I finally saw Black Mass yesterday. Not all that great but it wasn't bad either. 6/10. Researched Jurrasic Park and it still holds up well. 9/10. And finally, I rewatched my favourite film (or one of them), The Town. Ben Affleck, Jon Ham, Jeremy Renner etc all portrayed their characters excellently and that Boston accent is just outstanding. I highly recommend it. I hated Black Mass. JP is still a good film all of these years later. The Town is something I like quite a bit. The Town is based on a book called Prince of Theieves by Chuck Hogan. I'm reading it currently. I'd highly recommend it. |

I remember the book it was based on and always wonder how a movie would look like, well it was as you say entertaining. Reviews were mostly mixed. Some calling it a Jaws rip-off. Surprisingly, it sold well in the box office despite being a typical monster movie. I remember when the trailer was released on Facebook and YouTube, my classmate criticized the movie "There's not much of story. It's a just a big shark." Not surprisingly, The Asylum made a mockbuster of it. Posting that on the B-movie thread soon. |

Anybody got any horror suggestions? I mentioned on the previous page It Follows. It's a very good horror. |

I quite enjoyed It Follows and the original Night of the Living Dead.
Here's one: you're having a film night. What movies should yo avoid at all costs, and why?

He has this brooding, silent attitude in every role he plays. Basically a sulking teenager... and I just want to send a B41 his way to see if he'll brighten up his attitude with 25 megatons of thermonuclear sunshine. |

I like her response to trolls.  Not surprised that Trump is supporting the QAnon propagandists. Possibly not politically the wisest move to use an Israeli actress for a [Greek-] Egyptian queen. Interesting get out to vote message from the Atlanta ladies.

As usual, the populist right would call it "woke SJW" agenda. |

Cinemas remain open... just. I went to watch Saint Maud today. I thought it was a horror, sort of like The Exorcist or Carrie. It wasn't.
It had quite the ending to it, a real shocker.
