Last post by indianasmith - Today at 11:07:40 AMThis guy offers quick reviews of both horror movies and B-movies, and I love the series he's recently been posting: "I Didn't Say This Movie was Good, I Said I Liked It!"
He's reviewed a dozen or more bad shark movies as well as modern bad movie classics like CRACKCOON.
If you are on Insta, I highly recommend giving him a follow!

Good Movies / Re: Project Hail Mary (2026)
Last post by Zapranoth - June 15, 2026, 11:08:57 PMGood to see you, serpent!
The book is really well done. Yeah, the protagonist is smart-alecky. They kept the tone the same for the movie, and that's not gonna work for everyone. But for this kind of weird mixture of sweet and horror (the type of impersonal horror of much of humanity dying off-screen).
Do you have to suspend your disbelief at times? Oh, ya. It's a Hail Mary after all.
Do you have to suspend your disbelief as much as, say, Ator flying a hang glider in Cave Dwellers? Naw.

Good Movies / Re: Recent theatrical viewings
Last post by Jim H - June 15, 2026, 10:28:49 PMSaw The Furious. If you like martial arts action films, this is a must see, some of the most intricate and well performed fight scenes ever made. The story and character work, not so much. This is actually an issue I've had with a number of really well choreographed martial arts films coming from Southeast Asia and Japan lately. They'll try to be serious and grim with the story or just really thin and it ends up working worse than if they'd just focused on the basics of storytelling. I don't need GREAT storytelling it just needs basic competence, not be boring, and not annoy me.
Like, for an easy comparison, watch Drunken Master II. Jackie Chan is affable, likable, has moments of melodrama, and has a simple but clear arc and the characters have a clear goal you want them to get to but it's not TOO serious for something so goofy. Where are any of the characters in the Furious going as characters? I guess the mute lead has a tiny bit going on, but not much. The villains motivation is cartoonishly evil and vile, in fact it's too much for something they don't have the skills or interest to fully weigh on the audience. The villains are paper thin and the main one has all his dialogue in English and it's all awful, and he doesn't even meet the leads until the last 20 minutes. The film also has a significant slow patch that should have been trimmed about the time of the rescue and before the jail sequence.
One exception is Brian Le's dimwitted thug, who is genuinely one of my favorite second tier bad guys in any martial arts films. Incredible performance physically (he says the character is partially modeled on Donkey Kong, and I believe him), and just a highly entertaining character.
I probably sound pretty negative, but that's because the fight scenes are so stellar and intricate it's hard to even discuss them the next day. I'd have to rewatch them to really discuss them much. Just, they're so damn good the film is well worth watching anyway. Overall 8/10.
