Welcome back to another week of the BEST & WORST edition of 'what movies did you see last week?' thread. For those who haven't been part of it before, basically your host (me) posts my weekly movies and you can comment on those and list your movie for the same time frame. I will get back to you on yours and you can talk to other users here about their films. It's a great place to talk about film.
FIRST TIME MOVIE VIEWING
Dark Waters (2019, Todd Haynes)
Netflix
Another depressing true tale of the horrible American system. It is a good foreboding movie.
7/10
Venom 2: Let there be Carnage (2021, Andy Serkis)
This was pretty bad but Tom Hardy is fun to watch. The effects are pretty bad, Woody Harrelson is bad as the villain and the story is pretty ho hum.
4.5/10
REPEAT MOVIE VIEWING
Black Rain (1989, Ridley Scott)
blu ray
Seven years after Blade Runner, Ridley Scott made this thriller that is visually the most comparable from the rest of his work.
7.5/10
FIRST TIME TV VIEWING
The White Lotus (2021, Season One)
Fun, quirky series about a group of guests at a resort in Hawaii over one week.
Good TV

Black Rain - 5/10
Mine:
Injustice (2021) - 6/10
Pretty entertaining DC film. Flawed but likable.
Pig (2021) - 4/10
OK pig abduction film with Nicolas Cage giving a strong performance.
2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus (2021) - 1/10
A group of religious renegades challenge the communist government. One of the dumbest and overall worst films I have ever seen.
Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (2018) - 5/10
Turn of the century DC film. Its OK.
The Addams Family (1991) - 9/10
Stylish and very fun film adaption.
Wicked Blood (2014) - 5/10
Alright film about a family of drug runners.
Abandoned (2010) - 6/10
Predictable but entertaining hospital set thriller. One of Brittany Murphys last roles.
The Girl Is in Trouble (2015) - 3/10
Spike Lee produced drama.
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For (2014) - 5/10
OK follow up to the 2005 film. Nice looking though.
The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain (1995) - 3/10
Pretty dull Hugh Grant movie.

You haven't seen Night of the Iguana? No. As you can tell, I'd recommend it. Strong performances all around and interesting characters. Apparently I really like movies based on Tennessee Williams.
