Countdown - 8/10

It was a fun sort of horror flick. Not particularly scary, but it was entertaining. I was a little annoyed when, for plot reasons, they had a character do something completely idiotic that there is no way they would do. But I sort of forgave them for it, because it led to a much more interesting ending. I just wish they could have gotten there without doing some stupid cheap plot point that made no sense.

 

Specifics, if anybody doesn't care about spoilers:

Spoiler

Toward the end of the movie, they put together a plan to stop the demon. They test it out, and it's totally working. They're literally like less than a minute away from destroying the demon and saving everyone's life, and all they have to do is stay inside this salt circle.

And then this dude sees his dead little brother, who he should absolutely know is not actually his brother but is just the demon, and he steps outside of the circle to follow him.

It's so idiotic. He already knows the demon impersonates dead people to trick them. And he knows that this whole mess is about to be over if he just stays inside the circle for one more minute. But instead, he acts like a complete moron and steps outside the circle, gets himself killed and almost gets two other people killed in the process, as well as ruining their whole plan to stop the demon. The plan that they knew was working, because they had confirmation that it was going to work.

I can't stand it when movies make their characters do super stupid stuff just because they need something to happen in the plot. As a writer, it makes me angry, because it's just so freaking lazy. They could have taken some time to come up with another reason why the plan didn't work, but they just went with the easy way out, even though it made their character an idiot and made no sense.

 

Don't Worry Darling- 10/10

Absolutely fantastic! I've been so stoked for this movie ever since I saw the first trailer. I absolutely love Florence Pugh. She's a great actress. I was sold, like, ten seconds into the trailer, so I didn't even watch the whole thing. Just got home from seeing the movie, and it totally lived up to my high expectations.

Harry Styles was also really great. I've never seen him in any acting roles, so I was surprised to see him playing a lead role in such a big film. He did great.

 

Also, in case anyone is interested in this film, I will say that I was actually really pleasantly surprised with how little sexual content there was. I was a little concerned it could easily go into full nude sex scenes or something, but it didn't. I'll list all of the potentially triggering stuff I can recall in a spoiler below, so people can be prepared.

Spoiler

- There are, I believe, only two "sex scenes" in the film. They are a bit racy, but completely covered, as both characters involved remain fully clothed the entire time. They're also quite brief.

- The only actual nudity in the film is a very, very brief flash of a stripper's top-half, who is just wearing tassles. But it's seriously like a one-second shot, and then it's over. My husband didn't even notice it.

- The only other thing I can think of is that sometimes the main character wears pajamas that are a bit thin, with no bra. A woman also goes topless by the pool, but we only see her bare back from behind.

 

38 percent on Rotten Tomatoes? Well......

 

First of all... it's my opinion. Idk why you have to be a dick about it.

Second of all, you do realize that rotten tomatoes is not the gospel, right? I almost never agree with rotten tomatoes ratings. If you want to choose movies based on what rotten tomatoes says, go for it. But there's zero reason to be a jerk about it to me on this thread.

Geez louise. Way to make me not want to participate in your thread anymore, if this is how you're going to respond to people sharing their opinion.

 

There are no rules that work for everybody the same way. I watch rated R movies all the time. Lots of movies are R rated for violence or language, not sex. And not everybody is in a position of needing to avoid every potential trigger. But some are, and that's fine, which is why I shared that information in case anyone is interested.

 

Blade 2 - 6/10

Good fight choreography but the setting was no where near as good as the original. The characters also pretty unlikable.

 

Route 666
7/10

This is a bad movie I cannot deny that but in my honest opinion it is a movie that is so bad that it is actually great. Lou Diamond Phillips did a great job as playing agent Jack La Roca. Steven Williams also did a great job playing as Fred "Rabbit" Smith.

 

Friday the 13th part 1
7.9/10
An absoulute classic slasher film.

 

Can't go wrong with part 2 and 3.
