The trailer for this was legit one of my favorite movie trailers I've ever seen. Does the actual movie live up to it?

Re: Movie Recommendations

I don't know, I didn't watch the trailer, more an experience than entertaining I would say - I am glad I saw it

Re: Movie Recommendations

Infinity Pool reminded me a lot of that episode of Mad Men where Don is on business/holiday and he winds up with these rich eccentrics and faints by the poolside and there's a really sickly feeling about it all. Except this is way more nightmarish.

Pearl - It's kind of amazing to behold Mia Goth using all her facial muscles. Really good, I don't think many other actors could have carried this off so well.

John Wick 4 - I think the series has got progressively better with each film. The action, settings and how they're filmed overwhelms any qualms I have. Quite amazing at times.

Re: Movie Recommendations

Mia has chosen some very good horror movie roles in recent years. She's becoming a favorite. A Cure for Wellness, Suspiria, X, Pearl, and The Infinity Pool. I enjoyed all of them.

Re: Movie Recommendations

Dinner In America was getting compared to Wellcome To The Dollhouse and there are similarities but it's a lot more conventional, near cliched at points but I loved Emily Skeggs in it so much, all the little shifts in her facial expressions, haven't loved a film character this much in a long time. Skeggs has been getting award recognition for other films I haven't seen so I'll keep an eye out for her.

Re: Movie Recommendations

Hector Berlioz's The Damnation of Faust (2011), directed by Terry Gilliam.

Terry Gilliam's Faust English (National Opera) : Terry Gilliam : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: Movie Recommendations

I saw Children Of Paradise because Jessica Amanda Salmonson likes it so much. It carries itself very well through 3 hours and I liked Arletty a lot. Make sure you see the full version.

I did see that. It was decent. I forgot the movie The Survivalist. A Sci-Fi or post-apocalypse movie. I thought it was very good.

This from Wikipedia: Goth will reprise the role of Maxine Minx in the X sequel MaXXXine. Goth is set to appear in the crime thriller Sweet Dreams. She is also to be attached to star in Guillermo Del Toro's Frankenstein and in Marvel Studios' Blade

Re: Movie Recommendations

Would it be too snob if I say I didn´t watch a good horror movie released in 2023?

I will watch Evil Dead Rise tonight. I am going to return with my impressions.
