Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee
I liked this.. There was another rich guy who was allowed to murder who was eventually busted for drugs I think. I wish Netflix would recommend things you liked.

I couldn't agree more and I have a story I tell people about come and see.. it's the only film that ever gave me a nightmare and I woke up literally shouting my head off.. I honestly felt depressed for about a week.
The scene (unexpected) when Florya returns to his home village will stay with me forever,
A Gray State
What a story! I'm curious what you all think about it...
WARNING: "SPOILERS" spoilers below
I've met a few people who are easily impressionable and delusional.. I think this guy got a chance, and discovered he might not be able to deliver the goods (his movie).. He volunteered for war, that's one.. He marries a Muslim woman who seems to throw it behind (notice there is none of her family interviewed or mentioned except one line), maybe his way of apologizing? I think he became more and more susceptible with every step.. He reminds me of many libertarians who seem to be overly paranoid, and who seem to emphasize most of their time on things that are irrelevant or have already passed.. Guns, religion, etc... And that "Allah Akbar" was probably a dig at his wife, and probably his desire for people to make a big issue out of it, a documentary perhaps. I also think making a movie, and then having access to Alex Jones, his audience, while also seeming to take advantage, might have also seemed to throw him closer to the edge, as well as any negative attention from strangers on social media... Add that with someone who talks libertarian, even though the family has to depend on the wife's paycheck. Another criticism would be the "Why?" question, and it didn't seem like anyone wanted to answer it.. David's father always seemed to lighten the situation, and insert his daughter-in-laws name any time David did something wrong, which seems normal for parents.

I don't grade Nausicaa as a perfect film, but it's a fun watch. I do prefer most other Miyazaki though.

Thoroughbreds
If you saw Sleuth(1972) or Deathtrap(1982) you know what you are getting here. This is sort of a cat and mouse game of two girls with borderline personality disorders in wealthy Connecticut. Anne Taylor-Joy is sort of becoming a bit of a horror icon between this, Morgan, The Witch, and Split she's portrayed 4 very different yet well defined characters.
I, Daniel Blake
When I could understand what he was fookin sayin' I liked it. I don't know if this was a classic that I heard it was going to be but for what it was it was great.
Hurricane Heist
Okay really it's 2.5 stars but I needed a pick me up after I, Daniel Blake. Hurricane Heist is in essence a Fast and Furious B plot treated like a real movie. It would not shock me if it was written as a 12 year olds fantasy of what an action film is supposed to be.
Thanks also for the pics of the two fine ladies!

Mugamoodi = Wing Chun + Superhero Movie = Pretty good, but the romantic angle was crap and the biggest flaw of the film. Lead actors Jiiva and Pooja Hegde have virtually zero chemistry and it seemed more forced. However, the savior comes in the action by Hong Kong's Tony Leung Siu-Hung, who utilized Wing Chun in the martial arts choroegraphy.
Final Rating: 2.5 out of 5
I think that I have seen that one. Is there a dance scene where some Indian midgets are sitting on a bar or table singing along? That was some campy greatness.
Tonight I saw Hereditary (2018) in the theater.
My friend and I were in the car on the way home debating how good this movie was. We both agreed that it was better than The Shining, but we couldn't agree if it was better than The Exorcist. You know how the hairs on the back of your next stand up when you are creepily frightened? Well, the hairs on the back of my neck, arms and legs were all standing up during certain parts of this movie. It is brutal, it is tense, it is stark and it is unforgiving.
Most stories follow the three Acts of a play:
Act I: Put your hero in a tree.
Act II: Set the tree on fire.
Act III: Get the hero out of the tree.
This movie plays out like this:
Act I: Put your hero in a tree.
Act II Set the tree on fire.
Act III: Set the rest of reality on fire and watch it all burn.
Note: If Toni Collette does not receive at least an Oscar nod (and very possibly the Oscar) for her role here, then she will have been robbed at gunpoint.
I cannot recommend this movie enough. 4.5/5 stars.

I don't have any time to go into it much. I thought it was an interesting story but I really didn't like the doc. It really didn't delve deep enough and just ended up feeling quite pointless, aside from the tragic incident. I found it really odd about his father and couldn't understand why he seemed so happy to talk about it?! I had never heard of this case so had no idea what was going to happen. Probably one of the most depressing endings I've experienced because of the kid.

The Life of Oharu (1952)
Had no idea this was going to be so depressing. Brilliant but so heart-breaking for Oharu, who was played breathtakingly by Tanaka. It is a long film and although its a rather cruel tale, it packs an emotional punch that still feels rewarding.

I created a thread because this is a film where I think we need to talk about it.
