Rebecca looks interesting.
I saw Cop land at the theatre and need to see it again but although I can't consider it a classic it has a formidable cast and i remember liking it.
Ginger Snaps as been recommended to me on another site. Will check it out for sure.
Mine:
Rear window (1954 TV): Right off the bat I noticed that things weren’t right with this building complex; there was people sleeping outside on the balcony, a lady that can hear another man planting some flowers in the distance, a birdcage outside a window, an aging man refusing the company of a beautiful kind lady... idk, something looked “off”. Then I realized that it’s not the building complex that was the problem but the actual movie itself. I mean, it’s not a bad movie, but let me tear it apart for you die hard Hitchcock fans; there is a man spying a suspect with a long focus lense camera but he does not take a single picture. The same man has a leg in a full cast and hits the wall with it and didn’t even winced. Another ageing man says goodbye to his friend because he wants to go home and sleep but ends up going out for dinner and night clubbing with his wife... I mean not much made sense. There’s actually not much going on except for a the gardening man putting things inside and outside of a suitcase and a likeable dog that dies. I actually fell asleep twice but fortunately Stella was there to wake me from my coma. Stella stole every scene she was in. Even Grace Kelly’s beauty couldn’t surpass her confidence. Overall, this old ass movie is entertaining enough for one viewing but Disturbia has more rewatch value. Honest word. And one final thing, the “turn off the lights he’s seen us!” was the most stupid idea. My favorite line: “I don’t want any part of her”. My rating: 7/10 (mainly for Stella... man do I want me a Stella)
Puppet master (1989 DVD): This is one of those movies that crossed my path a few dozens of times in my life and I was always curious about it but never looked into it further more. I hadn’t even seen the trailer, just thought the VHS cover looked cool at the video store . I’m glad I didn’t watch it as a kid because after the first 10 minutes I was already feeling all weird, creeped out and kind of scared. The characters involved were all rather unattractive, and I don’t necessarily mean physically. So the story was meh, but fortunately, I laughed a few times and the figurines were fun and well made. The kills were also meh and lacked gore. Not worth my 10$. My rating: 5.5/10
Hubi Halloween (2020 Netflix): Not super funny and there is a bit too much of Adam Sandler screaming like a fool for my taste as he plays yet another semi-retarded character but at least this time it’s to convey a clear and right in your face message against bullying. Now where this stupid movie really won me over was with its powerful Halloween vibe, with one of the coolest decorated neighbourhood ever and the cast is filled with all the actors we love to see in theses Happy Madison movies. They all added grandly to Sandler’s below average performance. My rating: 6/10
The king of comedy (1983 DVD): knocked another big title off of my watchlist. After 13 minutes I knew I was going to enjoy this movie. The question was; am I gonna like it or am I gonna love it? Each minute that passed by made me like it a little more so yeah I am literally fond of this movie. At the 30 minute mark, when he’s debating with the groupie girl on the sidewalk in the middle of all the people, I knew right there that this was a masterpiece. Plus, two minutes after he’s getting yelled at by his mom and she tells him to lower the volume and at that point I had to jump for the control because my volume was at 45 and I had to bring it down at 30. Real talk, that was real talk. De Niro’s character’s delusion brought back vibes from The Fan. It should be the other way around but I’m a 90’s kid. This one here is more of a close up look inside the mind of a man trying to keep his pride through his madness and fantasies. My rating: 9/10
#alive (2020 Netflix):This is yet another very good South Korean horror flick. Great cinematography, solid acting, interesting story. It’s never really gore but it is brutal and bloody. Here are the 3 places where it lost points with me: (spoilers) it took too long before he tried to sneak in another appartement for food, he tried to suicide first. Then there is that stupid jump scare scene that doesn’t make sense cuz these zombies grunt and make noises all the time so no way this one was silently hiding all this time. Finally, I would’ve preferred the ending to take the sinister route and not the glorious feel-good one. My rating: 7.5/10
Rear window (1954 TV): sits around 10 or 11 in my Hitchcocks 8/10 im surprised you rated it so high based on your comments
The king of comedy (1983 DVD) in my top 30 and my 2nd favourite from Scorsese 9/10
