Just watched a movie called William from 2019.The movie portrays what it's like to be alone, and lost among another species outside your time. Add a mother who cares for him, and a father that sees him as nothing but an experiment. You can already guess how it ends. Not good. I'd give it an 8/10 at best.
Ill skip that one (tags: drama, family), but I have to suggest
Border.
This one doesn't end "not good" really.
Very slow, yet exotic, I believe you'll like it because of that William.
Spoiler: the lead pair in this one aren't experiments nor neanderthals, but you'll like that twist.
Requirement: watch it alone.
My thoughts? It had so much potential yet wasted too much of time on filler instead of dealing the fatal blow to the society. Classic drama blueprint, bait the audience but don't make it too uncomfortable. I wish it was reckless to extreme, but that's just my taste.
Ok… now here's a selection I really wasn't expecting to like:
Black Moon Rising (1986) stars Tommy Lee Jones and Linda Hamilton with Robert Vaughn as the bad guy and also notable are appearances from Bubba Smith and Nick Cassavetes. What's this? The screenplay was by John Carpenter! Wow, what a cast list!
It has a 5.5/10 on IMDB from over 4,800 viewers, lol.
…
a real hidden gem of that genre. I really enjoyed every minute of it.
I mean, yeah, I can see why it's a 5.5/10 on a scale of every film ever made, but on a scale of video shop 80s action films, this is easily a 7/10, but for me today, with the added weight of all that instant nostalgia that literally drips from every crevice of every scene? Well, I got an 8/10 out of this unexpected wonder.
Because I forgot the most of it but did remember I liked it in the past, didn't comment a few weeks back, but rewatched it.
imdb votes completely failed here. Whoever panned it there should be ashamed. Idiots.
I mean 5/10? This move is above average in every sense of the word, even per today's Hollywood standard. Sure, those huge phones and hair styles look silly, but this movie was never about looks but about a smart script and decent key scenes and it did exactly that. Great performances are just bonus.
The painful finale is a touch of genious.
A mustwatch.
I also started watched about 10 mins of Uncut Gems, and I love a movie where Adam Sandler gives a fuck about his role
Can't stand comedies with that guy. I wished he never filmed anyting any more after I've watched two, forgot titles.
Now tell me, why should I risk that one and if?
