Hi Dark!
I had no interest in THe Favourite but after watching the trailer I think I might watch it.
I own Youth without youth but never saw it.
I started the first episode of Titans to see what it looked like and added it to my list.
Mine:
Last week:
SubUrbia (1996 DVD): This is not a masterpiece but to me it’s not just a movie either. It’s a feeling, an emotion. It’s a slice of my life, a memory, a familiar sound, familiar surroundings. It’s life’s problems and life’s solutions. It’s alternative-rock, it’s Ribisi, it’s me, it’S her, it’S him. It’s you. 10/10
A question of faith (2017 DVD): I like Christian movies, they make me feel good. My wife likes them even more and we both failed to enjoy this one. It lacks depth, realism and emotional impact. It felt soulless and superficial so we barely cared for what happened on screen. There were a few signs of light here and there so I’ll give it 4/10.
Puss in boots (2011 TV): Finally got around to watching this one and I knew I’d like it. It was fun, funny and makes a great family movie. 7.5/10
Workaholics Season 5: This show has always been “lots of hits and a few misses” for me but this season was more like “A few hits and a fair amount of misses”. Still, even when they miss, it’s never a total waste of time. Overall: 6.5-7/10
This week:
Upgrade (2018 DVD) : Oh yeah, another solid revenge action flick with a nice twist! I realised afterward that it was directed and written by Leigh Whannell, one of the geniuses behind the Saw franchise, so no wonder Upgrade was all very well thought of. Then we got Logan Marshall-Green, a force to be reckoned with (loved him in The invitation), which makes this an outstanding film. My rating 8/10
The Faculty (1994 DVD): I liked this movie and I think it liked me too. We had a good time together. It made itself look good and it entertained me non-stop. It even hired some cool actors to make me even happier. Can’t wait to spend another satisfying night with you, The Faculty. My rating: 7.5/10
Spider-Man (2002 DVD): From the bits and parts I had seen in the past I thought I wouldn’t like this movie but finally it wasn’t bad. My 4 year old is in his Spider-Man phase so I watched it with him and even if it’s a bit too cheesy for my taste and I don’t think Maguire is a very good actor, I still liked it. 6.5/10
Spider-Man 2 (2004 DVD): With a metascore of 83, a tomatometer of 93% and all the praises I heard about this sequel, I was anxious to see it. It was an improvement on the first one indeed but Homecoming is still my #1 and Spider-Verse my #2. This one had less cheese than the first and the action was good but I failed to see the greatness (mostly because of Maguire’s acting). My rating: 7/10
Travelers (Season 1 Netflix): A girl at work
recommended this show to me so I watched the first 4 episodes. Haven’t seen the “really fuckin’ good” parts yet but it was not bad at all.
Ep1: 6/10
Ep2: 7.5/10
Ep3: 7/10
Ep4: 7/10
