That is the neat part, there is no progression. I would say it is like a videogame Horde Mode, there are just more waves of victims that come until they got desperate and started doing shit like Jason Takes Manhattan and Jason X (where he is in a space ship).

Still fun to watch, though. And Freddy vs Jason was the best crossover of all time, fuck the Avengers.
The original A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Disturbing and surreal, Nancy’s awesome, Freddy’s a creep, brutal kills, confusing ending. This was a fantastic movie!
9/10

Okay, since Halloween Ends seems to be hot topic, I gotta put in my two cents. Here goes:
Halloween Ends exceeds Kills, but falls short to meet 2018’s quality. This movie appears to do the weird thing of introducing a new “important” character into the lore while simultaneously trying to tie things up. Spoiler: Michael Myers was nowhere to be seen until 40 minutes into the movie. I saw this movie with my mates and we actually asked each other where the main guy of the movie was. This doesn’t have to be a problem per se, setting the stage for a new character, but when you fucking kill said person after ¾ of the movie is over I think you have a problem. Second to that is that it wasn’t even that interesting to look at since 99% of the theater expected a suspensful cat vs mouse hunt between Laurie and Michael. Instead Michael was being a pathetic loser living in the sewers doing litterly nothing. When it finally came to the long anticipated fight, it took Laurie only a couple of hits to bring Michael down. This struck me as odd since he took multiple batswings and a few .45 rounds to the chest before.
Halloween Ends was okay, but not perfect. I’d rate it a 6,5 if I had to. The stage should’ve been open to Laurie and Michael, but instead was given to Allison and Edgelord. 
Atleast the ending wasn’t bad, after all.

I have a feeling that this is one of those films that will be more well-regarded with the passage of time.

The original Child’s Play.
This was a fairly creative genre mashup between eighties horror and eighties action movie that would sorely miss Brad Dourif. While a lot of it was as forgettable as an eighties action movie, I will give them credit for not taking themselves too seriously and embracing the ridiculous.
6.25/10

I suppose I could change it to “most” eighties action movies.

This is one of those moments (and with agenda infested entertainment and paid shills nowadays there"s plenty) where a movie/tv show has high praise from “critics” but is actually fucking garbage. And that movie is…
Barbarian (2022)
Holy shit!
Every character in the movie makes dumb decisions/does dumb shit Every scenario is improbable and requires you to suspend your disbelief to the point that your disbelief could file a lawsuit against your brain for “back pay” to cover the time you spent watching this visual portrayal of AIDS.
Imagine a crackhead prostitute holding a Dyson vacuum cleaner in each hand, in outer space, in front of a black hole like Gargantuan from Interstellar. This movie actually sucks more than that.

I watched " 13 Lives ", after I was recommended by my cousin.
This movie is based on a true incident,
inspiring movie where it will shows not to give up and how generosity of a huge number of thai people and people from other countries is dedicated to save the life of 13 kids trapped inside a cave for more than a week.
Trust me, if you are feeling low, this movie will surely change your mood.
Very thrilling movie, I suggest not to look at the real wiki of the incident (to avoid spoiler) - the movie has 100% true events.
This movie also dedicates to some of the heroes all over the world who are not known. The time was world cup 2018 and most of us missed this news that time (including me).
Awesome work by the director Ron Howard (who directed da vinci series, rush, frost nixon etc) and Colin Farrel is one of the cast.
PS: Most of the movie dialogue is in Thai, I suggest choose subtitle and audio language wisely (more than 30 audio/subs available in Amazon Prime)

I saw this a while back, and remember thinking it’s a competently made, fairly good movie.
I did also feel like I probably should’ve watched a documentary instead.

I was amazed by V.Mortensen, C.Farell and J.Edgerton’s performances.
An incredible story, depicted by a great director, Ron Howard.

Just saw Black Adam in cinema. Went in with no expectations, my dad was the one who wanted to see it. I dunno, I had fun. I don’t think there is anything special here but there was alot of action, thought the CGI held up. I liked the Justice Society characters, but then I think Pierce Brosnan is always good, and his character Doctor Fate was fun.
I always feel like in this thread my standard for movies is way lower than everybody elses. But I had a good time, nothing groundbreaking or special but I had fun.

