"Hereditary" - starring Milly Shapiro, Toni Collette, Alex Wolff and Gabriel Byrne.

Excellent. Superb suspense and great acting in this psycho-thriller-horror-drama. Great script. Great cinematography. Great artwork. Cant say anymore, its a 9/10 for me. a must watch if you like that stuff.

I saw Solo, A Star Wars Story. It's better than i thought. I didn't hate it at least. 7/10

Michael C. Hall is awesome. I wish they'd give him another great TV series. I don't think the current one has been well received. Six Feet Under was amazing, and Dexter was for the first few Seasons. The final Season has got to be the worst thing ever made though. It still makes me mad. Worse than Lost even!

The 12th Man - incredible true story of anti+Naxi sabotage mission by Norwegian resistance during WW2. Tragedy and triumph. Very good drama action and acting. 8/10.

Who is America (Showtime) - Comedy series. by Sasha Baron Cohen. It is crazy what he got people to say. Hilarious. Silly. Unbelievable. Shocking. 8/10

The Nun - Good horror. Many jump scares. Good ending. Not as scary as Insidious or Conjouring I thought, but it is still overall good. 7/10 highly watchable.
[Off-topic] Dirk:
Hot tip, thanks! I want to watch this. I'll report back...

Great film and original idea. I enjoyed it.

I watched Sicario 2. Expected it to be a big fall off in quality compared to the original, but it was much better than i expected. A rare case of a sequel being great! The first Sicario is one of my all time favourites so this one had a lot to live up to. It looks like there's potential for a third installment, which i'm sure they have planned for. Hopefully they'll find a way to bring Emily Blunt for that. 9/10 (10/10 for the first Sicario)

Although not too recent a movie, I just finished watching "Exodus" starring Christian Bale. I was a bit disappointed. It started out pretty good but it ended up dragging out and felt more like a made-for-tv docudrama than a first run movie.

I also just re-watched "American Gangster" with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. Great movie. It was even better the second time around. I give that a 9 out of 10.

Predator (2018) - mmmm... Good movie. Some laugh out loud moments. Don't expect academy award winning CGI or acting but like The Meg it is a fun roller-coaster ride to watch. It has a different story from the original Predator movie. Some parts will remind you of some IronMan movie scenes. Overall I felt the original Predator movie was more mind blowing, maybe because it was the first, but this remake is definitely worth watching for the laughs and big action scenes. If you liked The Meg then you will especially like this fun movie.

7.5/10

Traffik - A movie about kidnap and slavery in USA. Suppose to be based on true events. Starts out like a low budget MTV music video... the supporting actress happens to look alot like Sandra Bullock.. and there is the Alex FBI guy from Prison Break in the movie who plays the Editor of the newspaper.. . so I kept watching.. gets it better and better actually with good ending. 7/10.

The Spy Who Dumped me - Starring Mila Kunis. bad script, average acting and corny jokes but great action. Seems like they were trying to compress two movies into one. But I guess the action scenes made it worthwhile in the end. watchable 6.5/10.

Black Wake - OK i like Tom Sizemore and Eric Roberts

.. but this sophomoreish movie they should not have been in it. It is made so badly with bad nonsensical script and a bad director. Avoid if you can.

2/10

Ozark - Netflix. Exceptionally well made. Some very tense moments. About a money launderer for Mexican narco crime lord. All round great acting almost all characters. Great script. It's not Breaking Bad but it's one of the best series I seen since then. Probably Jason Bateman and Laura Linney's best performances. It's not super violent but if you liked Narcos and Breaking Bad you will like this.

8.5/10

This is from the new Netflix show, Maniac. Directed by Cary Fukunaga (True Detective), and starring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill. I'm loving it so far! Would recommend.

Recently watched an Indian movie suggested by an Indian friend of mine. Really stunned by the storyline and the screenplay. Best movie I have seen in recent times. Watch and thank me later!

The movie name is Dhuruvangal 16 (English: 16 Extremes). Watch it with subtitles.

Storyline: A police officer retires after he loses his right leg in an accident while investigating a case. Five years later, he is forced to relive his past as he narrates the story to his friend's son.

Molly - Stabby, scrappy, post-apocalypse survival movie. Mad Max meets Hunger Games. Interesting and fun. 8/10

Leave No Trace - Beautifully simple Drama about a homeless Veteran and his Daughter trying to survive outside of modern society. 9/10

Hold The Dark - New Jeremy Saulnier movie. Compelling and atmospheric murder mystery set in the far North. Despite some negative reviews i think it's as good as his previous films, Blue Ruin and Green Room, which are both excellent in their own right. Best movie of the year! 10/10

I hadn't realised this was already released. I've been looking forward to it. I'll watch everything with a Fanning in it! Thought that some of their recent films were getting undeservedly negative reception. I guess that's what you get these days if you dare to act in an actual movie, rather than some comic book rubbish. The Vanishing Of Sidney Hall was much better than it's reviews suggest, as is I Think We're Alone Now. Dinklage was great!

