Prometheus: Yeah...6/10
Maps to the stars (2014 Blu-ray): Courtesy of David Cronenberg and Bruce Wagner, this ‘’ fiercely original twisted Hollywood fairy tale’’ was not an easy watch, just like any other Cronenberg film but in the end, this one left a solid impression on me. Not the type of movie I would recommend but personally, I liked it and will surely revisit it someday. 7/10
Errementari (2017 Netflix): I really enjoyed this cool movie. It IS really good. Apostle had a credible world but characters I didn’t care for, Errementari had a fable world but the characters were highly likeable. The little girl was such an endearing character and the actress was great. Oh and I think watching it in its original language just added to the experience. 8/10
Happy Death Day (2017 DVD): Scream + groundhog’s day = fun movie. Nothing jaw dropping but entertaining enough. 6.5/10
Devil’s knot (2013 TV): “The savage murders of three young children sparks a controversial trial of three teenagers accused of killing the kids as part of a Satanic ritual.” This true-story court-drama was quite good and the story itself is very interesting. I think the makers of the film balanced both side of the story with skills and I truly felt the confusion. Now I want to see the documentary Paradise Lost 3. 7.5/10
AHS: Murder House (S1): I found that all the actors that came back for Asylum had weaker roles in this season (I watched season 2 before season 1) so my favorite actors were actually the mom and the daughter. Lily Rabe was still very good in this one but we did not get to see enough of her character. There was a few memorable moments spread out through the season but I found it mostly good but not great. Best Line of The Show: ‘’ I’d rather rot in hel than bury you in the same grave as your lover.” Ha! 7/10
The Key Master (2009 TV) : “ To save his best friend, Louis-Bernard Lapointe has to transport himself to a parallel world to find the 'Key of Possibilities', a magical and legendary object that allow his user to visit an infinite numbers of universes where everything is possible.” My hat’s off to my fellow Quebecers on that one as they mastered a complicated and risky subject. It looked great and Marc Messier is always a safe bet, we love him here in Quebec. Good movie. My rating: 7-7.5/10
Tom at the farm (2013 TV): “A grieving man meets his lover's family, who were not aware of their son's sexual orientation.” This movie had 8 nominations at the Canadian Screen Awards and received many praises. Although I agree with most arguments of the bad reviews, I still enjoyed it on some levels. 6/10
Apostle (2018 Netflix): Pros: Direction, cinematography, settings, score, atmosphere, violence. Cons: Characters, plot, length. The first 40 minutes were especially boring but the last 40 minutes made up for it. 6/10
The Endless (2018 Netflix): The metascore of 80 got me curious about this one and I liked it, not crazy about it, but I liked it. Im not sure what was the point of the movie though. Was it just a simple and pleasant sci-fi twist on the subject of cults or was it a message conveying mystery that’s supposed to bring me to some reflection about life? Anyhow, my rating: 6.5/10 (Random Fact: In 2018 I watched the Documentary about the Baghwan (cult leader) and this was my fifth movie about cults.)
