finished watching Get Away 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
This could have worked as a short film, but there just isn't enough going on here to drag a movie for one and a half hours.
Anyway, I can't give Nick Frost less than 5/10. I would if I could.
finished watching Survive 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Balancing drama and killer crab attacks must be a difficult thing to do. Cloverfield managed to pull it off pretty well, Starship Troopers and even Tremors (I know those were Graboids, not Craboids (I'm not sorry)) did it by not taking themselves so seriously. This movie... just couldn't find the right tone to fit its pieces together.
Also, while the choice of natural settings and lighting are good enough to suspend my disbelief, even though it's dry soil on what's supposed to be the recently drained ocean, the sparsely staged debris is enough to remind us that we're watching a movie without enough budget to buy literal trash.
There are some cool apocalyptic shots, with lonely artificial objects contrasted with the natural landscape, and I hate to give a low score when I see that an effort was made by a small production team, but I can't recommend this movie to anyone.
finished watching Nosferatu 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Maybe, if I cared about any of the characters, I could appreciate everything this movie is excellent at. But I didn't and I couldn't.
Or maybe not, maybe I didn't care because I'm too tired of remakes and new takes and retellings and the same thing under another perspective or whatever excuse producers use this week to hide their fear of not making their ROI.
Fuck you, suits, I watched this for Eggers and Skarsgård, because I like them, because they're current, there was no need to squeeze the past yet again.
Minus too many stars because you're cowards.

finished watching Dark Angel 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Pretty bad, not gonna lie, but the 80's aesthetics give it some undeserved charm. If you only ask for neon lights and practical explosions (which look so much better than CGI fire), you might as well watch it.
And the antagonist uses a flying alien CD that kills people, so there's that too.

I don't care what anyone says, this is Peak Tom Hanks and the best Rear Window cover. Thank you, Joe Dante.

finished watching Companion
This will offend the Jordan Peterson's fanboy type, which is a plus, but seems a bit... off. Not sure if this is the right way to tackle the heavy topics this movie ends up talking about. Does it try to be feminist but fails? Does it get it right but, as a movie, it isn't that good? I don't know enough to tell.
Not rating it because I'm not sure about how many stars it should get, not because it's a zero stars flick. Also, I hate rating things.
finished watching Fight or Flight 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Sometimes fun over the top violence, with music, lots of colour and an unexpected commentary about Big Tech's power and our supply chain. I liked it better than Bullet Train and a lot more than Snakes on a Plane.
finished watching 满江红 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
Drags through too many clever twists and turns, but the ending makes up for the overly long runtime.

finished watching Point Nemo 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Este bodrio hace que Lost se remueva en su tumba, y mira que si a mí me pones un monstruo o una isla con escotillas herrumbrosas me conformo, que soy la clase de tolai al que debería gustarle esto, pero ni así.
Aunque me sabe mal dejar una mala opinión, porque al final estas cosas las hace gente con buena intención y que es fan de los mismos clichés que yo, lo máximo que puedo hacer es evitar enumerar y poner a caer de un burro cada aspecto que no funciona.
started watching The Studio
I had no expectations for this one, but it's making *me* feel empathy for a spineless suit whose job is to purge artistic vision from movies. Don't underestimate it, only a great show can pull that off.
finished watching Shaun of the Dead 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
finished watching The Bondsman 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Kevin Bacon uses a chainsaw to fight demons.
If you need more info, this show is not for you. If that's all you need to know to watch it, you'll enjoy it a bit more than you're expecting, it manages to find its own personality despite being highly derivative.
stopped listening The Road of Shadows 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑
finished watching The Asphyx 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Remember the movies by Roger Corman and Vincent Price based on Poe's stories? Maybe that team and some intensive rewrites could have turned the idea of this flick into a proper cult classic.
Sadly, that wasn't the case, The Asphyx has all of the cheese and none of the charm.
finished watching The Residence 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
Saw this one because of @cohanf and @welshpixie . Tnak you, I owe you a good, fun show.