Venom (2018) - Good movie. Some laugh out loud moments. Some silly fantastical ( fun) cgi scenes but overall CGI is good. Story is good and entertaining. Even worth a second watch later. Great cameo by Stan Lee.

Be interested in your thoughts. It seems to me that most peoples critisism stems from them not following the dialogue properly and missing important information. Hold The Dark doesn't just hand you exposition on a plate. All the plot is there in the dialogue. You just have read between the lines.

I watched it a second time and loved it just as much.

I'll have a watch of Shock and Awe. Thanks.

Apostle - Very effective Horror movie. Guaranteed to cause sleepless nights. The score is like nails on a blackboard and is very unsettling. Has that guy from Legion in it. 8/10

Searching - Father trying to find missing Daughter by looking for clues in her online world. Very compelling and i liked how it all unfolded. 8/10

Sorry To Bother You - Bizarre, funny and unique movie that goes to some very unexpected places. A Directorial debut and with a really good lead actor. 8/10

22 July - Fairly run of the mill fare that tells the story of the Norway attack carried out by Anders Breivik. I don't think there's much in the movie that people hadn't already imagined for themselves. Horrific but kinda dull too. 6/10

"Shock and Awe" is a good movie, I watched it right after "Spy Game" (with Robert Redford, Brad Pitt) , just epic.

I love Spy Game! Rewatched it again recently. It still holds up. Yesterday i watched Three Days of the Condor, which also stars Robert Redford and is again a CIA espionage thriller, albeit from the 70's. (Complete with porn music).

If you like these kinds of movies i would recommend Body Of Lies, with Leo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. And if you like Robert Redford, the survival flick, All Is Lost is a great film.

Technically brilliant, episode six was filmed using five long continuous takes, the longest being 17 minutes. It felt seamless. The cast, both young and old versions of the characters, are perfect. One of the best shows of the year. 10/10

Would also highly recommend Sharp Objects. The other contender for show of the year.

Watching Deer Hunter again today... I think I seen it over 10x times or more... always an epic.

You have to watch Blue Ruin and Green Room now. Both Jeremy Saulnier movies too.

Galveston - "Actor/director Melanie Laurent makes her English-language directing debut with Galveston, a seedy but sincere and strikingly attractive picture adapted from the novel by Nic Pizzolatto. Starring Ben Foster and Elle Fanning as strangers running together from their crimes and the powerful man (Beau Bridges) who profited from them, the 1980s-set story uses terminal illness as a catalyst, if not the ultimate cause, for redemption."

Had this one on my list for a while. Both cast and premise had me interested. It's a slow-burn Drama reminiscent of Pizzolatto's other works and an enjoyable watch. Has some intense moments. Good performances from the two leads. 8/10
[Off-topic] simonbigwave:
watched "The Deer Hunter" again. Robert DeNiro, John Cazale, Meryl Streep, Christopher Walken in a hunting, Vietnam war, PTSD, drama action thriller a classic and epic. 3 hours long of great acting and directing.

The Incredibles 2 - Generally not a fan of Pixar style animation movies but i always liked the first Incredibles. I'd heard the follow up wasn't as good, but nothing could be further from the truth. It's way better! The animation is glorious with so much detail. And it's funny. Laugh out loud funny in fact. Jack-Jack steals the show and everything single scene with him in it is hilarious. Great voice acting all round with a stellar cast. I only wish Jonathon Banks had a bigger role. 9/10

"Mad to ve normal (the story if R. D.

The best thing about this series is that when you think you can guess what's going to happen, it doesn't. I hate TV series that are entirely predictable and this one isn't.

BlacKkKlansman - One of the best Spike Lee films i've ever seen. Walks a tightrope between serious and funny. Great casting. Looks gorgeous. Watch it. 9/10
[Off-topic] simonbigwave:
Haunting of Hill House is definitely worth watching.. Probably one the best horror tv series I seen. If you liked Bates Motel you will like this also. It gets better as you go along. There are many characters in different times but after 2 episodes you know who is who a d where is when. Highly watchable.

7.8/10.

Hunter Killer - Gary oldman is great actor but not in this movie. Gerard Butler isn't great either in this one. The script is a bit corny, the CGI isn't great (it's really bad in the beginning), but this movie improves midway. Some tense moments. The action in the second half and end makes up for the boring woody actiing of the first half. Also Michael Nyqvist who plays a Russian admiral is brilliant. He really holds the second half of the movie with his acting.

If you liked The Meg you will like this. worth watching rven just for the ending. 7/10.

You can tell from the dialogue in Crimson Tide that it was pepped up a bit by Tarantino. Hackman and Denzel are great when they're together on screen.

Speaking of Man On Fire. It's been mentioned here before that the Korean movie, The Man From Nowhere is pretty much a straight up knock off, albeit a really, really good one. There's news recently that there will be a new adaptation of the Korean movie to be made soon. So really we end up with Man On Fire having been made three times!
