was ****ing awful.

Fist of Fury (1972, Lo Wei)

Overrated. Awesome fight scenes, but the rest of the movie, frankly, sucked. Poorly written and directed, some awfully cheesy/boring scenes and stilted, over the top acting (ugh, that romantic scene...). Don't get me wrong, I think Bruce Lee is a great icon and amazing athlete but none of his movies have struck me as outstanding pieces of filmmaking. Having recently revisited a bunch of Jackie Chan movies, as well as the Fist of Legend with Jet Li, I can safely say I enjoy them a lot more.

Regina King will finally win the Oscar she's been chasing since Jerry Maguire...

You've burned your number #1 fan. I'm team Suspect now.
