My first movie of the year is Don’t Look Up. Meh.

[image] DrewC: I’m going to watch ‘New Mutants’ tonight because I have a morbid interest in train-wreck films that had tortured development/production cycles. Wish me luck! (A lot of train-wreck films on Disney Plus) Saw it. Not sure why it got such awful reviews. It’s not great, but it was d…

Saw Nightmare Alley, starting Hollywood. Garbage imo. Just stupid noises and bad, very bad acting.

[image] tango42: Nightmare Alley was quite good, unexpected, suspenseful mystery great twist at end kept me interested, what goes around comes around :slight_smile: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7740496/ I saw it recently and liked it. I think the first half was stronger than the second half …

Watched ‘Predator’ (1987) again for the first time in years. I’ve been revisiting Arnie action classics. This was still pretty fun, but I enjoyed my rewatch of ‘Terminator’ (1984) more. To me this is really the only entry in the franchise that counts for me (yes, I’m even including ‘Predator 2’ in t…
