What Movie Are You Watching Now? (4463272 Views)

Dougad: 9:56pm On Jun 03

Hereditary (2018)

I watch horror movies purely for escapism. No matter how scary they get, I tend to forget about the scary sequences or events shortly after I'm done. When people tell me they watch a movie from this genre that scares them for days to the point where they are unable to sleep, I find myself scornfully judging them, especially if it's coming from an adult. But this movie hit a place that all but one other horror medium (a Netflix original series) has never hit before; I think a major reason why is that what was going on around me as I watched bore a striking resemblance to the plot itself, bar the supernatural elements of course. I also think the director Aster is a deeply disturbed human being. It's been a few days since I watched it and have only just been able to shake off the traumatic dust the movie threw at me. 9/10. Strongly Recommend!

Sinner 5/10
Black peoples won’t rate this movie as it is, yes it’s can be 5,6 or 7 but not 8 like others hyping it

What’s great about the movie?
I really enjoyed the musical mostly the lil cousin voice and the beautiful black casts also I’m in love with who plays Grace character

What’s bad about the movie?
I see black people not talking about the white vampire and it’s always the same message besides that, making the recycled plot movie 2hrs without any supernatural context till almost the end. No bloody or horrific scenes, more like a gangster film you can feel comfortable watching it at midnight, let me end it here I don’t wanna talk the Unnecessary scenes.

The final scene Is so Stupid and laughable for a supernatural movie that was supposed to be a serious one.

100% spot on with this take 👀👍🏿.

I when "Black Panther" (2018) came out and Black folks were going to cinemas wearing trad, and hyping the movie to the highest heavens, because it was supposedly the first "black superhero movie" on a major slate, only for me to actually see it, and see that it was just your normal run on the mill flick, that has enjoyed a magnanimous hype, that the film, in reality, came nowhere to matching.

That is the exact same feeling i had, after seeing this...and in a funny irony, both movies were made by the same film maker.

Now on a good day, was this a good movie? Yes, but boy the things they have said about this movie for the past 2 months or so, i genuinely struggled to see tbh...

A glorified "From Dusk till Dawn" (1996), with a little racial war on the side, was all it was...and the replay value for me at the very least, is at it's lowest ebb.

Well, I said it before. The movie could have been special if they had ebb down on the From Dusk Till Dawn Vibe. I mean, they already created a story, bit decided to silently copy themes from From Dusk Till Dawn.

They should have just focused on the brothers, and their sojourn in Chicago with Al Capone and his mafia. Would have been nicer to see this...

A beautifully shot movie, i would give it that, every frame was louvre worthy, and those IMAX cameras did wonders.

But maan, at the core of a good movie, is a good story, and this sadly tried to cramp so many stories, without success, and eventually landing no where. I was genuinely fed up by the third act.

The film didn't know whether to take a serious tone, or a comedic one. I don't even know what genre this movie falls, under, was it a musical? can't really any memorable track tbh? was it a horror flick? If that's what Ryan was going for, than it will be parody horror at best, because of the silly jokes they were cracking. Was it a racially charged drama?, they served a very little emotional back story, to be properly vested in this plot line.

They had me thinking Hailee Steinfeld was the poster girl for the flick? Meanwhile this babe was on screen for like 5 minutes,😭

The only good take away is, how beautifully shot it was , and that's the only reason, i may want to see it again.

Kingdom 2009 is a solid 8/10 for me.

This is one chinnese movie with a total package.
Plot 10/10
Action 10/10
Thrill 10/10
I was glad with the way they tell their stories, no rushing at all, they make sure you know how it started before the great battle began.

One of the things i appreciate about the movie is that there are no fillers at all.
Hollywood would have included lots of fillers and then give us the great war in part two.
Lol
I am glad that they didn't just gave us the war in reclaiming the kingdom, but they gave us every details of the war, the last battle alone took like 30 minutes of the movie and that's how it's supposed to be.
A total action package.

Where can I get it from? Checked fzmovies. Not there.
