That was a very fun diversion

Had no idea what to expect going in, came out ing how important it is to live.

Cinema.

I still had fun with it, but once you're primed for the twists they have less impact

Still great!

Whatever. Amusing but would've been better as a sex comedy

I kinda liked this one!

Last minute research thanks to Abraham Castillo Flores's appearance on the ing Characters podcast

This is perhaps naive of me, but this is much meaner than I anticipated. I was thinking it'd be more of a spooky exploitation riff, but it tries pretty hard to be offensive and grimy. It's not particularly well written or acted or shot, but I feel like they mostly accomplished what they were trying to do.

I don't think it's as terrible as everyone else does, it's just not particularly interesting or well written. It's SOOOOOPER generic, but whatever, sure.

It's not bad, but I do love that we're not have multiple modern sex comedies focused on women, something I probably couldn't have said 20 years (or even 15) ago

It's fine. Aggressively low budget but they get the point across

Garret Dillahunt and Laura San Giacomo for a Lifetime movie about a deadly love triangle based on cyber seduction riddled poker chat rooms. It's great

Okay, we laughed A LOT.

There's not a lot that can make me physically cringe these days, but it happened MULTIPLE times during Bring Her Back. It's far from perfect and there's perhaps a bit too much left to the imagination in of the messy mythos, but it's an effective scare/gross out machine that I really dug.

Just a chill ass Sunday morning

Catching up with a classic Belle Trump's reality series drops

"Ohana means family"

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I really wish this was a lot more of what's on the poster. Dulls-ville

Just a little something to go with my Saturday morning coffee

I liked it a lot!

FINAL DESTINATION BLOODLINES Review: Death Is Back, And This Time He Wants Your Whole Damn Family

A successful slasher doesn’t need to reinvent the wheel, but it does need to show the audience that it knows how to drive, and Final Destination: Bloodlines puts its foot on the gas from minute one and doesn’t let up until you’ve laughed, cried, cheered, and cringed yourself silly. It’s well written, well performed, and expertly designed and any fan of the franchise will find a lot to love.

I thought this was really good but it never tipped over into greatness for me. I was enamored of the BBC 70mm IMAX presentation, just gorgeous.

Definitely need to rewatch

It's fine, I don't think it's as bad as everyone says. It's pretty bland and the camera is doing A LOT of the heavy lifting during the fight scenes, but everyone is charming enough. It moves REALLY quickly, that's a plus

More fun times with cinema

Down the dark hole we go

Easily the worst of the Final Destination series, but I ire its commitment to using 3D to poke things in my face.

I love Philomena Cunk

A roaring success on its own

RIP Val.

It's fine. Candy can only do so much

This is not a great movie, but the leads are nude for most of the film, so that's gotta count for something?

Ever wanna watch a chimp jerk off? Paradise has you covered!

This movie is a superb time capsule of how dumb the year 2000 was.

It's minor Meyer, but serves as an interesting companion to Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Watched with Misty to the time. Still not great. Kills off its best character in the first 25 minutes. Lame.

RIP Wings.

My guy Wings's it up all over the place as a drunken dad looking to take revenge on a gang on neo-Nazis who assaulted his gay son. Most of this movie is a relationship drama where Wings is getting back together with his ex-wife, Linda Blair, including a VERY long love scene with a lot of skin and no heads.

The Nazi's in this movie have a pop-art influenced clubhouse that was actually kinda neat - if it weren't for all the swastikas. It was like a fascist Keith Haring hangout.

The movie forgets that it is about a skinhead gang for about 40 minutes while Wings gets his shit together, but don't worry, he and the United Colors of Benetton solve racism with an aluminum baseball bat to the spine in the last five minutes, so it's all good!

One of the greatest films ever made

That was pretty decent! The great two thirds are a beat-for-beat remake of Tucker & Dale Vs Evil, but the third act goes in a more Evil Dead 2 direction. It's scattered AF, and the leads here do not quite capture the charisma of Tudyk and Lannie, but I chuckled a few times. Twenty years ago this might've been egg cast with Lee Byung-hun or Shin Ha-kyun in the Tudyk part and Song Kang-ho in the Labine part and THAT would've been a more interesting movie. However I do think that the supernatural subversions from the core plot do more harm than good here, and sadly the film abandons the T&DvE of it all in favor of demons as it closes out

That wasn't as bad as I was expecting after skimming a few reviews here. It's definitely slow, but it has some good moments and occasional great FX

This was just what I needed yesterday.

What a bizarre little movie

We have fun.

Ana Ortiz starts buggin' when the boy who "deflowered" her daughter, cheats on and dumps her.

Sheila E. plays a bruja who tells fortunes out of the back room of a hair salon. 

Lifetime melodrama at its finest. No notes.

Wut? And also, why?

🐓🔪🧑‍🍳👴🏼🥋🥷🏻

It's fine. There are a couple of nude orgies and some artfully terrible possession makeup, but it's not great.

Poehler and Fey are a great team, the rest of the film is filled with great actors given nothing to do

Bleh. The back half of the Shrek series REALLY falls off

The Shrek story nobody asked for.

Five stars for using both Tom Waits and Nick Cave as bar crooners. Seriously, this soundtrack was on point

Haven't watched this movie since my son was very young, at least 15 years. I'm actually shocked to discover that's it's genuinely quite good. 

The animation is pretty rudimentary, but definitely ambitious
