Avengers: Infinity War - 8.5/10
First Time Viewings:
Shazam! (2019) - Theatres
Thoroughly enjoyed this entry. Loved the balanced tone and the way they handled the story in a brighter light. Zach Levi had a lot of heart put into the character and Mark Strong is also a badass villain, though I didn’t know his name until I had to look it up. Anyway, second best of the DCEU. Can’t wait for Black Adam!
8/10
Glass (2019) - Stream
Weakest of the trilogy but it is still pretty decent. I understand what Shyamalan wanted to do instead of the cliche superhero movie tropes and it still stays intone with the previous two installments. The performances (especially from the main 3) are great, McAvoy being once again the show-stealer here.
7/10
Taxi Driver (1976) - Stream
Finally got to see this after all this time, and yeah, it’s pretty damn good. One of De Niro’s absolute best performances and it has a great story with powerful themes. Plus it’s filled with iconic moments that aren’t hard to forget. Overall, a fine experience, and probably one of those movies that would get better on repeat.
8/10
Vampires (1998) - Netflix
I am aware that you hate this movie but I was still interested in it being a pretty solid Carpenter fan. It was alright. From what I’ve seen this isn’t the best vampire film nor the best from JC, but it’s cheesy OTT fun.
7/10
April Fool’s Day (1986) - Stream
With a title like this it’s fairly predictable (I was spoiled by the ending but I bet if I didn’t know I’d still predict it) for a slasher but it was pretty interesting that it was different. Should’ve been PG-13 honestly.
7/10
Full Metal Jacket (1987) - Stream
Jesus, the first third or half is amazing! In fact if it were extended longer and cut it would be one of the greatest war movies ever made. But the second half doesn’t quite live up, although it’s not all bad. Just wished we got to see more of RLE who was in it less than expected.
7.5/10
Repeat Viewings:
American Psycho (2000) - Netflix
This is a cleverly made psychological slasher and it’s probably Christian Bale’s best performance (and that’s taking Batman into consideration). The rest of the cast is also great.
8/10
Tremors (1990) - DVD
