Not seen any of yours this week.
Mine:
First Time Viewings:
Braindead/Dead Alive (1992) - Online
One of Peter Jackson’s early movies that come from the horror genre. This is easily one of the goriest movies I’ve ever seen. It’s also very badly made, but I think that was the whole purpose. It’s B-movie charm at its finest.
8/10
The Hateful Eight (2015) - Netflix
QT’s most recent work (that is until Once Upon a Time in Hollywood comes out) is already an instant classic. Loved the slow burn pace which helped the story and characters. Things start slow, but it really grabs your attention in the second half.
8/10
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) - Netflix
My first experience with anything Monty Python related. Of course, it’s a comedic classic and one of the greatest parodies to have ever been made.
8/10
The Hangover Part II (2011) - Netflix
Yeah, it’s literally the same movie as the first with a few minor changes here and there, but I still ended up enjoying it anyway.
6.5/10
Superbad (2007) - Netflix
Fun teen comedy. Michael Cera and Jonah Hill have great chemistry and I even like the cops, one played by Seth Rogen.
8/10
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) - Blu-ray
It’s a well-crafted piece of art, and the visuals are stunning, although it’s a bit draggy and there are overlong scenes and shots making the movie feel very slow. However, since this is my first watch I should give it another few chances.
8/10
