Hi, hope you had fun on your trip! I did not watch much either:
Melancholia (2011) This movie has a lot of things going for it but lacks a little something I would call edginess or sharpness. I wanted to be moved, I wanted to be shocked, I wanted the story to throw me and cut me, I wanted it all but the script prevented me from reaching the ultimate goal. Beautiful, well-acted, captivating but just misses that spark of greatness. 6.5-7/10
Summer of 84 (2018 DVD): I bought this movie without hesitation when I saw who made it but just like my boy Damo, I was slightly disappointed. The story build up is very long, 1h20 minutes to be exact. Practically nothing major or exciting happens before the last 30 minutes and even then, it was nothing spectacular. Overall, solid on all the other aspects but does not bring much novelty to the table. 6.5/10
Journey to the center of the earth (2008 Blu-ray): I also wanted to buy a movie for my kids when I went to the used movies store and picked this one. To my surprise, I found 3 3D glasses inside the case and it was my first experience watching a 3D movie in the comfort of my home and I LOVED it!!! My boys did too. So 8/10 for the experience and 6/10 for the actual movie.
The Good Place S2: The first two episodes were perfect and then it loses its grip a bit but overall another fun, colorful and imaginative ride. 8/10
I watched the first 4 episodes of American Horror Story: Asylum and I really enjoy the acting, the atmosphere and the story. I would round it up to a 8/10 also.