The original Scream.
After getting past the nineties onslaught and the involvement of a certain producer and one of his accusers, this was great. Strong performances carry an equally strong mystery and it revels in both the strengths of the genre it spoofs as well as the ridiculousness and tropes.
Wes Craven hits it out of the park again. A solid 8.5/10

Thor: Love and Thunder
The things I liked.
- The Music
- The theatre play
- Chris "aka. Thor’s muscles
The things I hated
- The humour
- Old characters acting drastically different then past movies.
- A lot of the CGI looked awful
- The humour
- The humour
All in all I’m extremely satisfied that I said no to watching it in the cinema, when my SO asked me if I wanted to watch it with her friends. I’m stunned that in the year of the lord 2022. That a lot of big budget films, still got downright awful CGI. After watching this film, I’m glad that it’s been dead silent regarding Taika Waititi’s Star Wars film due to it’s reception. It’s one of the few times I’ll be relived if it turns out Lucasfilm cancels it. I really don’t think he as a director or writer is able to make something that isn’t a SNL sketch. Even if I heavily enjoyed Jojo Rabbit, I still find his brand of humour as an i’ll fit for A galaxy far far away.

That’s so neat, I just saw Thor 4: More Thor. Er, Thor: Love and Thunder last night, hadn’t posted this yet!
I thought it was good! I had a couple issues in that it didn’t take itself seriously enough throughout the entire film, but it was still enjoyable, quite a few laughs, and had enough of heart-warming/breaking moments to make it worthwhile to me.
They also tie the title of the movie right into the film at one point I thought was neat.
The use of the Guardians in this was short and sweet. Loved it when Nebula grabbed and gun to put down the goats and Mantis immediately joined her lmao.
Gonna love seeing them come back next month.
Jane Foster is back, now as the Mighty Thor. Natalie Portman did a good job at being the excited, nervous new Superhero unsure of what she just leapt into.
I think they should have maybe lengthened her transformation into Thor. Maybe give us a little of her surprise, or getting used to the role, training with Valkyrie maybe. She kind of just… shows up later being superhero-y and I wasn’t expecting that so soon.
This movie also went full Space God Epic, the whole sequence in Omnipotence City with all the different gods was a bit silly but fun overall (take my soul Bao, God of Dumplings). Russel Crowe as Zeus was a lot of fun as well, I really liked his accent and the CGI on all his Thunderbolt flaunting was great.
The Black and White realm was really cool! Such a nice unique filming style to just jam into the middle of your film.
I also really love how much this movie pushed for its Space Rock Adventure theme, brought to you by Guns N’ Roses. Nearly all the licensed songs are theirs, wow they got paid a lot for this one.
The credits sequence was also really awesome, with all the names resembling iconic Rock Band name designs.
Some stuff I just didn’t like:
The Goats got old after a while. Quite a lot of the Shadow Monsters had uncanny valley CGI. What the hell was up with that Axl Floating Head scene?? The first Shadow Monsters scene was just way too dark. I couldn’t see what was going on half the time.
But I enjoyed how the movie could slow down and get a bit somber when it wanted to (the Thor/Jane montage to Abba was bittersweet). The climax/beating the villain scene was heart-breaking, more to follow in spoilers. Love all the scenes with Thor and the kids.
I also love where the movie ended with Thor, and excited for what that could bring for the future.
Also, this is on me, but I’m impressed Marvel Studios created a moment where my parents – the confused, not knowledgeable “fans” of the MCU – both screamed in excitement at that mid-credits scene while I was the one who remained in confusion. (I don’t know who Brett Goldstein is)
Spoilers here
Okay, so, I really loved the moment where it’s revealed that being Thor is draining Jane of her strength, and if she keeps using it it will allow the cancer to kill her.
The moment where she shows up to help defeat Gorr was awesome, but had such a dark, sad undertone to it because you know she’s stepping up to do one last good thing, then die.
Loved her final hero moment. Also loved that the “Korg not knowing her name” running joke ended with finally getting it right, Dr. Jane Foster!

I actually saw Thor: Love & Thunder a while back and decided against doing a writeup here.
A good bunch of the Marvel movies have been less than excellent. A few I felt were a bit too slow and unengaging. This is the first Marvel movie that straight up annoys me.
To be fair I could tell where this was going when I saw Ragnarok.
Thor has been turned into a character that is “comedy dumb”. He says and does things in a way not even the most stupid, most ignorant person would. He does this because it’s “funny”.
In general dumb things like Stormbreaker being “jealous” happen because it’s “funny”.
I hate that.

I wish, now that they’ve embraced the mystical and supernatural in the MCU, instead of just hand-waving it as fancy science, that they would stop ignoring and/or making fun of Thor and other Asgardians for being gods, while showing all others under that category, such as the Celestials, their due respect.
