Rate The Last Movie You Saw

Great movie. Wonderful tension. Saw it twice I loved it so much.

Yaga. Koshmar tyomnogo lesa (2020)
aka Baba Yaga: Terror of the Dark Forest

A Russian horror with typical Russian problems. As usual, it's heavily influenced by recent western productions (this time mainly IT and Dark - I'm also getting some Stranger Things vibes but I'm pretty sure I should be thinking something else, something I just can't remember now). There's quite a lot to like but the lack of original ideas and a rather weak acting weigh heavily against it. I just can't give it a higher rating while there are moments I'd like to.

A Little Romance (1979)

Tender Mercies (1983, Bruce Beresford)

A very simple, very low-key but also a very heartfelt family drama about a washed-up alcoholic country singer trying to leave his old life behind and start a new one while inevitably having to grapple with the ghosts of the past that keep haunting him. It didn't blow me away or anything but it was very good - short, sweet and to the point. Robert Duvall's beautifully understated performance in this film won him an Academy Award for Best Actor.

I love ensemble movies. I enjoyed this one.

Seduced and Abandoned (1964)

A teen deals with an unwanted pregnancy, not much of a story and even though I didn't see anything original or memorable about it, it was pretty good. I think it could've used a little more balance with it's portrayal of how women are treated by men. The director is probably a liberal feminist.

I could talk about how this is a pretty lame horror movie with tons of predictable jumpscares, paper-thin characters and the fact that they have no reason whatsoever to be carrying around their devices during a life or death situation, but first of all (1) This was made by amateurs during a pandemic in the space of twelve weeks, which is pretty impressive (Most bad horror movies would be EVEN WORSE if made in this scenario, so maybe this could've been alot better if it wasn't for the pandemic), and second of all (2) I get a thrill out of these types of horror films, no matter how poorly made they are, so my rating reflects how entertained I was.

But for real, I really wanna see one of these computer screen movies where it's just a group of friends arguing on Discord and it slowly tears their friendship apart, with no horror elements at all.
I could try and make it but my friend group is about as organized as a rubix cube in a waiting room lol.

You can’t breed two deep rollers, or their young will roll all the way down, hit, and die. Officer Starling is a deep roller, Barney. We should hope one of her parents was not.

I might have already said this before, but I also find that it holds up pretty well on a second viewing. Just a lot of details to notice in the sets and also in the performances a second time around.

I DVRed Tender Mercies from PBS over the weekend, but I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I've heard great things about this movie, so I'm looking forward to it.

I really liked this too. Duvall was great.

Night Moves (2013)

Thriller about 3 environmentalists who bomb a dam that they believe is ruining their immediate environment and the repercussions of their actions. Well plotted and paced and a bit of an open ending. Maybe a bit unrealistic in that the idealists (bar the Peter Sarsgaard character) seem terribly naive about the punishment they will receive, if caught, till after the incident. Surely they would have known the gravity of blowing up a dam!

Le Grande Bouffe (1973)






Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark (2019)

Very good movie with a lot of great moments.



Yes, I know I'm alone in this but I trully see greatness in this movie.
Emily Blunt's character was the weakest part of the first one imo (naive cop cliche that doesnt understand the war). Now, only the strong characters remains. It's all I wanted and more!



A Good Michael Bay movie!
Can't believe I just said that...haha

"Os Donos da Verdade"


Brazilian documentary about STF - Supremo Tribunal Federal -, our Supreme Court, their s**t fest and the plot against our President and people. English subtitles enable but be warned: This is the free version, so there are some publicity.

"A verdadeira história da Rota"


Mini doc about the history of ROTA, one of the Elites of our Police.

I totally agree that full appreciation of the brilliance of this film requires more than a single viewing.
