What a terrible f*cking movie. I didn't realize how bad it was since the only time I saw it was when I was 15. Just awful.

I remember liking it at the time, but I haven't seen it since it was fairly new.

Love that movie, I went to a horror movie festival to see it when it first came out in either 06 or 07.

I only remember liking Garden State for the soundtrack other than that it was very meh.

M3gan: 3/5 - Surprisingly hilarious. Really loses steam in the third act but a good time

Knock at the Cabin: 4/5 - I could see how someone would think this is dumb as **** but I had a really great time with this. I am a sucker for single-setting concept thrillers that get started right away and never really let off the gas

Scream 6: 4.5/5 - Might actually be my 2nd favorite in the franchise. Just ****ing loved basically everything about this. Very close to a full 5 stars but a couple minor nitpicks keep it from the perfect score

Champions: 1/5 - I only saw this because I pay for unlimited theater tickets and I had some free time on a Saturday. It is really bad

Shazam 2: 2.5/5 - Just like Antman, it has some fun comedy but is otherwise a pile of CGI dog****

I saw M3GAN with a discord watch party and it was hilarious to MS3TK it. The added commentary from us clowning on it made it way more enjoyable.

I got Knock at the Cabin spoiled for me. I still want to see it but I already know the general premise of it.

I really want to see Scream 6 but I'll wait til it's on demand. Wifey doesn't like horror movies as much as I do.

I have one of those unlimited passes too and end up doing what you do and seeing random stuff that I normally wouldn't pay to see. Might as well get the most use out of it.

I'm looking forward to see Shazam 2. I was supposed to see it last Thursday but plans changed. I'll probably go see a matinee showing of it some time this week.

I read the novel that Knock at the Cabin is based on ahead of time so I knew generally where it was going but still really loved the escalating tension. I bet you'll have a good time if you go in knowing what you're in for.

Scream 6 is a KILLER theater movie so if you can find a friend or anybody that will go with you it is so worth it. I went three times. I am kind of addicted to the theater experience lately

Shazam 2 is far from the best movie you'll ever see but it's worth just for some good laughs in the first half. Man does it fall off a cliff though in the back half when it's just Lucy Liu riding a bad CGI dragon for 30 straight minutes

I thought Knock at the Cabin was a huge letdown. Not much to it beyond what the trailer shows, plus the pacing and dialogue were wack af. It hits a few melodramatic moments pretty well but they overstay their welcome and just get tedious.

YorkeDaddy · 03-20-2023, 01:07 PM

I'm guessing you're referring to Knock at the Cabin?

**Frownland** · 03-20-2023, 01:12 PM

Yeah, updated the post. Although I have my suspicions about Shazam's melodramatic aspects...

YorkeDaddy · 03-20-2023, 01:16 PM

I liked Old a lot more than most too, I don't know I guess I just vibe with M. Night's goofy ass modern style.

**Frownland** · 03-20-2023, 01:22 PM

Yeah Old was great, I liked The Visit a lot too (do you think M Night wrote the little kid's bars?) Maybe Knock took itself too seriously for the "dumb but very entertaining" appeal his movies have for me. And then they slapped a corny ending on it.

djchameleon · 03-20-2023, 02:42 PM

Wasn't Knock directed by his daughter and not him so much?

I enjoyed Old.

I can't find anything about that, just that she's working on her debut.
